- Title
What Is in a Name?: "Our French Law".
- Authors
HANLEY, SARAH
- Abstract
The article discusses the contributions of French jurist and chancellor Michel de L'Hôpital to the development of French legal theory in the 16th century. It offers a critique of the article "Civil Law and Civil War: Michel de L'Hôpital and the Ideals of Legal Unification in Sixteenth-Century France" by Marie Seong-Hak Kim, published elsewhere in the same issue. Questions involving the extent to which L'Hôpital's efforts to codify and harmonize conflicts in French law can be said to constitute a project of legal unification are addressed.
