H) who built the third chantry in the Chapel and desired to be buried before the altar. This canopied monument, with its full-length effigy laid on a slab above a cadaver, is an admirable example of Gothic just touched by Renaissance feeling and detail. The scheme, the living laid above the dead, is found in the tomb of William of Wykeham and other fifteenth-century works; but it persisted almost until the Civil War, though the slab, in some of the finest seventeenth-century examples, is borne up by mourners or allegorical figures, as at Hatfield.

Chasing the Chimera: the Rule of Law in the British Empire and the Comparative Turn in Legal History
Chasing the Chimera: The Rule of Law in the British Empire and the Comparative Turn in Legal History John McLaren This article compares the imposition, application and evolution of the Rule of Law in colonial territories and their populations within the British Empire as evidence of a ‘Comparative Turn’ in exploring metro- politan and colonial legal cultures and their interrelationships. The purpose of the study is not primarily to either justify or criticise that concept, but to suggest that its complexity, contingency and controversy provides fertile soil for research relating to law and justice, and their ideologies across the British Empire. Elsewhere there might be the sultan’s caprice, the lit de justice, judicial torture, the slow-grinding mills of the canon law’s bureaucracy, and the auto-da-fé of the Inquisition. In England, by contrast, king and magis- trates were beneath the law, which was the even-handed guardian of every Englishman’s life, liberties, and property. Blindfolded Justice weighed all equitably in her scales. The courts were open, and worked by known and due process. Eupeptic fanfares such as those on the unique blessings of being a free-born Englishman under the Anglo-Saxon-derived common law were omnipresent background music. Anyone, from Lord Chancellors to rioters, could be heard piping them (though for very different purposes).1 There is inherent value and potential in comparing the legal cultures of former British colonial territories to demonstrate the processes of the translation of legal culture and ideology, not only from the metropolis to the colonies, but between the colonies themselves, and the institutional and personal networks and trajectories that facilitated these movements.

LO CD 0"~ C.O ~m WORLD FACTBOOK OF CRIMINAJ~ JUSTICE SYSTEMS NORTHERN IRELAND Ken Pease and Gemma Cox University of Manchester This country report is one of many prepared for the World Factbook of Criminal Justice Systems under Bureau of Justice Statistics grant No. 90-BJ-CX-0002 to the State University of New York at Albany. The project director was Graeme R. Newman, but responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in each report is that of the individual author. The contents of these reports do not necessarily reflect the views or policies of the Bureau of Justice Statistics or the U. S. Department of Justice. GENERAL OVERVIEW I. Political System. The origins of the legal system in Northern was largely introduced on the model of England and Wales, to supplant the system operating under Celtic Law before the 17th century. In 1801, the United Kingdom was established, incorporating England and Wales, Scotland, and the whole of the island of Ireland. The Irish Republic seceded to independent nationhood in 1922. The remaining six counties of Ireland were the subject of the 1920 Government of Ireland Act, which was enacted by the Parliament in London and provided a constitution for Northern Ireland. (However, the Republic of Ireland presently retains in its constitution a claim to these six counties.) This provided a subordinate legislature based at Stormont Castle near Belfast to deal with domestic matters. The Act also conferred a distinctiveness upon the style and substance of Northern Irish statute law.

Judging the Judges: Outside the Robing Room
JUDGING THE JUDGES – OUTSIDE THE ROBING ROOM Paper delivered at the Criminal Lawyers Association of the Northern Territory Thirteenth Biennial Conference, “Extremes in Justice” at Bali Hyatt Hotel on 28 June 2011 By Raelene Webb QC Magayamirr Chambers, Darwin Inside the Robing Room, or informally in cafes, solicitors’ offices’ barristers’ chambers and the like, stories are swapped about judges’ eccentricities, foibles and qualities - often in frank and robust terms. What is said in the Robing Room, usually stays in the Robing Room. If a legal practitioner is appearing before a judge or magistrate for the first time, he or she will do a ring around, talk colleagues, to find out what the judicial officer is like in court. But there is nowhere in Australia where judges are judged and that information and intelligence on judicial officers is collected in one easily accessible site. There is in the United States. It is called The Robing Room: www.robingroom.com/ where judges are judged on the internet. Check it out. The Robing Room is a site by lawyers for lawyers. Its mission is to provide a forum for evaluating federal district court judges and magistrate-judges. The Home page lists, by name, the top 10 judges and the bottom 10 judges – calculated on a minimum of five ratings. The judges are rated on the following criteria using a scale of 1-10: • Temperament • Scholarship • Industriousness • Ability to handle complex litigation • Punctuality • Evenhandedness in Civil Litigation 1 • Evenhandedness in Criminal Litigation • General Inclination Regarding Bail • General Inclination in Criminal Cases, Pre-Trial • Involvement in Civil Settlement Discussions • General Inclination in Criminal Cases, Trial • General Inclination in Criminal Cases, Sentencing • Typical Discount Off Guidelines for Cooperators You can try this in the privacy of your own rooms, judges and magistrates included.
