CALL FOR BLOG PIECES
Cross-jurisdictional dialogues between WWI and WWII and their impact on law development: the less-known stories
The period between World War I and World War II was characterised by vigorous debates and legal innovation in response to extreme social and economic challenges. This was a time of disillusionment with well-established paradigms and legislative models, but also a time of hope in which comparative dialogue and exchange of ideas between jurisdictions thrived. Some of these exchanges have had a long-lasting impact both on doctrinal and legislative development, but not all stories are well-known.
Are there tales of cross-jurisdictional dialogue in the interwar period to which comparative lawyers should pay more attention? From which legal systems did your jurisdiction borrow legal ideas in this period? Were there foreign scholars whose work impacted doctrinal writing or even legislation in your jurisdiction? Or maybe it was legal innovation and scholarly writing from your jurisdiction which sparked important debates and legislative changes elsewhere? To give an example – the 1933 Polish Code of Obligations inspired a conference in Bratislava at which the main topic was whether all Slavic countries should unify their law of obligations based on this model. The idea was rejected for being too ambitious, but it motivated leading Bulgarian scholar Yosif Fadenhecht to write a monograph comparing the provisions of the Polish code with the rules on obligations in Bulgaria, France, Italy, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. While Fadenhecht's in-depth interest in Polish law remains unmatched in Bulgaria, he managed to put the Polish legal tradition in the spotlight for years to come.
Do you know of other fascinating stories of how cross-jurisdictional dialogues between World War I and World War II have impacted law development? You can focus on one legal principle, the work of a scholar or a group of scholars, or provide a general overview of how cross-jurisdictional dialogue has impacted a legal system that you research.

PRIZE: Van Caenegem Prize 2022 awarded to dr. Paolo ASTORRI (Copenhagen)
(Image source: ESCLH Secretary-General)
The ESCLH awarded the 2022 Van Caenegem Prize to dr. Paolo Astorri (Copenhagen) for his article “Can a judge rely on his private knowledge? Early modern Lutherans and Catholics compared”, which appeared in issue 1 of vol IX of the Society’s journal Comparative Legal History (DOI 10.1080/2049677X.2021.1908935).
Abstract:
This article examines the opinions of Catholic and Lutheran authors on the question of whether a judge should decide a case according to his personal knowledge when that knowledge conflicts with the charges and evidence at the trial. The majority of the Catholics contended that the judge had to follow the evidence. They distinguished between the judge as a public functionary and as a private man. The judge could not use in a trial what he knew as a man. There were certain Lutherans whose opinions remained close to this position. However, a significant number argued that the distinction between the judge as a functionary and as a man lacked foundation. Divine law commanded the judge to avoid lies and not to kill an innocent. If the judge knew that someone was innocent and nonetheless condemned him by following the evidence at the trial, he committed a sin. To avoid giving an unjust sentence, the judge had to use the knowledge he had obtained privately.

BOOK: Alexander Callander MURRAY, The Merovingians. Kingship, Institutions, Law, and History (Londra: Routledge, 2022), ISBN: 9781032054230
(Image source: Routledge)
ABOUT THE BOOK
The studies collected here cover a period of about 33 years, from 1986 to 2019, and represent a sustained effort to understand the institutions of the Merovingian kingdom and its history. There has long been a predisposition to cast the Merovingian period in the dark colours of barbarism or to treat it with reference to personal relationships and archaic institutions. The present volume, instead, recognizes the Merovingian world not as an archaic, primitive intrusion on the Mediterranean civilization of the Roman Empire but simply as a participant in the wider commonwealth that existed before and remained after the dissolution of the western imperial system; in so doing, it serves to refute the scholarly tendency to primitivize Merovingian governance, its underlying institutions, and the broader culture upon which these rested.
The collection is divided into four parts. Part I considers the question of whether Merovingian kingship should be viewed as a species of archaic, ‘sacral’ kingship. Part II, on institutions, has chapters that deal with various offices (the grafio and centenarius), public institutions (especially immunity and public security), and the broader makeup of the Merovingian state system. Part III, on charters, procedure, and law, has chapters on the profile of the charter evidence as now presented in the new MGH edition of the Merovingian diplomas and one on particular procedures before the royal tribunal, mistakenly referred to in scholarship as ‘fictitious’ trials; a final chapter provides a reflection on, and basic guide to, the law in general of the successor kingdoms, with an eye to the evidence of Merovingian Gaul. Part IV, a slight change of pace, deals with historiography, both the modern variety (Reinhard Wenskus) and the Merovingian (Gregory of Tours). All chapters deal extensively with the historiography of their subjects.
This book will appeal to students and scholars alike interested in Early Medieval European history, Merovingian history, Early Medieval law and society, Early Medieval historiography, and the influence of Merovingian law and governance on later centuries.

