You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:Richard Zouche by Cornelius Johnson.jpg|thumb|upright|Zouch by Cornelius Johnson]]
'''Richard Zouch''' (((circa|1590))((snd))1 March 1661) was an English judge and a [[Member of parliament|Member of Parliament]] from 1621 to 1624. He was elected Member of Parliament for [[Hythe (UK Parliament constituency)|Hythe]] in 1621 and later became principal of [[St. Alban Hall, Oxford]]. During the [[English Civil War]], he was a [[Cavalier|Royalist]] and was appointed by [[Oliver Cromwell]] to a special commission of oyer and terminer. Zouch wrote extensive legal texts and was among the earliest systematic writers of [[international law]].

== Early life ==
Zouch was born at [[Ansty, Wiltshire]], the third surviving son of Francis Zouche (d.1600) and Philippa, sixth daughter of George Ludlow of [[Hill Deverill|Hill Deverel]], Wiltshire.<ref>((cite web|last=Lefevre|first=Peter|title=ZOUCHE, Richard (c.1589-1661), of Doctors' Commons, London and Oxford, Oxon.|url=http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1604-1629/member/zouche-richard-1589-1661|access-date=14 June 2021|website=History of Parliament Online))</ref> He was educated at [[Winchester College|Winchester]] and afterwards at [[New College, Oxford]], where he was a scholar in 1607, and Fellow in 1609.<ref name="EB1911">((Cite EB1911|wstitle=Zouch, Richard|volume=28|page=1045))</ref> He graduated as B.C.L. in 1614, and D.C.L. in 1619, was admitted at [[Doctor's Commons]], London, in January 1618, and was appointed [[Regius Professor of Civil Law (Oxford)|Regius Professor of Civil Law]] at Oxford in 1620.<ref name="EB1911"/> In addition to his university duties, he had a large legal practice in London.<ref name="americana">((Cite Americana|wstitle=Zouche, Richard))</ref>

It was apparently in 1622 that he married Sarah, daughter of John Harte of [[Brill, Buckinghamshire|Brill]] in Oxfordshire, a proctor in Doctors' Commons; having thus vacated his fellowship, he entered himself in 1623 as a fellow commoner at [[Wadham College]].

== Career ==
In 1621 and 1624, through the influence of his cousin [[Edward la Zouche, 11th Baron Zouche]], he was elected [[Member of Parliament]] for [[Hythe (UK Parliament constituency)|Hythe]]. In 1625 he became principal of [[St Alban Hall, Oxford]].<ref name=DNB>((cite DNB|wstitle=Zouche, Richard|last=Holland |first=Thomas Erskine |authorlink=Thomas Erskine Holland |volume=63 |pages=417-420))</ref>

He took a leading part in [[William Laud]]'s codification of the statutes of the university (1629–1633). He acted for many years as assessor of the vice-chancellor's court, and in 1632 became chancellor of the [[diocese of Oxford]]. In 1641 he was made [[Judge of the High Court of Admiralty]].<ref name=DNB/>

During the [[English Civil War|Civil War]], he was a [[Cavalier|Royalist]], though not a pronounced one.<ref name="americana"/> Under the [[Commonwealth of England|Commonwealth]], having submitted to the [[Parliamentary visitation of the University of Oxford|parliamentary visitors]], he retained his university appointments,<ref name="EB1911"/> and was appointed by [[Oliver Cromwell]] to a special commission of oyer and terminer (consisting of three judges, three civilians, and three laymen, for the trial of Don Pantaleone Sa, the brother of the Portuguese ambassador, for murder committed in a brawl). Zouche was, however, not allowed to retain the judgeship of the admiralty, which was in 1649 conferred on [[John Exton (lawyer)|John Exton]]. He was regarded with some suspicion by both factions.<ref name=DNB/>

After the [[English Restoration|Restoration]], he was appointed to the commission which reinstated the professors and Fellows of Oxford who had been removed under the Protectorate of Cromwell. On 4 February 1661, he was restored to his judgeship,<ref name="americana"/> though he died soon afterwards at his apartments in Doctors' Commons, London, on 1 March 1661.<ref name="EB1911"/>

In virtue of the last two he has the distinction of being one of the earliest systematic writers on [[international law]].<ref name="EB1911"/> According to [[Thomas Erskine Holland]] writing in the ''[[Dictionary of National Biography]]'', [[Jeremy Bentham]]'s coinage "international law" derives from the phrase ''jus inter gentes'' implied by Zouch's 1650 choice of title. Holland also identifies both Zouch and [[Arthur Duck]] as pupils of distinction of the civilian [[John Budden]], in the Oxford tradition founded by [[Alberico Gentili]].<ref name=DNB/>
