“…Later, Schnitzer (1961) suggested that Nordic law was a subgroup of the Roman family, and Zweigert and Kotz (1998) suggested that the Nordic legal type was distinct enough from Roman law that it merited a separate legal family. Nordic legal scholars, for the most part, suggest that elements from each of these legal traditions are infused with a universalistic cultural that appears specifically Nordic and uses the law to ameliorate social inequalities (Pihlajamaki, 2004;Lappi-Seppala, 2007). The Nordic region lacked the landed aristocracy that was so influential in England, nor did they have the presence of such a brutal regime as the Frencĥ ' Both Arminjon et al and Schnitzer were found in Husa et al (2007) as I could not find an English version of these publications.…”

“…First, mixing types of legal thinking provides an approach that incorporates bureaucratic checks on legal actors and uses the law to reflect specific cultural values (Pihlajamaki, 2004). The Nordic region is known for its attention to social cohesion, universalism and solidarity that is reflected in social policies (EspingAnderson, 1990: 67-69) and minimal reliance on formal punishment.…”

An interdisciplinary comparative-historical fi-amework is proposed to map the relationship between legal institutional differences and the use of incarceration. The oft-cited empirical trend that Western countries cluster on an assortment of social, political, and economic outcomes is incorporated with Weberian sociology of law. Incarceration levels vary, in descending order, as a function of the institutional possibilities within the common, Roman, and Nordic law families. A country's legal origin supports certain legal institutional frameworks and historical trajectories that are consequential for punishment decisions. The historical record of each legal family demonstrates particular types of legal thinking that foster unique institutional fi'ameworks that are more or less likely to support punitive, bureaucratic, or collective crime control mechanisms.

“…Ross (1958) contended that legal rules-which cannot be neither true nor false-are directives, binding guidelines, addressed to judges to make decisions on specific cases. Either way, as stressed by contemporary research, both types of realism share empirical epistemic attitudes and the willingness to get things done considering all the consequences of the decisions made (Pihlajamäki 2004). Being a realist means being also aware of the social environment that law tries to shape, acknowledging both the limitations of the whole process and the need to explain the course, reasons and causes of the decisions.…”

This is a Research Note about the ongoing Project on the semantics of pactism (pactisme) in Catalan ancient law. Pactism is the name of the legal doctrine that grounds the validity of legal provisions upon a pact-based model. It was developed as a basis for Catalan Public law in the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries. We present it as a medieval realism. Looking at the concomitances of 20th century legal realism and the doctrine of pactism can shed light on the emergence of early states and the construction of legal doctrines stemming from the reception of Roman law, the wide use of ius commune, and the development of case-based law and Scholastic reasoning methods. The semantics of pact-modelling processes and outcomes has yet to be established. Thus, it is also contended that Digital Humanities can offer some technological solutions to unravel underlying linguistic, cognitive and ontological patterns to understand the political culture that came out of it and developed until the 18th c. in Catalonia.

“…Hukuk bilimi sosyal teori olarak, hukuk politikası ise sosyal teknoloji olarak anlaşılmıştır. 104 Hukukun kendisi ise bu dönemden itibaren toplum mühendisliğinin bir aracıdır. 105 Alman hukuk biliminin etkisiyle biçimlenen; kavramsallık ve sistematize olma nitelikleriyle damgalanan haksız fiil hukukunun, yeni risklerle beraber yeni kurumları benimsediği görülmektedir.…”

Bu çalışma iki bölümden oluşmaktadır. İlk bölümde İskandinav hukukunun belirleyici özelliklerinin belirlenmesi ve açıklanmasına çalışılacaktır. Geniş anlamda İskandinav hukuku, İsveç, Norveç, Danimarka, İzlanda ve Finlandiya hukuklarını kapsamaktadır. Bu bağlamda bu hukuk düzenlerinin tarihsel gelişimleri, hukuk kaynakları, yargıç hukuku, yorum, hukuki düşünce biçimi, İskandinav hukukuna rengini veren pragmatizm ve realizm, hukuk eğitimi, hukukçuluk mesleği ve yargı teşkilatı göz önüne alınacaktır. Çalışmanın ikinci bölümü İskandinav hukukunu, dünya hukuk sistemlerinin sınıflandırmaları arasına yerleştirmeye yönelik bir girişimdir. Birinci bölümde tespit edilen ayırt edici özelliklere dayanılarak, İskandinav hukukunun Kıta Avrupası veya common law hukuk çevreleri altında ele alınmasını imkânsız hale getiren ayrıksı konumu gösterilmeye çalışılacaktır. Bu doğrultuda, hukuk çevreleri teorilerinin uygunluğu sorgulanacak ve klasik hukuk çevreleri ayrımlarının, İskandinav hukuku gibi atipik hukuk sistemlerini içerecek kadar kapsayıcı olup olmadığı sorusu yöneltilecektir. Bu sorgulama çerçevesinde, hukuk düzenlerinin sınıflandırılmasına yönelik, çoğu 'kurallar bütünü olarak hukuk' yaklaşımını reddeden yakın tarihli öneriler de, atipik düzenleri kapsamaya uygun oluşları bakımından incelenip değerlendirilecektir.
