When Bad Men Combine
Author: Shawn Francis Peters
Publisher: LSU Press
ISBN: 0807179612
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 371
Book Description
The Star Route scandal captured the nation’s attention for more than a decade, with newspapers throughout the United States characterizing it as an unprecedented case of Gilded Age graft. Shawn Francis Peters’s When Bad Men Combine provides a glimpse into this uniquely tumultuous period marked by brazen greed and duplicity. In the first book to offer a full recounting of the Star Route maelstrom, which roiled American politics during the 1870s and 1880s, Peters reveals how postal service corruption resulted in a remarkable legal case that featured jury bribery and document theft. When Bad Men Combine follows the saga to its culmination as two sensational criminal trials presented evidence implicating some of the most prominent men in America and, perhaps, led to the assassination of President James Garfield.

Calmly to Poise the Scales of Justice
Author: Jeffrey Brandon Morris
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 456
Book Description
This is the first full-scale history of two of the nation's most important courts: the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (often called the nation's "second most important court") and the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The Court of Appeals has become the undisputed chief tribunal for administrative law in the United States and is the court to which Presidents often look when appointing Supreme Court justices. The District Court has become the principal venue for oversight of the executive branch of the federal government. Morris considers the factors that have influenced the development of each court; portrays the most influential of their judges; and considers the most important decisions and cases lines of each court.
