"The compiling of the Customaries, decided by the king in 1454, engages a long process of writing and interpretation of the Law. Mainly, this research is based on the minutes of assemblies assigned to compile the Customaries, who allow an analysis of the choices commanded by the writing of the Law: title and position of different chapters and articles of the Customary, interpretation of terms, search of a greater clarity of the text. The question of the seigneurial rights is in the debates's...

ln his 1995 Maccabaean Lecture to the British Academy, Professor Peter Stein described the long intellectual struggle to achieve a systematic understanding and exposition of the civil law.' He was chiefly concerned with the early modern attempts to improve on the scheme of Justinian's Institutes, and by civil law he meant the Rornan-based law of the continental jurisdictions and of others further afield to which that law has migrated. He did not consider in any detail the same story as it...

Digital Libraries (DLs) is a recent term used to refer to information systems (IS) and services that provide electronic documents-text files, digital sound, digital video-available in dynamic or archival repositories. Some insist that DLs refer to documentary collections that are accessed via the Internet, while others refer to DLs as any collection of electronic text, sound, or video files used in a shared space. There is much at stake in these debates. If DLs are narrowly defined, then we...

Writings on the subject of back-of-the-book indexing in the late nineteenth century leave one with the distinct impression that indexes at the backs of books were something of a rarity at that time. This article suggests that writers on the subject may have actually been appropriating a technology that had by that point in time become fairly standard.

L'éducation juridique, sous plusieurs aspects, contribue à forger des pratiques du droit qui sont fondamentalement opposées à la formation de mouvements sociaux. Ces pratiques incluent l'individualisation des problèmes des clients; le façonnement des vécus des clients de manière à les faire entrer dans des catégories juridiques; l'engagement envers l'instrumentalisme (c'est-à-dire l'obtention d'un résultat favorable); ainsi que la domination et le contrôle des avocats auxquels sont reliés le...

In December 1996 Classification of Obligations formed the topic of one of a series of SPTL seminars under the general title of Pressing Problems in the Law. It may, perhaps, be asked quite why classification is a pressing problem, for it is by no means clear from the papers themselves that common lawyers have suddenly become more concerned about the internal structure of the 'seamless web'. Nevertheless the seminar was a valuable opportunity to reflect upon a subject that is at least a...

This study investigated the effects of end-user search experience on searching behavior in the use of an online information retrieval system by monitoring the QUICKLAW searches of a group of law students over a 1-year period. Searching behavior was examined in these aspects: Searcher command and feature repertoires (i.e., the set of commands and the set of features such as Boolean operators and truncation used), language usage patterns (command and feature use frequencies, state chains of...

"Professor Bintliff discusses how computer-assisted legal research is changing the traditional approach to legal problem solving or, as it is often referred to, "thinking like a lawyer.""

Le travail décrit ici vise à permettre une exploitation factuelle de documents de type administratif ou juridique. Par exploitation factuelle il faut entendre la création d’une base de données qui permette une prise en compte précise des faits et non une simple description du contenu des documents. Diverses expérimentations ont été entreprises. Elles ont abouti à une solution satisfaisante prenant la forme d’éléments méthodologiques pour la mise en place de telles applications et d’une...

Drawing upon existing research and previous attempts at modeling the information-seeking behavior of specific professional groups, this article posits an original model of information seeking that is applicable to all professionals. The model was developed through a careful analysis and interpretation of empirical studies on the information habits and practices of three groups: engineers, health care professionals, and lawyers. The general model and its six major components are presented in...

West Publishing Corp.'s WESTLAW and Reed-Elsevier's LEXIS service, the two titans of online legal services, have dominated legal research for as long as electronic research has existed. However, the Internet may soon be as important an online resource for the legal research as LEXIS and WESTLAW are. A comparison is made of these 3 services. Some of the areas of comparison are: 1. the US code, 2. code of federal regulations, 3. Supreme Court decisions, 4. directories of lawyers and law firms,...

"Professor Arthurs argues that with the growth and diversification of knowledge, the common body of knowledge that underpins a unified profession is becoming more difficult to sustain. The desire to know, the need to know and the resources to know have divided lawyers into subprofessions, increasingly defined by the non-lawyers with whom they work and the clienteles they serve, bound together- if at all-only by nostalgia and some residuum of self-interest."
