The operations of the law courts and of those who serve them are often regarded as a mystery by many who are well informed about other public services, though law is a subject which is always close to the lives of each one of us.
Only a minority offend against the criminal law, yet as long as the institu¬tion of property endures, it will be necessary that its administration and transfer shall be cast in a certain mould. This book is an attempt to show the historical background of the courts of law from the twelfth century to the present, and the place they occupy in the vast and complicated network of English government. It describes the part played by Parliament, judges, barristers, solicitors, and juries.
A new edition of this book has been necessitated by recent and momentous legislative changes, chief among which are those introduced by the Criminal Justice Administration Act 1956, the Restrictive Trade Practices Act 1956, and the Tribunals and Inquiries Act 1958.
