Book Synopsis The Making of Felony Procedure in Middle English Literature by : Elise Wang
Download or read book The Making of Felony Procedure in Middle English Literature written by Elise Wang and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-04-23 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Making of Felony Procedure in Middle English Literature explores the literary inheritance of criminal procedure in thirteenth to fifteenth century English law, focusing on felony, the gravest common law offense. Most scholarship in medieval law and literature has focused on statute and theory, drawing from the instantiating texts of English law: acts of Parliament, judicial treatises, the Magna Carta. But those whose job it was to write about the law rarely wrote about felony. Its definition was left to its practice--from investigation to conviction--and that procedure fell to local communities who were generally untrained in the law. Left with many practical and ethical questions and few legal answers, they turned to cultural ones, archived in sermons they had heard, plays they had seen, and poetry they knew. This book reads the documents of criminal procedure--coroners' reports, plea rolls, and gaol delivery records--alongside literary scenes of investigation, interrogation, and witnessing to tell a new intellectual history of criminal procedure's beginnings. The chapters of The Making of Felony Procedure guide the reader through the steps of a felony prosecution, from act to conviction, examining the questions local communities faced at each step. What evidence should be prioritized in a death investigation? Should the accused consider narrative satisfaction when building his plea? What are the dangers of a witnessing system that depends so heavily on a few "oathworthy" men? What can a jury do if the accused's guilt seems partial or complex? And what if the defendant-for whatever reason--refuses to participate in this new, still--delicate system of justice? The book argues that answers they found, and the sources that informed them, created the system that became modern criminal procedure. The epilogue offers some thoughts about the resilience and incoherence of the concept of felony, from the start of the jury trial to the present day.

Book Synopsis Felony and Misdemeanor by : Julius Goebel (Jr.)
Download or read book Felony and Misdemeanor written by Julius Goebel (Jr.) and published by Lawbook Exchange. This book was released on 2005-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immediately acclaimed as one of the most important contributions to European legal history, Felony and Misdemeanor has a broader scope than its title suggests. It is a history of the legal institutions in the Frankish Empire, Normandy and pre-conquest England and their contributions to the formation of Anglo-American private law, public law and judicial administration. It is also a social and political history of the early Middle Ages. This work, complete in itself, was intended to have a second volume which was never published. Reviewing this book in 1938 for the Harvard Law Review, Max Radin said it was "one of the most notable contributions to European legal history that has been made anywhere in recent years" and "a first-rate achievement" (51:1463, 1465).

Book Synopsis The Prisoner at the Bar by : Arthur Train
Download or read book The Prisoner at the Bar written by Arthur Train and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prisoner at the Bar: Sidelights on the Administration of Criminal Justice The favorable reception accorded to the Prisoner at the Bar, not only in the United States but in England, and the fact that it has won a place in sev eral colleges and law schools as a reference book, and in some instances as a sort of elementary text book upon criminal procedure, have resulted in a demand for a new edition. When the book was writ ten the author's sole intention was to present in readable form a popular account of the administra tion of criminal justice. Upon its publication he discovered-to his surprise that it was the only book of its exact character in the English language or perhaps in any other. Reviewers pointed out that whereas there were annotated text-books of crim inal procedure and isolated articles on special top ics, most of them relating to the jury system, there was in existence no other sketch of criminal justice as a whole, from arrest to conviction, based upon either actual experience or hearsay.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Martha Minow is a voice of moral clarity: a lawyer arguing for forgiveness, a scholar arguing for evidence, a person arguing for compassion.” —Jill Lepore, author of These Truths In an age increasingly defined by accusation and resentment, Martha Minow makes an eloquent, deeply-researched argument in favor of strengthening the role of forgiveness in the administration of law. Through three case studies, Minow addresses such foundational issues as: Who has the right to forgive? Who should be forgiven? And under what terms? The result is as lucid as it is compassionate: A compelling study of the mechanisms of justice by one of this country’s foremost legal experts.
