A Medieval Book and Early-Modern Law: Bracton's Authority and Application in the Common Law C.1550-1640 / by Ian Williams
:: SSRN This article considers the place of the thirteenth-century book known as Bracton in the early-modern common law. Using methods from the history of reading, it examines both the uses made of Bracton and the evidence to be found in the surviving copies of the first printed edition. It addresses the impediments to the use of Bracton, the printing of the first edition, the text’s readership and its place in the early-modern common-law canon.

The second half of the article ... Bracton was a recognized source for criminal law and there is some evidence of impact on the law of evidence, servitudes and a little for contract law. An examination of the early-modern law of treason shows that Bracton had an important role in changing the concept of treason from a crime against the monarch to something like the much broader classical crimen laesae maiestatis. The article demonstrates that legal historians should be concerned to identify not only what lawyers read, but how they read it.

Law's Slow Violence / by Dayna Scott
:: SSRN Slow violence, in Nixon’s conception [Rob Nixon, "Slow Violence and the Environmentalism of the Poor"], is “a violence that occurs gradually and out of sight, a violence of delayed destruction that is dispersed across time and space, an attritional violence that is typically not viewed as violence at all.”

A Novice Lawyer at the Art Gallery / by Veronica Ashenhurst
:: SSRN This article reflects, via the medium of art, on a learning transition in legal writing. Specifically, it analyzes the new lawyer’s transition from the legal writing genre of office memorandum to the legal writing genre of advocacy brief. To emphasize key qualities of the legal writing genres memo and brief, the article presents two paintings, by Léon Bonvin and Camille Pissarro respectively. Viewed together, the paintings also emphasize the concept of transition. ... The article aims to make the writing transition from memo to brief more accessible to the novice lawyer, especially the visual learner. More broadly, it aims to encourage reflective professional dialogue between expert and novice lawyers about writing skills, as legal writing becomes an increasingly vital means by which lawyers communicate.

Orphan Works: Definitional Issues / by David Hansen
:: SSRN
"This paper outlines responses to two definitional questions that arise in the context of orphan works: (1) exactly what is the “orphan works” problem?, and (2) what is the size of this problem? The answers to these two questions are central to understanding how proposed solutions work to remedy the situation. While the most common descriptions of the orphan works problem focus on unlocatable copyright owners, others have framed the issue in terms of a broader problem of market failure. This paper explores both formulations of the problem. Similarly, the size of the orphan works problem can be viewed from many angles. Rough approximations of the size of the problem for certain types of works (e.g., published monographs) are available, but comprehensive data on the number and value of orphan works do not currently exist for a wide variety of works and the uses to which those works might be put. This paper suggests areas in which further research on these issues is needed."

The Use of Non-MARC Metadata in AALL Libraries: A Baseline Study / Robert Richards
This article reports results of a recent survey of AALL libraries respecting non-MARC metadata practices, with a focus on interoperability. Results cover types of collections described with non-MARC metadata, as well as metadata standards, platforms, and tools. Results suggest substantial, though incomplete, awareness among respondents of metadata interoperability and the factors that enable it.

Re: Description and Access functions in a post-MARC environment?
"One way to move from plain text to data is to use codes or identifiers for all controlled vocabularies so that you are manipulating the identity, not a text string. That allows you to vary the display form without modifying the meaning of your data, for example using displays in different languages."

Re: Description and Access functions in a post-MARC environment? / J. McRee Elrod
"The wealth of possibilities in MARC have not been fully utilized, both in what could be coded, and what use could be made in ILSs of information normally coded."

Re: Description and Access functions in a post-MARC environment? / Jeffrey Trimble
"I wouldn't be so quick just to throw it [MARC] out before having a format in place that surpasses the usability of the MARC data exchange format. ... The cost of changing over to new format may prove to be too prohibitive for most. The commercial ILS vendor are just not going to re-write their systems and give it to the customer free. This could be one of the most expensive things that the library community will undertake, more expensive than any migration form AACR2 to RDA could ever be ... if the replacement isn't as robust as MARC, then it is doomed to fail."
