ProfessorWolfgang Sellert,University of Göttingen, is the doyen within the research and the study of the Aulic Council, the other of the two Imperial Courts in the Roman Holy Empire. He talked on new findings in his research about the emperors’ influences regarding their imperial jurisdictions: ”Imperial Control of theAulic Council and the Imperial Chamber Court: Law and reality”.

Professor Jean-Louis Halpérin, École Normale Supérieure, Paris, delivered his talk in written form: ”The Legacy of the Parliament of Paris in the Longue Durée”. He emphasized on the importance of the Parliament of Paris in Early modern times and its judiciary – the noblesse de robe – were ”heirs of a ’legist’ tradition” and at the same time not at all ”closed to the ideas of reforming law according the ideas of natural reason”.
