7 Comp. Legal Hist. 1 (2019)

handle is hein.journals/clehory7 and id is 1 raw text is: Comparative Legal History, 2019 5) Routledge Vol. 7, No. 1, 1, https://doi.org/10.1080/2049677X.2019.1614260 a Taylor&Fracis Group Preface This issue of Comparative Legal History marks the tenth anniversary of the Euro- pean Society for Comparative Legal History (ESCLH). The Society was founded on 5 December 2009 in The Hague, and ESCLH held its first biannual conference in the following year in Valencia. The ESCLH started to publish this journal in 2013, and other activities - such as blogs, doctoral courses and publications - have been continuously added to the list. In this issue, the first President of the ESCLH, Aniceto Masferrer, describes how, during the past decade, a dream of a few activists grew into an important international organization, which unites com- parative legal historians worldwide. The present issue includes two stimulating articles on themes which both once again show legal history's growing global dimension. Shimon-Erez Blum's article is about the role of 'cause lawyers' in Mandatory Palestine and adds to Compara- tive Legal History 's contribution to understanding the history of the legal pro- fession. In another exciting article, Nadeera Rupesinghe writes about the oath in the eighteenth-century Dutch colonial Sri Lanka. She shows how a study of a see- mingly mundane judicial institution can sometimes lead to gaining 'deeper insights into the functioning of pluralistic and colonial law'. In addition to the articles, we have, as always, a rich selection of book reviews. We hope you will join us for us another decade of growth and scholarship, and invite you to become a member if you are not already (see http://esclh.blogspot.fi/ p/membership-information.html).
