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/>
