Legal Pluralism, Arbitration, and State Formation: The Rise and Fall of Philadelphia's Quaker Court, 1682–1772 法律多元化、仲裁和国家形成:1682-1772年费城贵格会法庭的兴衰

Abstract Legal centralization in British America was characterized by the passing of arbitration from the community level to the colonial courts. As a consequence, when the 1765 Stamp Act raised the cost of court business, colonists were at a loss for alternatives. This paper addresses the question of why, at this point, colonists did not return to earlier, non-state forms of arbitration. It offers an explanation by providing a detailed empirical study of an alternative American legal forum: the Philadelphia Quaker monthly meeting. While busy arbitrating disputes in the early colonial period, it declined from around 1720. Contrary to what might be expected, this decline was not the consequence of state efforts to marginalize competing institutions. Rather, the local Quaker population abandoned their community legal forum in favor of the public courts. This was likely due to the Quaker court's reliance on reputation-based instruments for enforcement. As Philadelphia's population grew, the meeting's practice of pressuring culprits into compliance through public shaming lost its edge. Accordingly, Friends moved their legal business to the public courts. The paper contributes to the debates on the legal pluralism of empires, the history of arbitration, and state formation in the Atlantic.
英属美洲法律集中化的特点是仲裁从社区一级转移到殖民地法院。因此,当1765年《印花税法案》提高了宫廷事务的成本时,殖民地居民不知所措。这篇论文解决了为什么殖民者没有回到早期的非国家形式的仲裁的问题。它通过对另一种美国法律论坛——费城贵格会每月例会——进行详细的实证研究,提供了一种解释。虽然在早期殖民时期忙于仲裁纠纷,但从1720年左右开始衰落。与人们的预期相反,这种衰落并不是国家努力边缘化竞争机构的结果。相反,当地的贵格会教徒放弃了他们的社区法律论坛,转而支持公共法院。这可能是由于贵格会法院依赖以声誉为基础的执行工具。随着费城人口的增长,会议通过公开羞辱迫使罪犯服从的做法失去了优势。因此,Friends将他们的合法业务转移到公共法院。这篇论文对帝国的法律多元化、仲裁的历史和大西洋国家形成的辩论做出了贡献。

Free Black Witnesses in the Antebellum Upper South 南北战争前南方北部的自由黑人见证人

Abstract While every slave state except Louisiana limited free Black testimony in cases involving whites, and most barred it completely, several jurisdictions with slavery, including three in the Upper South—Delaware, Maryland, and D.C.—allowed at least some free Black testimony in cases involving whites at least some of the time. Historians and legal scholars have largely overlooked the phenomenon of free Black testimony in the South, outside of Louisiana. In this article, I argue that courts in the Upper South allowed some free Black testimony in cases involving whites in part because allowing (limited) Black testimony enabled courts to access the truth (slightly) more freely, thereby increasing the law's legitimacy. The exceptions to the general bar against Black testimony in cases involving whites also demonstrate the diversity of legal trends in the antebellum Upper South. In Maryland, the space for free Black testimony shrank. In D.C. and Delaware, it grew. But Southerners long contested the relationship between race and law. Competing pressures to administer a well-functioning legal system and to maintain racial hierarchy exerted force on the white elite. Southern elites, even before the great convulsion of the Civil War, sometimes divided on how best to administer a white supremacist legal regime.
除路易斯安那州外,所有实行奴隶制的州都限制黑人在涉及白人的案件中自由作证,而且大多数州完全禁止,而一些实行奴隶制的司法管辖区,包括南上州的三个州——特拉华州、马里兰州和华盛顿特区,在涉及白人的案件中至少在某些时候允许黑人自由作证。历史学家和法律学者在很大程度上忽视了路易斯安那州以外南方黑人自由作证的现象。在这篇文章中,我认为上南方的法院在涉及白人的案件中允许一些免费的黑人证词,部分原因是允许(有限的)黑人证词使法院能够(稍微)更自由地了解真相,从而增加法律的合法性。在涉及白人的案件中,一般禁止黑人作证的例外也显示了南北战争前南部北部法律趋势的多样性。在马里兰州,黑人免费作证的空间缩小了。在华盛顿特区和特拉华州,它增长了。但南方人长期以来一直对种族与法律之间的关系提出质疑。管理一个运作良好的法律体系和维持种族等级制度的竞争压力对白人精英施加了压力。甚至在南北战争的大动荡之前,南方的精英们有时就如何最好地管理一个白人至上主义的法律制度存在分歧。

“Let the Commander Respond”: The Paradox of Obedience in the Imperial Japanese Armed Forces “让指挥官回应”:日本帝国武装部队服从的悖论

