Criminal procedure and practice in Palestine. 1947. Handwritten comments. Comprising glued leaves with lists of procedure and comments. - Criminal procedure and practice in Palestine - By E. Salant. Tel-Aviv : S. Bursi LTD., 1947. xii pp., 451 pp. Hard cover. 24.5 cm., yellowing leaves, few aging stains, rubbings on spine and cover, former copy library. Comprising glued leaves with lists of procedure and comments - most in Hebrew. The book is a definitive and comprehensive legal treatise that served as the standard handbook for judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys during the final days of the British Mandatory administration. Compiled by an expert jurist who later became a prominent judge in the State of Israel, the volume meticulously organizes and annotates the complex web of criminal laws, emergency regulations, and procedural rules governing Mandatory Palestine's court systems. Salant unpacks the delicate synthesis of Ottoman law, English common law principles, and local Mandatory ordinances, detailing everything from police arrest powers and cross-examination procedures to the mechanics of filing appeals. Published just a year before the end of the Mandate, this text is highly regarded by legal historians because it represents the peak of British Mandatory jurisprudence - much of which directly formed the infrastructural foundation of Israel’s early criminal justice and legal practice frameworks.
