The Journal Mitteilungen des Instituts für Österreichische Geschichtsforschung published reviews in the second issue of its 125th volume. Josef Pauser (Vienna) reviewed a book of interest to legal historians of the Holy Roman Empire, Sigrid Jahns (LMU München), Das Reichskammergericht und seine Richter. Verfassung und Sozialstruktur eines höchsten Gerichts im Alten Reich (ISBN 978-3-412-06403-7, € 59,9).

Book description (publisher):

Gegenstand dieses Werkes ist der Spruchkörper des einen der beiden höchsten Gerichte im Alten Reich, des „kaiserlichen und des Heiligen Römischen Reichs“ Kammergerichts. Nachdem bereits 2003 Teil II mit den Einzelbiographien der im 18. Jahrhundert am RKG als Richter tätigen Assessoren erschien, wird nun der darstellende Teil I vorgelegt. Nach einer einleitenden Verortung des Gerichts im Verfassungsgefüge des Reiches, einer Bestimmung seiner rechtswissenschaftlichen Bedeutung und rechtsprechenden Funktion im Wandel dreier Jahrhunderte sowie einem Überblick über Stellung und Aufgaben von Direktorialpersonen und Assessoren geht es in dieser verfassungs- und sozialgeschichtlichen Studie zunächst um die Entwicklung des Vorschlagsverfahrens zur Besetzung der Assessorate. Dieses sogenannte Präsentationssystem war seit seinen Anfängen um 1500 bis zum Ende des Alten Reiches 1806 ein Spiegel der Reichsverfassung mit ihren Kräftefeldern und Problemzonen. Mit seiner reichsweiten Streuung der Vorschlagsrechte prägte das Präsentationssystem auch die Sozialstruktur der Assessorengruppe. Die Großabschnitte, die sich auf dem Hintergrund der seit 1495/1555 geltenden normativen Bestimmungen dem sozialen und professionellen Profil des Kameralkollegiums widmen, konzentrieren sich vor allem auf geographische Rekrutierung, theoretisch-praktische Ausbildung, soziale Herkunft und soziale Mobilität. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf der Wetzlarer Zeit des Gerichts. Die
Darstellung zeigt das RKG und vor allem die Personalverfassung seines Richtergremiums im Spannungsfeld zwischen anfänglicher Modernität und späterer Reformbedürftigkeit und erkennt darin Verwerfungen in der ständischen Gesellschaft sowie Probleme der gesamten Reichsverfassung in der
Spätzeit des Alten Reiches.

CHAPTER: What is Comparative Legal History? Legal Historiography and the Revolt against Formalism, 1930-1960

The Legal History Blog reports the publication of the chapter  "What is Comparative Legal History? Legal Historiography and the Revolt Against Formalism, 1930-60" (Adolfo Giuliani, Perugia), forthcoming in Comparative Legal History: A Research Handbook in Comparative Law (ed. Aniceto Masferrer Domingo,  Kjell Å Modéer, and Olivier Moréteau (Elgar 2016). This word is a project of our Society.

Abstract:

What is comparative legal history? This essay aims to show that to understand the rise of this field of inquiry we need first to clarify how historiography changes in time. To this purpose, this essay begins from two main ideas.
First, the writing of legal history is deeply intertwined with an image of law which tells us what is law, how it is created and by whom. This is in fact the premise for doing legal history, as it determines the object of investigation.
Second, the decades 1930-60 saw a profound turn in European legal science. Some legal scholars challenged the legacy received from the 19th century and launched an attack on the ‘formalism’ at the heart of its intellectual framework.
Those path-breaking insights gave life to a wave of works self-styled as comparative legal history published in the period 1930-60. At their heart were some of the innovative ideas that have fueled original legal-historical research in the last decades, and which today are shared as an obvious truth (e.g. to place law in context, to think outside the doctrinal box, the dislike of abstract theorising). They are the fruit of the antiformalist turn of the 1930-60.

CONFERENCE: International Law in the Long Nineteenth Century (c. 1775-1920) (Leuven: KULeuven, 24-25 Nov 2016)

(Mgr Sencie Institute; image source: Screenflanders)

The University of Leuven (R. Lesaffer, I. Van Hulle) organizes a conference on International Law in the Long Nineteenth Century  on 24 and 25 November 2016.

On the conference:

Recent historiography on public international law of the long nineteenth century consists of several storylines. For a long time, there was a strong emphasis on the period after 1870, which was regarded as a precursor to the formation of a truly global international law. Thus the nineteenth century was presented as the era in which international law as a discipline finally came to fruition through the creation of specialized chairs, professional societies, modern journals and academic contributions. International jurists embraced new scientific theories such as economic liberalism and positivism and said goodbye to the natural law as an interpretative paradigm. In addition, significant progress was made in the area of human rights, international humanitarian law, arbitration and the conclusion of multilateral treaties. However, in contrast to these nobles aspirations, recent literature on international law has also indicated the strong ties to imperialism. Recent research has taken important steps towards investigating the development of international law in the period before 1870, for example, by highlighting its contribution to the abolition of the slave trade and slavery, the impact of political economy, the role of the Holy Alliance and the growth of international maritime law and warfare. 

This conference aims to encourage critical reflections on traditional historiographical themes, methods and sources used to study nineteenth-century international law. As such, they will provide new research topics such as, for example, the role of big versus small states in shaping international legal doctrine, the contributions of Western and non-Western jurists for the development of international law, the continuities and differences in relation to earlier and later periods, the legacy of the Napoleonic era, indigenous forms of international law, regional systems of international law, etc.

Mieke Van der Linden (Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law, Heidelberg) published an updated version of her doctoral dissertation (defended at Tilburg University, under the direction of R. Lesaffer, 2014) under the title The Acquisition of Africa (1870-1914). The Nature of International Law.

Book description:

Over recent decades, the responsibility for the past actions of the European colonial powers in relation to their former colonies has been subject to a lively debate. In this book, the question of the responsibility under international law of former colonial States is addressed. Such a legal responsibility would presuppose the violation of the international law that was applicable at the time of colonization. In the ‘Scramble for Africa’ during the Age of New Imperialism (1870-1914), European States and non-State actors mainly used cession and protectorate treaties to acquire territorial sovereignty (imperium) and property rights over land (dominium). The question is raised whether Europeans did or did not on a systematic scale breach these treaties in the context of the acquisition of territory and the expansion of empire, mainly through extending sovereignty rights and, subsequently, intervening in the internal affairs of African political entities.

 On the author:

Mieke van der Linden, Ph.D (2014), is senior researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law. She has published a dissertation, book chapters and articles on the legacy of Africa’s colonization in international law, including ‘The Inextricable Connection between Historical Consciousness and International Law: New Imperialism, the International Court of Justice and its Interpretation of the Inter-temporal Rule’ (in: C. Binder et al., 2014 ESIL Conference Proceedings, vol. 5. Oxford: forthcoming) and ‘The Euro-Centric Nature of International Law, A Legacy from New Imperialism’ (in: D. De ruysscher et al (eds.), Legal History, Moving in New Directions. Antwerp: 2015, pp. 413-427).
