London and Londoners, Vol. 1 of 2: Or a Second Judgment of Babylon the Great (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book critiques the adversarial legal practices of early 19th century Britain. The author explores the inequality and expense of common law, suggesting that the system favored the wealthy and those with legal training. The author uses the legal system as a microcosm for wider societal issues, arguing that the legal process mirrors the power imbalances and inefficiencies of the larger social order. The author draws upon cases and statutes to illustrate the absurdity and cruelty of the system, suggesting that legal proceedings were often opaque and arbitrary. The author proposes that the legal system, rather than protecting citizens' rights, reinforced the power and privilege of a select few. Overall, this book provides a valuable historical account of 19th century British law, and insights into the problems of legal systems that privilege the powerful.
