Oxford Companion to Law in United Kingdom

There is also an Oxford Companion to American Law.

This legal encyclopaedia is a concise overview of a subject in law – not confined to English law, since there are many entries devoted to European Union law.

Original Oxford Companion to Law Review

Review of A F Rodger, “Good companion?” Oxford J Legal Studies (1981) 1 (2): 257-2647):
“The Oxford Companion to Law is an extraordinary production. Including appendices, it runs
to 1365 pages, all written by one man.(…) The amount of reading required must have been vast and one can well imagine that the staff of Glasgow University Library worked hard to
earn the author’s thoughtful dedication of the work to that Library.

Is it then a good companion? The immediate answer is ‘Yes’. It is excellent value at 417.5o and has the same kind of fascination as the Guinness Book of Records. Odd facts and strange names crowd every page. The articles are concise enough not to weary even the most grasshopperish of minds. So, if one of the hallmarks of a good companion is that he entertains, this book succeeds. But it seeks to do more than merely to entertain. The dust-jacket tells us that the Companion will be useful for teachers and students of law, readers in the fields of
history, philosophy, politics and government-‘and indeed all who in their work or reading come across legal references’. The idea seems to be to give gobbets of information which will be sufficient to allow these readers, looking at topics beyond their usual range of expertise, to appreciate a reference, term or allusion.

Perhaps only time and experience will show how successful the Companion has been in achieving these aims. But the omens are propitious. The range of topics is large (though Rumpole has not made it-perhaps he is still too much of a parvenu) and the entries are, on the whole, clearly written. Whilst most are brief, some stretch to several pages. But these longer articles deal with topics such as ‘Law’ or ‘English Law’ or ‘Jurisprudence’ to which whole libraries could be devoted. Paradoxically it is these longer articles which may at first sight appear most hopelessly inadequate. The problem is of course endemic in all the Oxford Companions. What can really be learned from a few lines on Verdi in the Oxford Companion to Music? What can be said about English Law in sixteen pages? The answer in each case is perhaps: ‘Enough for present purposes’. A great deal of basic information is gathered and a reader who would perhaps not know which separate entry to consult may find at least a signpost in these more general articles.”

The New Oxford Companion to Law Review

Review published in the Edinburgh Law Review. Volume 13, Issue 2, Page 340-341, Ross Gilbert Anderson, University of Glasgow

The Original Oxford Companion to Law

“In the present era of specialisation,” wrote Lord Rodger of the original Companion to Law,
published in 1980 and the sole work of David M Walker, “perhaps only Professor Walker
would have dared to write what amounts to a mini-encyclopaedia of law, dealing not merely
with English law, but Scots, Roman, Irish, American, German, French, Swiss, South African
and many other systems besides” (A F Rodger, “Good companion?” Oxford J Legal Studies (1981) 1 (2): 257-2647).

The original Companion is a unique work. I would call it a classic – a mine of golden legality
whose nuggets can be sourced elsewhere only with difficulty. And although, as Lord Rodger
pointed out, there are impurities, idiosyncrasies or flaws, call them what you will, they are
easily tolerated: the original Companion is a first port of call, not the terminus, on any voyage
of obscure legal research.

If the original Companion was the product of a certain generation, so too is the New
Companion. The New Companion is rather like New Labour. The approach has moved away
from details (arbitrarily selected) to themes (still arbitrarily selected). The content is more
broad-brush and, to this reviewer’s heathen palate, on occasion somewhat bland. But that may
be an unfair criticism for a handsome volume intended for the non-lawyer. When (if) I pick
up the Oxford Companion to Cosmology or the Oxford Companion to Women’s Writing in
the United States, I might prefer a volume like that produced by Cane and Conaghan to the
Miscellany-at-Law (without the wit) compiled by Walker.

Scots Law

But the New Companion may still be an occasion for a Scottish lament. The original
Companion is an important repository (a good Walker-word) of little-known details of Scots
law, and many other legal systems besides. The editors of the New Companion, in the Preface,
accept that “‘Anglo-centrism’ is disrespectful and can be seriously misleading . . . However
lawyers are typically expert in the law of only one jurisdiction and we have not always been able
to ensure that the relevant differences between the laws of the various UK jurisdictions have
been recorded.” Where Scots law was perhaps over-represented in the original Companion, it
has now been relegated, along with much else non-English, to a few short, generic headings,
although these headings are, I should add, first-class. (One serious defect in a multi-authored
work such as this is the lack of a table detailing each contributor’s entries, so it is difficult to
identify all the entries by Scottish contributors.)

Sociopolitical Content

The point is not limited to Scotland, for while
the Scots lawyer turning to the New Companion for an explanation of obscure legal terms
will search in vain, so too will lawyers from other legal systems, England included. The New
Companion records the shift in the world of legal science from the scholarship of the doctrinal
drudge to the -ologies and -isms of the twenty-first century socio-legal landscape. Academic
lawyers (and the contributors are overwhelmingly academics) are no longer concerned with
details of (private) legal practice, but with theory, and theories that are overwhelmingly sociopolitical.
An obvious shift from private law to public law is also reflected in the content of the
New Companion.

Other issues

One criticism Lord Rodger made of the original was that some foreign language works were
misspelled. A simple solution has been found to this problem: the New Companion is entirely
monoglot. Walker’s more esoteric entries are entirely excised. And so too are many entries on
the more mundane: Pandectists, Romanists and almost all Latin or Norman-French phrases.

Strangely, however, for a work that is aimed at the layman, many “further reading” references
are to secondary literature in specialist journals. Most unfortunately of all, however, the New
Companion has dispensed with one of the most useful features of the original: the appendices.
Again, it is unlikely that the layman will want to know, say, how many times Lord Lyndhurst
was Lord Chancellor. But, for the specialist, these tables were of considerable assistance.

In the preface to the original, Walker proffered the apology that it was “beyond possibility”
that the Companion did not contain errors. For the leisure-time labour of one man, such
errors were inevitable and some were highlighted in Rodger’s eight-page review. But replacing
the idiosyncrasies of a single author with a team of hundreds has brought its own difficulties
and, indeed, the occasional howler: perusing the entry on “Donoghue v Stevenson (1932)”
(344–345) the reader double-takes at the sentence stating that Mrs Donoghue “raised a claim
for damages in the (Scottish) Court of Justiciary”. A claim for damages in the criminal court
would indeed merit an entry in the Oxford Companion, perhaps under a new heading on
“Incompetency”. As an aside, it is interesting to observe that many of Rodger’s apposite
criticisms appear to have been rejected by the present contributors. Posterity, in the guise
of the New Companion, has not preferred the “wise opinions of Lord Justice-Clerk Thomson”
to the “more showy productions of Lord Cooper”: Cooper makes the short-list of “Judges,
distinguished” (650); such recognition continues to elude Lord Thomson.

The original Companion is popular in small circles. The New Companion, in contrast, is
much more accessible: to the layman, to the law student, to the (non-lawyer) legal practitioner,
or to whomsoever else, in the post-Clementi world, the public must now turn for vindication
of their rights. Perhaps some lawyers may also find it useful, if not particularly interesting.

But if the original Companion is destined to remain a book for the specialist legal researcher,
the New Companion will instead function as Oxford Companions should: as an introduction
for the intelligent layman who can reach for it from his own shelves. To these readers, the
New Companion is warmly commended. To those of a more antiquarian or idiosyncratic bent,
however, the publication of the New Companion has its own advantage: affordable second-hand copies of the original have become more readily available.
