The Simbur Cahaya Bangkahulu Constitutional Law was enacted in Bengkulu in 1862 during the reign of assistant resident J. Walland. This law was originally named Piagem Ratu Sinuhun (1639-1650) which was drafted together with ministers and Islamic Religious Figure (Ulama). Some of its contents are taken from the Javanese law which is called Simboer Tjahaja Karta Ampat Bitjara Lima. This study used qualitative research by combining library research and field research. For data collection techniques, in this case it has been analyzed from various available sources or other information related to the study of the concept of local wisdom in the community and as a source of legal education in Islamic higher education research institutions. Based on the results of research that has been done, this law was named the Sindang Marga Law during the reign of Sultan Palembang Darussalam Abdurrahman and changed to the Simbur Cahaya Law during the reign of the Dutch East Indies. When compared between the criminal law of the Criminal Code (Dutch Heritage) with Islamic law, customary law and law of Majapahit kingdom, it turns out that the law we use does not pay attention to the interests and material rights or personal property rights of the victim. Meanwhile, the crime in the Simbur Cahaya Bangkahulu Law requires the perpetrator or the convicted person to return the loss to the victim. So that values in customary law that are still relevant and more just should be used as a source of national law.

AbstractSystem avoidance is a concept that individual contact with the criminal legal system causes avoidance of other social institutions. Negative attitudes about the criminal legal system and subsequent mistrust in healthcare systems or providers have only been studied in adults. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore the association between healthcare utilization and youth-reported negative criminal legal attitudes stratified by gender and race in adolescents. Adolescents from the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study self-reported attitudes involving legal cynicism, police legitimacy, and healthcare utilization. Logistic regressions were estimated to examine the associations between youth-reported criminal legal attitudes involving legal cynicism and police legitimacy, healthcare utilization, and sociodemographics. Only among non-white girls were negative criminal legal attitudes significantly associated with reduced likelihood of healthcare utilization during the previous 12 months (aOR = 0.55, p ≤ 0.01). Negative criminal legal attitudes in non-white girls reduced the odds of healthcare utilization, which supports the concept of system avoidance of institutions. This has implications for policymakers as they enact laws on crime and surveillance, especially in minority communities, as views on the criminal legal institution can impact other facets of life. More research is needed to directly explore this relationship beyond cross-sectional studies.

The theme of responsibility has grown considerably during the twentieth century. Legal professionals, whose lawyer , have not escaped this trend. Renowned in good faith , the lawyer was assured held liable solely on the basis of gross negligence or deceit.The use of these concepts was essential for it to be sentenced , thus restricting any appeal against it to the pure case study. Ethic ensured the integrity of the lawyer, and was a real obstacle to the idea of any responsibility towards the customer. His responsibility was limited to disciplinary field. But this is gone.

Le recours à ces notions était indispensable pour qu'il soit inquiété, restreignant ainsi tout recours à son encontre au pur cas d'école. La déontologie, garantie de l'intégrité de l'avocat formait comme un écran, véritable obstacle à l'idée de toute responsabilité à l'égard du client. Ce n'est que face à ses pairs que le professionnel pouvait avoir à rendre des comptes ou dans le cadre d'éventuels délits d'audience. Sa responsabilité était ainsi limitée au plan disciplinaire. Ces temps sont aujourd'hui révolus. Se basant sur la déontologie, le juge et le législateur entendent encadrer les nouvelles activités de l'avocat et ont mis au jour différentes obligations sur le plan civil comme pénal. Désormais,l'avocat répond de son activité sur le plan civil, pénal et disciplinaire.

This article proposes a mode of analysis drawing from historical institutionalism and American political development but that is generated more organically from within the study of law. This approach, legal archaeology, focuses on the production of legal discourse while attending to the institutional boundaries and conditions around this production. Legal archaeology is particularly useful for understanding the role of law in constructing subordinated identities. Illuminating legal struggles over the boundaries of subordinated identities facilitates consideration of how subordination is institutionalized, though archaeology maintains legal institutions at the center of the analysis. The article concludes with examples of the analysis. Adapted from the source document.

The contributions to this book have discussed various legal aspects of the phenomenon of integrated administration in the EU and have contributed to developing a better understanding of the legal framework thereof. This has not been a simple task, not least because the founding treaties had not provided for a legal framework for this administrative integration. It was due to the evolutionary and diversified development of forms of integrated administration, that many new and unforeseen legal problems have arisen. They are often the result of forms of non-hierarchic, network-like structures and procedures of administrative cooperation in the EU. Across policy areas a general tendency can be observed of integrating a multitude of administrative actors from different jurisdictions in joint procedures. This often results in a mix of legal systems' rules being applicable to a single administrative procedure.
