This book is a major contribution to our understanding of the role played by law(s) in the British Empire. Using a variety of interdisciplinary approaches, the authors provide in-depth analyses which shine new light on the role of law in creating the people and places of the British Empire. Ranging from the United States, through Calcutta, across Australasia to the Gold Coast, these essays seek to investigate law's central place in the British Empire, and the role of its agents in embedding British rule and culture in colonial territories. One of the first collections to provide a sustained engagement with the legal histories of the British Empire, in particular beyond the settler colonies, this work aims to encourage further scholarship and new approaches to the writing of the histories of that Empire. Legal Histories of the British Empire: Laws, Engagements and Legacies will be of value not only to legal scholars and graduate students, but of interest to all of those who want to know more about the laws in and of the British Empire.

This book takes its cue from the observation that jurisdiction -
as the speech of law - articulates or proclaims law. Without
jurisdiction the law would be speechless, without authority and
authorisation. So too would be critics who approach the law or want
to live lawfully. As a field of legal knowledge and legal practice,
jurisdiction is concerned with the modes of authority and the
manner of the authorisation of law. It encompasses the broadest
questions of the authority and the founding of legal order as well
as the minutest detail of the ordering of the business of the
administration and adjudication of justice. It gives us both the
point of articulation of law and the technological means of the
expression of law. It gives us too, the understanding of the limits
of the authority of law, as well as the resources for engaging with
the plurality of laws, and the means of engaging in lawful
behaviour. A critical approach to law through the forms of
authority and action in law provides a means of engaging with the
quality of relations created and maintained through law and a means
of taking responsibility for the practices of jurisdiction (and
what is done in the name of the law).

This book provides a critical, and historically grounded, elaboration of the key themes of jurisdiction. It does so by offering students and scholars of law a form of critical engagement with the technologies, devices and forms of jurisdictional ordering. It shows how the common has authorised legal relations and bound persons, places, and events to the body of law. It offers a number of resources and engagements of jurisdiction on the basis that a jurisprudence of jurisdiction, if it is anything, engages forms of human relation.
