Talk:Public law
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anything on suing county zoning dept? 5 or six years of ridiculous, over the top charges by extraordinarily cruel dept? Too high grass where there is virtually none, "storing" vehicle with a new tag, moving van called a "commercial vehicle" for a $500 fine. Some say it's Cubans wanting to get rid of the last anglo ( greek), some that it's revenue enhancement ( a citizens commitee advertised this on a handout !), perhaps if I sell the house they can triple the taxes. I know this might seem trivial to many, but multiplied it can end many freedoms especially for the old, handicapped, legally unsure and innocent, as I am of all charges ( adm court has ruled so, but only because I fought very hard for my rights, I am strongly considering a harassment suit) .Miami.
More generally, perhaps wiki can get a legal research site together? Links? I'll probably add some to the discussion page as time goes by, but I feel I must be missing some or the www is not living up to it's potential. Wiki could fill an often desperate need on this critical area. Perhaps some working groups/pages to maximize the utility of health and law ...pages? The classical start would be to list previous best efforts/observations... WblakesxWblakesx
[edit] 1700 or 1701?
I noticed the red link on the Act of Settlement of 1700. The disambig page for Act of Settlement links to an article for and Act of 1701, and notes the variability of dates because of the switch to the Gregorian calendar. Should it be changed to 1701 to match the article? dsws 01:43, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] common law
the current version confuses two different distinctions: public law vs. private law and Common law vs statute or Roman law. English common law is one particular legal system, which includes both civil and criminal matters. In political science, the term "public law" is used only for the law (whether constitutional or statute) that constitutes or governs state authorities and agencies.
