Article. - Law and History Review, 1988. - Vol. 6, No. 2. - p. 465-493. This essay is an attempt to put theory into practice. Three years ago I published a paper in which I argued that historians and anthropologists should shift their perspective from looking at laws as rules intended to keep the social system working, and at law courts as places in which these rules are...
London: Longmans, Green and Co., 1923. — 446 p. It has not been my purpose in writting this book to occupy myself in expanding of discussing some articles written on Greek criminal law in a learned dictionary of antiquities. While it is true that ancient law, however crude and obscure its expression, is not so inhumanly technical as medieval or modern law.
Leipzig: O. R. Reisland, 1908. — 236 S. Bereits wenige Jahre nach Abschluss meiner Neubearbeitung des Attischen Processes von Meiner und Schomann war die nicht kleine Auflage volkommen vergriffen.

Oxbow: Oxbow Books. 2018. - 241 p. The conclusions in this study about Greek nuptial institutions are based on a preponderance of evidence drawn from different genres (epic, tragedy, comedy, novel, myth, forensic, epigraphic, onomastic and iconographic) from different historical periods (mainly Classical but also Archaic, Hellenistic and even Mycenaean) and cultures (especially...
Berkeley: University of California Press, 1989. — 109 p. The following study owes more than I can express to the help and guidance of others. I have tried to acknowledge their published work in my notes, though I have frequently, I am sure, failed to cite every source for an idea. The bibliography contains only those items referred to in the notes, although numerous other works...
Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1996. — 262 p. This volume examines some of the many ways in which law integrated with other aspects of life in ancient Greece, and explores the extent and the limits of that integration. The idea for the seminar series, held at the Institute of Classical Studies in 1989, in which this work originated, arose from our sense of discontent with the...

Berlin: Verlag von S. Calvary und Co. 1883-1887. - 598 S. Wie wir shon in der Einleitung zu diesem Buche angedeutet haben, ist uns uber die Formen, unter welchen Privatklagen anhandig gemacht wurden, und noch viel mehr uber Unterschiede in diesen Formen, wonach etwa die Privatklagen eingetheilt und angeordnet werden konnten, so wenig uberliefert, dass wesentliche...
Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 1905. — 110 p. No complete work on the subjects of Evidence in Athenian courts has appeared since the admirable treatise of Meier and Schoemann, Der attische Process. Monographs, dissertations, and articles have been written on special points, such as oaths, slaves evidence, perjury, and arbitrators; but these for the most part have...
Paris: A. Durand et Pedone Lauriel, 1875. — 508 p. Athènes était à la fois le centre et la plus haute expression de la civilisation hellénique. C'est dans ce "prytanée de la Grèce" que vivaient les hommes d'Etat, les historiens, les philosophes illustres, les poetes et les artistes immortels. Étudier les lois d'Athènes, c'est assister aux manifestations les plus élevées du...

New York: Marymount Manhattan College, 2007. — 467 p. To write about early Greek legal thought requires, first, some consideration of what this expression might have meant at the time. “Legal philosophy” in the modern sense did not exist before Plato, but “legal thought,” in the sense of thinking about law, undoubtedly did. We find various reflections on law explicitly or...
London: Thames and Hudson, 1978. — 279 p. Ancient Greek law is fragmented and elusive subject for study. Every sity-state had is own laws; no doubt there similarities and some states copied laws from others, but we should never assume whithout evidence that any particular rule was shared by two different states. And often the evidence is lacking. Even for Athens, the state...
Oxford: At the Clarendon Press, 1909. — 438 p. Although the Rhodian Sea-Law has been not infrequently edited, the learned continue to call for a new edition. Goldsmith says of Sea-law: "Es bedarf noch grundlicher Untersuchung." Zacharia von Lingenthal says of it: "Sowohl Text als lateinische Uebersezung bedurfen noc wiederholter kritisher Bearbeitung." It is to meet this demand...

2nd edition — Routledge, 2011. — 304 p. The ancient Athenian legal system is both excitingly familiar and disturbingly alien to the modern reader. It functions within a democracy which shares many of our core values but operates in a disconcertingly different way. Trials from Classical Athens assembles a number of surviving speeches written for trials in Athenian courts,...
Cambridge University Press, 2006. — 222 p. In Lawand Justice in the Courts of Classical Athens, Adriaan Lanni draws on contemporary legal thinking to present a new model of the legal system of classical Athens. She analyzes the Athenians’ preference in most cases for ad hoc, discretionary decision making, as opposed to what moderns would call the rule of law. Lanni argues that...
Oxford University Press, 2015. — 448 p. The continued vitality of the Greek city (polis) in the centuries after the Peloponnesian War has now been richly demonstrated by historians. But how does that vitality relate to the prominence in the same period of both civic unrest, or stasis, and utopian political thinking? In order to address this question, this volume uses exile and...

While other early communities wrote codes...
