COURT. a stage upon which the sovereign conducts his show so as to satisfy the rest of the world that his decision is a good one. That's the practical definition. The legal definition is: The person and suit of the sovereign. COURT OF RECORD. A court of record must conform to the first four (4) requirements: 1. power to fine or imprison for contempt 2. keeps a record of the proceedings 3. proceeding according to the common law (not statutes or codes) 4. the tribunal is independent of the magistrate (judge) 5. generally has a seal (optional) (example) You will only find all the above Items in Black's Law Dictionary, First, Second, Third, and Fourth Editions. The Fifth and later editions only show items 1 & 2. The powers-that-be could not eliminate items 3 & 4 from the law, so they eliminated them from the reference books. As a general rule-of-thumb, older dictionaries are law oriented; modern ones are more policy oriented. Courts have definite procedures. 1215.org provides law concepts, but JURISDICTIONARY.COM does a better job teaching procedure. Consider purchasing their course subscription. |
