The Impact

Abstract During 2020, weddings were profoundly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. During periods of lockdown few weddings could take place, and even afterwards restrictions on how they could be celebrated remained. To investigate the impact of such restrictions, we carried out a survey of those whose plans to marry in England and Wales had been affected by Covid-19. The 1,449 responses we received illustrated that the ease and speed with which couples had been able to marry, and sometimes whether they had been able to marry at all, had depended not merely on the national restrictions in place but on their chosen route into marriage. This highlights the complexity and antiquity of marriage law and reinforces the need for reform. The restrictions on weddings taking place also revealed the extent to which couples valued getting married as opposed to having a wedding. Understanding both the social and the legal dimension of weddings is important in informing recommendations as to how the law should be changed in the future, not merely to deal with similar crises but also to ensure that the general law is fit for purpose in the twenty-first century.

New Nation

This chapter discusses the history of American frontier law. The new nation faced the problem of how to deal with the western lands. Some of the states had huge, vague, and vast claims to chunks of western land, stretching out far beyond the pale of settlement; other states did not. The Ordinance of 1787 dealt with the issue of governance and the future of the western lands. It set basic law for a huge area of forest and plain that became the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin. The Ordinance of 1790 extended the influence of the Northwest Ordinance into what became the state of Tennessee.

The Law

Despite a long history of ethnographic research on crime, ethnographers have shied away from examining the law as it relates to being present at, witnessing and recording illegal activity. However, knowledge of the law is an essential tool for researchers and the future of ethnographic research on crime. This article reviews the main relevant legal statutes in England and Wales and considers their relevance for contemporary ethnographic research. We report that researchers have no legal responsibility to report criminal activity (with some exceptions). The circumstances under which legal action could be taken to seize research data are specific and limited, and respondent’s privacy is subject to considerable legal protection. Our review gives considerable reason to be optimistic about the future of ethnographic research.

The School of German Law at the Jagellonian University in Cracow was established in 1997 as joint academic undertaking of the Law Faculties of the three Universities Ruprecht Karls- University (Heidelberg, Germany), Johannes Gutenberg-University (Mainz, Germany) and Jagellonian University (Cracow, Poland). The initiators and first directors of the School were Professor Kazimierz Lankosz (Cracow), Professor Horst Konzen (Mainz), and Professor Peter Hommelhoff (Heidelberg). The 5th anniversary of the School in 2002 provides a good opportunity to sum up the activity of the School until now and to ventilate some thoughts on the future plans for this innovative undertaking, which already had proven to have gone well beyond its original boundaries.

Over Time

ABSTRACT Congress created the tax-free exchange of like-kind property over 90 years ago and has since made several revisions to the law to prevent tax abuse and limit its application. However, the like-kind exchange rules, now governed by Section 1031, are expanding over time. In this article, we review the legislative history of Section 1031 and recently proposed changes to the law. In line with recent proposals, we recommend that Congress eliminate the special tax treatment granted to like-kind exchanges. However, in the event that Congress is unable or unwilling to make such a change, we also offer policy suggestions to limit current abuses of the like-kind provision relating to exchanges of investment property, the use of qualified intermediaries in non-simultaneous exchanges, and exchanges involving dual-use property.

This chapter explores the history of the three regions in Europe which are the focus of this work; namely, England and Wales, and the former East and West Germany. Their recent economic histories are recounted, as well as the nature of these economic and social changes, and which social groups are most likely to have been affected by them. These changes have increased the opportunities for crime in the marketplace for many citizens. The extent to which people living in these three areas report perceptions of change in their societies is examined, as well as trust in market institutions, cynicism about the law, and values related to contemporary citizenship, and how they differ between change regions and generations.
