A compelling study of medical and literary imaginations, Anne Linton's Unmaking Sex: The Gender Outlaws of Nineteenth-Century France (Cambridge University Press, 2022) examines the complex relationship between modes of seeing, thinking, and writing intersex bodies and lives.  In this project, Linton brings a rich archive of medical cases from 1800 to 1902 into dialogue with canonical nineteenth-century authors (Honoré de Balzac, Théophile Gautier, and Emile Zola), as well as an impressive range of less well-known writers and popular fictions that captivated French readers during the period. Challenging the (Foucauldian) emphasis on the principle of a "true sex" that apparently preoccupied French doctors following the Napoleonic Code's regulation of sexual identification (within three days of birth), Linton looks at multiple instances in which the instability of sex, the uncertainties of bodies and their stories, came up again and again for medical and other observers. Revisiting the well-known case of Herculine Barbin, Linton situates Barbin's own account within the wider medical and literary worlds of nineteenth-century France. The book's earlier chapters lay a historical groundwork for subsequent closer readings of fictions that responded and contributed to a broader cultural fascination with sexual and gender identities, desires, and ambiguities.  While historically specific in its research and arguments, Unmaking Sex offers much to readers interested in the past and present politics of medical, legal, and cultural debates surrounding intersex people, with implications well beyond the French context. Roxanne Panchasi is an Associate Professor of History at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada who specializes in twentieth and twenty-first century France and empire. She is the founding host of New Books in French Studies, a channel launched in 2013.

Today we take a deep dive into one of the most influential legal systems ever written and how it is still being felt even to this day on nearly every continent around the world.

Tort Law and How It's Tied to Our Culture by M. Stuart Madden, ESQ.Tort Law & How It's Tied to Our Culture is a socio-legal history of the norms, customs, and eventual private laws for wrongs, or Tort. Oliver Wendel Holmes described law as "a grand anthropological document." This can be said with even greater force of Tort Law, the most dynamic field within the Common Law. Whether in the form of an unwritten lesson of a myth or folktales, or rendered as written law, Tort Law reflects a culture's superego, a guide to what individuals might forego doing in the interest of a community's safety, dignity and prosperity. The work provides an entertaining and scholarly tour of Tort Law from its beginnings in the unwritten oral traditions of folktale and myth, through the ancient law codes of Mesopotamia and the cohering work of the Greeks and the codifications of the Romans and later Gothic groups, to early religious recitations of behavioral ethics. Separate treatment is afforded the vital role of the Common Law in an increasingly statutory age, exemplary or punitive damages, and the congruence between the application of tort-type remedies in the English-speaking Common Law nations and the significant number of Civil Code nations applying law more directly descended from Roman Law and the Napoleonic Code. M. Stuart Madden is Past Distinguished Professor of Law, Pace University School of Law. B.A., University of Pennsylvania (1971); M.A. (History), London School of Economics and Political Science (1972); J.D., Georgetown University Law Center (1976).

Third time's the charm right? Surely Britain n' the gang will take down bad boi France this time? Some corrections: - We mentioned when talking about Trafalgar that at this point in time Gibraltar was not yet a British possession. That is incorrect, Britain captured it during the War of Spanish Succession. - We also mentioned that the Allied effort to capture Hanover fizzled out. That's not quite accurate - the Coalition did occupy Hanover, but made little progress elsewhere in the north and was forced to withdraw after Austerlitz. - The member of the Consulate who later helped draft the Napoleonic Code was Cambacérès, not Sieyes.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for April 3, 2022 is: exculpate • EK-skull-payt • verb Exculpate means "to clear from alleged fault or guilt." // The lawyer claimed to have recently discovered evidence that would exculpate her client. See the entry > Examples: "Napoleon's admirers exculpate the emperor by pointing to his transformation of civic life in France. They say that the 1804 Napoleonic Code deserves to be seen alongside other celebrated civic texts, such as the Magna Carta and the Declaration of Independence." — Leo Cendrowicz, inews.co.uk, 16 Apr. 2021 Did you know? Exculpate is the joining of the prefix ex-, meaning "not," and the Latin noun culpa, meaning "blame." Readers may be familiar with the Latin phrase mea culpa, which translates directly as "through my fault" and is used in English to mean "a formal acknowledgment of personal fault or error."

