"Our Legal Heritage: King AEthelbert - King George III, 600 A.D. - 1776" by S. A. Reilly is a journey through almost twelve centuries of English legal history, beginning in the era of Anglo-Saxon kings. It’s a trip through the origins of common law to the seeds sown that would eventually become the jury system that would alter courtrooms for centuries to come. The book’s organized look at laws helps illustrate societal impacts by exploring laws, customs, and judicial proceedings that shape the structure of England. Each chapter is presented in three sections: "The Times", "The Law", and "Judicial Procedure".
