According to the accepted legal theory, the American colonists
claimed the English common law as their birthright, brought with
them its general principles and adopted so much of it as was
applicable to their condition. Although this theory is universally
adopted by the courts, a close study of the subject reveals among
the early colonists a far different attitude toward the common law
from that which is usually attributed to them. In none of the
colonies, perhaps, was this more marked than in early
Massachusetts. Here the binding force of English law was denied,
and a legal system largely different came into use. It is the
purpose of this work to trace the development of that system during
the period of the first charter.

Reprint of the third and final edition. "Having observed in the
Course of our English History many Attempts made (by the Ministers
of some artful and designing Princes) to weaken and undermine the
ancient, legal, and fundamental Rights, Liberties, and Privileges
of the City and Citizens of London: i thought myself obliged to
Endeavor to collect and ascertain such Laws, Customs, and Usages of
the said City, Wherein the Original Constitution and Foundation of
its Government seem to have been laid; and whereby its Happiness,
Opulency, and Glory do (under God and his present Majesty)
evidently subsist." (Preface). Though little is known about him
personally, Bohun was an attorney and prolific author who published
well-received treatises on legal education, pleading,
ecclesiastical law and other subjects.

Properties of Law is a legal-theoretical analysis about modern
state law; about sociality, normativity and plurality as its
properties, and what will come after modern state law. The main
objective of this study is to offer a legal theoretical
recapitulation of modern state law that avoids the fallacies of
Legal Positivism. This calls for a relationist approach where law's
sociality is related to normativity, and normativity to sociality.
Avoiding Legal Positivism's fallacies also includes refraining from
extrapolating from modern state law to law in general; replacing
Legal Positivism's conceptual universalism with sensitivity to the
varieties of law, and acknowledging that law existed before modern
state law, that it will exist after modern state law, and that
other law exists alongside modern state law. The book concludes
with a discussion of the impact of digitalization on law.

The Manual for Courts-Martial (MCM), United States (2012 Edition)
updates the MCM (2008 Edition). It is a complete reprinting and
incorporates the MCM (2008 Edition), including all amendments to
the Rules for Courts-Martial, Military Rules of Evidence (Mil. R.
Evid.), and Punitive Articles made by the President in Executive
Orders (EO) from 1984 to present, and specifically including EO
13468 (24 July 2008); EO 13552 (31 August 2010); and EO 13593 (13
December 2011). See Appendix 25. This edition also contains
amendments to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) made by
the National Defense Authorization Acts for Fiscal Years 2009
through 2012. Some of the significant changes are summarized and
listed below. This summary is for quick reference only and should
not be relied upon or cited by practitioners in lieu of the actual
provisions of the MCM that have been amended. The MCM (2012
Edition) includes unique changes warranting attention. Discussion
has been added or amended to address changes in practice resulting
from United States v. Campbell, 71 M.J. 19 (C.A.A.F. 2012); United
States v. Fosler, 70 M.J. 225 (C.A.A.F. 2011); and United States v.
Jones, 68 M.J. 465 (C.A.A.F. 2010). See R.C.M. 307(c)(3); R.C.M.
307(c)(4); R.C.M. 906(b)(12); R.C.M. 907(b)(3)(B); R.C.M.
910(a)(1); R.C.M. 918(a)(1); R.C.M. 1003(c)(1)(C); and in Part IV
of this Manual, paragraph 3b, paragraph 60c(6)(a), and the
discussion at page IV-1. The Discussion added in 2012 was a
short-term solution intended to address recent, broad changes in
the law. Although it may describe legal requirements derived from
other sources, the Discussion does not have the force of law. It is
in the nature of a treatise, and may be used as secondary
authority. The Discussion will be revised from time to time as
warranted by changes in applicable law. See Composition of the
Manual for Courts-Martial in Appendix 21 of this Manual.
Practitioners are advised that the Mil. R. Evid. will be amended
after the publication of this Manual and will take effect only
after the President signs the relevant EO. Once approved, the
revised Mil. R. Evid. will exist outside of this Manual until its
next complete reprinting. Practitioners are also advised that
Article 120 has been amended by the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2012, Public Law 112-81, 31 December 2011. The
amended version of Article 120 creates three separate sexual
offense statutes: Article 120 for adult offenses; Article 120b for
child offenses; and Article 120c for other sexual offenses. Article
120a remains unchanged. As of 2012, there are now three versions of
Article 120, and each version is located in a different part of
this Manual. For offenses committed prior to 1 October 2007, the
relevant sexual offense provisions are contained in Appendix 27.
For offenses committed during the period 1 October 2007 through 27
June 2012, the relevant sexual offense provisions are contained in
Appendix 28. For offenses committed on or after 28 June 2012, the
relevant sexual offense provisions are contained in Part IV of this
Manual (Articles 120, 120b, and 120c).