Abstract Between 1870 and 1945, the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy provided uniquely broad legal protection to subordinates who perpetrated crimes under the orders of military superiors. Legal immunity was provided not only to soldiers who obeyed orders contrary to international law, but also to those who under orders violated domestic standing legislation of the Japanese Army. This gave rise to a so-called “paradox of obedience”: while disobedience among officers was rampant, their subordinates were expected to unquestionably obey their orders, even in rebellion against the Japanese government. This mix of blatant disobedience to the system at large on the one hand, and blind obedience to immediate superiors on the other, was a remarkable feature of the Imperial Japanese armed forces. Drawing on legal codes, court cases and juridic writings, we analyze how this “paradox of obedience” encouraged mutinies as well as atrocities, especially in the 1930s and during the Asia-Pacific War.
1870年至1945年间,日本帝国陆军和海军对在上级军事命令下犯罪的下属提供了独特的广泛的法律保护。法律豁免不仅提供给遵守违反国际法命令的士兵,而且也提供给那些根据命令违反日本军队国内常备立法的士兵。这就产生了所谓的“服从悖论”:虽然军官之间的不服从行为猖獗,但他们的下属却被期望毫无疑问地服从他们的命令,即使是反抗日本政府。一方面公然违抗整个体制,另一方面又盲目服从直接上级,这是日本帝国武装部队的一个显著特征。借助法典、法庭案例和司法著作,我们分析了这种“服从悖论”是如何鼓励兵变和暴行的,尤其是在20世纪30年代和亚太战争期间。

Why did Latin America Lose Faith in the Law? 拉丁美洲为何对法律失去信心?

Abstract Colonial Latin America had the fame of being a land where lower-class people were forever suing their betters. To Latin America's popular classes, the law was an indispensable instrument for claiming rights, solving conflicts, and advancing interests. Fast-forward to the middle of the twentieth century, however, and Latin American law held a very different fame. The law was now something to be shunned. It was seen as an instrument of power, manipulated by the rich and influential. Public trust in the law was low, and support for alternative forms of justice, high. In comparison with the colonial era, we are faced with a baffling reversal. This article seeks to explain that reversal by elaborating three propositions: (P1) popular trust in the law declined because of the law's increasing formalism, particularly evident in the codification of civil and criminal law over the course of the nineteenth century; (P2) popular trust in the law declined because of the rise of patrimonial capitalism over the period of study; and (P3) popular trust in the law declined because a new generation of social rights became politicized, first under populist, corporatist regimes that arose in the region in the early and mid-twentieth century and then under the region's Cold-War military dictatorships.
殖民时期的拉丁美洲以下层阶级永远向比他们优越的人诉苦而闻名。对于拉丁美洲的大众阶级来说,法律是主张权利、解决冲突和促进利益的不可或缺的工具。然而,快进到二十世纪中叶,拉丁美洲的法律有着非常不同的名声。现在法律成了人们避之不及的东西。它被视为权力的工具,被富人和有影响力的人操纵。公众对法律的信任度很低,而对其他司法形式的支持却很高。与殖民时代相比,我们面临着令人困惑的逆转。本文试图通过阐述三个命题来解释这种逆转:(P1)公众对法律的信任下降是因为法律的形式主义日益增加,特别是在19世纪民法和刑法的编纂过程中;(P2)在研究期间,由于世袭资本主义的兴起,公众对法律的信任有所下降;民众对法律的信任度下降是因为新一代的社会权利被政治化了,首先是在20世纪早期和中期出现在该地区的民粹主义、社团主义政权下,然后是在该地区冷战时期的军事独裁统治下。

The Medico-Legalization of Sex in the Nineteenth-Century United States 19世纪美国性的医学合法化

The rising field of medical jurisprudence in common law from late eighteenth century has led to a rearrangement of authority and epistemic power between lay and expert witnesses, in favor of the latter. Although the law had long relied on testimony from members of the community to establish the legal fact of a person's sex, the legal procedure of fact-making started to rely instead on the opinions of doctors, surgeons, and medical practitioners. This article closely reads medical jurisprudence books, U.S. case law, and U.S. newspapers from the nineteenth century to describe this expansion of medical experts’ authority to establish the legal fact of sex in vague cases. The article describes the spread of medico-legal technics of sex classification in three arenas of U.S. law: the law of marriage and divorce, cross-dressing, and defamation. The practice of legal sex classification was thus absorbed into medical expertise, and the meaning of sex in the law transformed from a socio-physical construct to a medical one. The mid-nineteenth-century decline of medical jurisprudence subsequently pushed the practice of sex classification outside the realm of law and into the jurisdiction of the medical profession, thus leaving sex classification mainly to doctors.
18世纪后期普通法医学法学领域的兴起,导致了非专业证人和专家证人之间的权威和知识权力的重新安排,有利于后者。尽管法律长期以来依赖于社区成员的证词来确定一个人的性别的法律事实,但制定事实的法律程序开始依赖于医生、外科医生和医疗从业人员的意见。本文仔细阅读了19世纪以来的医学法学书籍、美国判例法和美国报纸,描述了医学专家在模糊案件中确立性法律事实的权力的扩大。本文描述了性别分类的医学法律技术在美国法律的三个领域的传播:婚姻和离婚法、异性扮装法、诽谤法。因此,法律性别分类的做法被纳入医学专业知识,法律中性别的含义从社会-身体结构转变为医学结构。19世纪中期医学法学的衰落随后将性别分类的实践推到了法律领域之外,进入了医学专业的管辖范围,从而将性别分类主要留给了医生。

