This collection of papers from the Twentieth British Legal History
Conference explores the relationship between substantive law and
the way in which it actually worked. Instead of looking at what the
courts said they were doing, it is concerned more with the reality
of what was happening. To that end, the authors use a wide range of
sources, from court records to merchants' diaries and lawyers'
letters. The way in which the sources are used reflects the
possibilities of legal historical research which are opening up in
the twenty-first century, as large databases and digitised images -
and even online auction sites - make it a practical possibility to
do work at a level which was almost unthinkable only a short time
ago.
