Introduction The meaning of the history cannot be confined to the rise and fall of kings and wars around a territorial unit. The genesis of ideas and their rule over the civilization is significant history of mankind. For instance, the Great Britain has no written constitution, but declarations of Rights of Men and consequential developments constitute landmarks of legal history of Britain. The Magna Carta, meaning Great Charter first issued by King John of England in 1215 and 1689 Bill of Rights are two documents which influenced the legal history of that nation, US and several commonwealth countries like India. King was granting certain liberties to God, the Church and the free men of England.Like love & pleasure, the knowledge increases on distribution defying the logic and mathematics, even Medical Science proved that the liver increases on distribution.

Behavioral economist’s work offers lessons for legal storytellers about judgment and decision-making
Bryan Garner referenced the "halo effect" from behavioral economist Daniel Kahneman's 2011 book, Thinking, Fast and Slow.Garner suggests, and I think he’s right, that a court’s first reaction to an advocate’s brief is crucial. The initial judgment—often based primarily upon style and presentational form—can, if positive, provide a cognitive frame—a halo effect—for the court’s response to the body of the argument (framing their own legal “story” about the case). Garner’s observation is, however, just the tip of the iceberg. Kahneman’s work, and indeed the interdisciplinary work of so-called behavioral economists and cognitive psychologists, provides an understanding of judgment and decision-making that is profoundly relevant for trial lawyers.Why? Because our work and courtroom outcomes turn upon stories told to affect individual judgment and decision-making. Professionally, it behooves us to better understand how … [Read more...] about Behavioral economist’s work offers lessons for legal storytellers about judgment and decision-making
More Than Just An Algorithm: Reconciling The Necessity For Disaggregating The Business Method, With Bilski’s Abstract Test
INTRODUCTIONAs the airplane’s utility spread to the public sector, the 1940’s witnessed the sky’s transformation into the new highway. Like any new frontier and innovation, there was a need for regulation and legal guidance. Fortunately, property law had covered the topic since the 18th century. Cuius est solum, eius est usque ad coelum et ad inferos, whoever owns the soil, it is theirs up to Heaven and down to Hell.[1]The Supreme Court however did not agree with such dated application.[2]The court reasoned that categorizing air travel with ground travel under current property law would be naive. The two categories possessed different interest and policy consideration. Unification of the two, under traditional property laws, would essentially defeat air travel’s value and purpose. Such application had “no place in the modern world”[3]. The court made it clear that new innovation required new regulation and new legal guidance. Instead of fitting … [Read more...] about More Than Just An Algorithm: Reconciling The Necessity For Disaggregating The Business Method, With Bilski’s Abstract Test
