Book The Oxford Handbook of Criminal Law

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Criminal Law written by Markus D Dubber and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2014-11-27 with total page 1294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Criminal Law reflects the continued transformation of criminal law into a global discipline, providing scholars with a comprehensive international resource, a common point of entry into cutting edge contemporary research and a snapshot of the state and scope of the field. To this end, the Handbook takes a broad approach to its subject matter, disciplinarily, geographically, and systematically. Its contributors include current and future research leaders representing a variety of legal systems, methodologies, areas of expertise, and research agendas. The Handbook is divided into four parts: Approaches & Methods (I), Systems & Methods (II), Aspects & Issues (III), and Contexts & Comparisons (IV). Part I includes essays exploring various methodological approaches to criminal law (such as criminology, feminist studies, and history). Part II provides an overview of systems or models of criminal law, laying the foundation for further inquiry into specific conceptions of criminal law as well as for comparative analysis (such as Islamic, Marxist, and military law). Part III covers the three aspects of the penal process: the definition of norms and principles of liability (substantive criminal law), along with a less detailed treatment of the imposition of norms (criminal procedure) and the infliction of sanctions (prison law). Contributors consider the basic topics traditionally addressed in scholarship on the general and special parts of the substantive criminal law (such as jurisdiction, mens rea, justifications, and excuses). Part IV places criminal law in context, both domestically and transnationally, by exploring the contrasts between criminal law and other species of law and state power and by investigating criminal law's place in the projects of comparative law, transnational, and international law.

Book The History of Courts and Procedure in Medieval Canon Law

Download or read book The History of Courts and Procedure in Medieval Canon Law written by Wilfried Hartmann and published by CUA Press. This book was released on 2016-09-09 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the end of the thirteenth century, court procedure in continental Europe in secular and ecclesiastical courts shared many characteristics. As the academic jurists of the Ius commune began to excavate the norms of procedure from Justinian's great codification of law and then to expound them in the classroom and in their writings, they shaped the structure of ecclesiastical courts and secular courts as well. These essays also illuminate striking differences in the sources that we find in different parts of Europe. In northern Europe the archives are rich but do not always provide the details we need to understand a particular case. In Italy and Southern France the documentation is more detailed than in other parts of Europe but here too the historical records do not answer every question we might pose to them. In Spain, detailed documentation is strangely lacking, if not altogether absent. Iberian conciliar canons and tracts on procedure tell us much about practice in Spanish courts. As these essays demonstrate, scholars who want to peer into the medieval courtroom, must also read letters, papal decretals, chronicles, conciliar canons, and consilia to provide a nuanced and complete picture of what happened in medieval trials. This volume will give sophisticated guidance to all readers with an interest in European law and courts.

Book Canonical Procedure in the Disciplinary and Criminal Cases of Clerics

Download or read book Canonical Procedure in the Disciplinary and Criminal Cases of Clerics written by Rev Francis Droste and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When in the year 1880 the S. Congregation of Bishops and Regulars sent to the Bishops of Italy the now famous Instruction on the summary procedure in disciplinary and criminal causes of clerics, it soon became evident that the reform thus initiated would not remain confined to Italy, but would gradually find its way to other countries. Anticipating this, the Rev. FRANCIS DROSTE, a priest of the diocese of Pauerborn, wrote a short alld simple commentary on the new procedure, which he designed more for practical use than legal speculation. In order, however, that the laws themselves on which the several articles of the Instruction are based, may be sufficiently understood, the author gives in the first part a short exposition of ecclesiastical jurisdiction anti its judicial organs, while in the Introduction he determines the place occupied by the Instruction in the public and historical law of the Church. The Third Plenary Council of Baltimore in 1884, complying with the reqllest of the S. C. de Prop. Fide, adopted the same Instruction l with a few slight modifications (which may be seen at a glance in tile Appendix). It is a mere question of time when these same provisions shall be extended to all English-speaking missionary countries; and as an English commentary on the Instruction was desired, a German priest of the diocese of Covington, Ky., translated Fathel' DROSTE'S little book. To be of greater service, however, the work needed adaptation to conditions for which it was not originally intended. This labor was intrusted to the present writer, who confesses to having taken very great liberty with the translation as well as with the original work. DROSTE wrote for readers who had gone through a regular course of Canon law and were, moreover, acquainted with the practice of canonical procedure. The editor hopes to reach a much larger class of readers. Hence explanatory notes have been added and a number of paragraphs of new matter inserted in the text (these being indicated by an asterisk, thus: 97*) to supply more of what he considers useful or even necessary information; clgain, for seclions dealing with matters of only local interest, others of a more general bearing have been substituted (thus in pt. I. sec. 3), and subjects too lightly touched upon by tile author have been more fully developed (as, e.g., that of judicial evidence). Besides, more system and perspicuity were to be obtainied by placing what seemed logically allied subjects under one head, instead of leaving them, as originally, scattered in different places (thus were formed chap. 1,3. in pt. II. sec. I). In a word, the original has been so radically changed that the author will hardly recognize his German offspring in this naturalized American edition.

Book The Origins of Reasonable Doubt

Download or read book The Origins of Reasonable Doubt written by James Q. Whitman and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To be convicted of a crime in the United States, a person must be proven guilty “beyond a reasonable doubt.” But what is reasonable doubt? Even sophisticated legal experts find this fundamental doctrine difficult to explain. In this accessible book, James Q. Whitman digs deep into the history of the law and discovers that we have lost sight of the original purpose of “reasonable doubt.” It was not originally a legal rule at all, he shows, but a theological one. The rule as we understand it today is intended to protect the accused. But Whitman traces its history back through centuries of Christian theology and common-law history to reveal that the original concern was to protect the souls of jurors. In Christian tradition, a person who experienced doubt yet convicted an innocent defendant was guilty of a mortal sin. Jurors fearful for their own souls were reassured that they were safe, as long as their doubts were not “reasonable.” Today, the old rule of reasonable doubt survives, but it has been turned to different purposes. The result is confusion for jurors, and a serious moral challenge for our system of justice.
