- Belgium is a small but complex country with an interesting and uniquelegal culture. It lies on the historical vault between Germanic and Romanic Europe, as a result of which the country has three different languages (respectively Dutch andGerman versus French) and two main populations, Flemish and French-speaking Belgians. Originally a unitary state, Belgium has transformed into a federal state through successive state reforms, with the new Constitutional Court as an arbiter between the different entities, which are all equal and without hierarchy. This in its turn has resulted in two emerging subcultures that are slowly but steadily drifting apart. Internationalization and Europeanization are adding some layer to the already complex mosaic of cultural diversity in this small jurisdiction at the very centre of Europe. Historically and as an offspring of the French legal culture, the Belgian legalculture is a civil law system with a set of (originally Napoleonic) codifications and a rational judicial system. The organization of the judiciary and the application of lawsin many ways reflect the ideal of law and justice in Belgium: accessible, tailor-made, specialized, and sufficiently flexible to include considerations of individual justice, with the necessary checks and balances. Just like the French legal culture, the Belgian legal culture is strictly legally positivistic and has a high degree of professionalization.

- Die Geschichte der Konfliktlösung war in der belgischen (rechts-)historischen Forschung lange Zeit ein eher vernachlässigtes Thema. Seit den 1990er Jahren ist eine Verbesserung eingetreten, dank der Arbeiten von Ernst Holthöfer, des belgischen Staatsarchivs und leider auch dank der „Affaire Dutroux“. Dies hat zu einem verstärkten Interesse an der Justiz und ihrer Geschichte geführt. Im Jahr 2004 veröffentlichten (Rechts-)Historiker eine politische und soziale Geschichte der belgischen Justiz hieraus hervor gingen das staatlich finanzierte interdisziplinäre Forschungsnetzwerk „Justiz und Gesellschaft: politische und soziale Geschichte der Justizverwaltung in Belgien (1795-2005)“ und sein Nachfolger „Justiz und Bevölkerung – die belgischen Erfahrungen in internationaler Perspektive (1795-2015)“. Auf diese Weise wurden verschiedenste Aspekte der Geschichte der gerichtlichen Konfliktlösung untersucht. Die Geschichte der Mediation, der Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit und der außergerichtlichen Konfliktlösung wird dagegen eher vernachlässigt.

- This chapter analyses the institutional history of legal aid in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Belgium, exploring the distinction between two different aspects of legal aid: the exemption from procedural costs and legal assistance by lawyers. The possibility of having procedural costs exempted has its roots in the Dutch period (1815–1830). The foundations of the modern system of legal aid, in turn, were laid by Napoleon at the turn of the nineteenth century. He required the bar associations to install an Office of Free Consultations where the poor could go for free legal advice. From early on, the Office only appointed trainee lawyers to assist the poor. During the nineteenth century, legal aid was understood to be a public charity service (pro Deo) and therefore it was completely free. Over the course of the twentieth century, lawyers’ attitudes changed and they began charging fees to the poor. In 1980, the state intervened and provided financial remuneration for legal assistance by lawyers (pro Pecunia). In 1994, legal aid became a constitutional right. This led to fundamental changes and perhaps to an overconsumption of legal assistance, which the state has been trying to rectify in recent years.

Jo(o)s heeft het geweten! : In het spoor van het plagiaat van Joos De Damhouder

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- AbstractIn the 16th century, Joos De Damhouder (1507-1581) engaged in plagiarism by drawing extensively from the writings of his compatriot Filips Wielant (1439-1519). This remained obscure for several centuries, affording De Damhouder the opportunity to establish an international reputation as a preeminent legal scholar, whereas Wielant’s contributions languished in relative obscurity. However, in the latter half of the 19th century, scholars succeeded in unearthing the plagiarism, igniting considerable controversy and scholarly discourse on the matter. This revelation had profound repercussions, leading to a tarnishing of De Damhouder’s once-pristine reputation. Subsequent generations of legal historians undertook investigations into this matter. In recent years, a nuanced reevaluation of De Damhouder’s standing has transpired.