In English common law, fee tail or entail is a form of trust established by deed or settlement which restricts the sale or inheritance of an estate in real property and prevents the property from being sold, devised by will, or otherwise alienated by the tenant-in-possession, and instead causes it to pass automatically by operation of law to an heir determined by the settlement deed. The term fee tail is from Medieval Latin feodum talliatum, which means "cut short fee" and is in contrast to "fee simple" where no such restriction exists and where the possessor has an absolute title (although subject to the allodial title of the monarch) in the property which he can bequeath or otherwise dispose of as he wishes. Equivalent legal concepts exist or formerly existed in many other European countries and elsewhere. Purpose. The fee tail allowed a patriarch to perpetuate his blood-line, family-name, honor and armorials in the persons of a series of powerful and wealthy male descendants. By keeping his estate intact in the hands of one heir alone, in an ideally indefinite and pre-ordained chain of succession, his own wealth, power and family honor would not be dissipated amongst several male lines, as became the case for example in Napoleonic France by operation of the Napoleonic Code which gave each child the legal right to inherit an equal share of the patrimony, where a formerly great landowning family could be reduced in a few generations to a series of small-holders or peasant farmers. It therefore approaches the true corporation which is a legal body or person which does not die and continues in existence and can hold wealth indefinitely. Indeed, as a form of trust, whilst the individual trustees may die, replacements are appointed and the trust itself continues, ideally indefinitely. In England almost seamless successions were made from patriarch to patriarch, the smoothness of which were often enhanced by baptizing the eldest son and heir with his father's Christian name for several generations, for example the FitzWarin family, all named Fulk. Such indefinite inalienable land-holdings were soon seen as restrictive on the optimum productive ability of land, which was often converted to deer-parks or pleasure grounds by the wealthy tenant-in-possession, which was damaging to the nation as a whole, and thus laws against perpetuities were enacted, which restricted entails to a maximum number of lives. In common law and statutory law, a life estate (or life tenancy) is the ownership of immovable property for the duration of a person's life. In legal terms, it is an estate in real property that ends at death when ownership of the property may revert to the original owner, or it may pass to another person. The owner of a life estate is called a "life tenant". In the combined jurisdiction of England and Wales since 1925 a freehold estate intended to be 'held' as a life interest takes effect only as an interest enjoyed in equity, specifically as an interest in possession trust. The other type of land ownership is leasehold and although most long leases are for a period of between 99 and 999 years 'leases for life' will be interpreted in often unpredictable ways as either as a license or a lease. Principles. The ownership of a life estate is of limited duration because it ends at the death of a person. Its owner is the life tenant (typically also the 'measuring life') and it carries with it the right to enjoy certain benefits of ownership of the property, chiefly income derived from rent or other uses of the property and the right of occupation, during his or her possession. Because a life estate ceases to exist at the death of the measuring person's life, the life tenant, a temporary owner, may short-term let but cannot sell, give or bequeath the property indefinitely (including assuming it could pass to heirs (intestate)) or creating a purported document leaving it to devisees (testate) --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/law-school/support

Napoleon, was he hero or villain? An enlightened genius or supreme egotist? Superb diplomat or an immoral usurper? All of the above? Continuing with Part II of our Napoleon series, we take a closer look into his greatest achievements as well as his greatest mistakes. From his coronation as Emperor at Notre-Dame in 1804 to his loss at Waterloo in 1815, this man's story is seemingly inexhaustible. Has the world ever seen his equal either before or since? We'll leave that for you to decide.Notes:Though buried at St. Helena's when he died in 1821, by 1840 Napoleon's legacy was such that some two decades later he was brought back to France in 1840 with great ceremony of state and placed in the Hotel des Invalides where he still resides.Books:The Congress of Vienna: A Study of Allied Unity: 1812-1822 by Harold NicolsonDictionary of the Napoleonic Wars by David C.

Are great leaders made or just born that way? It seems that in the case of Napoleon, he truly was born to lead. It is said that his troops would have followed him into the gates of hell. But how good or bad was he and what is his legacy? Here in Episode 36, we explore these questions and take a closer look into the early life of Napoleon from his upbringing on the island of Corsica through his early victories in Italy and elsewhere as well as his marriage to Josephine.

May 5 marked the 200th anniversary of Napoleon Bonaparte's death. Following the partitions of Poland in the late 18th century, Poles saw Napoleon as a possible saviour of the Polish nation. In 1807 Napoleon created the Duchy of Warsaw, a client state of France, and gave it a modern constitution, while a year later the Napoleonic Code also was instated. Host John Beauchamp speaks to Marta Tomczak, PhD candidate from Warsaw University, about Napoleon's lasting legacy in Poland.

Scott Alexander recently posted a study showing European municipalities which had the Napoleonic Code imposed upon them did better economically than nearby municipalities which didn't. He uses this to support a contention that radical reform is better than traditional institutions at delivering positive outcomes. My contention is not that we should be looking at narrow metrics of success but rather how radical reform deals with complexity, as opposed to other methods of dealing with complexity like cultural evolution, which seems to be the primary contender to expert led reform in the form of technocracy. All of which is to say that yes, the subject of this episode is very similar to the subject of my previous episodes (book reviews excepted).

