Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - xv, 266 pp. xv, 266 pp. Using fiction as a lens to view our present circumstances and our growing concerns about terrorism and civil liberties, each of the essays discusses a work of literary fiction - some classical, some modern - that concerns, directly or indirectly, the historical development of the law. Each essay considers the legal lessons about the fictional event or events at its core, lessons that tell us something worth remembering as we continue to chart law's evolution. These lessons, like those that may be found in all great literature, necessarily extend beyond the historical confines of the characters and plot and background of each story to embrace the modern condition - which, as these great stories suggest, is and always has been the only condition.Published by Talbot Publishing, an imprint of the Lawbook Exchange, Ltd.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The Purchase of all of Louisiana in 1803 brought the new American nation into contact with the French Creole population of the Lower Mississippi Basin. The Spanish called it Baja Luisiana. While the settlement in and around the city of New Orleans (the capital of the province when it was ruled by Spain) was not large, it had well established governmental and legal institutions. Which system of law would prevail in this volatile corner of the North American continent, a region that was distant and strategically vulnerable to rival European powers Spain, France and Great Britain - who still coveted the vast empire that was Louisiana This was one of the most vexing problems that confronted the Administration of Thomas Jefferson. Reflecting contemporary American opinion, Jefferson did not believe that the United States would be able to incorporate Lower Louisiana into the Union on a basis of equality as a separate and independent state until the very character of its people and the institutional foundation of its culture had been thoroughly transformed. The pivotal issue that came to symbolize this conflict was the struggle between Louisiana civil law and Anglo-American common law. That Louisianians would remain committed to their civil law heritage was by no means certain. But the enactment of the Civil Law Digest by the territorial legislature in 1808 was a major event in the evolution of Louisiana's increasingly complex legal regime. Jefferson's Louisiana shows how this important moment came at a time when political forces and outside events joined together to reinforce local determination to resist total Americanization and to preserve Louisiana's established legal culture. The book reconnects a segment of American legal history to the general history of the period. In addition to official records, it also uses archival sources that demonstrate how the struggle between civil law and common law forces affected people who were either outside of, or but marginally connected to, legal and governmental structures. As stated in the Introduction to this revised edition of Jefferson's Louisiana, 'The Civil Law Digest of 1808 was not only a foundational legal document but a constitutive cultural moment in historical time - an effort by the people of Louisiana to preserve language, culture, and historical memory as well as law.' George Dargo grew up in Brooklyn, New York. A graduate of Erasmus Hall High School and Columbia College, he completed his Doctorate in the Department of History at Columbia University and, later, earned his law degree at Northeastern University. His previous books include Roots of the Republic, Law in the New Republic, and A History of the U.S.Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. He now teaches law at New England Law/Boston. Along with his wife Lois, he lives in Brookline, Massachusetts. 'This penetrating book, first published in 1975, has already influenced and shaped the work of a whole generation of historians and scholars.With this new revised edition published by The Lawbook Exchange, its influence will continue and increase. George Dargo's work remains the indispensable point of departure for those who wish to understand the complex and contingent historical forces at play in Louisiana's successful retention of its civilian legal heritage. A valuable feature of this revised edition is a new introductory essay from the author summarizing and evaluating in a most lucid and balanced way the various debates among scholars that have appeared or continued since the original edition. And the timing of this publication seems perfect-given the recent celebration of the Bicentennial of the Digest of 1808, which itself embodied the 'clash of legal traditions.'

He was a Professor of Law at New England Law|Boston from 1983 until his death.Volume: 1Review 1 (3900 characters maximum):This book will stand as a monument to an extraordinary historian. George Dargo was one of those rare legal historians with both a PhD in History and a JD in Law. The newly revised and edited essays in Colony to Empire reflect the depth of his background in law and history and they represent the work of an impressive life in scholarship. Few legal historians could successfully write a book of such erudition covering the colonial period to the present. Dargo's achievement is breathtaking.Source:Kenneth S. Greenberg, Dean, Suffolk University, College of Arts and SciencesReview 2 (3900 characters maximum):Multiculturalism is a misapplied buzz-word today. For a true understanding of its role and application, many of the chapters in this book provide a useful corrective. Not only the chapters on Louisiana, but the episodes devoted to the work of Judge Calvert Magruder are particularly illuminating. This book highlights the unique qualities and special contribution that Judge Magruder personified. His broad vision and keen sensitivity enabled him to see decades in advance the true meaning of multiculturalism and how a great judge could advance that meaning in a constitutional democracy. This book brings to life many of these themes and qualities. Its broad reach and wide scope provide a critical new perspective on the role of law in American history.Source:Neil Hecht, Director, Institute of Jewish Law, Professor of Law Emeritus, Boston University School of Law.

". . . among the finest volumes I have been associated with. The issues are complex both legally and politically, and Dargo's accomplishment is to recognize that the legal could not (and should not) be disentangled from the political. . . . The book was, and is, a triumph of historical scholarship, just as compelling in this revised edition in 2009 as it was when first published in 1975. . . . His new Introduction is the best guide I know of to the complicated world of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Louisiana law." Stanley N.
