The Legal Procedure of Cicero's Time is a book written by A. H. J. Greenidge that provides a comprehensive overview of the legal system in ancient Rome during the time of Cicero. The book explores the various laws, procedures, and institutions that governed the Roman legal system and analyzes the role of lawyers and judges in the administration of justice.Greenidge begins by examining the sources of Roman law and the development of legal institutions in the early Republic. He then delves into the details of the legal procedure, including the different types of courts, the roles of the parties involved in a trial, and the methods of evidence and argumentation used in court.The book also explores the social and political context of the Roman legal system, including the influence of the aristocracy and the impact of popular movements on legal reform. Greenidge discusses the role of rhetoric and persuasion in the courtroom, as well as the ethical standards expected of lawyers and judges.Overall, The Legal Procedure of Cicero's Time provides a detailed and insightful look at the legal system of ancient Rome and its relevance to modern legal practice. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of law and the development of legal institutions.1901. Greenidge writes in the Preface that the leading design of this book is to furnish students of Cicero's writings with a clue to the chief legal difficulties which they will meet with in their reading. These difficulties are far more numerous in the sphere of procedure than in that of substantive law; and, as it was quite impossible to write a work of moderate compass which dealt with both branches of the subject, I have thought it better to confine my attention mainly to the former; although, as will easily be understood, it has proved impossible to deal thoroughly with the procedure of the period which I have treated, without touching on many questions of pure law; so intimately are these bound up with the forms in which they were presented to the courts. Partial Contents: Book I. Civil Procedure. Part I. The Courts of the Monarchy and Early Republic; Part II. The Courts of the Ciceronian Period; and Book II. Criminal Procedure.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
