In forma pauperis: Indentured Servitude, the Right to Counsel, and White Citizenship in the Seventeenth-Century Chesapeake 形式上的贫民:17世纪切萨皮克的契约奴隶、律师权利和白人公民权

Abstract Indentured servitude was an exploitative form of coerced labor in England’s American colonies, but indentured servants were expected to join settler society after completing their terms of indenture, and they possessed clearly defined legal rights and protections in both English and colonial laws, even during their period of servitude. The masters and mistresses of indentured servants sometimes engaged in physical abuse and contractual fraud, but servants could sue their masters or mistresses in court without owing fees, a status termed in forma pauperis. Courts facilitated servant lawsuits and heeded procedural fairness, bringing in compensated witnesses, searching archival records, and even providing pro bono lawyers. It appears that most servants won their cases against their masters and mistresses, obtaining their freedom, their withheld freedom dues, or reimbursement for overlong terms of servitude. Indentured servants’ lawyers affirmed that their clients were rights-bearing members of society, persuasively utilizing terms such as ‘justice’ and ‘equity’ to represent their cases. The access of servants to legal recourse, the courts’ commitment to ensure due process and legal representation, and the frequent victories of servants over their masters demonstrated that indentured servants were regarded as valued members of colonial society in the Chesapeake, and in other colonial regions. Unlike enslaved people, who possessed neither legal rights nor access to the courts, white indentured servants possessed inherent, though limited, rights of freeborn subjects, even if from disenfranchised groups, such as women, children, or those of Irish origin. The legal and social distinctions between servitude and slavery began arising half a century before Bacon’s Rebellion in the 1670s, which is conventionally assumed to be a watershed event in the division between indentured servitude and slavery. The affirmation of the rights of indentured servants developed in parallel with the growth of slavery, and contributed to developing ideals of white citizenship.
契约劳役是英属美洲殖民地强制劳动的一种剥削形式,但契约佣工在完成契约条款后被期望加入定居者社会,即使在其被奴役期间,他们在英国和殖民地法律中都拥有明确界定的合法权利和保护。契约仆人的主人和女主人有时会进行身体虐待和合同欺诈,但仆人可以在法庭上起诉他们的主人或女主人,而无需支付费用,这种状态被称为形式贫民。法院为仆人诉讼提供便利,注重程序公平,引入有偿证人,检索档案记录,甚至提供无偿律师。似乎大多数仆人都赢得了对主人和女主人的诉讼,获得了自由,获得了被扣留的自由费,或获得了长期奴役的补偿。契约劳工的律师肯定他们的当事人是拥有权利的社会成员,有说服力地使用“正义”和“公平”等术语来代表他们的案件。仆人获得法律追索权,法院承诺确保正当程序和法律代表,以及仆人对主人的频繁胜利表明,契约仆人在切萨皮克和其他殖民地地区被视为殖民地社会的重要成员。与既没有合法权利也没有诉诸法庭的奴隶不同,白人契约仆役拥有与生俱来的自由臣民的权利,尽管这种权利是有限的,即使是来自被剥夺公民权的群体,如妇女、儿童或爱尔兰裔。在17世纪70年代培根起义之前的半个世纪,奴隶制和奴役之间的法律和社会区别就已经出现了,这通常被认为是契约制奴役和奴隶制之间划分的分水岭事件。对契约仆人权利的肯定与奴隶制的发展同步发展,并促进了白人公民理想的发展。

International Legacies of a Century and a Half of the Case Method 一个半世纪以来案例方法的国际遗产

Abstract Save the Constitution, the United States’s most famous legal export may well be the case method. This article pieces together the story of how CC Langdell’s brainchild was brought to the rest of the common law world in treading the momentous events and geopolitics of the last century and a half, and reflects on the lessons from this global experiment for the present and future of the case method. After initially attracting little attention overseas, the rise of the case method encountered its watershed in the post-war period. From then on, the method’s further expansion branched into two narratives: one in the Western world and the other in the former British African, Asian, and Caribbean colonies. The overseas experiments with the case method yielded some durable successes and cast a light on its singular ability to adapt to widely different environments. But mostly the picture is one of mixed results, especially outside the Western world, owing to a failure to devise an educational program adapted to the varying local circumstances. As with law itself, the teaching of law is inextricably tied to local idiosyncrasies and world politics, thus making the future of the case method as difficult to predict as it would have been for Langdell and his contemporaries. Today’s different national and international contexts from that of 1945 represent an opportunity to reassess the merits of the case method in our more mature legal and educational environments, freed from colonial and neocolonial agendas.
摘要挽救宪法,美国最著名的法律输出很可能是判例法。这篇文章将CC Langdell的智慧结晶如何在过去一个半世纪的重大事件和地缘政治中被带到普通法世界的其他地方的故事拼凑在一起,并反思了这个全球实验对案例方法的现在和未来的教训。案例方法的兴起最初在海外不受关注,但在战后遇到了分水岭。从那时起,这种方法的进一步扩展分为两种叙述:一种是在西方世界,另一种是在前英国的非洲、亚洲和加勒比殖民地。案例教学法在海外的试验取得了一些持久的成功,并揭示了其适应广泛不同环境的独特能力。但大多数情况下,由于未能设计出适应当地不同情况的教育计划,结果喜忧参半,尤其是在西方世界之外。就法律本身而言,法律教学与地方特质和世界政治密不可分,因此使得案例方法的未来很难预测,就像朗德尔和他同时代的人一样。今天与1945年不同的国家和国际环境为我们提供了一个机会,可以在我们更成熟的法律和教育环境中重新评估案例方法的优点,摆脱了殖民主义和新殖民主义议程。