(Image source: L’Harmattan)
ABOUT THE BOOK
Violent, cruel, barbare... C'est encore ainsi que le Moyen Âge est décrit et imaginé. En étudiant les lieux et les structures grâce auxquels les nombreux seigneurs parisiens rendaient la justice, cet ouvrage remet en cause l'image traditionnelle de la justice médiévale. Recensant l'ensemble de ces lieux de l'espace public dans la capitale et ses faubourgs, du XIIe à la fin du XVe siècles, l'étude offre une représentation globale des pratiques pénales parisiennes. Au croisement d'une histoire matérielle et politique, ce travail inédit manifeste les politiques territoriales des seigneurs de la capitale en cette fin du Moyen Âge et montre que ces structures judiciaires étaient multifonctionnelles. Bien plus que de simples supports des exécutions, ces objets portent en eux des usages politiques, territoriaux et symboliques.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Formée en histoire et histoire de l'Art et archéologie à l'Université de Paris 1, Lucie Ecorchard a poursuivi ses études en master d'histoire et anthropologie des sociétés médiévales. Actuellement, elle travaille au musée national Eugène Delacroix.

COLLOQUE: Justices manifestes. L’enregistrement de la scène judiciaire (22-23 Juin 2022, Paris)
(Image source: Réseau des médiévistes belges de langue française)
Les institutions judiciaires ne gardent pas seulement la trace des crimes et délits, du contentieux et des éventuelles décisions des magistrats, mais aussi du caractère apparent, ritualisé de la justice. Elles rendent ainsi, en leurs écrits, la justice manifeste. En considérant la scène judiciaire comme une rencontre, ce colloque vise à en envisager le déroulement, les espaces et les acteurs, mais aussi le décor, les paroles, les gestes et les objets ; tous en tant qu’ils sont saisis par l’enregistrement judiciaire. De la réception des magistrats à la prononciation et à l’exécution des décisions de justice en passant par le déroulé des audiences, les pratiques d’enregistrement du rituel judiciaire sont ainsi examinées dans la diversité des institutions judiciaires médiévales et modernes.

Presentation:
Depuis la thèse controversée de Lucien Goldmann, un constat sociologique semble faire l’unanimité : si les jansénistes ne furent pas tous juristes, si les juristes ne furent pas tous jansénistes, les milieux jansénistes et juridiques se sont souvent recoupés ou ont entretenu des relations étroites. Ce fait social invite à se poser deux questions, non exclusives l’une de l’autre. Existe-t-il un droit janséniste, c’est-à-dire une conception, une interprétation ou une pratique du droit spécifiquement jansénistes ? Quel rôle ont joué la culture, les doctrines, les controverses juridiques dans l’émergence, le développement et les mutations du jansénisme ? Les contributions du présent ouvrage visent à éclairer les effets juridiques du jansénisme sur les relations Église-État. Ce numéro des Chroniques de Port-Royal regroupe les actes du colloque organisé par la Société des amis de Port-Royal en octobre 2021, sous la direction scientifique de Bernard Callebat, Blandine Hervouët, Simon Icard et Gilles Olivo.
