The legal history of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1857 is at the heart of the book. The Act had a transformative impact on English law and society by introducing a secular judicial system of civil divorce. This swept aside the old system of divorce that was only obtainable from the House of Lords and inadvertently led to the creation of the modern family justice system. The book argues that only through understanding the legal doctrine in its wider cultural, political, religious, and social context is it possible to fully analyse and assess the changes brought about by the Act. The major developments included the end of any pretence of the indissolubility of marriage, the statutory enshrinement of a double standard based on gender in the grounds for divorce, and the growth of divorce across all spectrums of English society. The Act was a product of political and legal compromise between conservative forces resisting the legal introduction of civil divorce and the reformers, who demanded married women receive equal access to the grounds of divorce. Changing attitudes towards divorce that began in the Edwardian period led to a gradual rejection of Victorian moral values and the repeal of the Act after 80 years of existence in the Interwar years.   The book will be a valuable resource for academics and researchers with an interest in legal history, family law, and Victorian studies.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50697848488209,"sku":"NGR9780367420062","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51001500565777,"sku":"NIN9780367420062","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52144443883793,"sku":"NLS9780367420062","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0367420066.jpg?v=1751007002"},{"product_id":"league-of-nations-and-the-development-of-international-law-book-p-sean-morris-9781032065007","title":"The League of Nations and the Development of International Law","description":"This volume examines the contributions to International Law of individual members of the Advisory Committee of Jurists in the League of Nations, and the broader national and discursive legal traditions of which they were representative.

Applying an interdisciplinary and comparative methodology, the book offers a detailed reconstruction of the prosecution of the crimes of Fascism and the Italian Social Republic as well as crimes committed by Nazi soldiers against Italian civilians and those of the Italian army against foreign populations. It also explores the legal qualification and prosecution of the actions of the Resistance.

During the 19th century, Mauritius was Britain’s prime sugar-producing colony, yet, unlike the West Indies, its history has remained significantly under-researched. The modern demographic of multi-ethnic Mauritius is unusual as, in the absence of an indigenous people, descendants of colonists, slaves and indentured labourers constitute the majority of the island’s population today. Thus, it may be said that the Mauritian nation was \"assembled\" during the period in question. This work draws on an in-depth examination of the two labour systems through which the island came to be populated: slavery and indenture. In studying the relevant laws, four legal events of historical importance within the context of these two labour systems are identified: the abolition of the slave trade, the abolition of slavery, private indentured labour migration and state-regulated indenture. This book is notable in that it presents a legal analysis of core historical events, thus straddling the line between two disciplines, and covers both slavery and indentured labour in Mauritian history. Mauritius, as an originally uninhabited island, presents a rare case study for inquiries into colonial legacies, multiculturalism and race consciousness.

The work explores the development of the royal prerogative through the evolution of imperial government, and more recent structural changes in the United Kingdom and elsewhere in the Commonwealth. While examining specific prerogative powers, the development of justiciability of the prerogative, and the exercise of the prerogative, it lays bare the heart of constitutionality in the Westminster system of government. There is said to be a black hole of unaccountable authority at the heart of the constitution and it is this which this book examines. The focus is upon the constitutional development of the United Kingdom and the old dominions of Canada, Australia and New Zealand. This approach is comparative and historical, using specific case studies of such events as the dissolution of Parliament and the appointment and dismissal of Prime Ministers.

It explains how various groups interpreted Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution and utilized it to reinstate peace and tranquility. While Article 48 is usually associated with the so-called Preußenschlag—the taking over of the Prussian government by the order of Reich Chancellor Kurt von Papen—it had been introduced as a necessity during earlier “states of emergency.”  This investigation delves into the relevant works by many of the leading constitutional scholars in Germany. This list includes Hugo Preuss, Carl Schmitt, Hans Kelsen, Gerhard Anschütz, Richard Thoma, Erwin Jacobi, Hans Nawiasky, and Richard Grau. This book is a clearly written and detailed account of the history surrounding the debate about the appropriate emergency measures to be taken under Article 48. The work is important for its historical interest, and also because the conflict between authority and freedom has continuing relevance.

