Introduction to Law: Legal History

[@jima8946]

Thank you sir. I have sent the link to your channel to a number of other law students. Watching your videos made me enrol in the course.

Great video! Would you have the URL to the first video you mentioned around the 3 minute mark?

hi Anthony, have you done a video on the 'forms of action' and their decline and demise? If not, woud you consider it?

[@AnthsLawSchool]

Hi Shahid, I think this would probably require someone with more specialised legal history knowledge than I have. From memory, there were successive attempts to rationalise the forms of action, and then they were ultimately done away with in the reform era in the late 19th century, but some of them (for instance mandamus and habeas corpus) can still be argued. If I ever get the time to dig into it properly, then I certainly will, but it would be quite an undertaking, I think. Thanks for watching!

@@AnthsLawSchool thanks for getting back to me. That subject fascinates me, it explains the origins of so much common law.

Knowing, that like football, laws were made in a pub a long time ago, make a lot more sense now.

[@AnthsLawSchool]

I reckon if all our laws were made after a couple of drinks, the world might be a better place ;-)

The Bible shaped society by influencing judges to make balances between the extremes of the old testament stoning punishments and the scot-free forgiveness taught by Christ.

Love the dons footage

The 1984 Grand Final. One of my favourite games of all times. Go Bombers!

It could sound a bit missleading if the first roman legal code mentioned is Corpus Juris (of Justinian). Where are Drakon's law, Salon's law, roman 12 tables' law, etc. Also many people tried to causplay Justinian's corpus juris. E.g. Suleiman's Canun or Spiranski law reform in XIX century Russia.

[@AnthsLawSchool]

I was really clear though that this was a very broad overview. What one can accomplish in a 40 minute introductory video is different to what one would put in a 12 week course. Moreover the earliest laws I mention are Hammurabi's code. What I say about Justinian is that combined with the first 5 mosaic books of the bible/torah, this is where we see the antecedents of AUSTRALIAN law. Drako, Salon, Suleiman etc are not relevant to the development of British and therefore Australian law and are therefore not mentioned. Thanks for watching though!

Hi I would like to ask if Legal History is considered to be World History

[@AnthsLawSchool]

Well, I guess legal history is one aspect of world history, but world history comes from many many perspectives!

[@adityakumar-nw1qi]

Sir can you help me about this topic Histories and the Law: What kinds of histories are 'relevant This is my project topic given by legal history teacher

[@AnthsLawSchool]

That's a pretty broad topic. I'd have thought all of the English stuff in this video would be relevant to any common law country though.

[@luserdroog]

A little unfair to call Cromwell simply "a dictator", at least according to the movie.

[@AnthsLawSchool]

Well sure, but there is only so much nuance a short video can provide. I don't think anyone will mistake this video for detailed civil war history

[@Stardusk.]

Your video considerations are telling from photos to broken down pieces of context in history to the next short piece of context. Even the introductory tunes are you sales pitch. Who do you teach, and why bother? Breath easy Teach.

[@AnthsLawSchool]

These materials were originally part of a course I taught at a university, which explains the university branding at the start. But why do I bother? I just love this channel, the feedback that I get from students, and being part of student success :)
