Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique insight into the complex legal processes of 15th century France, serving as a veritable guide for expediting cases. Written shortly after the end of the Hundred Years' War, the author, having witnessed the chaos of the legal system firsthand, presents a detailed plan to improve the judicial process. The author, a notable figure in French history, held high office in the Norman legal system and was intimately familiar with the challenges facing litigants. In his plan, he argues that replacing lengthy verbal arguments with written submissions would greatly reduce delays, proposing that most cases could be resolved in under three months instead of the years it often took. Along with proposals for reducing procedural delays, he also explores broader legal reforms like empowering judges to make rulings without needing the consensus of the entire court, a notion still considered radical in legal circles today.