Between 1946 and 1948, it conducted seven seminal landmark trials involving 49 defendants, including notorious figures such as Arthur Greiser, Amon Goeth, Rudolf Hoess, and members of the Auschwitz staff. The Tribunal aimed to foreground the Polish experience within the international discourse on post-war justice, offering a judicial account of the suffering endured under Nazi occupation. Simultaneously, it illuminated the singularity of the Jewish tragedy, with some proceedings arguably constituting the earliest Holocaust trials. This monograph situates the Tribunal within the broader context of international criminal justice, with the Nuremberg Trial as its central reference point. Interwoven at multiple levels, these proceedings reflect a complex tapestry of legal responses to mass atrocity. Despite operating under the growing pressures of Stalinisation, the Tribunal retained a notable degree of independence and upheld elements of fair trial standards – rooted in the legal traditions of interwar Poland. Its jurisprudence may be considered an early contribution to the evolution of international criminal law, offering a distinct national perspective on international crimes within the wider legal and historical framework. The book will be an invaluable resource for academics and researchers working in the areas of Legal History, International and Criminal Law, History, Genocide Studies and Holocaust Research, International Relations, Criminology and Criminal Justice, War Crimes Trials, and Slavic and Eastern European Studies.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51750090014993,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51750090146065,"sku":"NGR9781041004721","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52772380672273,"sku":"NLS9781041004721","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53439866405137,"sku":"NIN9781041004721","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781041004721.jpg?v=1764065216"},{"product_id":"royal-prerogative-and-constitutional-law-book-noel-cox-9780367500795","title":"The Royal Prerogative and Constitutional Law","description":"This book examines the royal prerogative in terms of its theory, history and application today.   The work explores the development of the royal prerogative through the evolution of imperial government, and more recent structural changes in the United Kingdom and elsewhere in the Commonwealth. While examining specific prerogative powers, the development of justiciability of the prerogative, and the exercise of the prerogative, it lays bare the heart of constitutionality in the Westminster system of government. There is said to be a black hole of unaccountable authority at the heart of the constitution and it is this which this book examines. The focus is upon the constitutional development of the United Kingdom and the old dominions of Canada, Australia and New Zealand. This approach is comparative and historical, using specific case studies of such events as the dissolution of Parliament and the appointment and dismissal of Prime Ministers.   The book will be of interest to academics and researchers working in the areas of Constitutional Law and Politics.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52521277522193,"sku":"NLS9780367500795","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780367500795.jpg?v=1760569004"},{"product_id":"augustus-and-the-invention-of-public-law-book-jacob-giltaij-9781041247197","title":"Augustus and the Invention of Public Law","description":"This book argues that the most important and influential reform of the state was that done by the first emperor Augustus, turning the warring Roman republic into a relatively stable empire lasting 500 years in the West, and 1500 in the East. Not only was the scope incomparable to any ancient reform before or after, but the means were also novel: Augustus used the law of the day to effect crucial aspects of the reform as a whole. The book thus explores the reform of Augustus from a legal perspective. This means that, rather than the works of historians or poets, the legal texts handed down to us through a variety of ways are central. The study thereby provides new insight into a quintessential legal model for later empires. It also places the legal structure of the Roman empire in the intellectual context of Augustus in his own time. Finally, it reconstructs a Stoic theory of state as the basis of the reform. The book will be of interest to researchers working in the areas of Roman Law, Legal History, Legal Philosophy, History of Political Theory and Classical Studies.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52951367155985,"sku":"NGR9781041247197","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53468864643345,"sku":"NLS9781041247197","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53568513048849,"sku":"NIN9781041247197","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781041247197.jpg?v=1777371026"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/routledge-research-in-legal-history-book-series.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
