Beskrivning

Network and Connections in Legal History examines networks of lawyers, legislators and litigators, and how they shaped legal development in Britain and the world. It explores how particular networks of lawyers - from Scotland to East Florida and India - shaped the culture of the forums in which they operated, and how personal connections could be crucial in pressuring the legislature to institute reform - as with twentieth century feminist campaigns. It explores the transmission of legal ideas; what happened to those ideas was not predetermined, but when new connections were made, they could assume a new life. In some cases, new thinkers made intellectual connections not previously conceived, in others it was the new purposes to which ideas and practices were applied which made them adapt. This book shows how networks and connections between people and places have shaped the way that legal ideas and practices are transmitted across time and space.

Recensioner i media

'This is a very worthwhile collection, exploring the many and various ways in which networks and connections have had a bearing on the development of law, legal practice and legal systems. The chapters give different and stimulating perspectives on the importance of connections between lawyers, ideas and bodies of law, showing the influence of these connections, both in fostering inclusion and expansion, and also in excluding those outside a network. With a geographic reach which takes in Europe, Africa, North America and India, and a broad temporal scope, there is much to engage anyone with an interest in legal history.' Gwen Seabourne, Professor of Legal History, University of Bristol Law School
