Rules of the House examines the transformation of the Korean family during and after Japanese colonial rule. Through in-depth reading of civil litigation records, the book shows how the Japanese colonial legal system transformed Korean families from the traditional patrilineal family system into small, patriarchal households. The new domestic pattern proved remarkably durable, forming the basis of postcolonial family life. Women feature prominently in the book. Increasingly marginalized by patriarchy, women embodied the fault line between one family system as it receded and the other as it expanded under the auspices of Japanese colonial law. As a consequence, women's rights to family property, inheritance, divorce, and adoption of heirs were frequently challenged by family members. Far from being quiet victims, these women brought their cases to the colonial courts and won a surprising number of cases. The book highlights how legal discourse about women's rights in colonial civil courts articulated the transformation of the family.

Die Frage nach der Verbindlichkeit des Rechts, die Frage also, ob dem Recht über seine äußere Zwangsgewalt hinaus eine verpflichtende Kraft zukomme, versteht sich nicht von selbst. Hat der aus der Trennung von Recht und Moral entspringende Rechtspositivismus doch zu der These geführt, daß das Recht – rein rechtlich betrachtet – zu nichts verpflichte. Das widerspricht allerdings den vorherrschenden sozialen Anschauungen. Sie verlangen folglich nach einer Begründung für den dem Recht zugeschriebenen Anspruch verbindlicher Maßgeblichkeit. Demgemäß ranken sich um die Idee solcher Normativität des Rechts Vorstellungen, Bilder und Begriffe, die eine innere Bindung durch Recht plausibel zu machen suchen. Es wird gezeigt, daß sich diese Konnotationen der Idee der Rechtsverbindlichkeit auf drei Grundfiguren zurückführen lassen, die der Grammatik der persönlichen Fürwörter korrespondieren.Der Autor ist Professor für Öffentliches Recht, Rechts- und Staatsphilosophie an der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.

Numerous issues face Pacific states trying to find their way in the early 21st century. Countries are striving to secure the benefits of modernisation. Governance, law and order are needed to reach such a goal, but development cannot be at the price of culture or the environment. The question of how to develop and maintain sound legal systems and legal rules whilst maintaining the unique cultural heritages within the Pacific is a challenge with no easy answer. This interdisciplinary collection locates issues of law and governance within the particular socio-political context of the Pacific island region, presenting sociological, anthropological and political insights alongside jurisprudential analysis. Key issues including corruption, the role of customary law in modern legal systems, the place of human rights in the Pacific, environmental issues and the structure of the state are explored from a variety of perspectives.

La réserve héréditaire ne choisit pas entre la dévolution testamentaire et la dévolution légale, ce qui la rend « d’analyse difficile » (Michel Grimaldi). On oppose souvent sa fonction familiale, la protection des proches, à sa fonction individuelle, assurer un équilibre entre les parts échues à chaque héritier. Ces observations mettent en évidence l’ambiguïté de cette institution, fruit du compromis opéré par les rédacteurs du Code civil entre la légitime des pays de droit écrit et la réserve des pays de coutumes. Mais cette rencontre entre les deux protections successorales en vigueur sous l’ancien droit n’est pas seulement le fait du Code civil. Elle remonte à l’adoption de la légitime par quelques coutumes au moment de leur rédaction officielle au xvie siècle. Entre le xvie et le xviiie siècle, le recours à la légitime se généralise en pays de coutumes. Elle s’adapte à la logique successorale de la réserve, tout en la transformant. La légitime coutumière devient alors une institution d’équilibre, tenant à la fois de la légitime romaine et de la réserve, où les rédacteurs du Code civil pourront trouver une synthèse originale des différentes traditions successorales de la France. Partant de la rédaction officielle des coutumes au xvie siècle, ce travail étudie l’arrivée progressive de la légitime en pays de coutumes, puis son évolution au contact de la réserve, jusqu’à sa consécration par le Code civil sous le nom de réserve héréditaire.

Although customary international law (CIL) has been central to international law from its inception, it is often misunderstood. This edited volume remedies that problem by tracing the history of CIL and provides an in-depth study of its theory, practice, and interpretation. Its chapters tackle the big questions which surround this source of international law such as: what are the rules that regulate the functioning of CIL as a source of international law? Can CIL be interpreted? Where do lines between identification, interpretation, application, and modification of a rule of CIL lie? Using recent developments, this volume revisits old debates and resolves them by proffering new and innovative solutions. With detailed examples from international and national courts, it places CIL in a range of settings to explain, explore and reflect upon this developing and highly significant field. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Una larga tradición que concierne tanto a la historia del derecho y a la antropología, como a la historia social, ha hecho de la costumbre el ámbito de expresión de un derecho auténtico, encarnado en la memoria popular y en las antípodas, por tanto, de la legalidad estatal. Los medievalistas no han estado al margen de estas elaboraciones; muy por el contrario, han considerado con frecuencia que la Edad Media fue el escenario ideal para el despliegue de la costumbre como ‘voz intacta de lo real’, como derecho arraigado en la mentalidad campesina que oponía resistencia al derecho ‘oficial’. El objetivo general de este libro es realizar una crítica a estas interpretaciones románticas sobre la costumbre poniendo el foco en la naturaleza jurídica que este concepto poseía en las fuentes jurídicas medievales. Lejos de ser pensado como naciendo de las prácticas ancestrales el derecho consuetudinario es abordado en esta investigación como concepto-objeto estrictamente jurídico utilizado en textos forales y en conflictos medievales como argumento legalmente válido.
