Semaine de Droit Normand 1954

Author(s): Scholars associated with the Département de Droit, Université de Caen

Title: Compte rendu de La Semaine de Droit Normand, 1954

Remarks:

The Séminaire de Droit Normand was founded by Professors C.A.F. Astoul (1863-1929) and Robert Généstal (1872-1931) of the Université de Caen in 1908 and revived in 1921. The comptes rendu of the Séminaire's regularly held conferences, usually published in the Revue historique de droit français et étranger, or (more recently) the Annales de Normandie, describe academic contributions to the conferences in a few paragraphs, somewhat shorter than an article, but particularly valuable where no article resulted. Full proceedings (travaux) were published after the Semaines held in Jersey (1923) and in Guernsey (1927, 1938). This compte rendu reports, amongst others, papers given at Rouen in 1954 by John le Patourel on the political definition of the Angevin Empire; E. Vivier on rights to pews; Michel de Boüard on Scandinavian settlement; and A. Darsel on Norman admiralty jurisdiction. Edition(s): Series, 1921 - .
