Paper Title

-- By MattConroy - 28 Nov 2017

As an analytical framework arguing that the diversity of origins formed the unique character of English Law does not seem very useful. Were the origins diverse? Yes. Was the law distinct? Also yes. But many legal systems have diverse origins and yet do not seem to produce such a distinct legal system. There is no precisely here at all. What matters is that the origins were diverse and then the system was allowed to develop without significant outside influence for several hundred years.

What is the Englishry of English Law?

What exactly is it that Maitland calls the Englishry of English Law? It seems to mean that by the end of the 13th century the English recognized their own law as distinct and "were proud of it"
