WIST Quotations Has Moved!Jun 25, 2025

A quotation from Thoreau

We seem to have forgotten that the expression “a liberal education” originally meant among the Romans one worthy of free men; while the learning of trades and professions by which to get your livelihood merely, was considered worthy of slaves only.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer
Speech (1860-07-04), “The Last days of John Brown,” North Elba, Massachusetts

Site of the free court in Assinghausen (in use from latest 1297 to 1808)

Free courts (vehmic courts) have existed since Germanic times, especially in Westphalia.
The free court always met at a specific location. Under the chairmanship of the free earl, the aldermen administered justice in the presence of all the freemen.
The court dealt with murder, theft, arson, fornication, treason and heresy, among other things.
Originally, only the death penalty was known, which was carried out by the bailiff or the aldermen, but later other punishments were also used.

Canadian judiciary shows occasional rays of hope!

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/contempt-jail-prince-rupert-1.6819182

A year in jail seems almost a token punishment given the asshole's persistance despite warning.

OPLCA was fully refuted by J Rooke in 2012 (Meads v. Meads, 2012 ABQB 571) and shown to be inherently vexatious.
