| | English Legal System |
 | | English common law continued to be developed by judges as opposed to legislators and their case law continues today to decide the meaning of legislative enactments and fill in gaps in the law by « declaring » (in effect extending and developing) the common law. | | | Law is not only by legislation but by courts. | | | The coroners’ courts are the oldest English courts (1194) (Coroners Acts - 1887 -1988). |

| | Supreme Court - Henry II and the English Common Law: Lawlink NSW |
| | Accounting for revenue in the Exchequer was the occasion for determination of disputes by officers of the Exchequer and the beginnings of one of the courts of common law, the Court of Exchequer, which existed in later centuries. | | | Although there were few crimes at common law, the King’s Peace covered most of the acts of violence which occurred, and the sheriffs or his officers had the means of bringing accused persons before the King’s justices and pursuing the accusation. | | | One was ascertainment of facts by requiring the facts to be sworn to by inquisitions or juries of law-abiding persons representing the local community, who report on oath to the king’s justices on the facts of the case. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Roman Law |
| | The Roman law was historically in the early English law of persons, of property, of contracts, and of procedure, although not always with equal obviousness. | | | The Roman law in its maturity recognized a definite natural-law theory as the ultimate test of the reasonableness of positive law, and repudiated the concept that justice is the creature of positive law. | | | Positive law was the jus civile, or municipal law, of a particular state. |

| | In the conclusion "the law actually is thus and so," the word "law" no longer refers to a norm or a rule about which the defendant is mistaken, but to an empirical concept of law equivalent to whether the court actually acquits in the particular case. | | | The court have also accepted that foreign law and customary law are questions of fact.81 The only reason for this is that it is unfair to punish someone for violating a foreign law which he cannot know. | | | The common source often referred to for this maxim in English law is Blackstone's Commentaries6 where the learned author says, '...often a mistake in point of law which every person of discretion not only may, but is bound and presumed to know, is in criminal cases no sort of defence. |

| | Because English law assumed that power corrupts, the Crown was not vested with the legal authority to indict Zenger and put him on trial by itself. | | | The law is not the law regardless if it be good, bad, or indifferent. | | | If they enforce the laws, an arrest cannot be made without probable cause; what an accused says cannot be used against him unless he is informed of his rights; and he has a right to have his attorney present during police questioning. |

| | Articles - Theft Act 1968 |
| | The Theft Act 1968 resulted from the efforts of the Criminal Law Revision Committee to reform the English law of theft. | | | The intention of the Theft Act 1968, was to replace the existing law of theft and other deception related property offences, by a single enactment, while at the same time putting the law on a principled footing. | | | While the law had been tinkered with in many respects, it failed to cover some important classes of criminal taking and was legally complicated. |

| | Piracy in Ancient Law |
| | Piracy is defined in English law as "the commission of those acts of robbery and violence upon the sea, which, if committed upon land, would amount to felony" (Wharton in Ormerod 60). | | | This definition seems to be suffice in describing the acts of pirates, but in ancient times this definition was too vague in that it didn't take into account acts of privateering. |
