Continue article Advertisement This mode of proof [admitting account books into evidence] is peculiar to our country, and probably has been in practice from its first settlement (Cogswell v Dolliver, 1806, pp.219-20).1 Introduction In 1806, writing for the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts in Cogswell v Dolliver, Justice Parker asserted that admitting account books into evidence in a court of law was peculiar to America. Over the century and a half following the first English settlements in America, unique economic, legal, and social forces created a need to re-examine English common law rules with regard to the legal status of account books. As a result, colonial America developed a legal system that was more flexible and pragmatic than was the English system in accepting account books into evidence.

DURING the course of Holocaust denier David Irving 's libel action against American historian Deborah Lipstadt and her publisher, Penguin Books, press coverage frequently referred to the spectacle playing out in England's High Court as "history on trial." Mr Charles Gray of the Queen's Bench, stressed this distinction in his opinion, n2 where he relied on an "objective historian" standard in judging Irving's scholarship. This standard had no legal precedent; instead, it was based on the report submitted by one of the defendants' expert witnesses, Richard J. Evans

There are no specific amounts attached to these. We could use as much funding as might be provided, although some of them would not be worth commencing without a certain minimum level of funding, which is indicated. More detail is provided in the notes at the end. Multimedia production and distribution . This would range from 60-second TV commercials to full-length movies or training courses. At lower levels of funding we might make use of local access TV facilities. At higher levels we might create our own studio with equipment for producing and editing multimedia materials. Online documentation . We are already doing this with such collections as the Liberty Library of Constitutional Classics, but much work remains to be done, and much more needs to be added. Print documentation . There is still a need for printed books and papers, and while we might put most of it online, some of it might be printed and distributed, especially to schools and libraries.

31. Historical Context: The Scottsboro Trials Trial, one of the most famousor infamous-court cases in American history. Both the fictional and the historical cases take place in the 1930s, http://library.thinkquest.org/12111/scottsboro/historic.htm

Tom Robinson's trial bears striking parallels to the "Scottsboro Trial," one of the most famous-or infamous-court cases in American history. Both the fictional and the historical cases take place in the 1930s, a time of turmoil and change in America, and both occur in Alabama. In both, too, the defendants were African-American men, the accusers white women. In both instances the charge was rape. In addition, other substantial similarities between the fictional and historical trials become apparent. A study of the Scottsboro trials will sharpen the reader's understanding of To Kill a Mockingbird. Both the historical trial(s) and the fictional one reflect the prevailing attitudes of the time, and the novel explores the social and legal problems that arise because of those attitudes. First, it is essential to understand the social and economic climate of the 1930s. The country was in what has been called the Great Depression. Millions of people had lost their jobs, their homes, their businesses, or their land, and everything that made up their way of life. In every American city of any size, long "bread lines" of the unemployed formed to receive basic foodstuffs for themselves and their families, their only means of subsistence. Many people lived in shanty towns, their shelters made of sheet metal and scrap lumber lean-tos. All over America it was common to see unemployed men and women riding the rails, looking for work, shelter, and food-for anything that offered some means of subsistence, some sense of dignity. It was a time when even a full-time employee, such as a mill worker, earned barely enough to live on. In fact, in 1931 a person working 55 or 60 hours a week in Alabama and other places would earn only about $156 annually.

Cato Street Conspiracy : On 22nd February 1820, Arthur Thistlewood discovered that several members of the British government were going to have dinner at Lord Harrowby's house at 39 Grosvenor Square the following night. Thistlewood argued that this was the opportunity they had been waiting for. It was decided that a group of his followers would gain entry to the house and kill all the government ministers. The heads of Lord Castlereagh and Lord Sidmouth would be placed on poles and taken around the slums of London. Thistlewood was convinced that this would incite an armed uprising that would overthrow the government. This website provides an account of what became known as the Cato Street Conspiracy.

The Amistad case: 'Outright Plagiarism' or 'Who Owns History?' CASE UPDATE: February 12, 1998 On Monday, February 9, plaintiff Barbara Chase-Riboud settled with Steven Spielberg and Dreamworks SKG. Chase-Riboud complimented Dreamworks for their film, Amistad and, as part of the settlemnt, dropped her plagiarism suit against the studio. It was the film premiere that almost didn't happen. On Friday, December 12th, Dreamworks latest movie, Amistad , opened in major markets nationwide. Four days earlier, a federal court in Los Angeles denied a motion to enjoin the film, pending a trial to determine whether or not characters, scenes, and other aspects of Amistad were illegally copied from the 1988 book, Echo of Lions Although the preliminary injunction motion was denied, the lawsuit is still very much alive. The U.S. District Court for the Central District of Los Angeles is expected to decide the case in 1998. Dramatis personae On December 12, the latest movie from Dreamworks SKG opened nationwide. Amistad , directed by Steven Spielberg, is based on an actual 1839 revolt by Africans aboard a Spanish slave ship.
