Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book relates the story of the Court of Common Pleas, which reigned as the oldest judicial tribunal in New York State. Established in 1686 during Dutch colonial times, it persisted for nearly two and a half centuries. The book draws historical connections between the Court of Common Pleas and its predecessors, dating back to 1623. It explores the evolving nature of justice in New York, from the informal and conciliatory methods of the Dutch era to the more adversarial and technical system introduced by the English. This text also includes biographical sketches and portraits of 21 of the most important judges who served on the bench of the Court of Common Pleas, providing insights into their backgrounds, legal philosophies, and contributions to the court.
