Dictatorship, Democracy, and Transitional Justice in Global Legal History
The anthology presents the lectures given on the symposium »From Dictatorship to democracy« at the House of the Wannsee Conference on 13–14 September 2021. The aim of the organizers was to show what problems existed during the transition from dictatorship to democracy in several countries around the world. They all enacted laws or other measures to ensure that fundamental rights and the rule of law would resist anti-democratic ideologies, anti-Semitism, racism, and war crimes in the future. However, the legal system and law in these countries themselves often had their origins in dictatorship. Thus, there were and are obvious and hidden anti-democratic continuities that influence law and the legal system up to the present. Scientifics and jurists from Italy, Japan, Poland, Spain, South Africa, and Germany examine these continuities in their contributions.

Over the past decade, the problem of popular justice has been the subject of a major historiographic renewal. In particular, the conferences at Trento (2012) and Regensburg (2015) advanced on many fronts in our understanding not only of the multiplicity of fields covered by the concept of popular justice but also of the historical processes that conditioned the transformation, the emergence or the extinction of its various forms, from the late 18th century to the present day. With the affirmation of nation-states, this led to the legitimization and institutionalization of the exercise of justice by the ́people ́under the close control of government. The people's jury is probably the judici...
Control of Supreme Courts in Early Modern Europe
Kontrollmechanismen für Höchstgerichte sind im heutigen Europa selten zu finden. In einigen Ländern existieren Ombudsmänner, die durch die Bürger angerufen werden können, wenn diese den Eindruck haben, ein Höchstgericht hätte Unrecht entschieden. In den meisten Ländern ist aber das Höchstgericht die letzte Instanz, gegen dessen Entscheidung es kein Rechtsmittel gibt. Ganz anders war dies in der Frühen Neuzeit, in der vor allem das Bild des Monarchen als höchster Richter vorherrschte.Der Band ist das Ergebnis zweier Workshops, die sich mit der Kontrolle der Höchstgerichte im Europa der Frühen Neuzeit beschäftigen. In den einzelnen Vorträgen wurde untersucht, welche Mechanismen von Kontrolle begrifflich und inhaltlich in der Frühen Neuzeit gegriffen haben und welche Akteure dabei tätig waren. Die Vortragenden beleuchteten die Situation im Heiligen Römischen Reich, der iberischen Halbinsel, Schottland und Schweden.
Lawyers, Swamps, and Money
Lawyers, Swamps, and Money is an accessible, engaging guide to the complex set of laws governing America's wetlands. After explaining the importance of these critical natural areas, the book examines the evolution of federal law, principally the Clean Water Act, designed to protect them. Readers will first learn the basics of administrative law: how agencies receive and exercise their authority, how they actually make laws, and how stakeholders can influence their behavior through the Executive Branch, Congress, the courts, and the media. These core concepts provide a base of knowledge for successive discussions of: the geographic scope and activities covered by the Clean Water Act the curio...

Understanding the Sources of Early Modern and Modern Commercial Law
The contributions of Understanding the Sources of Early Modern and Modern Commercial Law: Courts, Statutes, Contracts, and Legal Scholarship show the wealth of sources which historians of commercial law use to approach their subject. Depending on the subject, historical research on mercantile law must be ready to open up to different approaches and sources in a truly imaginative and interdisciplinary way. This, more than many other branches of law, has always been largely non-state law. Normative, ‘official’, sources are important in commercial law as well, but other sources are often needed to complement them. The articles of the volume present an excellent assemblage of those sources.

Gerichtsverfassung und Verfahren im 19. Jahrhundert
Im Herbst des Jahres 2008 während eines wissenschaftlichen Treffens an der Universität Würzburg wurde die Forschergruppe Europäische Justizgeschichte im 19. Jahrhundert gegründet. Es folgten Treffen in Berlin und Passau, die das Richteramt in der Justizgeschichte im 19. Jahrhundert betrachteten sowie die Rezeption des Französischen Rechts in der europäischen Justizgeschichte des 19. Jahrhunderts. Die Ergebnisse dieser beiden Treffen finden die Leser in diesem Tagungsband zusammengefasst.
