Law in Theory and History by Maksymilian Del Mar,Michael Lobban Pdf

This collection of original essays brings together leading legal historians and theorists to explore the oft-neglected but important relationship between these two disciplines. Legal historians have often been sceptical of theory. The methodology which informs their own work is often said to be an empirical one, of gathering information from the archives and presenting it in a narrative form. The narrative produced by history is often said to be provisional, insofar as further research in the archives might falsify present understandings and demand revisions. On the other side, legal theorists are often dismissive of historical works. History itself seems to many theorists not to offer any jurisprudential insights of use for their projects: at best, history is a repository of data and examples, which may be drawn on by the theorist for her own purposes. The aim of this collection is to invite participants from both sides to ask what lessons legal history can bring to legal theory, and what legal theory can bring to history. What is the theorist to do with the empirical data generated by archival research? What theories should drive the historical enterprise, and what wider lessons can be learned from it? This collection brings together a number of major theorists and legal historians to debate these ideas.

Essays in Legal Theory by Denis James Galligan Pdf

A significant development in law schools in recent years is the reflowering, or in many cases the first flowering, of interest in legal theory. This may take the form of a greater concern with the jurisprudential and philosophical basis of law; alternatively, it may be represented in attempts to bring to bear on legal issues the knowledge and insights developed in other disciplines. Both directions branch into a multitude of sub-disciplines, any one of which offers rich pickings to the legal academic. The object of these essays, all of which were written specially for the volume by members of the Law Faculty of the University of Melbourne, is to take a number of legal issues which are of particular contemporary interest and to analyse them in a theoretical way or by using knowledge and techniques derived from other disciplines. The authors cover such topics as the patentability of living organisms; the legal and ethical problems that arise from medical research and experiment; the economic basis of property rights; the application to the decisions of officials of values deriving from fairness and rationality; the arguments for and against regulating the professions; the theoretical basis of the law of evidence and how this relates to practical issues; whether legal systems are in fact 'systems'; the relationship between Marxism and positivism; the capacities of the courts in dealing with non-justiciable issues; and the relationship between private and public law concepts.

Law and Interpretation by Andrei Marmor Pdf

Interest in interpretation has emerged in recent years as one of the main intellectual paradigms of legal scholarship. This collection of new essays in law and interpretation provides the reader with an overview of this important topic, written by some of the most distinguished scholars in the field. The book begins with interpretation as a general method of legal theorizing, and thus provides critical assessment of the recent "interpretative turn" in jurisprudence. Further chapters include essays on the nature of interpretation, its objectivity, the possible determinacy of legal standards, and their nature. Concluding with a series of articles on the role of legislative intent in the interpretation of statutes, this work offers new and refreshing insights into this old controversy.
