Before Borders: A Legal and Literary History of Naturalization
An ambitious revisionist history of naturalization as a creative mechanism for national expansion.
Before borders determined who belonged in a country and who did not, lawyers and judges devised a legal fiction called naturalization to bypass the idea of feudal allegiance and integrate new subjects into their nations. At the same time, writers of prose fiction were attempting to undo centuries of rules about who could—and who could not—be a subject of literature. In Before Borders, Stephanie DeGooyer reconstructs how prose and legal fictions came together in the eighteenth century to dramatically reimagine national belonging through naturalization. The bureaucratic procedure of naturalization today was once a radically fictional way to create new citizens and literary subjects.
Through early modern court proceedings, the philosophy of John Locke, and the novels of Daniel Defoe, Laurence Sterne, Maria Edgeworth, and Mary Shelley, DeGooyer follows how naturalization evolved in England against the backdrop of imperial expansion. Political and philosophical proponents of naturalization argued that granting foreigners full political and civil rights would not only attract newcomers but also better attach them to English soil. However, it would take a new literary form—the novel—to fully realize this liberal vision of immigration. Together, these experiments in law and literature laid the groundwork for an alternative vision of subjecthood in England and its territories.
Reading eighteenth-century legal and prose fiction, DeGooyer draws attention to an overlooked period of immigration history and compels readers to reconsider the creative potential of naturalization.

Legal London: A Pictorial History
London has been home to more lawyers, for more centuries, than any other city on earth. Paris ran it neck-and-neck until the 18th century, after which London romped away as the national and then imperial capital of a legal system with centralized Royal Courts of Justice, Inns of Court, Courts of Appeal, debtors prisons, the Old Bailey, the Archbishop’s Court at St Mary le Bow, the Bridewell, the notorious Fleet Prison, and the Metropolitan Police. No other city so celebrates, in surviving buildings and institutions, the work of judges, lawyers, litigants, criminals, and the police! This new book does justice to them all. Covering both civil and criminal aspects of the law, the author’s narrative account is enormously expanded by 200 photographs and engravings, each fully captioned; plus maps to show the location of the courts, Inns, prisons, and other places of punishment throughout the metropolis. This fascinating study of the law at work in days gone by is both entertaining and informative. Though of particular value to everyone interested in London history, it will appeal to members of the legal and law enforcement professions everywhere that the “English” system and tradition has left its mark.Read more

The Laws of Alfred: The Domboc and the Making of Anglo-Saxon Law (Studies in Legal History)
Alfred the Great’s domboc (‘book of laws’) is the longest and most ambitious legal text of the Anglo-Saxon period. Alfred places his own laws, dealing with everything from sanctuary to feuding to the theft of bees, between a lengthy translation of legal passages from the Bible and the legislation of the West-Saxon King Ine (r. 688–726), which rival his own in length and scope. This book is the first critical edition of the domboc published in over a century, as well as a new translation. Five introductory chapters offer fresh insights into the laws of Alfred and Ine, considering their backgrounds, their relationship to early medieval legal culture, their manuscript evidence and their reception in later centuries. Rather than a haphazard accumulation of ordinances, the domboc is shown to issue from deep reflection on the nature of law itself, whose effects would permanently alter the development of early English legislation.Read more

High Conflict People in Legal Disputes
People with high conflict personalities (HCPs) clog our courts as plaintiffs with inappropriate claims against their personal “targets of blame,” and as defendants who have harmed others and need to be stopped. Everybody knows someone with a High Conflict Personality. “How can he be so unreasonable?” “Why does she keep fighting? Can’t she see how destructive she is?” “Can you believe they’re going to court over ______?”
Some HCPs are more difficult than others, but they tend to share a similar preoccupation with blame that drives them into one dispute after anotherand keeps everyone perplexed about how to deal with them.
Using case examples and an analysis of the general litigation and negotiation behaviors of HCPs, this book helps make sense of the fears that drive people to file lawsuits and complaints. It provides insight for containing their behavior while managing and/or resolving their disputes. Characteristics of the five “high-conflict” personality disorders are explored:
BorderlineNarcissistic Histrionic ParanoidAntisocial
Bill Eddy is a lawyer, therapist, mediator, and President of the High Conflict Institute. He developed the “High Conflict Personality” theory and is an international expert on the subject. He is a Certified Family Law Specialist and Senior Family Mediator at the National Conflict Resolution Center. He has taught at the University of San Diego School of Law, is on the part-time faculty of the Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution at the Pepperdine University School of Law and the National Judicial College, and lectures at Monash University in Australia.

