Role Of Women

This article examines the role of women in raising criminal actions of homicide before the central criminal court, in early modern Scotland. In doing so, it highlights the two main forms of standing women held; pursing an action for homicide alone and as part of a wider group of kin and family. The evidence presented therein challenges our current understanding of the role of women in the pursuit of crime and contributes to an under-researched area of Scots criminal legal history, gender and the law.

Political Dispute

The Peasants' War of 1525 has rarely been perceived as a problem of legal history. The conflict between the peasants and their masters is interpreted as a political dispute, the peasants' demands, expressed in their 12 articles, are considered religious utopia. The book challenges this view and examines the role of law in the context of the Peasants' War from different points of view: Can the conflict be described as a dispute about legal positions? How did the peasants perceive the law and how did the law perceive the peasants? What opportunities and risks did the law hold for the pursuit of lasting conflict resolution? An exemplary consideration of the dispute over the drudgery services proves the central importance of the law for the history of the Peasants' War.

The Law

The previous chapters traced some of the implications of treating law as a quasi-religious system. This chapter develops another aspect of the religious analogy through the self-conscious examination of tensions generated when one “professes” law, particularly in the institutional role of a “professor of law.” Only such an examination will allow us to decide whether an otherwise qualified individual should be hired to profess constitutional law. It considers the imagined application of one William Scheiderman to join a faculty of law. It argues that while law school may be aimed at a more adult clientele, the mixed and contradictory tasks of both generating autonomous adults and preparing them to reproduce the central institutions of the culture are no less present.
