This PDF covers topics related to Common Law and is a article that
provides the first comprehensive review of the common law on state-officer
immunities around 1871. In particular, it canvasses the four nineteenth century
treatises that the Supreme Court consults in assessing officer immunities under
the common law of 1871: Cooley’s 1879 Law of Torts, Bishop’s 1889 Commentaries
on Non-contract Law, Mechem’s 1890 Law of Public Offices and Officers, and
Throop’s 1892 Law Relating to Public Officers. Not only do these treatises
collect many overlooked state common law precedents, but they rely heavily on
the Supreme Court’s own, often ignored, nineteenth-century decisions.
This book goes on to
discuss criminal law, torts, bails, possession and ownership, contracts,
successions, and many other aspects of civil and criminal law.
The essence of English common law is that it is made by judges
sitting in courts, applying legal precedent to the facts before them. A decision
of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, the highest civil appeal court of
the United Kingdom, is binding on every other court. Topics covered includes:
Torts, Crimes, Contracts, The Law Of Persons, Adjective Law.