Belief as Status: Premodern Islamic Law, Duties, and the Martyr Conundrum 信仰作为地位:前现代伊斯兰法律、义务和殉道者难题
Q2 LAW Pub Date : 2023-10-12 DOI: 10.1093/ajlh/njad022
Adnan A Zulfiqar
Abstract The normative universe of the premodern Islamic legal tradition revolves around duties. These duties are determined by an individual’s status both as an autonomous entity and as part of the collective. The duties one owes and those that one is owed, are primarily constructed around belief. Belief, and its absence, function as the primary vehicles for affirming or denying an individual’s place within the moral community. In the jurists discourse on warfare, during the fifth ah/eleventh ce and sixth ah/twelfth ce centuries, we find an illustrative example of how belief dictates the duties that must be performed. Who is obligated to fight, who must be fought, and what obligations are owed in death all depend, though not exclusively, on the belief status of the relevant actors. In the process jurists constructed status hierarchies based on belief and, as in the case of martyrs, negotiated a delicate balance between preserving the sacredness of belief status and accounting for the pragmatic requirements of the battlefield.
前现代伊斯兰法律传统的规范世界围绕着义务展开。这些责任是由个人作为一个自治实体和作为集体的一部分的地位决定的。一个人所欠的和别人所欠的责任,主要是围绕信念构建的。信仰,以及信仰的缺失,作为肯定或否定个人在道德共同体中的地位的主要工具。在公元前5世纪/ 11世纪和公元6世纪/ 12世纪的法学家关于战争的论述中,我们发现了一个说明性的例子,说明信仰如何规定了必须履行的义务。谁有义务战斗,谁必须战斗,死亡对谁负有什么义务,这些都取决于,但并非完全取决于相关行为者的信仰状况。在这个过程中,法学家根据信仰构建了地位等级,就像在烈士的案例中一样,他们在维护信仰地位的神圣性和考虑战场的实用需求之间达成了微妙的平衡。

Metics and Freedmen: Conflicts of Social and Juridical Status in the Classical and Hellenistic Greek World 米蒂亚人与自由民:古典与希腊化希腊世界社会与法律地位的冲突
Q2 LAW Pub Date : 2023-10-11 DOI: 10.1093/ajlh/njad020
Elizabeth A Meyer
Abstract Ancient Greek city-states, or poleis, had a bewildering number of terms for people who lived in them. In Athens, freedmen seem to be assimilated juridically to the status of metics (resident aliens), although socially there were ways of both denigrating freedmen and obscuring the distinction between metic and freed. Elsewhere we can see that under some circumstances distinctions between metic and freed were made, but not in ways that point to strong juridical differences. By looking at the development of both statuses historically, I propose that the juridical assimilation occurred in Athens because metic status was created first, in an historical context in which distinctions between citizens and foreigners was crucial: an imperial power with a strong economy was attracting many foreigners to the mother city. This line drawn between citizens and foreigners was expressed through the law in both the fifth and fourth centuries bce. But the social perception of metics changed in the fourth century, for historical reasons deriving from the assimilation of metics and freed into one category. Other areas of the Greek world with both metics and freedmen may have assimilated the two statuses initially, but over time split them apart.
古希腊城邦(poleis)对居住在其中的人的称呼多得令人眼花缭乱。在雅典,自由民似乎在法律上被同化为metics(外来居民)的身份,尽管在社会上有诋毁自由民和模糊metics和自由民之间区别的方法。在其他地方,我们可以看到,在某些情况下,“我的”和“自由的”之间的区别是存在的,但并不是在某种程度上指出强烈的法律差异。通过观察这两种身份的历史发展,我提出司法同化发生在雅典,因为memetic身份首先被创造出来,在一个历史背景下,公民和外国人之间的区别是至关重要的:一个拥有强大经济的皇权吸引了许多外国人到母城。在公元前5世纪和4世纪,公民和外国人之间的界限通过法律表达出来。但是在四世纪,由于历史的原因,社会对计量学的看法发生了变化,这源于计量学的同化,并被解放为一个类别。希腊世界的其他地区,既有米提克人也有自由民,最初可能吸收了这两种身份,但随着时间的推移,它们被分开了。

