Greek Law
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Greek law evolved as a necessary means by which to regulate society's behavior. What had up until then been left up to the whims of each individual to handle on his own was now a product of fair and sensible legal procedure. It can be argued that there was, indeed, a great need for such a show of order in that there existed no modicum of conformity when it came to retribution. As Greek law continued to be established, it also became an integral component of other areas of life, branching out into political and social implications. The writer discusses Greek Law in relation to the Sumerians; Egyptians; Hebraics; Hellenics; the Classical, Roman and Christian periods; as well as Cicero, Augustine, Plato and Aristotle. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Augustinian Laws And Women
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. The philosophy in question is that of Augustinianism, the theory of Christian Idealism, which is based upon the theology of Augustine of Hippo (354-430) who is considered to be the greatest theologian of the early church. His theory is that of reality, absolute theism. Reality is God, who is Being. Being is good; non-Being is evil. He wrote that God has personality and gives reality to phenomena. As the Supreme Person, God exercises perfect will by which the world is created from nothing. The writer discusses how there were significant patriarchal underpinnings when it came to the treatment of women under Roman law, which effectively forced the female gender into a life of prostitution. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Contract Law.
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) Even though we have been buying and selling in one way or another throughout the history of the United States, commercial contract law as a formal entity is less than a hundred years old. Prior to that time individual states might determine what constituted a contract, but that might very from state to state. However as states began dealing with each other in a contractual manner, or as business cross state lines more and more, some sort of uniform body of law was needed concerning commerce. This was done in the forties and labeled the uniform commercial code (Dehrer-Wendt ppg). Let's see if there are any differences in individual contract law. What themes might apply?
