The document provides an overview of the history and key features of English common law. It begins by quoting Sir William Blackstone, who argued that knowledge of the laws of one's society is an important part of education. It then outlines the aims of having a basic understanding of common law history and identifying key features of the English legal system. The document explains that common law originated from precedent set in past court cases. It identifies the four main sources of English law as common law, acts of Parliament, European Union law, and the European Convention on Human Rights.
The Early History and Evolution of Commercial Arbitration Shahram Shirkhani
In many respects, mankind has had arbitration since it first organized itself into tribes and societies. Some scholars contend that ancient Roman, Greek, and Egyptian civilizations developed arbitration rules before creating formal courts, although even as history moved forward, few arbitration-focused institutions had enforcement authority, preferring instead to remove disruptive players from the system, often based around the guild model.
What's the difference between the federal and state court systems? Criminal and civil cases? Constitutional, statutory and administrative law? This brief overview hits the highlights.

Assignment 2A: Research Paper Topic
The first step in developing your research paper is to identify your topic. The topic should be one in which you are interested in learning more about, and it must be a topic covered by the assigned readings of this course. Your topic should be specific, but you also need to ensure sufficient data and research exists to allow you to meet word count requirements. You can do this by conducting a quick search of the University’s library or the internet to get a sense of available academic resources. Remember, all references must be academic in nature. Wikipedia, blogs, and similar sources are not acceptable.
Provide the following information about your topic:
1. What is the topic of your research paper?
ANSWER: The History of Courts and the Justice System
2. In which chapter of the text is the topic discussed?
ANSWER: The topic is discussed in chapter 4.
3. What type of paper are you writing? (Use types from “Essay Development: Guidelines for Writing Academic Papers.”)
ANSWER: I am writing an analysis type of paper.
4. Why did you choose this topic?
ANSWER: I settled for this paper because I find it interesting how everyday courts make rulings on complicated matters through the use of evidence and statements from witnesses. The line between what is good and what is bad is very thin and I would like to find out what were foundations of the court system that led to the justice system to be the way it is today. And the best way to understand how the justice system came into being is by analyzing the history of the court system.
5. What aspects of this topic do you intend to discuss?
ANSWER: I will discuss the history of the courts, how the justice system is structured and what major building blocks defined our current justice system. Documents such as the Magna Charta will feature prominently in my discussion and forms of trial used in ancient times in the justice system. I will give a chronological development of the justice system from the ancient times to date.
6. Based on your preliminary research, are you confident you can find sufficient academic data and resources to complete your paper?
ANSWER: Yes I am confident that I will find sufficient academic data and resources to complete this paper.
7. Do you understand that the instructor must approve your topic, and that you cannot change topics once approved?
ANSWER: Yes I understand that the instructor has to approve my topic and that I cannot change my topic once approved.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Editor's Notes
This lecture introduces you to the History and workings of the English legal system and in particular, common law. This picture is of law reports. These are the official reports of decisions of judges in individual cases brought before the courts. I’ll explain the background and meaning of the term common law shortly. This course Contains Foundational material about history of critical institutions and processes of the English Legal System. Useful whether you go on to study law or just interested for sake of general knowledge. In this lecture I want to discuss the emergence of Common law in this country. The idea is for you to understand that the English common law system has developed from ancient roots and to get a feel for the history of the system. We are going to look at:• Roots and early history of common law development• Features of the system• AND IMPORTANTLY GET YOU A BIT FAMILIAR WITH SOME OF THE VOCABULARY OF LAW AND ENGLISH LEGAL SYSTEM.LEARNING THE LAW REQUIRES GAINING NEW VOCABULARYAS YOU WORK THROUGH THE VIDEOS AND SECTIONS OF THE COURSE, WORDS THAT SEEM UNUSUAL AT FIRST WILL BECOME FAMILIAR.This introduction to the history of the common law is not meant to give you a detailed understanding of the history (which is actually very complex) but to try and provide a broad overview which will give you a sense of the history of our common law system, where it came from and also how it has influenced the development of the law in other parts of the world.
So these are the formal aims of this section of the course.But before we get on to the history of the common law I think it is worth pausing to reflect very briefly on what law is and what we mean when we talk about a “legal system”
Big question which you would think might be easy to answer. But legal theorists going back to Aristotle and Plato have struggled with this question and continue to do so. What is the content of a law? How do we recognize a rule as a law? We don’t need to get into the complexities of those discussions. That is something you can do if you decide to continue with the study of law.For the moment we can think about it in this way.LAW IS CENTRALLY CONCERNED WITH THE PROBLEM OF SOCIAL ORDER:For humans to live together successfully and peacefully in groups, there have to be rules about how they will live.Rules can be informal social rules, rules of conversation, rules of dress – which are complied with by convention. The sanction is social disapproval. Being excluded from the group.As societies become more developed and complex, they need more formal rules.THIS IS A COMPLEX AREA BUT FOR PRACTICAL AND INTRODUCTORY PURPOSES:When we speak of the law in a democratic society – we think of the rules that govern how we live and how we do business, and which are backed by the coercive power of the state. These rules help to create and maintain social order.We are obliged to follow these rules and if we don’t follow the rules a penalty will be imposed. If we break a criminal law we may have to pay a fine or go to prisonIf we break a non-criminal law - what we call a CIVIL law – we will usually have to pay money compensation or what is called damages
As Aristotle put it some 300 years before the birth of Christ – Law is Order and Good Law is Good Order.So that’s the law.But what is the “legal system”?
Legal system comprises the laws – produced by law-making bodies (legislatures and judiciary)And the institutions, processes and personnel that contribute to the operation and enforcement of those laws.Legislation and common lawCourtsJudgesLegal professionalsPoliceProsecutorsJuriesProcedures for access to justice – Legal Aid, citizens advice bureaux
So our focus in this course in on the English Legal System i.e. the laws and the institutions and processes for adjudication and enforcement of the laws.To start with some terminology:We talk about “The ENGLISH LEGAL SYSTEM”UK COMPRISES SCOTLAND, N IRELAND AND ENGLAND AND WALES. but Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own jurisdictions. There are areas where the jurisdictions coincide (final appeals) but for practical purposes largely separately systems. Scotland has laws and terminology unknown in England. And Wales is becoming a separate legal jurisdiction too.So generally, when talking about ELS, referring to the legal system of E&W. And by legal system I mean the laws, institutions and processes of the justice system.
To put the common law in its modern context, some preliminary comments about sources of law.We will look at this in more detail later.In England & Wales law comes from 4 main sources:Common law – decisions of judges in particular cases applied by other judges in later cases through the process of precedent.Statute Law – written laws that express the will of the legislature European Union Law – Law of European Commission, Council of Ministers & ECJEuropean Convention on Human Rights – HRA 1998 and European Court of Human Rights
