This chapter demonstrates the forensic expertise of certain key late Roman ecclesiastics and lay Christians. This expertise was not simply gleaned from a general late Roman legal culture; the biographical evidence suggests a career-orientated education. The training of leading ecclesiastics in forensic rhetoric may provide one explanation as to why canon law was largely developed through similar techniques as late Roman law. The creative elaboration of these two legal systems was thus reciprocal, rather than parallel. In other words, the development of early canon law in late antiquity was framed by a constant case-specific interaction between forensic practitioners within the church and forensic practice outside the church.Less

This chapter argues that the fact that some key late Roman ecclesiastics were trained as forensic practitioners is crucial to explaining how it was that early ‘canon law’ was elaborated using specific techniques and procedures ‘borrowed’ from Roman law. The various foundational strands of early Judaeo-Christian ‘internal’ ideas and practices, forensic practice and church councils, and forensic practice and the papal elaboration of ‘ecclesiastical’ law are discussed.Less

This introductory chapter begins with a brief description of the main argument of the book, namely that forensic practice and what happened in the courtrooms, set alongside other broader socio-legal norms and practices, are essential components in aiding the understanding of how ‘law’ functioned in the later Roman Empire. An overview of the three parts of the book is presented.Less

The Ethical Practice of Forensic Psychology: A Casebook highlights the ethical standards and guidelines set forth in the American Psychological Association’s (APA) Ethical Principles of Psychologist and Code of Conduct (EPPCC; APA, 2010) and the more recently published Specialty Guidelines for Forensic Psychology (SGFP; APA, 2013). This book provides readers with a practical review of these ethical principles and professional guidelines in the context of forensic case vignettes with corresponding commentary by leaders in the field. It is designed to serve as a resource for a broad audience, including academics, psychology graduate and postdoctoral students, practitioners, mental health counselors, social workers, and legal professionals. Concepts are presented using a best-practices model that encourages and promotes engaging in empirically supported decision-making. This book is distinct from all others published in this area, given its inclusion and integration of the following: (a) review of the ethical standards and guidelines contained in the APA’s EPPCC and SGFP, in addition to numerous types of ethical dilemmas encountered in forensic practice; (b) review of the relevant empirical literature and case law/legal statutes; (c) presentation of ethical dilemmas typically encountered by forensic practitioners in the form of case vignettes, which correspond to each ethical standard and professional guideline; and (d) commentary by experts in forensic psychology in response to each vignette.Less

This chapter traces a debate spawned by professor of criminal psychology Muhammad Fathi, while paying particular attention to the social role of the criminal at midcentury. It argues that the convergences or divergences found between psychoanalysis and the law were in part related to disputes regarding the causal nature of crime. Further complicating these debates was the juridical status of psychoanalysis itself as it struggled to assert its autonomy as a field of therapeutic practice within the Egyptian legal system. At the center of all of these arguments lay the criminal, themselves increasingly enmeshed within new legal and forensic practices, as well as multiple legal regimes over the course of the twentieth century.Less
