Judicial Administration of British India Uptill 1790

The Victorian Court System was made up of many different parts, including the three different courts, the different juries, and the lawyers. There were three different courts: the Petty Court, the Assize Court and the King’s/Queen’s Bench. Each of the three courts functioned to serve a different purpose, and worked together to hold all of the trials. There were also different court sessions, which included Petty Sessions, Quarter Sessions, Borough Sessions, and City Councils, all of which served different purposes. In addition to the courts and court sessions, there were also the two different juries and the different lawyers. All of these components of the court were very important to the trials, and made the court what we know it as today.

It's truly amazing how different daily lives could be with out the American governments judicial system. During the 1846-1950's time period everything was segregated and split by the mere color of your skin. No matter wet here you are African American, Hispanic, White, or any other color you should be treated with the same amount of respect as anyone else.The Supreme Court has made many decisions over the years that have effected everyday lives: "Dred Scott v. Sanford, Plessy v. Ferguson, Brown v. The board of education.

When the British assumed control they unified India. The British however, made an unfair government that negatively impacting the politics of India. The government the British had created, gave the Indians little to no say in the decisions being made and mostly only benefit the British. The transition from colonial rule to independence also caused many deaths. Lalvani claims the British administration was “superbly efficient” (Lalvani).

According to Justice John Molloy who “began practicing law in 1946, justice was much simpler” during that time and “the judicial system was straightforward and efficient” (Molloy 12). The judges focused on the laws outlined by the

The American court system reinforces positive behavior and was designed to protect and provide justice to the members of society. To fully understand how the criminal court system operates, one must examine the role of courts in today’s criminal justice system. They must also understand the purpose of the court system and examine the role early legal codes, the common law, and precedent played in the development of courts.

Wolsey also had a substantial effect on the justice system, reinventing the equity court based on fairness, meaning on a sense of conscience instead of a formal legal process). He was responsible for the re-establishment of the Star Chamber, Court of Chancery, dealing with simple and inexpensive cases and the Court of Requests, which made justice available to those who were unable to afford the fees usually needed for a court case. In theory this was an excellent idea and was supported by the commons as well as a number of nobles, a number of which thought they were untouchable by the law, and that this way justice would be served more effectively. Through this the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery was greatly expanded and further developed, making it possible to increase the number of cases dealt with from an estimated twelve each year to about 120 a year during the 1520 's. While he increased the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery, he limited the Court of Star Chamber and declared it as impartial, as well as declaring that it should have no influence in political matters. This had the effect that people were relying directly on the crown to settle their disputes meaning that it gained influence in the matters and that local landowners were capped in their power. During this time a number of nobles were convicted, who had thought themselves to be above the law and Wolsey made further enemies in the ranks of those close to the King.

During the election of 1800, political parties were drastic in the American government. President John Adams and Vice president Thomas Jefferson had different supporters. Federalist supported one side and Republicans supported the other. At the peak of this election, Federalist lost both the presidency and the control of both houses of Congress. The judiciary branch was the only branches were powers could be exercised. The federalist driven congress passed the Judiciary Act of 1801,. that originated 62 new judgeships. This was an attempt by Federalists in Congress and the John Adams administration to fill the Federal courts with his supporters. After hearing about “midnight judges” causes Jefferson to withhold the commissions

The Judiciary Act of 1789 set up the "federal court system with limited power" (Oakes et al.,, 2015, p. 222). It set up the Supreme Court as the top, or head, of the three-teired Judicial branch. Further, it let the federal government set up laws based on the Constitution. The Constitution differed significantly from the British conventional laws and practices the colonies were so desperate to escape. The federal judiciary wasn't welcomed at first by some of the Founding Fathers. There was a fear that the federal government would become tyrannical, and would override the individual state powers, as well as individuals rights and freedoms. The colonies, after being treated the way they were under British law, wanted to make sure that nothing like that could happen under their new government.

In the statement, it is mentioned that the great strength of the common law lies in its capacity to develop to meet the changing needs and circumstances of the society in which it functions. A case to illustrate this point would be W v Registrar of Marriages [2013] HKCFA 39 (CFA).

Nowadays every legal system wants to achieve justice. Different legal traditions in the world have given a different meaning of this concept by following one of the two legal systems: a civil law system and a common law system. The civil law system emerged from Roman law and throughout many centuries has been developed in continental Europe and often is called a “continental legal system”, achieving its prominence through development of aqui communitare in Europe. The common law system emerged in England during the Anglo-Saxon period and was developed by British colonies, reaching its peak in the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
