Scottish Legal History 2001 – 2022
European Twentieth-Century Dictatorship and the Law
Between 1900 and 1920 some of the great old political orders broke down, the Chinese and the Russian Empire, the monarchy of the Habsburgs, and the German Reich. Uncertainties and anxieties about the future caused a broad deviation from the ideas and promises of liberalism, parliamentary democracy, and international law. Everywhere anti-liberal authoritarian movements organized themselves. The contribution concentrates on the German law under the…
English Law and its Expansion
Early modern England was a legally pluralistic society. The laws of the Crown derived from its royal prerogative rights, which were based on Roman and common law. The Crown’s excessive use of prerogatives often came into conflict with the English Parliament and the royal courts of common law. This conflict resulted in constitutional crises throughout the seventeenth century and, ultimately, in the ‘Westminster system’ of government by 1800. Along…
Colonial and Indigenous ‘Laws’—The Case of Britain’s Empires, C.1750–1850
This chapter argues that indigenous and colonial ‘laws’ were made and adapted in and through entanglements of peoples and dynamic political-normative regimes or epistemic communities. These underlying complexities might be obscured in extant anglophone high-level treatises or colonial judicial decisions, let alone indigenous participation in introduced colonial forums, but remain important to appreciate. In approaching the multiple ‘legalities’ i…
Spanish Law and its Expansion
This chapter addresses the way Spain employed law in its discovery, exploration, conquest, and settlement of the New World. After describing the law on the peninsula, the chapter traces the application and adaptation of these legal materials and institutions to Spain’s new provinces through a new and important body of law known as derecho indiano. Specific aspects of colonial control are addressed in their relationship to new conditions and imper…
The Oxford Handbook of European Legal History
The Oxford Handbook of European Legal History charts the landscape of contemporary research and the shift from national legal histories to comparative methods, which have profoundly affected the way we understand legal transformation at the local, national, regional, European, and global level. The Handbook shows legal change in terms of continuous flow and exchange of influences, which take place within complicated combinations of cultural, poli…
Ancient Greek Law
This chapter gives an overview of law in ancient Greece. After discussing the unity of Greek law and scholarship on Greek law, it reviews the evidence for law in Gortyn (in Crete), including the Gortyn Law Code, in Sparta, and at greater length in Athens, which is best documented. Athens had a highly democratic legal system. Legislation was enacted by an Assembly open to all citizens, laws were written and publicly displayed, plaintiffs and defen…
Roni Horn's Icelandic Encyclopedia
Since 1990, the American artist Roni Horn has published nine volumes of a book project titled To Place which she calls an ‘Icelandic Encyclopaedia’. The books include over 400 photographs. In this paper, I contextualize the project in the history of post‐conceptual photographic practices and artists' books. I argue that Horn uses the form of the archive and encyclopedia to undo rather than cement categories and definitions, by constantly shifting…

Cameras, Corn, Christopher Williams, and the Cold War
In the summer of 2006, I was invited to be on a jury of a photographic competition at the Museu Serralves in Porto. When I arrived, I discovered that the proceedings were taking place largely in Portuguese, which somewhat challenged my participation. Thankfully, this circumstance allowed me to spend the bulk of my two days in the museum’s temporary exhibition: Christopher Williams’s For Example: Dix-Huit Lecons Sur La Societe Industrielle (Revisi…

More than 'Involvement'. How Commissioning User Interviewers in the Research Process Begins to Change the Balance of Power
Asking users for their views is not enough. While social work today is required to seek the views of users, more needs to be done to include them in all aspects of research, planning and the evaluation of social care. Rather than seeing user involvement as a box to tick, here is a real opportunity to engage users and do things differently in the future. The author undertook a small-scale research study to obtain the views of users, carers and soc…

Arbitration and Dispute Resolution in Sixteenth Century Scotland
No Abstract
The Assumption of Jurisdiction
This article considers how the Scottish Court of Session developed out of the restricted jurisdiction of the medieval King's Council, and achieved recognition as a supreme civil court during the sixteenth century, thereby assimilating the main judicial role of the medieval Scottish Parliament. It argues that the change resulted not from any particular legislative or judicial decision but from a gradual assumption of jurisdiction concealed within …
