Our friends in Germany have asked us to share the following announcement. #RomanLaw
The centre for legal history is delighted to learn that our colleague, Professor John W Cairns, will receive an honorary doctorate from The University of Glasgow this summer. gla.ac.uk/news/headline_… Huzzah!
@legalstyleblog English law is more "Roman" than one might suppose, since both jurisdictions developed through forms of action. E.g. Roman had a plural law of delicts. It's the scholar-driven civil law that is different. But if an English uni can do French law it can definitely do Scots law.
This is me! Excited to get into the weeds about adoption, potestas and the controversial ius vitaenecisque :)

Roman law lecture: I mentioned that The Receipt of the Undue sounded like a horror movie, but no one laughed.
Out now! A Masferrer, CH van Rhee, SP Donlan, and C Heesters (eds), A Companion to Western Legal Traditions: From Antiquity to the Twentieth Century (Brill, 2023). See brill.com/display/title/…

Superb Roman law reasoning. A Swedish man froze his dead wife but continued to use the freezer. The prosecutor says "the tomb was violated" every time he opened and closed the door. [Ulpian: only if he did it dolo malo.] foxnews.com/world/man-bust…
“Law’s closest neighbours are not the social sciences. They are, rather, the other esteemed disciplines in which meaning is derived from and ascribed to texts—history, above all, followed by philosophy and literature.” -Adam Tomkins lawliberty.org/forum/bleak-ho…

A very interesting wee piece on the utility of traditio incertae personae ('delivery to uncertain persons') in Scots law: it goes without saying that this is the sort of scholarship I love to see!

Alarmingly, I get law students making comments like this. If they go into private practice and they cannot give the essentials of an answer to basic client questions in their field without looking them up in a book, they will not last.
Bring back traditional exams. Three hours; four essays; closed book. You, your pen, and your mind staring the examiner down. I don't accept the ridiculous argument that "in real life you can look things up". In real life you'd look like an idiot if you looked basic things up.
The Jonathan Scots-actio iniuriarum mafia strengthens itself further. We now just need to get @LawHardman to join our ranks...
@SartorialOrator Dr Jonathan Ainslie (@JSAinslie) offers some thoughts on whether the actio iniuriarum may offer a means to protect privacy (and Article 8 ECHR rights) in Scots law, making reference to South African law to do so.
Congratulations @mariaithurria. We are so proud of you.
Congratulations to our newest PhD Maria Ithurria Benavente who successfully defended her thesis today. Many thanks to @HusaJaakko and Laura Macgregor for the robust examination. @UoELawPGR @mariaithurria
Advance copy of this just landed on my desk. Absolutely delighted with it, as I hope readers will be too. Official publication date 16 November 2023 (Birlinn).
Some very kind words about my article on Slavery, Servitude and Scots Law from 2020. If you haven't already, give it a read - it's not just me saying that, the work comes with glowing references!
It is a work of profound beauty and equally profound scholarship on slavery and the legal ideas of movable properties.pure.strath.ac.uk/ws/portalfiles… @glasgow_sugar . Thank you.
@RomanLegalTrad Great and far-sighted article by Adam Tomkins that aptly emphasizes the relative autonomy of law! In addition to history, I would also mention our sister, the philology, which, at least historically, has an even closer connection to jurisprudence.

Good morning to all those getting ready for today’s graduation @UofGLaw. I’m always excited (and nervous!) about graduation but this time more than ever. It’s been a long time since so many of us have been together in the same place. Hope everyone has a happy day.
A quarter of a century since John Cairns's splendid history of the Civilist chair at Aberdeen in the 18thC, I am visiting the uni's special collections centre tomorrow to look over many of the same materials he drew on, for a short booklet about the history of the Law School.
