| | Star Chamber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Star Chamber was an English court of law at the royal Palace of Westminster that began sessions in 1487 and ended them in 1641 when the court itself was abolished. | | | Although the court was initially a court of appeal, Henry VIII and his councillors Wolsey and Cranmer encouraged plaintiffs to bring their cases directly to the Star Chamber, bypassing the lower courts entirely. | | | The power of the Court of Star Chamber grew considerably under the House of Stuart, and by the time of Charles I of England it had become synonomous with misuse and abuse of power by the king and his circle. |

| | The Star Chamber. |
| | The jurisdiction of the star chamber was as vague as its constitution. | | | STAR CHAMBER, the name given in the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries to an English court of justice. | | | Star Chamber stood for swiftness and power; it was not a competitor of the common law so much as a limitation on it - a reminder that high state policy could not safely be entrusted to a system so chancy as English law. |

| | Star Chamber - A Reappraisal |
| | Procedure in Star Chamber was very quick and simple, although, as with all the conciliar courts, it decelerated and solidified the further it strode into time. | | | Firstly, as Barnes points out, Star Chamber was not alone in enforcing the Royal Prerogative: so too did the common-law Courts, for example: R v Hampden (1637), a ship money case, which Star Chamber had refused to try as being outside its jurisdiction. | | | The Court was used to enforce royal proclamations, so much so that in 1620 Chamberlain complained "the world is now much terrified of the Star Chamber, there being not so little an offence against any proclamation but is liable and subject to the censure of that court". |

| | Wolsey also encouraged petitioners to use the Court of the Star Chamber as a court of original jurisdiction, not as a last resort after the common-law courts had failed. | | | Star Chamber proceedings were used to gain not only arbitrary convictions, but also arbitrary acquittals for guilty parties whom the crown wished to protect. | | | By 1529, exercising jurisdiction in that court was a president, chancellor, treas- urer, bishop, two chief justices and two alternate justices. |

| | The privilege against self-incrimination, initially invoked as a response to the excesses of the Star Chamber and the Ecclesiastical Courts, was extended to Common Law courts and to other courts using proper procedures. | | | The Star Chamber and Ecclesiastical Courts became the subject of increasing public revulsion, and by 1641 both courts were abolished. | | | Resistance to the methods of the Star Chamber and Ecclesiastical Courts developed into a popular demand for the right not to incriminate oneself, a demand to which the common law courts ultimately acceded. |

| | BUSH'S STAR CHAMBER |
| | The Star Chamber, initially sold to Parliament as a necessity to speed justice along in certain extreme and complex cases, and to try nobles who were, by law, immune from prosecution by the lower courts, the Star Chamber was actually a tool for political repression. | | | While not legally able to issue a death sentence, the Star Chamber could and often did sentence the accused to torture and mutilation. | | | Once England had "legitimized" the idea of a King's court which could operate above the common laws, other despots and tyrants copied the idea. |

| | The "equity" dispensed by the Chancellor in civil cases might, like the "criminal equity" of the Star Chamber, be regarded as a competitor with the Common Law. | | | The Parliament which would not restore the Star Chamber or the Court of High [page 268] Commission passed the Licensing Act, and this statute, which in fact establishes the censorship, was, as we have seen, continued in force for some years after the Revolution. | | | The right of licensing was left in the hands of the government, but this power was regulated by the words of a statute; and, what was of more consequence, breaches of the Act could be punished only by proceedings in the ordinary courts. |

| | What makes the current situation worse, is not that we are dealing with a marauding bunch of vigilantes who believe they are right, and that justice is on their side, but that indefinite imprisonment without trial has been introduced, and wholly supported, by the UK government. | | | Yet it takes just one event, one f--kwitted Prime Minister and a f--kwitt of a Home Secretary to tear down years of legislative and judicial protection of the people and introduce indefinite imprisonment, without trial, without a right to appeal and without the need of publicly produced evidence of any kind. | | | Indeed, the UK has frequently criticised foreign governments for using such legislation, and has openly called for the overthrowing of such governments, the removal of heads of state, and even declared war upon them. |

| | The court was created by Henry VIII in 1487, when Henry forced the Parliament to pass an act declaring the ancient right of the king's council to hear petitions of redress. | | | The court met in secret and dealt out excessive and cruel punishment. | | | The Star Chamber was a court controlled by the monarch (it was named after the room in which it originally met, a room in the royal palace of Westminster that had stars painted on the ceiling--a mundane enough source for what became an ominous and terror-inducing name). |

| | A fellow jurist (Hal Holbrook) gives Hardin another path to justice by introducing him to a twentieth-century version of the Court of Star Chamber, which secretly and summarily executed laws in 15th-century Europe. | | | In this modern counterpart, nine justices hire hit-men to ensure criminals who were released on legal loopholes are eliminated from society. | | | Michael Douglas stars in this legal thriller as Steve Hardin, a judge who is tired of seeing the guilty set free on legal technicalities. |
