Homer Cummings & Carl McFarland, Federal Justice: Chapters in the History of Justice and the Federal Executive. 1st Ed.

Description

Homer Cummings and Carl McFarland wrote Federal Justice as an unpredictably strange history of the American judicial system.

Cummings was Attorney General of the United States and McFarland a Special Assistant when they produced this fascinating general history of the development of the federal judiciary. There is the strange record of statutes without penalties, courts without judges, a federal domain without laws or police, officers without funds, lawlessness without restraint, and the startlingly regular recurrence of rebellion and domestic violence.

A classic, beautifully designed Mid-20th Century dust jacket! Scarce! Very good; clipped, darkened, and lightly chipped dust jacket.
