Federal Control

Legal history teaches two doctrines, which seem at first glance diametrically opposed to each other, with reference to the current agitation concerning the dangers of federal encroachment. First, that the agitation, in so far as it is called out by a temporary accidental state of affairs due to the war, is ephemeral. On the other hand, the essential facts involved are of a type that are always with us. In other words, federal encroachment, when stripped of the mask and guise that temporarily makes it seem dreadful, is a perfectly natural phenomenon quite familiar to students of Anglo-American law, and, for that matter, of other legal systems.

Law Library

Our topic is the impact of English common law on American law. Our thesis is that the impact was considerable, mutual, and long-running; also that it will be possible to demonstrate the connectedness of Anglo and American variants chiefly by using bibliographic methods. For this purpose, we shall make use of the collections of the Bounds Law Library of the University of Alabama—though the collections of many well-established state law schools would equally suffice. In addition, we can call upon the vast amount of bibliographic information available online through WorldCat and related databases.

Corporate Criminal Liability

An exercise in comparative legal history and legal theory, this article challenges the radical distinction that traditionally has been drawn between corporate criminal liability in German and Anglo-American law. In the familiar account, corporate criminal liability in the common law and the civil law passed each other like ships in the night, sometime around the turn of the nineteenth century: the common law had no corporate criminal liability before 1800, and the civil law had no corporate criminal liability after 1800. Closer inspection, however, reveals that corporate criminal liability was widely accepted in both common law and civil law countries at least since the Middle Ages, and that rejection of corporate criminal liability was complete neither in England before 1800 nor in Germany after 1800.
