2025ref. 840192025. Boshno Svetlana V. Comparative Legal Doctrine. Clark New Jersey: Talbot Publishing 2025. xxviii 460 pp. ISBN-13: 9781616196974. ISBN-10: 1616196971. Hardcover. New. $150. A title in the Studies in Russian East European and Eurasian Law Series. This pioneering work is the first in English to examine the role of legal doctrine in the American and primarily Russian legal systems. Much as judicial precedent has been used in the past Boshno's study considers the use or non-use of legal doctrine as a distinguishing feature between families of legal systems. Taking advantage of access to judicial materials facilitated by modern technologies it identifies instances where reliance on doctrinal sources is explicit. Then it considers these issues through the lens of detailed questionnaires and lengthy personal conversations made with exceptional access to actors in the Russian legal system. The major achievement of this study is its demonstration that the use of legal doctrine in judicial processes is a major distinguishing feature between Anglo-American and socialist/transitional/Romano-Germanic legal models. It is a significant benchmark in comparative legal studies--an empirically documented original and pathbreaking socio-legal study of a legal system in which studies on this scale are unprecedented. Svetlana V. Boshno is the first Russian jurist to hold higher doctorates Doctor of Juridical Science 2004 and SJD 2024 in the Russian Federation and the United States. She has taught law for more than three decades and consulted extensively in various capacities on legislative drafting. She has written extensively on sources of law applying her multi-disciplinary background in sociology philology statistics mathematics artificial intelligence computer programming and public administration to produce a model for legal research in the form of the "Persona-Doctrine" an original concept elaborated with scientific rigor and personal warmth. unknown books

This historical review of parliamentary impeachments was published in response to the 1787 impeachment trial of Warren Hastings 1732-1818 for alleged improprieties and abuses as Governor-General of India. Perhaps the most sensational English trial of the eighteenth century the proceedings took seven years due to adjournments of Parliament and became a flashpoint for debate about the future of the British Empire and the rights of the colonized. Edmund Burke led the prosecution. In the end Hastings was overwhelmingly acquitted and his vision of absolute control in service of British nationalism would become the legacy of the Empire in India.

First edition of the earliest English treatise devoted exclusively to the law of husband and wife and one of the principal early attempts to systematize the common-law doctrine of coverture in a single practical work. Issued in expanded editions 1719 1738 it remained a point of reference for eighteenth-century practitioners and compilers. The treatise organizes the law of marriage as a coherent doctrinal field proceeding from formation solemnization and validity through the incidents of coverture to dissolution and separation. Its treatment of the feme covert is comprehensive addressing personal status contractual incapacity property rights and procedural position. In contrast to earlier more diffuse authorities it offers a structured exposition designed for professional use with attention to pleading evidentiary questions and precedent. Of particular legal interest is its detailed account of the interaction between strict coverture doctrine and the equitable and customary devices that qualified it. The discussion of marriage settlements trusts and separate maintenance agreements documents the means by which property could be secured to or for the use of married women notwithstanding their formal incapacity at common law.

Plucknett's book is not.a mere epitome of what is to be found elsewhere. He has explored on his own account many regions of legal history and even where the ground has been already quartered he has fresh methods of mapping it. The title which he has chosen is in view of the contents of the volume rather a narrow one.
