It demonstrates that during the foundational period for the common law, the question of judgement and judicial ethics was a topic of heated debate – a common problem with multiple different answers. How to be a judge, and how to judge well, was a concern shared by humble and high, keeping both kings and parish priests awake at night. Using theological texts, sermons, legal treatises and letter collections, the book explores how moralists attempted to provide guidance for uncertain judges. It argues that mercy was always the most difficult challenge for a judge, fitting uncomfortably within the law and of disputed value. Shining a new light on English legal history, Justice and mercy reveals the moral dilemmas created by the establishment of the common law.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: HistoryBook Series: Artes LiberalesTopic: Law & Politics, Society & Culture, Philosophy & SpiritualityItem Width: 16mmItem Weight: 354gRelease Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
