Atrocious Judges

Atrocious Judges: Lives Of Judges Infamous As Tools Of Tyrants And Instruments Of Oppression is a historical non-fiction book written by John Lord Campbell and originally published in 1856. The book provides an in-depth look at the lives and actions of judges who were notorious for using their power to advance the agendas of tyrants and oppress the people they were supposed to serve. Campbell examines the lives of several infamous judges throughout history, including Jeffreys, Scroggs, and Jefferies, who were known for their cruel and unjust treatment of defendants. He also explores the political and social contexts in which these judges operated, shedding light on the broader forces that allowed them to wield their power in such destructive ways. The book is a powerful indictment of the abuse of judicial power and a call for greater accountability and transparency in the legal system. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of law and justice, as well as those concerned with the ongoing struggle for human rights and equality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
