On the Practicability of Codifying English Law: With a Specimen Code of the Law of Evidence (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Can English law be simplified into a clear code?
This book argues for reform by condensing unwritten law into a practical code, illustrated with a specimen Code of the Law of Evidence. It blends history, debate, and analysis to show how a well‑crafted code could replace sprawling volumes with accessible, measurable rules.
The author surveys the push to digest statute and case law, reviews past trials of codification, and explains the difference between a digest and a code. Readers will see why a properly prepared code could unify procedures across courts, borrow wisely from other systems, and ease the search for legal principles in daily practice.- Explanations of why codification appeals to lawmakers and the public alike
- Discussion of digests versus codes and what each promises to deliver
- A concrete, step‑by‑step outline for a proposed Code of the Law of Evidence
- Historical perspectives on admissibility, jury conduct, and the pursuit of truth

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book from 1866 examines the prospect of simplifying English law and condensing it into an organized and useful code.

The author proposes a solution to this complexity, promoting a more user-friendly approach that would make the law more accessible to citizens and easier to navigate. Thought leaders and societal critics of the time add their opinions to the discussion, raising important questions about the role of law in society and its impact on justice and equality.
