Is the course image heavy:
No, there may be a few images, but they are not essential to the course.
What
happened when one was the victim of a crime? Who was responsible for each stage
of an investigation, what were the procedures of the day, and what were the
different police organizations and jurisdictions? Who would you summon for a
murder, a suicide, or a suspicious death? In which court would you prosecute
crimes, name a guardian, or sue a man for criminal conversion, and what did
court proceedings look like? The course will also include a discussion of the
legal procedures surrounding suicide, corruption of blood, and attainder, and
participant questions are welcome.
