Codification of late Roman inheritance law: Fideicommissa and the Theodosian Code
It has long been known that most of the private law content of the Theodosian Code has not been preserved independently of the Lex Romana Visigothorum . Certain constitutions, not contained in the LRV but dating to the period covered by the CT, have survived in the Code of Justinian. This article discusses this problem with respect to a particular topic: fideicommissa . The article discusses whether a particular constitution, CJ 6.37.21, might ha…
Christianity and the Legal Status of Abandoned Children in the Later Roman Empire
A.H.M. Jones, the great British historian of the later Roman Empire, was once asked what difference conversion to Christianity made to Rome. His answer: None.

The origins of quare impedit
The writ of quare impedit was, until the mid-nineteenth century, a standard real action for the recovery of advowsons. This article argues that the writ was most likely created between 1187 and 1196, and that it was, at least in part, a response to pressure from religious houses that acquired advowsons by charter of gift and were precluded from bringing the writ of right of advowson or the assize of darrein presentment
