Christiaan Hendrik Pots (also: Christian Heinrich Pots ; * September 1703 in Kolberg ; † June 17, 1773 in Utrecht ) was a German-Dutch legal scholar.

Life

The son of the secretary of the salt industry, Johann Defiance, had received a school education in Königsberg and at the grammar school in Danzig. On February 27, 1722 he enrolled as a law student at the University of Halle , where Justus Henning Böhmer , Johann Peter von Ludewig , Nikolaus Hieronymus Gundling , Simon Peter Gasser , Ludwig Philipp Thümming (1697–1728) and Christian Wolf were his formative teachers . After further studies at the University of Leipzig and the University of Marburg , he enrolled at the University of Utrecht under the rectorate led by Pieter van Musschenbroek in 1729 . He continued his literary studies under Karl Andreas Duker and Arnold Drakenborch and his legal studies under Cornelis van Eck and Everard Otto . On June 8, 1730 he received his doctorate under Otto with the legal treatise de termino moto to the doctor of law.

He then worked as a lecturer in Utrecht, wrote a number of legal works at that time and switched from the Evangelical Lutheran Church to the Evangelical Reformed Church in order to pave his way to a Dutch chair. After he had already been considered for a professorship at the University of Harderwijk in 1736 , Spy received an appointment as professor of civil law at the University of Franeker on June 17, 1741 , which he did on October 9 of the same year with the speech de libertate sentiendi dicendique Ictis propria (Franeker 1741) began. In his training he included lectures on private and public law. He was fond of Dutch law and earned some merit in its development. Therefore, on March 18, 1743, the Franek curators gave him the professorship of Dutch constitutional law.

Important lawyers such as Simon Binckes (1731–1786), Henricus Johannes Arntzenius (1734–1794) and Peter Bondam (1727–1800) went through his school later . After he was given the rectorate of the Franeker Hochschule in 1751, he resigned it on October 2, 1752 with the speech de immortalitate legum instauratoris Wilhelmi IV (Franeker 1752). On December 9, 1754 the curators of the Utrecht University appointed him professor of Belgian civil law and public law, which he took on on April 22, 1755 and followed on June 2 of the same year with the treatise De jure publico Belgici . In addition, on August 16, 1756, he was made professor of feudal law. In this capacity, he was also given the rectorate of the Utrecht alma mater in 1757/58 , which he resigned with the speech pro feudis patriis praecipue ad exemplum Zutphaniensium fundatis (Utrecht 1758).

Despite being the first legal scholar, he dealt extensively with Dutch constitutional law and the various treaties that preceded the later constitution of the Netherlands .
