Legal Reform in Taiwan under Japanese Colonial Rule, 1895-1945
Taiwan s modern legal system--quite different from those of both traditional China and the People s Republic--has evolved since the advent of Japanese rule in 1895. Japan has gradually adopted Western law during the 19th-century and when it occupied Taiwan--a frontier society composed of Han Chinese settlers--its codes were instituted for the purpose of rapidly assimilating the Taiwanese people into Japanese society.
Tay-sheng Wang s comprehensive study lays a solid foundation for future analyses of Taiwanese law. It documents how Western traditions influenced the formation of Taiwan s modern legal structure through the conduit of Japanese colonial rule and demonstrates the extent to which legal concepts diverged from the Chinese legal tradition and moved toward Western law.

Correlation between classical Roman law and English common law: comparative historical analysis
The term 'correlation' can be interpretated in a wider meaning than the presence of a frequency of connection between two collignial indicators. This semantic content as \"a relation existing between phenomena\" is present in the discourse of liberal arts, in contrast to parametric statistics. The purpose of the study is to verify the existence of a correlation between basic conceptual ideas in Ancient Roman law and English common law and to evaluate the scope and manifestations of this issue. The research problem is complicated by the fact that the overwhelming majority of modern historians traditionally contrast the legal systems of continental European countries with Anglo-American law. And there very few famous scientists who consistently reaffirm the opposite position and consider that the common legal tradition in Europe exists. The article shows three groups of key evidence of Ancient Roman Law influences on the English Common Law. The historical arguments explain the fantastic ability of English law to export to other countries. In world history, this property was only one legal culture, namely Old Roman. These abilities to transfer and reception are defined as the most significant parallels between the legal traditions that are investigated.

Counting the Cost: The Financial Implications of the Loss of Normandy
The loss of Normandy in 1204 should rightly be considered one of the most important events in British history, mainly because King John's unprecedented financial activity in the subsequent decade was the main reason behind the political dissent that culminated in the formulation of Magna Carta. The charter's financial significance cannot be overstated, as the restrictions it imposed on the crown's ability to raise revenue shaped the political landscape for the remainder of the thirteenth century. Both major crises of the thirteenth century, namely the baronial reform movement from 1258 to 1265, and the opposition to Edward I from 1297, share the same underlying factor – the crown's desperate need for money caused by the impositions of 1215. Therefore fully to comprehend why momentous political events occurred in the way they did, it is imperative to grasp the financial circumstances that lie behind them.In consequence, this paper provides an overview of English state finance from 1190 to 1307 in relation to the causes and implications of the loss of Normandy. There are two primary areas of focus. First, by using recent surveys of the Angevin financial administration, it is possible to reassess John's role in the collapse of the Anglo-Norman realm. The somewhat surprising conclusions of this initial survey make it possible to demonstrate that the impact of the disaster on the constituent elements of royal revenue, as well as the mechanics of the financial administration, was still relevant at the end of Edward's reign over a century later.
