Description: The papers selected for this volume explore issues in the study of historical jurisprudence. The topics range from the challenge to legal positivism from the perspective of the history of the common law, to the latest methodological debates in socio-historical jurisprudence. Taken together, these papers show historical jurisprudence to be a creative discipline capable of yielding insights about how to conceptualise legal change, how to give voice to those operating outside of legal officialdom and how to understand the relationship between law and politics.
