43. Stowell/In Tender Consideration. Forword Lincoln grappled with family law cases throughout his legal career. The essays are thus models for a legal history rooted in the localities and regions http://www.press.uillinois.edu/epub/books/stowell/forewd.html

Foreword MICHAEL GROSSBERG In Tender Consideration is a signal contribution to American legal and social history. The authors use the unique resources of the DVD version of the Lincoln Legal Papers, The Law Practice of Abraham Lincoln: Complete Documentary Edition (2000) to recover and analyze family legal experiences. They do so in a series of compelling essays exploring the intersection of law, gender, and childhood in antebellum Illinois while documenting the realities of legal practice and adjudication in the state during the era. This analytical combination makes the book at once a significant analysis of nineteenth-century families and the law and an illuminating primer on the analytical possibilities of archival collections. In Tender Consideration demonstrates how much we can gain by using the legal conflicts of a particular time and place to analyze American history. It provides us with a new understanding of the legal experiences of antebellum families while prodding us to think about the legal and social world in which these household conflicts erupted. The essays are thus models for a legal history rooted in the localities and regions of the American Republic. The content of this electronic work is intended for personal, noncommercial use only.

The pair of them had murdered to provide bodies for an anatomist to dissect, Burke was hanged before a vast crowd in January 1829 and his corpse was hanged over to the College of Surgeons ironically, for purposes of dissection. A Perfectly Ordinary Little Case Mr. Mervyn Griffith-Jones, prosecutor at the lady Chatterley trial, has been immortalized for asking jury members whether they would ‘wish your wife or servants to read it?’ But he is almost as well remembered for another splendid utterance in a different trial. ‘It is a perfectly ordinary little case of a man charged with indecency with four or five guardsmen,’ he said. Not naughty Enough Times have changed since lady Chatterley trial.

The Library's network now provides access to a growing database of free Web resources; to an expanding number of bibliographic databases, electronic data files, and full-text resources through the Harvard Libraries gateway ; to commercial online services licensed directly by the Library; and to a large assortment of CD-ROM publications. As a means of delivering timely and important information, legal scholarship online has become highly effective and is widely demanded. To date, digital resources of the Harvard Law School Library account for just over 5% of our total holdings. However, this percentage is expected to grow. Although digital materials at the Library take many forms, a distinction can be made between electronic resources that we subscribe to or license, and digital projects that we create in-house. Digital projects can be primarily represented in four different areas: Conversion/digital reformatting projects Online exhibits Electronic publications and research guides Web publishing and archiving projects Even though the distinctions separating these categories can many times be somewhat fuzzy (for instance, online exhibits usually involve converting some physical material), as a way of understanding the different types of digital projects undertaken here at HLSL they are a good place to start.

Pp. 368. $29.95, cloth. *** Top of Page 292 *** While Bass contends that only liberal states have legal norms that significantly impact their foreign policy, he admits several serious flaws that keep even the most creditable ones from fully prosecuting war criminals. Political necessity forces them to protect their own soldiers, regardless of the cost to their legal intentions or foreign populations, and similarly to appraise criminality against their own citizens much more highly than crimes against foreigners. Public outrage and pressure from non-governmental organizations are political necessities for successful trials, and do not always occur across the populations of even liberal states. In addition, tribunals are risky; they indict political leaders, making even essential dealings with those *** Top of Page 293 *** *** Top of Page 294 *** at least make it more difficult for future partisans to repeat history when they cannot deny it.

Sitemap Trial Procedures How Trials were Conducted at the Old Bailey Homepage Historical Background English criminal trials from the late seventeenth to the early nineteenth centuries were very different from those of today. Trials were quick, with lawyers rarely present, and prosecutors, judges, and jurors exercising considerable discretion in how they interpreted the law. Contents of this Article Introduction Initial Accusations Drawing up the Charges The Role of the Grand Jury ... Bibliography Introduction The jury trial, which can be traced back to the middle ages, is often celebrated as the cornerstone of English liberty, but trials in this period contained few of the protections against wrongful convictions which exist today. Trials were quick, with lawyers rarely present, and, since there was not a fully developed law of evidence, prosecutors, judges, and jurors had more power and flexibility than they do today. Basically the trial involved a confrontation between the prosecutor, normally the victim of the crime, and the defendant, in which the defendant was expected to explain away the evidence presented against them (witnesses also testified on both sides). Although contemporaries thought these procedures were reasonable methods of determining guilt and innocence, from a modern point of view they arguably tended to disadvantage defendants.

Scottish History The Survey of Scottish Witchcraft further reading Secondary works The standard book on the Scottish witch-hunt is Christina Larner, Enemies of God: the Witch-Hunt in Scotland (1981), which has been widely acclaimed and has influenced studies of witch-hunting all over Europe. It is complemented by a posthumously-published collection of essays: Christina Larner, Witchcraft and Religion (1984). For a more general collection of reprinted essays, see Brian P. Levack (ed.), Witchcraft in Scotland (1992). This book unfortunately includes several outdated works; relevant essays in it are noted individually below. Three books have recently appeared on aspects of Scottish witchcraft. Julian Goodare (ed.), The Scottish Witch-Hunt in Context (2002), contains eleven studies covering various aspects of the witch-hunt as a whole. Peter G. Maxwell-Stuart, Satan's Conspiracy: Magic and Witchcraft in Sixteenth-Century Scotland (2001), approaches the earliest trials with the unconventional assumption that witches were magical practitioners capable of engaging in genuinely maleficent conspiracy.

