""Common Sense Versus Judicial Legislation"" is a book written by A Layman in 1874 as a review of a law recently passed by the Supreme Court of Massachusetts. The author argues that the law is a result of judicial legislation, which he defines as judges making laws instead of interpreting them. The book discusses the importance of common sense in the legal system and the dangers of allowing judges to create laws. The author provides examples of cases where he believes the court overstepped its bounds and made decisions based on personal beliefs rather than legal precedent. The book is a critique of the judicial system and a call for a return to common sense and strict interpretation of the law. It is a valuable resource for those interested in legal history and the role of the judiciary in shaping the law.Also Includes The Rule In Minot�������s Case Again, As Restated By The Supreme Judicial Court Of Massachusetts; And A Third Chapter On The Rule In Minot�������s Case.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
