Life

The son of Conrad Cock and Bartha Lamberts, comes from a family that bore the name Coccejus and came from Bremen. After his birth, his parents moved to Deventer in 1802/3 , where he attended the Latin School and on October 4, 1810 the Illustrious School. He then moved to Utrecht University , where he enrolled on January 6, 1816. Hermann Arntzenius and Cornelis Willem de Rhoer in particular were his formative teachers. Spurred on by the latter, he participated in three academic award questions. He published the first in Utrecht in 1818 and dealt with legal history and institutes under the title Dissertatio de Alea (Utrecht 1819). In the same year a treatise on various theories of constitutional law followed in Groningen under the title Commentatio de fine poenis proposito, cum ex rei veritate, tum ex doctrina J Ctorum Romanorum (Groningen 1818) and in Leiden in 1821 a treatise Commentatio de Judiciis juratorum, waarin het pro en Contra the jury legal practice . He then received his doctorate under Janus Richardus de Brueys (1778-1848) on May 28, 1821 with the work de argumento ab analogia ejusque a legis interpretatione differentia (Deventer 1821) to the doctor of rights.

He actually intended to make a living as a lawyer in Deventer. However, on June 21, 1821 he was appointed professor of law at the Illustren Schule in Deventer, which task he took on on June 13, 1822 with the speech Oratio de philosophico Jurisprudentiae studio ad fructus utilissimo et ad voluptatem suavissimo . On September 26, 1825, he was appointed professor of law at the University of Leiden by royal resolution , where he should teach the subject of public law, natural, international and criminal law. He began this task on February 8, 1826 with the speech Oratio de Juris Publici Universalis studio ad Civitatis pacem otiumque fructuosissimo . He also participated in the organizational tasks of the university and was rector of the alma mater in 1835/36. He put this task down with the speech de Jure gentium Europaeo, temporum nostrorum conversionibus vehementer labefactato . Wilhelm I entrusted him with the constitutional instruction of Prince Alexander. For his teaching he wrote the handboek voor HKH Willem Alex. Paul Fred. Lod., Erfprins van Oranje, en Willem Alex. Fred. Const. Nic. Michaël, Prins der Nederlanden (1837).

From 1835 to 1865 he was a member of the Council of Leiden, in 1846 he became a member of the provincial states of South Holland and in 1848 he became a member of the Second Chamber of the States General . On June 17, 1864, he resigned his professorship by royal resolution and was retired. A few essays by him are known in the journals and journals of his time. He was honored in 1858 with the Order of the Oak Crown as a Grand Officer and on May 28, 1837 Knight of the Order of the Dutch Lion . He had also become a member of various learned societies. So here is his membership of Dutch literature in Leiden on April 14, 1826 (Dutch: Maatschappij der Nederlandsche Letterkunde ), his 1826 membership in the provincial Utrecht Society of the Arts and Sciences (Dutch: Provinciaal Utrechtsch Genootschap van Kunsten en Wetenschappen ) and his membership in the Dutch Society of Liberal Arts and Sciences in Leiden (Dutch: Hollandsche Maatschappij van Fraaije Kunsten en Wetenschappen ) should be mentioned in 1827 .
