OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Genius or juristic accident? Policy, legal change and the early Common Law
This lecture considers how far legal change was a matter of policy, how far it was the unintended outcome of limited innovations. It raises issues concerning competition between different models of lordship and landholding and revisits the notion of an ‘anti-feudal’ policy. It thereby reflects upon the arguments of Maitland and of S.F.C. Milsom.
