Mar 7– “Of Judicature” by Francis Bacon (1612)

Summary: Kevin Francis Bacon explains the role of judges, and his opinions on judicial philosophy. 

Commentary: I think Bacon's theories are fairly agreeable (more that they're kind of basic and hard to argue with.) More importantly, this is a great "survey" type writing for something that more people should know about, but probably don't. What does a judge do? What kind of principles are they supposed to abide by? I wouldn't mind TF5SOB had more of this type of reading about background societal knowledge. I also appreciate that he translates his own Latin. Until he stops halfway thought.
