English Justice

The system of English justice was not designed but developed gradually over more than 1000 years. It is a system that has been used as a model in many parts of the world. 

N.B. THE foregoing is not a translation of the Emerald Table, but rather a paraphrase, and one that does not by any means do full justice to the beautiful simplicity of the original. See my commentary on the Smaragdine Table, which contains both Latin and English texts, with a full account of the tradition, and of the inner meaning of the Hermetic Doctrine given therein. P. F.

This term covers a broader spectrum of effects on plants than the term "plant growth regulators" that has been commonly used in English-speaking countries. This new definition should do greater justice to the variety of effects that are expected from this class of substances.

The principles and practices of psychiatric justice here advocated by Rush not only characterize the administration of Soviet law, but are also becoming steadily more influential in the administration of English and American law.

During that time they were adjusted and modified as the system of justice became more consistent across the nation. For the last 700 years there have been only relatively minor developments although the past two decades have seen a number of important changes in the role of members of the legal profession.
