Excerpt: ... generally, so that the law and practice of the two countries are quite different. Light, or the benefit of light, is in itself not a thing at all in the legal sense any more than it is matter in the sense of the physicist; and the question is how far the enjoyment, in some definite manner and measure, of that which in itself is common to all the world can or does give rise to definite rights to be free from interruption in such enjoyment. Ownership. Ownership may be described as the entirety of the powers of use and disposal allowed by law. This implies that there is some power of disposal, and in modern times we should hardly be disposed to call a person an owner who had no such power.1 If we found anywhere a system of law which did not recognise alienation by acts of parties at all, we should say not that the powers of an owner were very much restricted in that system, but that it did not recognise ownership. The term, however, is not strictly a technical one in the Common Law,2 we shall presently see why. We must not suppose that all the powers of an owner need be exerciseable at once and immediately; he may remain owner though he' has parted with some of them for a time. He may for a time even part with his whole powers of use and enjoyment, and suspend his power of disposal, provided that he reserves, for himself or his successors, the right of ultimately reclaiming the thing and being restored to his power. This is the common case of hiring land, buildings, or goods. Again, the owner's powers may be limited in particular directions for an indefinite time by rights as permanent in their nature as ownership itself. Such is the case where the owner of Whiteacre has a right of vway over his neighbour's field of Blackacre. As this...

Download or read book Readings on the History and System of the Common Law written by Roscoe Pound and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-12 with total page 649 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Readings on the History and System of the Common Law The first edition has been used also by first-year students in law schools who desire a survey of the history of the common law, and some preliminary view of its system. The needs of such students have been taken into account. But those who use the book in this way are recommended to read the first part of Pollock's First Book of Jurisprudence in connection with the first chapter, Jenks's Short History of English Law in connection with the second chapter, the second part of Pollock's First Book of Jurisprudence in connection with the third chapter, Warren's History of the American Bar in connection with the fourth chapter, and Holland's Elements of Jurisprudence or Salmond's Jurisprudence in connection with chapters eight to twelve. In using such a compilation certain cautions are required. One who uses it should have a teacher or else should read with his eyes open and think critically as he reads. In the first place, the extracts are not always in accord with each other or with the ideas the editor has expressed in the insertions in smaller type. Perhaps it need not be said that choice of extracts proceeding on different theories has often been made deliberately in order to provoke thought and inquiry. Again, the historical material in the extracts from Blackstone and Kent must often be taken with caution and sometimes is valuable only as showing the ideas of legal history which governed legal thinking in a past generation. Moreover, the apocryphal reasons given by Blackstone and his imitators for doctrines which rest on historical grounds only must be scrutinized carefully. Where experience has shown that false impressions are likely to be formed which reading or instruction will not readily remove, notes have been inserted to challenge the attention of the student at once.

Book excerpt: Before he became U.S. Supreme Court justice in 1902, American jurist OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES JR. (1841-1935) was already famous as the most influential proponent for and teacher of the common law.

Discussed are: [ liability [ criminal law [ trespass and negligence [ fraud, malice, and intent [ possession and ownership [ the contract [ and much more. One of the most widely cited members of the Supreme Court, Holmes continues to dramatically impact the U.S. legal system to this day. This classic volume of his jurisprudence-reproduced here from the 1938 31st printing-is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand modern American law.

Download or read book Imagining the Law written by Norman F. Cantor and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when the role of the legal profession, the jury system and other key aspects of American law are under much dispute, "Imagining the Law" provides a historical perspective on these critical public issues. Historian Norman Cantor explains how and why common law developed out of Roman law, in response to the needs and assumptions of English society and culture from 1000 to 1780, and how it became the basis of the American legal system. Professor Cantor shows that many of the current debates about the jury trial, the adversarial model and other parts of our legal system stem from this history. He highlights the minds and personalities of prominent judicial leaders, from Cicero and Justinian in the ancient world, through Glanville and Bracton in the Middle Ages, to Coke, Blackstone and Bentham in later centuries. A concluding chapter relates the social and cultural history of common law to the American system of Supreme Court Justices John Marshall and Oliver Wendell Holmes and to the legal profession in the United States today. "Imagining the Law" is authoritatively based on the extensive amount of recent research and writing in the field of legal history, and on Professor Cantor's reading of thousands of court cases. It is the first book to examine legal history in a cultural and sociological context and thus illuminates one of our most important institutions in a whole new way.
Download or read book The Fourth Amendment written by Michael J. Z. Mannheimer and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2023-08-22 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Police are required to obey the law. While that seems obvious, courts have lost track of that requirement due to misinterpreting the two constitutional provisions governing police conduct: the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments. The Fourth Amendment forbids "unreasonable searches and seizures" and is the source of most constitutional constraints on policing. Although that provision technically applies only to the federal government, the Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in the wake of the Civil War, has been deemed to apply the Fourth Amendment to the States. This book contends that the courts’ misinterpretation of these provisions has led them to hold federal and state law enforcement mistakenly to the same constitutional standards. The Fourth Amendment was originally understood as a federalism, or “states’ rights,” provision that, in effect, required federal agents to adhere to state law when searching or seizing. Thus, applying the same constraint to the States is impossible. Instead, the Fourteenth Amendment was originally understood in part as requiring that state officials (1) adhere to state law, (2) not discriminate, and (3) not be granted excessive discretion by legislators. These principles should guide judicial review of modern policing. Instead, constitutional constraints on policing are too strict and too forgiving at the same time. In this book, Michael J.Z. Mannheimer calls for a reimagination of what modern policing could look like based on the original understandings of the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments.
Download or read book Statutory and Common Law Interpretation written by Kent Greenawalt and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kent Greenwalt's second volume on aspects of legal interpretation analyzes statutory and common law interpretation, suggesting that multiple factors are important for each, and that the relation between them influences both. The book argues against any simple "textualism," claiming that even reader understanding of statutes depends partly on perceived intent. In respect to common law interpretation, use of reasoning by analogy is defended and any simple dichotomy of "holding" and "dictum" is resisted.
