Book excerpt: "Le principal objectif [de ce livre est] de sensibiliser les juristes interagissant avec des collègues formés dans un Québec de droit mixte ou des provinces ou territoires où le droit est ancré uniquement dans la tradition de Common law à l’existence de différences méthodologiques et conceptuelles importantes entre la tradition de Common law et celle de droit civil telle qu’elle s’exprime au Québec. Le texte exposera ces différences en mettant de l’avant ce que l’on pourrait appeler un « principe de précaution ».--Résumé de l'éditeur.

Book excerpt: In an ere as morally confused as ours, Stoner argues, we at least ought to know what we've abandoned or suppressed in the name of judicial activism and the modern rights-oriented Constitution. Having lost our way, perhaps the common law, in its original sense, provides a way back, a viable alternative to the debilitating relativism of our current age.

Download or read book Louisiana Property Law written by John A. Lovett and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Louisiana Property Law: The Civil Code, Cases, and Commentary is the first new case book in its field in more than a generation. Authored by three experienced scholars from Louisiana, this book presents classic and current cases in a rich contextual setting informed by contemporary property scholarship from the United States and abroad. After introducing the origins and sources of Louisiana property law, each chapter situates Louisiana property jurisprudence in its codal and doctrinal context. In addition to explaining the history, structure, and meaning of relevant provisions of the Louisiana Civil Code and ancillary statutes, the book introduces readers to property texts from mixed jurisdictions such as Québec, South Africa, and Scotland, and compares Louisiana and common law property institutions. In light of this comparative approach, the book will appeal to scholars interested in alternative regulatory models for the law of property. Specific topics include: Sources of Louisiana Property Law (Chapter 1); Ownership, Real Rights, and the Right to Exclude (Chapter 2); The Division of Things (Chapter 3); Classification of Things--Of Movables and Immovables, Corporeals and Incorporeals (Chapter 4); Voluntary Transfers of Ownership (Chapter 5); Accession (Chapter 6); Acquisition of Ownership through Occupancy (Chapter 7); Possession and the Possessory Action (Chapter 8); Acquisitive Prescription with Respect to Immovables (Chapter 9); Vindicating Ownership through Real Actions (Chapter 10); Co-Ownership (Chapter 11); Usufruct (Chapter 12); Natural and Legal Servitudes (Chapter 13); Conventional Predial Servitudes (Chapter 15); Limited Personal Servitudes--Habitation and Right of Use (Chapter 15); and Building Restrictions (Chapters 16).
Download or read book Common Law Civil Law and Colonial Law written by William Eves and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-04-15 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Common Law, Civil Law, and Colonial Law builds upon the legal historian F.W. Maitland's famous observation that history involves comparison, and that those who ignore every system but their own 'hardly came in sight of the idea of legal history'. The extensive introduction addresses the intellectual challenges posed by comparative approaches to legal history. This is followed by twelve essays derived from papers delivered at the 24th British Legal History Conference. These essays explore patterns in legal norms, processes, and practice across an exceptionally broad chronological and geographical range. Carefully selected to provide a network of inter-connections, they contribute to our better understanding of legal history by combining depth of analysis with historical contextualization. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage propose une étude du système juridique des Etats-Unis, à la fois représentatif de la tradition de Common Law, et atypique dans son évolution et son fonctionnement. Dans une perspective historique, la première partie propose une étude approfondie de la Common Law à travers le droit britannique dont elle est issue. La deuxième partie est ensuite consacrée à une analyse des principes fondamentaux du système juridique américain : les sources du droit, les tribunaux, et notamment les particularités liées à sa structure fédérale. Enfin, la troisième partie aborde l'essence même de ce système en exposant les craintes des Américains à l'égard de leur propre gouvernement fédéral, et les protections constitutionnelles visant à les apaiser. Les lecteurs sont invités à se mettre à la place des juristes anglo-américains, en partageant leur langue, leur mode de réflexion et leurs techniques, pour résoudre les questions juridiques proposées. L'étudiant et le praticien trouveront dans cet HyperCours un outil de référence autant qu'une analyse permettant de saisir la culture juridique et la mentalité américaine bien différente de la conception romano-civiliste du droit français. Selon le principe de la collection, le cours est suivi de compléments pédagogiques pour vérifier et renforcer les acquis et se préparer aux examens.

Download or read book An Index to Common Law Festschriften written by Michael Taggart and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2006-09-01 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first ever index of contributions to common law Festschriften and fills a serious bibliographic gap in the literature of the common law. The German word Festschrift is now the universally accepted term in the academy for a published collection of legal essays written by several authors to honour a distinguished jurist or to mark a significant legal event. The number of Festschriften honouring common lawyers has increased enormously in the last thirty years. Until now, the numerous scholarly contributions to these volumes have not been adequately indexed. This Index fills that bibliographic gap. The entries included in this work refer to some 296 common law Festschriften indexed by author, subject keyword, editor, title, honorand and date. It therefore includes over 5,000 chapter entries. In addition, there are more than a thousand entries of English language contributions to predominantly foreign language, non-common law legal Festschriften from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.