Professor and author Alexander Mikaberidze offers an in-depth and informative discussion on the Napoleonic Wars. He explains how Napoleon was able to rise to prominence from relative obscurity during the French Revolution. The professor discusses the aspects of the Revolution that Napoleon embraced even after he became an "enlightened despot." Mikaberidze details the impact that the French invasion of Egypt had on the region we now refer to as the Middle East. He entertains the aspects of the Napoleonic Code that were progressive and how in way Napoleon was a progressive leader. He offers his insight into the Franco-British rivalry and how that helped shape the political, economic, and social aspects of the 19th century world. He explains the sale of Louisiana to the United States and Napoleon view of the American nation. The professor covers the failures and disasters that Napoleon encountered including the Continental System, the Peninsular War, and the Invasion of Russia. He finishes with a description of how Napoleon "escaped" from Elba and reestablished himself in France before he was defeated at Waterloo. The discussion includes the legacy of Napoleon and the impact of his policies, successes, and failures on the 20th century and today.HOST: Rob MellonFEATURED BREW: Li'l Napoleon IPA, Pensacola Bay Brewery, FloridaBOOK: The Napoleonic Wars: A Global Historyhttps://www.amazon.com/Napoleonic-Wars-Global-History/dp/0199951063MUSIC: Bones Forkhttps://bonesfork.com/

357. Part 1 of our interview with Mary Gehman, author of Women in New Orleans. Mary has actively participated in the New Orleans writing community since the 1970s. She was greatly involved in developing Margaret Media, Inc., which was established in 1981 in New Orleans as the publisher of Distaff, a women's monthly newspaper first published in 1972. Although the newspaper, the only one of its kind in the Deep South, ceased publication in 1982, the company president and one of Distaff's founders, Mary Gehman, continued to operate Margaret Media, Inc. to conduct women's history tours of the French Quarter and eventually to publish the book Women and New Orleans in 1988. Her second book, The Free People of Color of New Orleans, was published in 1994, and the third, Louisiana's Great River Road: The Mississippi from Angola North to Venice South in 2003.

Overview In Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, Napoleon Bonaparte is crowned Napoleon I, the first Frenchman to hold the title of emperor in a thousand years. Pope Pius VII handed Napoleon the crown that the 35-year-old conqueror of Europe placed on his own head. The Corsican-born Napoleon, one of the greatest military strategists in history, rapidly rose in the ranks of the French Revolutionary Army during the late 1790s. By 1799, France was at war with most of Europe, and Napoleon returned home from his Egyptian campaign to take over the reigns of the French government and save his nation from collapse. After becoming first consul in February 1800, he reorganized his armies and defeated Austria. In 1802, he established the Napoleonic Code, a new system of French law, and in 1804 he established the French empire. By 1807, Napoleon's empire stretched from the River Elbe in the north, down through Italy in the south, and from the Pyrenees to the Dalmatian coast. Beginning in 1812, Napoleon began to encounter the first significant defeats of his military career, suffering through a disastrous invasion of Russia, losing Spain to the Duke of Wellington in the Peninsula War, and enduring total defeat against an allied force by 1814. Exiled to the island of Elba, he escaped to France in early 1815 and raised a new Grand Army that enjoyed temporary success before its crushing defeat at Waterloo against an allied force under Wellington on June 18, 1815. Napoleon was subsequently exiled to the island of Saint Helena off the coast of Africa, where he lived under house arrest with a few followers. In May 1821, he died, most likely of stomach cancer. He was only 51 years old. In 1840, his body was returned to Paris, and a magnificent funeral was held. Napoleon's body was conveyed through the Arc de Triomphe and entombed under the dome of the Invalides. The French Civil Code The French Civil Code was enacted on March 21, 1804. The Code represents a comprehensive reformation and codification of the French civil law and was considered by Napoleon himself to be one of his most significant achievements. Nowadays it remains a strong legal, sociological and cultural landmark for the French nation. And in spite of some revisions that were introduced later, the Napoleonic code is still very applicable in the French Republic and Law today. Was Napoleon a force for good, or evil? Napoleon had a vision for Europe and he succeeded in making that vision a reality, at least for a while. Whether he was a saviour of the people or a war-mad megalomaniac might simply be down to the loudest propaganda. Whatever else, he was an enigma, and someone who will continue to fascinate, inspire and disgust down the generations.

We were busy preparing our live show this past weekend, so we took a brief hiatus from making new main episodes. However, to ensure your Current Affairs fix was satisfied, we wanted to unlock one bonus episode each week. We will be back with regularly scheduled main episodes next week! This week, unlocked from the patreon bird feed, to the main feed: Amusements editor Lyta Gold and senior editor Brianna Rennix discuss myths with Classics scholar Daniel Walden, who recently wrote in the magazine about how the whole concept of “Western civilization" is a myth. Tune in to learn about why the myth of dragons may be a lefty one, why Jordan Peterson is confused about myths, what an anti-pope is, what myths can teach us about national origin stories, the purpose of trickster gods, and more. Also, read Brianna's recent essay on the myth of the death of Europe. Many thanks to Harrison Montgomery (@AugmentFourth) for help with edits and audio gags. Factual correction from early point in the conversation, according to Nathan, our resident Louisianan: "Louisiana law is not actually based on the Napoleonic Code! This itself is a myth. The Louisiana Purchase in 1803 and the Napoleonic Code doesn't come into effect in 1804. We are still based on weird old French civil law. Even though every single local says Louisiana's based on the Napoleonic Code, technically we are based on whatever it was that existed in France before Napoleon fixed it."

