Rights, courts and the principles underneath them.
Law is written to be precise rather than readable, which leaves most people relying on what they have absorbed from television. This category covers the actual principles: what presumption of innocence commits a court to, what a jury is for, what habeas corpus protects, and how common law differs from codified systems. It also covers the international bodies and conventions that operate above national courts. The explanations translate the Latin and describe the mechanism, and nothing here is legal advice or specific to any one jurisdiction unless stated.
