The renaissance of interest in American legal history has been greatly aided by a variety of developments in the materials and methods of legal research. Legal history has become a new center of attention in American legal education and scholarship and has attracted similarly enhanced interest in university history departments. Fortunately, this comes at a time when increasingly sophisticated research techniques and sources are gaining wide acceptance in both the academic and legal communities.

In revisiting their Stanford Law Review article, “Why Do We Tell the Same Stories: Law Reform, Critical Librarianship, and the Triple Helix Dilemma,” Professors Delgado and Stefancic contend that computer-assisted legal research has not proven to be a boon to the cause of law reform. At the time of the first article, the computer revolution, which irreversibly changed how we research legal questions, was just dawning. In this article, they focus again on categorical thinking, but this time...

On the past few years, an important legal debate has been raging, the full effects of which many lawyers have not yet felt. I am referring to the taxonomy debate and, specifically, the attempts by the late Professor Peter Birks and (the mainly academic) supporters and advocates of his and similar views to impose a coherent and logical taxonomy upon private (common) law. Much more attention should be paid to sound taxonomy, it is argued. This great project has been little noticed outside the...

"This essay examines the ambition to taxonomize law and the different methods a legal taxonomer might employ. Two possibilities predominate. The first is a reason-based taxonomy that classifies legal rules and decisions according to “legal principles” thought to justify them. Reason-based taxonomy of this type offers courts a set of high-level decisional rules, drawn from legal data, for use in deciding new cases and evaluating precedents. The second possibility is a formal taxonomy that...

Miroirs du monde, les encyclopédies médiévales reflètent toutes les connaissances de leur temps. Le Moyen Âge est, comme l’Antiquité et le XVIIIe siècle, une grande période d’encyclopédisme.

C’est à parcours à travers cet encyclopédisme médiéval que l’on se livre ici, en en reprenant les grandes scansions : schématiquement, de 500 à 1200, on rassemble les connaissances dans une période de pénurie ; de...

Cette étude expose à partir de l’exemple de la banque de données Juris-Data la logique qui préside à la conception et à la constitution des fichiers de données juridiques – décisions de tribunaux et données issues de revues spécialisées – et analyse les effets de ce traitement d’information sur la production doctrinale.

L’auteur illustre l’histoire des tentatives d’organiser les sources juridiques, plus particulièrement par la méthode de « common-placing » ou la création de « common-place books » durant le 19e siècle. Il s’agit de créer une sorte d’aide-mémoire et certains auteurs remarquent la nécessité de cette méthode en raison du volume important d’informations juridiques. Cette méthode servait aussi comme outil pour favoriser l’accessibilité des informations juridiques et visait les étudiants en droit...
