Book Description
Excerpt from Legal Maxims, Vol. 1: With Observations and Cases From the numerous inquiries made from time to time, by students and practitioners, for a full collection of Legal Maxims, the publishers were induced to reprint Mr. Wharton's work, which, perhaps, is the most popular of its kind, giving One Hundred of the principal Maxims, with a short essay on each, and referring to the most important cases in the various English reports. In addition to these, Mr. Wharton gives no less than Eight Hundred Latin Legal Maxims translated into English. The publishers know of no other work which gives so large a number as above named. But to render this edition still more serviceable to the American lawyer, the publishers, through the kindness of Mr. Austin Abbott, have been enabled to supplement Mr. Wharton's collection by the addition of Part III (taken from Abbott's New York Digest), giving several hundred Maxims which have been applied or commented on by the court of last resort, or other courts of general jurisdiction, of the State of New York, in the cases cited. This list includes, it is believed, all the most important legal Maxims occurring in American practice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Legal Maxims, Vol. 1: With Observations and Cases There is a certain charm about a legal maxim. It seems to put so much wisdom in so few words and with so conclusive efl'ect. Having heard a maxim which applies to a given case, the case appears to be closed. It covers the ground, and silences controversy. The difiiculty about settling a question by this means is that we cannot always stop with one maxim. Generally several maxims are applicable. And the second demands usually a very different answer to the question from that given by the first. When legal maxims are invoked to determine a mooted point, the mind is in the condition of the oft-cited justice who, after hearing one Side, objected to hearing the other, because it unsettled his Opinion. Maxims have therefore always been peculiarly appropriate authorities nu der the systems derived from the Roman law, where a tribunal determines a case free from the embarrassments involved in settling or unsettling pre cedents, and needs chiefly to invoke a sound principle as a justification for an isolated decision. When the attempt is made, under our system of juris prudence, to solve a question by maxims, it usually results in resolving the question into another double question quite as debatable as the first, viz. Which of two maxims is properly applicable? For instance, Equality is equity, but on the other hand, He who is prior in time is stronger in right, and The law aids the vigilant, not the negligent. Upon almost every subject the maxims of jurisprudence balance themselves against each other in this way; and the function of justice is to hold the scales so that the preponderating principle shall determine the cause.

Book Description
Using contemporary illustrations, Legal Maxims in Islamic Criminal Law delves into the theoretical and practical studies of al-Qawaid al-Fiqhiyyah in Islamic legal theory. It elucidates the importance of this concept in the application of Islamic law and demonstrates how the concept relates to the objectives of Islamic law (maqāṣid al-Sharī‘ah), generally. Included in this examination are the following maxims: al-Umūr bi-Maqāṣidihā ("Matters shall be Judged by their Objectives"); al-Yaqīn lā Yazūl bi-sh-Shakk ("Certainty Cannot be Overruled by Doubt"); al-Mashaqqa Tajlib at-Taysīr ("Hardship begets Facility"); Lā Ḍarar wa-lā Ḍirār ("No Injury or Harm shall be Inflicted or Reciprocated"); and al-ʿĀda Muḥakkama ("Custom is Authoritative").
