Topic: Penal Laws

Ads by Google      CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Law All laws which inflict penalties for violation of the law are called penal, whether they themselves directly define the manner and amount of penalty, or make it the duty of the judge to inflict according to his judgment a just punishment. That the Divine laws must of necessity be reasonable and just is self-evident, for the will of God is essentially holy and just and can only command what is in harmony with the Divine wisdom, justice, and holiness. Thus the laws which Moses received from God on Mount Sinai and proclaimed to the people of Israel were not human but Divine laws. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09053a.htm   (4389 words)      "Eschatological Fulfilment and the Confirmation of Mosaic Law" by Greg Welty Jesus fulfils the Mosaic law of divorce by standing as the wronged partner, divorcing that partner, refraining from insisting on the penal maximum for that partner, and eventually achieving reconciliation with that partner despite her indecency. The OT law "is properly obeyed," not by practising and teaching that OT law, but "by conforming to" JesusÂ’ word. That is, the entirety of the law and the prophets points to him and prophetically foreshadows him. http://www.the-highway.com/mosaic-law_Welty.html   (9995 words)      Canon Law and Abortion However, Canon Law is not a moral code, it is the administrative, civil, jurisdictional, procedural and penal law of the Catholic Church. In 1591, the law was modified by Gregory XIV so that the penalty would not apply when a fetus was not "animated" or "ensouled" under the Aristo-Aquinan theory of when human life begins (not before 40 days) and gave the local bishops control of these cases. It is subject to many of the same political, administrative and practical influences that shape any other body of law; while the authoritative moral teachings of the Church, per se, belong to a different forum. http://members.aol.com/abtrbng/canonl.htm   (945 words)      Cardinal Bernard Law's 1996 Letter to U.S. Bishops on the Clarification of the Status of Catholics becoming Freemasons Nor can one conclude from the fact that penal law does not cover some sin or that it is removed from it (or changed), that it is permissible to commit it. In the 1723 Book of Constitutions the new attitude toward religious belief was spelled out: "A Mason is obliged by his tenure to obey the moral law; and if he rightly understands the art, he will never be a stupid atheist nor an irreligious libertine. We can apply the general canonical principle that "favorable laws are to be interpreted broadly and odious laws are to be interpreted strictly" (odios a restringenda favorabilia extendenda). http://www.freemasonrywatch.org/cardinallaw.html   (945 words)      Encyclopedia4U - Law - Encyclopedia Article Criminal law (penal law) is the body of laws which regulate governmental sanctions (such as imprisonment and/or fines) as retaliation for crimes against the social order.

Policy Following the revolution period, during which the criminal law system was formed by four strictly Islamic oriented laws,[35] the current Iranian penal law system is built around the Penal Law of July 1991. The legislator seized the opportunity of the issuing of this latest law for compiling the new Iranian Penal code which, accordingly, is composed of a total of 729 articles[36].

Law and Justice The law was magical in so far as the rules of investigation and evidence were dominated by sacral procedures, such as divination, oath, and curse; and it was profane in so far as even penal law was reduced to questions of compensation and payment. It is, of course, true that many rules of Islamic law, particularly in the law of family and in the law of inheritance, not to mention worship and ritual, were, in the nature of things, based on the Qur'an and, we must assume, on the example of Muhammad from the very beginning. He was endowed with the attributes of a religious scholar and lawyer, bound to the sacred law in the same way as qadis were bound to it, and given the same right to the exercise of personal opinion as was admitted by the schools of law. http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/med/schacht.html   (9323 words)      Law firm: Facts and details from Encyclopedia Topic Criminal law (also known as penal law) is the body of law that regulates governmental sanctions (such as imprisonment and/or fines) as retaliation...

Norman, 85 N.Y.2d 609 (1995) The fact that the evidence might have also supported a false promise theory is of no moment, since, as long as their theory was supported by the adduced facts, the People had the right to have the case submitted to the jury under the Penal Law subdivision they had chosen. With regard to larceny by false pretenses, the Penal Law incorporates the historical elements that were applied at common law, i.e., a false material statement about a past or presently existing fact (Penal Law § 155.05 [2] [a]; see, People v Churchill, supra). Their appeals from the judgments ofconviction require us to revisit the specialized requirements for the crimes that were known as larceny by false promise and larceny by false pretenses before the adoption of the Penal Law. http://wings.buffalo.edu/law/bclc/web/nynorman.html   (2860 words)      New York Criminal Law: A Web A comprehensive on-line digest of New York criminal law, the New York Criminal Law Web is part of a comprehensive program to reform American penal law teaching, scholarship, and practice.

Because court decisions in civil law traditions are brief and not amenable to establishing precedent, much of the exposition of the law in civil law traditions is done by academics rather than by judges, this is called doctrine and may be published in treatises or in journals such as Recueil Dalloz in France.
