An Essay on the Trial by Jury
A U.S. state whose statutory juror qualifications or selection method are surveyed as part of the author's state-by-state argument that American juries are generally illegal.
In New Jersey, Maryland, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Mississippi, the jurors are required to be freeholders.
The Unconstitutionality of Slavery
State whose slave statutes are argued to have lacked legal force.
New Jersey also was in the same situation.
The Genius of the Common Law
American state noted as a jurisdiction where the replication de injuria reportedly remains in full force.
’ As that doctrine is not intelligible without some detailed acquaintance with the forms of common law pleading, and has been obsolete for more than half a century alike in England and in New York, I shall merely observe that any one desiring an explanation of it may readily be satisfied in the adjacent State of New Jersey, where, if I am not mistaken, the replication de injuria is in full force to this day.