The International Legal Order’s Colour Line: Racism, Racial Discrimination, and the Making of International Law
Prior to the twentieth century, international law was predominantly written by and for the ‘civilised nations’ of the white Global North. It justified doctrines of racial inequality and effectively drew a colour line that excluded citizens of the Global South and persons of African descent from participating in international law-making while subjecting them to colonialism and the slave trade.The International Legal Order’s Colour Line narrates this divide and charts the development of regulation on racism and racial discrimination at the international level, principally within the United Nations. Most notably, it outlines how these themes gained traction once the Global South gained more participation in international law-making after the First World War. It challenges the narrative that human rights are a creation of the Global North by focussing on the decisive contributions that countries of the Global South and people of colour made to anchor anti-racism in international law.
After assessing early historical developments, chapters are devoted to The League of Nations, the adoption and implementation of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, the debates within UNESCO on the notion of race itself, expansion of crimes against humanity to cover peacetime violations, as well as challenges to apartheid in South Africa. At all stages, the focus lies on the role played by those who have been the victims of racial discrimination, primarily the countries of the Global South, in advancing the debate and promoting the development of new legal rules and institutions for their implementation. The International Legal Order’s Colour Line provides a comprehensive history and compelling new approach to the history of human rights law.

The Justice Gap: Whatever Happened to Legal Aid?
On 30 July 1949, the Legal Aid and Advice Act was granted royal assent with the intention of ensuring that anyone who needed legal advice would be able to access it. In this timely book the authors describe the origins and history of legal aid as well as New Labour’s attempts to reform the system years on. They argue that on its 60th anniversary legal aid has fallen short of its original aims. There exists a marked difference between the numbers of cases pursued to enforce rights and the many potential cases that people never take up as they are either not aware of their rights or they decide it is not worth the trouble to take it further – this is ‘the justice gap’. Though UK legal aid is arguably the best funded in the world the authors illustrate that the public are not being well served by the current system which has emerged from the recent reforms. They clearly articulate the necessary, essential reforms to bridge the justice gap that has been created and also to bring into reality the intentions of the original Act. This title will be of great interest to all legal aid practitioners and commentators and an essential purchase for policy-makers and students across the legal and social policy sectors.Read more

Legal Personhood (Elements in Philosophy of Law)
This Element presents the notion of legal personhood, which is a foundational concept of Western law. It explores the theoretical and philosophical foundations of legal personhood, such as how legal personhood is defined and whether legal personhood is connected to personhood as a general notion. It also scrutinises particular categories of legal personhood. It first focuses on two classical categories: natural persons (human beings) and artificial persons (corporations). The discussions of natural persons also cover the developing legal status of children and individuals with disabilities. The Element also presents three emerging categories of legal personhood: animals, nature and natural objects, and AI systems. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.Read more

Old English Legal Writings: 66 (Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library)
Archbishop Wulfstan of York (d. 1023) was a powerful clergyman and the most influential political thinker of pre-Conquest England. An advocate for the rights and privileges of the Church, he authored the laws of King Aethelred and King Cnut in prose that combined the rhetorical flourishes of a master homilist with the language of law. Some works forged a distinctive style by adding rhythm and alliteration drawn from Old English poetry. In the midst of Viking invasions and cultural upheaval, Wulfstan articulated a complementary relationship between secular and ecclesiastical law that shaped the political world of eleventh-century England. He also pushed the clergy to return to the ideals of their profession. Old English Legal Writings is the first publication to bring together Wulfstan’s works on law, church governance, and political reform. When read together, they reveal the scope and originality of his thought as it lays out the mutual obligations of the church, the state, and the common people. This volume presents new editions of the Old English texts alongside new English translations.Read more

