Jacobus Anthonie Fruin (born June 8, 1829 in Rotterdam , † November 1, 1884 in Utrecht ) was a Dutch legal scholar.

Life

Fruin was a son of the pharmacist Robert Fruin (born September 22, 1776 in Rotterdam; † January 23, 1845 ibid) and his wife Elisabeth Maria Perk (born January 26, 1794 in Rotterdam; † August 23, 1870 ibid). He was thus a brother of Robert Jacob Fruin .

Fruin had attended the Erasmusgymnasium in Rotterdam and enrolled at the University of Leiden in September 1848 . Here Cornelis Jacobus van Assen , Johan de Wal , Simon Vissering and especially Joël Emanuel Goudsmit became his formative teachers. On February 20, 1854 he received his doctorate in law. He then worked as a lawyer in his hometown and was a member of the local city council. On May 29, 1858 he became secretary of the Dutch Ministry of Finance. On July 6, 1859, he was appointed professor of commercial and civil rights at the University of Utrecht , which task he took on on October 12, 1859 with the speech About het nut der divorced beoefening van het Fransche regt voor de wetenschappelijke verklaring onzer burgerlijke wetgeving .

As a university lecturer in Utrecht, he also took part in the organizational tasks of the university and was rector of the Alma Mater in 1865/66 and 1878/79 . When resigning from the rectorate, he gave the speech De privati ​​iuris nostri codicibus assidue corrigendis et supplendis in 1866 and Over den strijd tusschen het kanonieke en het Romeinsche rechts (freely translated into German: On the dispute between canonical and Roman law ) in 1879 .

In 1864 he became a member of the city council in Utrecht. On May 5, 1867, he became a member of the Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences .

He had a penchant for legal history. Several Dutch law books come from his pen.