Beyond “Death Do Us Part”: Spousal Intestate Succession in Nineteenth-Century Hispanic America 超越“死亡让我们分离”:19世纪西班牙裔美国人的配偶无遗嘱继承

In colonial Hispanic America, widows and widowers were in an unfavorable position if their spouse died without a will, only inheriting from them if the deceased left no blood relatives to the 10th degree of kinship. This article examines the extent to which the intestate position of the surviving spouse improved in the new civil codes of the sixteen republics, and how their approaches were influenced by the circulation of ideas. It finds that in all except one the spouse came to be favored over the extended family. If the deceased left children, two approaches developed with respect to the inclusion of spouses: where they obtained an unconditional right to an inheritance share equal to a child, and where their inheriting depended on their relative poverty or need. These reforms took place in concert with the rise of the centrality of the conjugal unit as the focus of affection, loyalty, and responsibilities, and prior to such reforms in Europe. The countries that went furthest in elevating the position of spouses, Venezuela and Argentina, were those most deeply influenced by the ideas and changes fostered by liberalism.
在殖民地的西班牙裔美国,如果配偶在没有遗嘱的情况下去世,寡妇和鳏夫将处于不利地位,只有在死者没有留下10级血亲的情况下才能继承。本文考察了在十六个共和国的新民法典中,未亡配偶的无遗嘱地位在多大程度上得到了改善,以及他们的做法是如何受到思想传播的影响的。研究发现,除一人外,其他所有人的配偶都比大家庭更受青睐。如果死者留下子女,则在纳入配偶方面发展了两种方法:一是他们获得与子女同等的无条件继承份额的权利,二是他们的继承取决于他们的相对贫困或需要。这些改革与婚姻单位作为情感、忠诚和责任焦点的中心地位的上升相一致,并且在欧洲进行此类改革之前。委内瑞拉和阿根廷是在提升配偶地位方面走得最远的国家,它们深受自由主义所倡导的思想和变革的影响。

The countries that went furthest in elevating the position of spouses, Venezuela and Argentina, were those most deeply influenced by the ideas and changes fostered by liberalism.","PeriodicalId":17960,"journal":{"name":"Law and History Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43379049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article focuses on the movement to reform legal education in early national Virginia, offering a fresh perspective by examining the connection between legal education and society and culture. It challenges the notion that constitutional ideas were the primary driving force behind reforms and argues that social status and “manners” played a more significant role. Wealthy elites in Virginia associated manners with education, sending their sons to college to become gentlemen, as it secured their aspirations to gentility and their influence over society and politics. Reformers sought to capitalize on this connection by educating a generation of university-trained, genteel lawyers who could lead the state's legislature and its courts. In this sense, educational reform was genteel rather than democratic in its basic assumptions. The article examines the central figure of George Wythe and explores his influence on Virginia's leading men, including Thomas Jefferson and St. George Tucker. It delves into the student experience in Wythe's law office and at the College of William and Mary, the success of educational reforms in the central courts, and the effects on Virginia's constitutional development. The college-educated lawyers who came to dominate the legislature in the early nineteenth century used their training for politics. As these lawyers sought to strengthen the institutions their party controlled, they drove the development of constitutional doctrines like federalism and separation of powers.
本文聚焦于弗吉尼亚州早期的法律教育改革运动,通过考察法律教育与社会和文化之间的联系,提供了一个新的视角。它挑战了宪法思想是改革背后主要驱动力的观点,并认为社会地位和“礼仪”发挥了更重要的作用。弗吉尼亚州的富裕精英将礼仪与教育联系在一起,送儿子上大学成为绅士,因为这确保了他们对绅士风度的渴望以及他们对社会和政治的影响力。改革者试图利用这种联系,培养出一代受过大学训练、有教养的律师,他们可以领导该州的立法机构和法院。从这个意义上说,教育改革在其基本假设中是绅士的,而不是民主的。本文考察了乔治·怀斯的中心人物,并探讨了他对弗吉尼亚州的领军人物,包括托马斯·杰斐逊和圣乔治·塔克的影响。它深入探讨了学生在Wythe律师事务所和威廉玛丽学院的经历,中央法院教育改革的成功,以及对弗吉尼亚州宪法发展的影响。受过大学教育的律师在19世纪初开始主导立法机构,他们将自己的训练用于政治。当这些律师试图加强他们政党控制的机构时,他们推动了联邦制和分权等宪法学说的发展。
