Jus Academicum: Or A Defense Of The Peculiar Jurisdiction is a book written by an anonymous author who identifies themselves only as ""A Person Concerned."" The book was first published in 1722 and is a defense of the unique legal jurisdiction held by academic institutions, particularly universities.The author argues that universities have a distinct legal status that allows them to exercise certain powers and privileges that are not available to other institutions or individuals. These powers include the ability to regulate their own affairs, to discipline their members, and to enforce their own rules and regulations.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the legal jurisdiction held by universities. The author begins by discussing the origins of this jurisdiction and its historical development, before moving on to examine its practical application in various legal cases.Throughout the book, the author makes use of legal and historical references to support their arguments, and engages with the criticisms and objections that have been raised against the peculiar jurisdiction of universities. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both legal professionals and lay readers.Overall, Jus Academicum: Or A Defense Of The Peculiar Jurisdiction is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the legal status of academic institutions and the unique powers they hold.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
