In the first article, Shaunnagh Dorsett sheds light on judge Barron Field’s attempts to reform Gibraltar’s procedural law in the 1830s. Although the reform failed, its history tells a lot about the movement of ideas in the early-nineteenthcentury British Empire. The reader is left convinced of how useful it is do colonial legal history comparatively. Claudia Passarella’s article continues to delve into the history of procedural law. Passarella’s emphasis is on the relationship between professional judges and laypersons in criminal matters, which she approaches by comparing the decision-making procedures in Italy and Ireland in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. The author demonstrates how two countries with different legal traditions adopted different solutions when facing similar problems. In the third article of this issue, Thomas Mohr assesses the value of law journals as historical sources for the period between 1922 and 1939 after the partitioning of the island of Ireland. Law journals were not passive observers of the partitioning process. Instead, ‘having to cater for two diverging jurisdictions on the island of Ireland in place of one’, they ‘needed to engage with legal and constitutional developments within the wider Empire’. From the perspective of legal journals, Mohr also provides a comparative analysis of this process of adaptation. As always, the reviews section contains an interesting selection of reviews on recent books. We wish our readers inspiring moments with this issue of Comparative Legal History!","PeriodicalId":53815,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Legal History","volume":"7 1","pages":"129 - 129"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/2049677x.2019.1685731","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48872541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The subtitle – ‘Artistic Representations and Iconography of Law and Justice in Context, from the Middle Ages to the First World War’ – makes plain the breadth of the aspirations. The editors brought together European legal historians, art historians and semioticians to explore the import of shared and overlapping visual traditions. The introduction explains that the book grew out of an art exhibition held in Bruges, the site of the extraordinary 1498 Gerard David painting of the Judgment of Cambyses, and discussed in Chapters Two and Seven. The story comes from the Historiae, written by Herodotus around 440 BCE and describing the rule of King Cambyses, said to have lived some hundred years earlier. According to Herodotus, upon learning that the judge, Sisamnes, was corrupt, Cambyses ordered him flayed alive. Thereafter, Cambyses appointed Otanes, the son of Sisamnes, to serve as a jurist and forced the son to preside on a seat made from the skin of his father. From the thirteenth century onward, versions of this narrative were reiterated in European compilations of classical stories and, by the seventeenth century, regularly portrayed in European town halls. Dozens of images exist, but the vividness of the Judgment of Cambyses by the Flemish artist David is noteworthy. Competing interpretations exist of both the Cambyses story and the reasons for its","PeriodicalId":53815,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Legal History","volume":"7 1","pages":"239 - 245"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/2049677x.2019.1685750","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44949733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Art of Law edifies but also (and perhaps intentionally) leaves readers wanting more direction and analyses. The ever-present question is about what was put on view. Are we, twenty-first-century viewers, looking at decisions dictated by a governing legal body, or are these artefacts of artistic choice and (as some chapters suggest) whimsy? How are we to understand what the different spectators took to be the messages of the objects we look at now? Furthermore, how do we, living in a world awash with images, glimpse (a word chosen advisedly) the impact on those who looked at the images when put on display. What were the directives judges were supposed to take, for example, when assigned to rooms inscribed with the words ‘Judge ye, as ye shall be judged’? In sum, readers of this volume will learn a great deal about the history of iconography associated with law but less about the translocal political and social forces that render ‘Justice’ legible, that built impressive structures, and that pressed certain narratives into public consciousness. Furthermore, the haunting question addressed by some, but not all, of the authors remains: how to think about the continued legibility of much of this imagery, given that social movements have transformed adjudication into a practice embedded in democracies and, in many countries, have produced courthouses as an icon not only of adjudication but also of government more generally?","PeriodicalId":53815,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Legal History","volume":"7 1","pages":"245 - 253"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/2049677X.2019.1685751","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45502902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
