Download or read book The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania written by John J. Hare and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Established in 1684, over a century before the Commonwealth, Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court is the oldest appellate court in North America. This balanced, comprehensive history of the Court examines over three centuries of legal proceedings and cases before the body, the controversies and conflicts with which it dealt, and the impact of its decisions and of the case law its justices created Introduced by constitutional scholar Ken Gormley, this volume describes the Supreme Court’s structure and powers and focuses at length on the Court’s work in deciding notable cases of constitutional law, civil rights, torts, criminal law, labor law, and administrative law. Through three sections, “The Structure and Powers of the Supreme Court,” “Decisional Law of the Supreme Court,” and “Reporting Supreme Court Decisions,” the contributors address the many ways in which the Court and its justices have shaped life and law in Pennsylvania and beyond. They consider how it has adjudicated new and complex issues arising from some of the most notable events and tragedies in American history, including the struggle for religious liberty in colonial Pennsylvania, the Revolutionary War, slavery, the Johnstown Flood, the Homestead Steel Strike and other labor conflicts, both World Wars, and, more recently, the dramatic rise of criminal procedural rights and the expansion of tort law. Featuring an afterword by Chief Justice Saylor and essays by leading jurists, deans, law and history professors, and practicing attorneys, this fair-minded assessment of the Court is destined to become a criterion volume for lawmakers, scholars, and anyone interested in legal history in the Keystone State and the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book maps part of this unfamiliar terrain through a microhistory of an extended, high-profile lawsuit that was carefully watched by generations of Castilian leaders. Justices from the late fifteenth century to the reign of Philip II had difficulty resolving the conflict because the proper exercise of "absolute royal authority" was itself the central legal issue and the dispute pitted against each other members of important groups who demonstrated a tendency to give prominence to different interpretive schemes as they tried to comprehend their world.

Book excerpt: Facing criminal charges? Your future is at stake. When you are accused of a crime, you go from being treated like a good citizen, neighbor, mother, father, co-worker, and friend to an accused criminal. Any interaction with the criminal justice system can you leave you feeling hopeless and helpless. Rather than understanding the facts and circumstances of each case and treating each individual with dignity and respect, our system has evolved to favor one-size-fits-all solutions and mass incarceration. When you are charged with a crime in Pennsylvania the case is given a title-Commonwealth v. [insert the name of the Defendant here]. The very name of the case emphasizes the reality of the challenge. Anyone facing criminal charges is fighting to defend their freedom and future against the full weight and power of the government of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. If you are in that situation it really does feel like it is the Commonwealth v. You. Based on almost two decades of criminal litigation experience and participation in hundreds of criminal investigations and trials, a former active duty military officer, prosecutor, and trial attorney, provides an inside look at Pennsylvania's criminal justice system. The Commonwealth v. You is a practical guide for anyone who is under investigation or facing criminal charges. About the Author R. Davis Younts is an attorney, author, and founder of a law firm focused on military law and criminal defense. Younts served on active duty in the United States Air Force Judge Advocate General's Corps for over a decade.