Lincoln Legal Briefs April - June, 1990, Number 14 Moonlight Over Mason County Without doubt Lincoln's most famous case in popular history was his successful defense of William "Duff" Armstrong for the murder of James Metzker. Known generally as the "Almanac Trial," this case featured Lincoln's use of an almanac to discredit the testimony of a prosecution witness. Astronomers as well as historians and lawyers continue to be drawn to this case. Two Texas physicists, Russell Doescher and Donald Olson , have performed astronomical calculations that support Lincoln's assertion that the moon was too low in the sky on August 29, 1857 for the eye-witness to have precisely observed the camp meeting altercation that ended later in James Metzker's death. Further, they note that a rare recurrence of the exact location of the moon will happen on the event's 133rd anniversary, August 29, 1990. Lincoln buffs who want to judge the situation for themselves may want to observe the moon around midnight (CDT) this coming August 29. Such sightings properly should occur in southern Mason County, about 15 miles northeast of New Salem. Our expertise in history, not astronomy, leaves us unqualified to reveal the amount of distortion produced by sightings made elsewhere than the Mason County setting. Perhaps it will be a cloudy night anyway, thus forcing us to wait until the next opportunity, in 2006. Readers are invited to send us reports of their own observations and musings on this momentous issue.

54. Brief (law) - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia A legal brief can also be used as part of arguing a pretrial motion in a case In North American law schools, students usually study historical cases by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brief_(law)

Brief (law) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Brief redirects here. For the undergarment , please see Briefs A brief or factum (latin for "act" or "deed") is a written legal document used in various legal adversary systems that is presented to a court arguing why the party to the case should prevail. In England and Wales the phrase refers to the papers given to a barrister when they are instructed. When they are presented at trial to resolve a disputed point of evidence they are referred to as trial briefs . Alternately, at the appellate level they are referred to as appellate briefs . A legal brief can also be used as part of arguing a pre-trial motion in a case or proceeding. A brief is also sometimes called a memorandum of law The brief or memorandum establishes the legal argument for the party, explaining why the reviewing court should affirm or reverse the lower court 's judgment based on legal precedent and citations to the controlling cases or statutory law. When it is a trial or motion brief the brief argues that the court should rule based on previous decisions of controlling courts. In either case the brief may also include policy arguments and social statistics when appropriate, for example if the law is uncertain or broad enough to allow the appellate judge some discretion in his decision making, and an exploration of the consequences of the possible decision outside of legal formalism may provide guidance. Such arguments may also support a legal argument when the purpose of the law at issue may be clear, but the particular application of that law in service of that purpose is in dispute.

Site Links Home Search for ERIC Digests Privacy Policy Resources for Library Instruction ... Information Literacy Blog ERIC Identifier: Publication Date: Author: Leming, Robert S. Source: ERIC Clearinghouse for Social Studies/Social Science Education Bloomington IN. Teaching about Landmark Dissents in United States Supreme Court Cases. ERIC Digest. Since the Marshall Court in the early nineteenth century, the U.S. Supreme Court has issued a single opinion indicating its decision in a case. The Court disposes of each case it reviews by majority rule (typically either affirming or reversing) and provides a rationale for its decision. The disposition and rationale are both critical elements of the Court's decision. In providing reasons for its decision, the Court may offer constitutional interpretations which have a significant impact on American law and society. Moreover, what often makes Court cases compelling as human drama is that they typically involve real people engaged in disputes which have been brought to the justice system for resolution. This is the "disposition" of a case. In cases where some justices do not agree completely with the Court's decision, they may write or join concurring and dissenting opinions. In "concurring" opinions, justices agree with the majority regarding the outcome of the case, but disagree, in some way, with the reasons that support the outcome. In "dissenting" opinions, justices disagree with the outcome of the case and present rationales for their views. Justices offer reasons for their decisions based upon their understanding of law, history, and policy.

Medieval Scotland Historical Handfasting Draft Edition by Sharon L. Krossa Last updated 5 Apr 2002 This is a draft edition! It is not as complete as I would like it, and not all of the footnotes and references have been included as yet. However, what is included is accurate to the best of my knowledge, and all quotes from sources are accurate to the text of the cited source. Since there doesn't appear to be any good web page with reliable information about historical handfasting (as opposed to information about modern Neopagan handfasting or presentations of myth as historical fact), I have decided an incomplete article on historical handfasting is better than none. Marriage Late Middle Ages to the Reformation In order to understand historical handfasting, one must first understand marriage. Marriage in late medieval Scotland, like marriage just about everywhere else in late medieval Western Christendom (that is, anywhere they looked to the Bishop of Rome as head of the Christian church), could be formed two ways: Exchanging consents in the present tense (I take you to be my husband, etc.)
