The law is at the heart of modern American life. Since the 1950s, American historians have presented an extraordinarily rich and diverse account of the law and legal institutions of American history. But although our knowledge has increased enormously, few attempts have been made to summarize its many parts in a summary and synthesis of the history of law in America. The history of Cambridge law in America was conceived precisely for this purpose. Sixty of the leading legal historians in the United States have come together in a single venture to present the most comprehensive and authoritative account in the history of American law. Volume II of the Cambridge History of Law in America focuses on the “long” nineteenth century, from the founding of the Republic to the immediate aftermath of world War I – the century of continental expansion, urban growth, capitalist innovation, industrialization and war. The crystallization and then, after the Civil War, the reinvention of a clearly American state system are examined, as well as the establishment and growth of systematic legal education, the spread of the legal profession, and the increasing density of legal institutions. During this century, law becomes a technique of first instance, wherever a person, institution or government tries to organize human activities. In this volume, we see how law is closely related to religion, how it is rooted in popular culture, and how it intersects with the different worlds of the U.S. military and international relations. Lisa Ford is a history professor at UNSW, Sydney. An award-winning legal historian whose work focused on jurisdictional politics in the United States and the British Empire until 1850, she is the author of The King`s Peace (2021) and settler Sovereignty (2010) and co-author (with L.
Benton) of Rage for Order (2016). She is a member of the Australian Academy of Humanities. This series, published in collaboration with the American Society for Legal History, consists of books that address central issues in the history of law. The series hosts works of unusual distinction, both by older and younger scientists. Most of the volumes published in the series deal with American legal history, although a considerable number deal with European subjects. There are no chronological, cultural or geographical boundaries for the volumes of the series. For more information, see studiesinlegalhistory.org on the series website. The history of Cambridge law in America was conceived precisely for this purpose.
Sixty of the leading legal historians in the United States have come together in a single venture to present the most comprehensive and authoritative account in the history of American law. The history of Cambridge law in America was made possible through the generous support of the American Bar Foundation. Volume III of the Cambridge History of Law in America covers the period from 1920 to the present day, “the American Century.” It traces a century of legal changes – in the state, in legal thought and education, in professional organization and in life, in American federalism and governance, in domestic affairs and international relations. It shows what the twentieth century looked like politically, socially and culturally as law became ubiquitous in American life. Topics covered include innovations in the disciplinary and regulatory application of law, changes brought about by the intersection of law with explosive struggles over race, gender, class, and sexuality, the emergence and development of the particularly American legal discourse on “rights,” and the expansion of that discourse on the international stage. The main focus of this latest volume in the history of Law from Cambridge to America is on the accelerated pace of change, which we can be sure will continue. Peter Cane has written extensively in the fields of public law, private law and legal theory. He is co-editor (with H. Kumarasingham) of The Cambridge Constitutional History of the United Kingdom and author of Controlling Administrative Power: An Historical Comparison (2016). He is a corresponding member of the British Academy and a member of the Australian Academy of Social Sciences. One of the most exciting recent trends in the history of American law has been the spread of jurisprudence to early America. Volume I of the Cambridge History of Law in America benefits from this spread and begins the representation of law in America with the earliest moments of European colonization and colonization of the North American landmass.
He followed these processes for more than two hundred years until the eventual creation and stabilization of the American Republic. The book deals with the place of law in relation to colonization and empire, indigenous peoples, government and jurisdiction, population migration, economic and commercial activities, religion, the creation of social institutions, and revolutionary politics. American legal history has long treated the era of the founding of the Republic and the early nineteenth century as the beginning of American law. Volume I denies this trend and corrects it. Cambridge Studies in English Legal History began publication in 1921 and today comprises about fifty volumes. It has always been under the direction of a member of Cambridge Law School – Professor J. H. Baker since 1987 – and has focused on aspects of the legal history of lawyers, both doctrinally and institutionally.
Over the past thirty years, the series has included studies on treasury courts, inquiries and delegates, the Privy Council and county courts, and assizes; the first royal judges; Lawyers and lawyers in the early modern period; legal reform in the Commonwealth and Victorian eras; the impact of the Reformation on English canon law; and biographical studies of Lord Ellesmere, Lord Stowell, Lord Eldon and Dr Lushington. Work on substantive legal history includes two important contributions to our understanding of medieval land law, one on the feudal framework of the common law and the other on the origin and early practice of the involves; essays on marriage comparisons, exchangeable instruments, evidence and copyright; and a study of the legal theory of medieval customary lawyers. The previous volumes, which contain edited texts, have reached classical status and have been reprinted in facsimile by Wm M. Gaunt & Sons, Inc. of Florida.
