Sinossi
Excerpt from The Beauties of Erskine: Consisting of Selections From His Prose and Poetry
Speech for Captain Baillie, in the Court of King's Bench, November 24, 1778.
My Lord, - I am likewise of counsel for the author of this supposed libel: and if the matter for consideration had been merely a question of private wrong, in which the interests of society were no farther concerned than in the protection of the innocent, I should have thought myself well justified, after the very able defence made by the learned gentlemen who have spoken before me, in sparing your lordship, already fatigued with the subject, and in leaving my client to the prosecutor's counsel and the judgment of the court.

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a compelling analysis of celebrated British lawyer Thomas Erskine and his contributions to jurisprudence. Erskine's freethinking spirit challenged the unwritten laws and norms that characterized the British justice system of the 18th century, thus paving the way for modern legal principles and systems. The author examines several of Erskine's most pivotal courtroom battles, such as when he boldly defended the rights of the press, challenged the authority of the crown, and championed the cause of civil liberties. Erskine's arguments in court laid the foundation for many of the freedoms we take for granted today. This book provides a valuable study of a legal titan who helped shape the landscape of justice, making it essential reading for students of law, history, and anyone interested in the tireless pursuit of a more just and humane world.
