Final Exam! Home Syllabus Lecture Notes ... NEW! Final exam has been posted!!! Famous trials, trials that capture the imagination of a community, are particularly useful for observing the nature of legal-literary-cultural connections and dependencies." Robert Ferguson, "Story and Transcription in the Trial of John Brown" "Law reflects the agenda of controversy–the things that are in actual dispute. It also gives strong negative evidence about which issues are not in dispute, the things that nobody questions." Lawrence Friedman, "Notes Toward a History of American Justice" Course Overview This course will focus on three significant legal cases in Western history: the Inquisition trials of Galileo Galilei (1615-16 and 1632-33), the Puritan Examinations of Anne Hutchinson (1637-38), and the Virginia court proceedings involving Nat Turner (1831). Each of these cases received widespread attention in its time, and each has generated substantial critical literature and commentary during the years since it was adjudicated. For each case, we will examine primary source legal documents, historical accounts, critical analyses and interpretations of the incident (both contemporaneous and retrospective), and fictionalizations of the case, in the form of movies, plays, and/or novels.

Help 1997 YMCA Mock Trial Competition Introduction for Teachers Objectives of Mock Trial Conducting Mock Trials: Complexity, Flexibility, Simplicity Whether the issue is teaching evolution in school, the kidnapping of the baby of a famous couple, or a Hollywood lovers' quarrel over property, American have long relished the spectacle of the courtroom trial. Media hype aside, there are important reasons for the public attraction to the trial process, and these are undoubtedly inherent in the nature of our government and legal system. Perhaps the most basic of these reasons is the public's perception of the trial as one of society's principal vehicles for the achievement of justice for all citizens, a belief which is the cornerstone of our American legal system. In these times, apparent widespread distrust of the trial process surfaces whenever members of the public loudly protest a verdict, as happened in the John Hinckley case. Yet, all in all, Americans still cling to the belief that each citizen should have his or her own "day in court." Statistics on the rising number of case filings in the civil courts underscore the exercise of this right of access to the courts. Some of the public fascination with trials also flows from the nature of a trial as great human drama. In the common view, few secrets can remain cloaked in a trial, or few emotions remain unraveled under the intensity of skillful examination of witnesses.

Parry 2000/09 - Beard Books 1587980312 - Paperback Our Price $34.95 These problematic cases are as valuable to the student of legal medicine and to the amateur criminologist as they are irresistible to the lover of grim and gruesome melodrama. Publisher Comments Categories: Healthcare Law This title is part of the Legal History list. Of Interest: A Hundred Years of Medicine Landmarks in Medicine: Laity Lectures of the New York Academy of Medicine In this fascinating book, Dr. Leonard A. Parry, a physician and Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, brings to light many interesting cases that have been passed over by the more general chronicler. Thirty-two cases, spanning the years 1615 to 1924 and chosen with a view to their historical and legal significance, give an excellent idea of the evolution of criminal jurisprudence in England. Dr. Parry appeals not only to one's curiosity for the morbid and the thrilling, but also to one's analytic instincts by taking a judiciously legalistic approach to his subject matter. As a physician, he has naturally focused on the medical evidence in the cases, while underlining the problematic and intellectual aspects. Not all deal with murder. They present a panoply of treason, medical forgery, abortion, rebellion, torture, libel, and assault. Based on a well-planned and well-balanced record of original sources, the cases are as valuable to the student of legal medicine and to the amateur criminologist, as they are irresistible to the lover of grim and gruesome melodrama.
