Be it enacted by the King’s most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows :–

Now [King Alfred] could begin his great work: of choosing the most important books in the world and translating them into a language that made them available not just to clerics and scholars but to all his people. ...

Secular documents in Latin, such as legal notices, further fettered an illiterate society, by requiring specialist intermediaries to interpret them. Now Alfred wanted to begin to open up this world of knowledge, first to the court and then beyond. Admittedly the peasants in the fields of Wessex would not be able either to read or write in English, but they could be read to, just as Alfred was, and if the language used was English they would not just hear but also understand. Amongst the higher echelons of society, whom Alfred was forcing to become literate, his choice of works would also further extend his influence and improve the perception of his administration, by providing what were essentially "handbooks for government" – manuals for how to behave when the king could not be there to hand down orders in person. Written orders that could be understood by everyone could take the will of the king anywhere and … could not … "be brought to naught by the assault of misty oblivion".

This was the beginning of a revolution in English life and it was in many ways centuries ahead of its time.

Our position on the RPI is clear: we do not think it is a good measure of inflation and discourage its use.

What manner of mind can go back over a stream of conflicting statements of alleged facts, recall the intonations, the demeanour, or even the existence of the witnesses, and retrospectively fit all these recollections into a pattern of evaluation and judgement given him for the first time after the events?

Trial transcripts, juror note-taking, audio-visual and digital presentation methods, juror questions, pre-instruction, plain language directions, written directions and structured decision aids (also known as routes [or steps] to verdict). …

Juror note-taking refers to the practice of encouraging jurors to take notes during the trial and providing them with materials to do so and there is evidence to suggest that this assists jurors to remember the evidence they have heard, especially if they are given trial-ordered notebooks (structured notebooks that help jurors to organise their notes). The evidence also suggests that juror note-taking is at least as effective — if not more so — than providing jurors with a full transcript of trial evidence. … [T]here is [also] evidence that pre-instruction — the practice of directing jurors on the substantive legal issues in the case before evidence is led — can also improve memory of the evidence. The reason for this may be that it assists jurors in identifying relevant evidence as it is led and provides a framework for organising this. Despite concerns that pre-instruction might cause jurors to reach their verdict decisions prematurely, there is no indication from the relevant studies that this is the case. …

There is also evidence that pre-instruction improves juror memory for legal directions — most likely for the straightforward reason that jurors hear the main points of the directions twice. … There is, however, a far more obvious method of improving recall of judicial directions, which is to provide directions to jurors in writing and, unsurprisingly, empirical research demonstrates that jurors who are provided with written directions are better able to remember and re-state those directions.

It is currently fashionable to refer to something as in place, and when claiming credit for it to say that you have put-in-place whatever it is (retaining this word order even when it is inappropriate): I have put in place arrangements for insurance (rather than the more natural I have put arrangements in place). Whichever the word order, putting in place skews the meaning by emphasising the wrong part of the sentence, in that it suggests that your job has been to move pre-existing arrangements from the wrong place to somewhere more useful. Putting in place is an example of nominalisation [p.132 of the 3rd edition].


corruptly attempted to persuade another person to hinder, delay, or prevent communication of information to federal criminal investigators.


you can find the defendant guilty only if the government proves the following four things beyond a reasonable doubt:

1. The defendant attempted to persuade another person to interfere with the government’s investigation or prosecution of illegal activity;
   
   
2. She did this deliberately, knowing what she was doing rather than acting in ignorance or by mistake;
   
   
3. She intended to interfere with, delay, or prevent another person from giving information to a federal law enforcement officer;
   
   
4. That information related to a federal offense that someone had committed, may have committed, or was planning to commit.

There is a need for the questioner to continue to look at the Deaf person when the person is answering the question. This is an interesting point. When a solicitor or police officer asks a question of the Deaf person, the Deaf person has to watch the interpreter (who should be positioned ideally next to the solicitor); the solicitor while asking the question should be looking at the Deaf person (not the interpreter). When the Deaf person answers the question, he/she will now look at the solicitor (not the interpreter). This means that the solicitor cannot write down at the same time as listening to the interpreter. If the solicitor tries to look away, a BSL user will stop the conversation as this is a sign of disinterest. In a Deaf conversation, the viewer never looks away, unless he/she wishes to be rude or when the participants are in an argument. A Deaf person answering a question, therefore, needs eye contact with the person who asked the question. Without this the answer will be problematic.