Fans of Peter Robinson, Ian Rankin and Peter James will relish these cunning British police procedurals.
IN THIS EIGHT-BOOK BOX SET:
BOOK 1: LEAD ME TO THE SLAUGHTER
Detective Chief Superintendent Tommy Fox is pursuing five villains and their loot from a van heist. They find the loot . . . and a body in a shallow grave. The disappearance of a reverend, a trail of closed bank accounts and a host of stolen identities further muddy the investigations. Fox’s Flying Squad must untangle the web to find the truth.BOOK 2: THE LAUNDRY MAN
A policeman is shot in a bank robbery. Fox is convinced it’s the work of money launderer, Danny Horsfall. But Horsfall is careful to cover his tracks. Fox and his team must crack through a trail of drug pushers, crooked art dealers and prostitutes to bring the laundry man to justice.BOOK 3: TOMFOOLERY
A cache of priceless jewellery is stolen from an upmarket London hotel. All Fox’s leads are dead ends until his team find a link with a missing person enquiry. A man with multiple identities and relationships is the likely villain. The Flying Squad must hunt through a maze of dodgy characters to get to the truth.BOOK 4: SNOWDROP
Two mutilated corpses are discovered in a car on the motorway hard shoulder. White powder is found in the boot. Fox knows a drug smuggling ring when he sees one. A large and organised one at that — but this time, something clearly went very wrong . . .BOOK 5: THE TAMING OF TANGO HARRIS
A prostitute is murdered in a fashionable London hotel. Hours later a lorry is hijacked, and then the body of a criminal is found in a car boot nearby. Fox believes the crimes bear the hallmarks of gang leader Tango Harris, but Harris is always one step ahead him. He must find the link to solve the crimes.BOOK 6: UNDERNEATH THE ARCHES
Thieves find a strangled woman on the floor of their lock-up. The Flying Squad’s simple robbery case is now a murder investigation. Fox’s unorthodox way of working is put under internal scrutiny as he seeks the link between robbery and murder. Can he overcome false leads to uncover the murderer?BOOK 7: ROUGH DIAMONDS
A diamond thief is shot dead in a taxi. Days later, another diamond thief is murdered. Fox’s investigations reveal a link with an unsolved murder five years ago. But his attempts to trap the killer by using his new girlfriend as bait go disastrously wrong.BOOK 8: BLUE MURDER
Tommy Fox is promoted to commander of the International and Organised Crime branch at London’s CID. A scandalous case lands on his desk within seconds — a British businessman and two female companions have been shot dead in Cyprus. It looks like a drug deal gone wrong, but the male victim had a sideline in pornography. Fox must wade through the murky world of vice to get answers.MEET THE DETECTIVE
Thomas Fox is not your usual Detective Chief Superintendent. Happier in the field than stuck behind a desk, Tommy Fox is a hard-nosed, old-school detective, with a dry wit and sharp eye. His snappy dress and rich cockney accent lead colleagues and criminals to underestimate him. They’re making a big mistake.ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Graham Ison served in the army for five years before joining the police. He spent most of his service with the CID at Scotland Yard and was Personal Protection Officer to Prime Ministers Harold Wilson and Edward Heath.

Decolonisation and Legal Knowledge: Reflections on Power and Possibility
The law is heavily implicated in creating, maintaining, and reproducing racialised hierarchies which bring about and preserve acute global disparities and injustices. This essential book provides an examination of the meanings of decolonisation and explores how this examination can inform teaching, researching, and practising of law. It explores the ways in which the foundations of law are entangled in colonial thought and in its [re]production of ideas of commodification of bodies and space-time. Thus, it is an exploration of the ways in which we can use theories and praxes of decolonisation to produce legal knowledge for flourishing futures.Read more

An Empire of Laws: Legal Pluralism in British Colonial Policy (Yale Law Library Series in Legal History and Reference)
A compelling reexamination of how Britain used law to shape its empire
For many years, Britain tried to impose its own laws on the peoples it conquered, and English common law usually followed the Union Jack. But the common law became less common after Britain emerged from the Seven Years’ War (1754–63) as the world’s most powerful empire. At that point, imperial policymakers adopted a strategy of legal pluralism: some colonies remained under English law, while others, including parts of India and former French territories in North America, retained much of their previous legal regimes.
As legal historian Christian R. Burset argues, determining how much English law a colony received depended on what kind of colony Britain wanted to create. Policymakers thought English law could turn any territory into an anglicized, commercial colony; legal pluralism, in contrast, would ensure a colony’s economic and political subordination. Britain’s turn to legal pluralism thus reflected the victory of a new vision of empire―authoritarian, extractive, and tolerant―over more assimilationist and egalitarian alternatives. Among other implications, this helps explain American colonists’ reverence for the common law: it expressed and preserved their equal status in the empire. This book, the first empire-wide overview of law as an instrument of policy in the eighteenth-century British Empire, offers an imaginative rethinking of the relationship between tolerance and empire.Read more
