Abstract :
[en] This entry provides a detailed and systematic account of mixed courts of the colonial era, which were a form of domestic courts with international participation established between the first half of the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century in non-Western polities. Serving as an alternative to consular jurisdiction in countries where Western states were unwilling to accept the jurisdiction of ordinary local courts over their nationals or their nationals’ interests, these courts blended domestic and international features.
