The interaction of faith and the community is a fundamental of modern society. The first country to adopt Presbyterianism in its national church, Scotland adopted a system of church government, which is now in world-wide use. This book examines the development and current state of Scots law. Drawing on previous material as well as discussing current topical issues, this book makes some comparisons between Scotland and other legal and religious jurisdictions. The study first considers the Church of Scotland, its ’Disruption’ and statutorily recognised reconstitution and then the position of other denominations before assessing the interaction of religion and law and the impact of Human Rights and various discrimination laws within this distinctive Presbyterian country. This unique book will be of interest to both students and lecturers in constitutional and civil law, as well as historians and ecclesiastics.
Leading scholars discuss how changing ideas of law and authority were embedded in the historical development of British legal systems.
The Institutes of Gaius and Rules of Ulpian : the former from Studemund's apograph of the Verona Codex, with translation and notes, critical and explanatory, and copious alphabetical digest : by James Muirhead, Professor of Civil Law at the University of Edinburgh, originally intended to simply incorporate the notes from his copy of the Institutional Commentaries of Gaius for use by his students. The work includes the Latin text with the English translation on the alternative sections of the pages. The Introduction includes what he feels is necessary for students to know of Gaius and his Institutes and Studemund's Apograph. A Table of Authorities cited in the Notes by their abbreviation begins on page xvii and a subject index begins on page 441.
This book argues that the legal understanding of 'family' in the UK continues to be underpinned by the idealised image of the 'nuclear family', premised upon the traditional, gendered roles of 'father as breadwinner' and 'mother as homemaker'. This examination of the law's model of the 'family' has been prompted by the substantial reforms that have taken place in family law in recent decades, and the significant evolution in social attitudes and familial practices that has occurred in parallel. Throughout the book, the influence of the nuclear family is noted in several different contexts: various specific legal definitions of 'family', the legal regulation of adult, conjugal relationships, the attribution of legal parenthood and the construction of the role of the 'parent' within the law. Ultimately, this book argues that while these reforms have resulted in additional categories of relationship coming to be situated within the nuclear family model, there has not, as yet, been any fundamental alteration of the underpinning concept of the nuclear family itself. This book concludes by considering the possibilities offered beyond the 'nuclear family'; exploring the reconceptualising of the legal understanding of 'family' around alternative and potentially 'radical' models of 'family'.
