Описание: This book shows laymen and professionals alike why America`s legal system, based on common law, fails to provide rules that people can apply themselves, and how sensible statute law works elsewhere. Its historical aspect shows that Americans wanted legislative-made statutes and its comparative aspect details how another legal system succeeds.

Описание:

Through an examination of five plays by Shakespeare, Paul Raffield analyses the contiguous development of common law and poetic drama during the first decade of Jacobean rule. The broad premise of The Art of Law in Shakespeare is that the 'artificial reason' of law was a complex art form that shared the same rhetorical strategy as the plays of Shakespeare.
Common law and Shakespearean drama of this period employed various aesthetic devices to capture the imagination and the emotional attachment of their respective audiences. Common law of the Jacobean era, as spoken in the law courts, learnt at the Inns of Court and recorded in the law reports, used imagery that would have been familiar to audiences of Shakespeare's plays. In its juridical form, English law was intrinsically dramatic, its adversarial mode of expression being founded on an agonistic model. Conversely, Shakespeare borrowed from the common law some of its most critical themes: justice, legitimacy, sovereignty, community, fairness, and (above all else) humanity.
Each chapter investigates a particular aspect of the common law, seen through the lens of a specific play by Shakespeare. Topics include the unprecedented significance of rhetorical skills to the practice and learning of common law (Love's Labour's Lost); the early modern treason trial as exemplar of the theatre of law (Macbeth); the art of law as the legitimate distillation of the law of nature (The Winter's Tale); the efforts of common lawyers to create an image of nationhood from both classical and Judeo-Christian mythography (Cymbeline); and the theatrical device of the island as microcosm of the Jacobean state and the project of imperial expansion (The Tempest).

Описание: This volume approaches international law as a professional activity practised by scholars, judges, counsels, and legal advisers. Its self-reflective essays provide insights into how a professional capacity may inform one`s views on international law and, conversely, how one`s international law discourse may impact the way the profession is exercised.

Simultaneously erudite and funny, The Art of Law in Shakespeare allows Raffield, himself actor and lawyer, scholar and gentleman, his proper role in both tracking and playing the part of a magistrate of wit." --Professor Peter Goodrich, Cardozo School of Law *** "Paul Raffield's fascinating and illuminating study of the legal issues explored by Shakespeare and his early Jacobean contemporaries is a major contribution to the burgeoning field of law and literature scholarship. Raffield's exploration of cultural history should be of interest to all those interested in early modern English culture." --Professor Barbara Shapiro, UC Berkeley Subject: Legal History, Shakespearean Studies, Literature, Law & Humanities]