People often come into our estate planning law firm with stacks of United States Savings Bonds, and they don't know how to handle them for estate planning or estate administration purposes. U.S. Savings Bonds make their way into our office under two typical scenarios: (1) An individual or couple is getting legal affairs in order and they don't know what to do with their stack of savings bonds; or (2) A loved one has died and the loved one owned a stack of U.S. Savings Bonds, and the survivors don't know what to do with the bonds. Estate planning in Louisiana can be more complicated that estate planning for residents of other states. We have community property, forced heirship, the Napoleonic Code, and we don't recognize certain forms of ownership (like Joint Tenants with Rights of Survivorship). But as far as U.S. Savings Bonds go, Louisiana is similar to all of the other states. Here's a rundown of rules that apply to adult owners of United States Savings Bonds: (1) One owner. When the one owner dies, the bond is part of the owner's estate. Probate (or "Succession") will be necessary to redeem the bond. (2) Two people named on the bond and one has died. The surviving person is considered the owner. (3) Two people are named on the bond and both have died. The bond is part of the estate of the person who died last. Some people, for probate avoidance or asset protection purposes, wish to transfer their bonds to a trust during their lifetime. FS Form 1851 (revised in January 2018) permits individuals to have their bonds reissued in the name of a trust. When the government reissues a Series EE or Series I savings bond, it no longer provides a paper bond. The reissued bond is in electronic form in the governments online system called TreasuryDirect.

Judah Philip Benjamin was born August 6, 1811 on St. Croix in the Danish West Indies (DWI, now the US Virgin Islands) to Jewish parents. At the time of his birth, his family was in transit from England to America. However, due to the War of 1812, they were forced to settle in the DWI until the war ended. They finally arrived in America in 1814, settling in Charleston, South Carolina. An exemplary student, young Judah, at the age of 14, entered Yale University. Two years later he was expelled for “ungentlemanly conduct” of an unspecified nature. Rumors that the tempest in New Haven involved gambling, carousing, or kleptomania that dogged him the rest of his life, particularly during the Civil War when the Northern press rehashed the scandal to tar the man they called the South’s “evil genius.”  In 1852, he was elected United States Senator, a post he retained until the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861 when he resigned to serve the Confederacy. He was the first Confederate Attorney General who later served as Secretary of War and Secretary of State, ultimately running the Confederate Secret Service on behalf of Confederate President Jefferson Davis. Eventually, he moved to New Orleans where he apprenticed at a law firm. He began to study for the bar, a complicated course of action because, to become a lawyer in Louisiana, the state’s use of the Napoleonic Code required fluency in both English and French. In order to fulfill this requirement, he took a job teaching English to the daughter of a prominent Creole family, Natalie St. Martin, so that he could learn French.

Napoleon Bonaparte was one of the great military leaders of all time. His military campaigns are still studied at military academies around the world. Napoleon was the Emperor of France from 1804 to 1814. The Napoleonic Code has influenced civil law jurisdictions worldwide. Napoleon made many enemies along the way, and if you recall your history, you remember that he was defeated at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 and spent the last six years of his life in a British prison on the island of St. Helena.

Only in a place like France do the texts and theories of towering intellectual figures like Claude Levi-Strauss and Jacques Lacan come up in public and political discussions of family policy and law. Camille Robcis‘s new book, The Law of Kinship: Anthropology, Psychoanalysis, and the Family in France (Cornell University Press, 2013) was in part inspired by contemporary French references to structural anthropology and psychoanalysis in contentious debates (within and outside of the National Assembly) about things like same-sex marriage, reproduction, and homosexual adoption. The book is a fascinating political, legal, and intellectual history that takes readers from the Napoleonic Code of 1804 right up to major French societal rifts over the family in recent years. Examining the work of early “familialists” who argued for the family as essential to “the social”, Robcis goes on to read Levi-Strauss and Lacan in relationship to ideas and policies dealing with the family in broader political and legal context in France. The book also illuminates the roles of key French “bridge-figures” who translated complex structuralist and psychoanalytic ideas about kinship and “the symbolic”, bringing these notions into more widespread political and public discourse. This is a history with important implications for how we understand contemporary struggles over French republicanism, universalism, and what defines the family in terms both theoretical and practical.
