Appeal Of Death Nov 1926

Appeal Of Death

Michigan Law Review

A note from Mr. Justice Riddell says: "In my paper, 'Appeal of Death and Its Abolition.' 24 MICH. L. REV. (June, 1926) at p. 793, it is said, 'when the widow was Appellor, the issue was tried by a jury because a woman could not fight.' While this was generally true, the statement indicating universality was made per incuriam of course, the trial was sicut curia consideraverit; and sometimes Battel was awarded in the case of a woman-appellor.

The Courts Of Judea, Jerome C. Knowlton

Articles

The study of Jewish jurisprudence has become interesting during the past ten years through the efforts of some painstaking scholars, who have not been burdened with any particular dogma, but have been actuated by a true Christian spirit.
