Big Legal History and the Hundred Year Test
The generation of legal historians working in the opening decades of the twenty-first century have an opportunity to use digital technology to bring the sources of legal history to a wider audience of scholars and to facilitate the research of future scholars for many generations to come. I say this because, commencing in 1999, I compiled a searchable database of identifying information about and content of the 22,318 reports in the Year Books, c…

Bracton, the Year Books, and the “Transformation of Elementary Legal Ideas” in the Early Common Law
The language of the common law has a life and a logic of its own, resilient through eight centuries of unceasing talk.
