註釋

The justice system in English history has been through tumultuous ups and downs, from corrupt officials to unfair legal systems, seemingly always with a heavily biased societal view. In How Justices of the Peace Ruled England, Michael Ward details just how justices of the peace managed to retain such a position of power whilst maintaining a legal system that was clearly farcical and unfair at its very core. With details on how the monarchy effected the running of the country and how broad political tensions left the commoners of England at the mercy of those above them, Ward paints a vivid and fascinating picture of the English justice system all the way back to the Middle Ages.