The Matter of Personae in Medieval Italy 中世纪意大利的人格问题
Q2 LAW Pub Date : 2023-10-11 DOI: 10.1093/ajlh/njad021
Melissa Vise
Abstract This article hunts for the medieval understanding of juridical persona in the courtrooms of communal Italy (c.1250–1450). While corporate personae have been the long-favored subject of inquiry for both medieval and modern scholars, the ontological predecessor of the corporate persona, the juridical persona, remains undertheorized. The gap is surprising given that (i) the concept is central to other formative legal notions of standing, status, and identity and (ii) medieval legal practice’s erstwhile penchant was to gloss and re-gloss every word of its central texts. By considering cases of gestural blasphemy brought before both civic and ecclesiastical courts, this article discovers the multiple and context-specific meanings for persona at law. These shifting definitions hover around a theological impossibility: a material quality to divine persons that could render them subject to injury and defendable in court. I contend that the legal utility of the term persona rested in its ability to bridge conceptual gaps like that created in the prosecution of blasphemy. Persona was left definitionally both one and many for good legal reason.
摘要:本文探讨了意大利公社法庭(约1250 - 1450)中对司法人格的中世纪理解。虽然公司人格一直是中世纪和现代学者青睐的研究主题,但公司人格的本体论前身,即法律人格,仍未被理论化。这一差距令人惊讶,因为(i)这一概念是其他形成性法律概念(地位、地位和身份)的核心,(ii)中世纪法律实践过去的倾向是对其核心文本的每一个字进行润色和重新润色。本文通过对公民法院和教会法院提起的手势亵渎案件的研究,发现了人格在法律上的多重和具体的意义。这些不断变化的定义围绕着一种神学上的不可能性:一种神圣人物的物质特质,可能使他们受到伤害,并在法庭上为自己辩护。我认为,“人格”一词的法律效用在于它能够弥合概念上的差距,比如在起诉亵渎罪时产生的差距。出于良好的法律原因,Persona被定义为“一个”和“多个”。

Religious Endowments in Ancient India and the Institutionalization of Brahmin Caste Status 古印度的宗教禀赋与婆罗门种姓地位的制度化

Abstract Giving to worthy recipients has been meritorious public piety in India at least since the Mauryan empire. Most consequential were grants in perpetuity of land or capital as a ‘religious foundation’ for monks or Brahmins, conferred by means of a charter (śāsana). Grants to Brahmins typically created or supported an agrahāra, a residential enclave with attached farmland and villages, on terms analogous to those of grants to Buddhist or Jaina mendicants or monasteries. In these records (attested since the beginning of the Common Era), rulers cede their claims to certain normal obligations of subjects, such as tax revenue, compulsory labor, and billeting or provisions for officers of the state, and they often give the beneficiaries authority over internal legal administration. This article examines the implications of the fiscal and juridical autonomy conferred in such grants in providing state recognition and institutional support of Brahmins’ sacred status as a religious profession and a privileged caste.
在印度,至少自孔雀帝国以来,给予有价值的接受者一直是有功的公共虔诚。最重要的是永久授予土地或资本,作为僧侣或婆罗门的“宗教基础”,通过特许状授予(śāsana)。给婆罗门的补助金通常会创建或支持agrahāra,这是一个带有农田和村庄的居住飞地,类似于给佛教或耆那教乞丐或修道院的补助金。在这些记录中(自公元开始证实),统治者放弃了他们对臣民的某些正常义务的要求,如税收,强制劳动,为国家官员提供食宿或供应,他们经常赋予受益人在内部法律管理方面的权力。这篇文章考察了财政和司法自治权的含义,在这种授予中,婆罗门作为一个宗教职业和特权种姓的神圣地位得到了国家承认和制度支持。

Empire, Status, and the Law 帝国、地位和法律

Abstract One phase in the long history of Roman citizenship ended in 212 ce, when the emperor Caracalla granted citizenship to all free-born residents of the empire. This moment subsequently came to be understood as inevitable, as though the juridical unification of the world had been the project of empire all along—and virtually all subsequent European empires have been implicated in the legacy of that tradition. But the history of Roman citizenship is neither unitary nor continuous. This article interrogates processes of juridification in the relationship between citizenship and empire. Some of these concern the Roman citizen body itself, which on one reading was gradually transformed from a collective of self-ruling agents to a community of economic actors. Others concern the effects on alien political and religious communities of the appearance of Roman tribunals as courts of the second instance. The legacies of Roman citizenship in modern forms of subjectivity should be understood against this complex history.
罗马公民权漫长历史的一个阶段结束于公元212年,当时卡拉卡拉皇帝授予帝国所有自由出生的居民公民权。这一时刻后来被认为是不可避免的,就好像世界的司法统一一直是帝国的计划一样——实际上,后来所有的欧洲帝国都与这一传统的遗产有关。但是罗马公民权的历史既不是单一的,也不是连续的。本文探讨了公民权与帝国关系中的正当化过程。其中一些与罗马公民主体本身有关,从一种解读来看,罗马公民主体逐渐从一个自治主体的集体转变为一个经济主体的共同体。另一些则关注罗马法庭作为二审法院的出现对外来政治和宗教团体的影响。现代主体性形式下的罗马公民权的遗产应该对照这一复杂的历史来理解。
