The book examines the lives and actions of judges notorious for their complicity with despots and the oppressive use of judicial power. Through this exploration, it delves into the themes of justice, tyranny, and the manipulation of the legal system. The opening of this work sets the stage by discussing the historical significance of the judicial power, particularly in the context of the Anglo-Saxon and Norman influences on law and governance. It reflects on how the evolution of the English judicial system shaped the struggle for liberty and justice throughout British history. Additionally, the introduction mentions the biographies derived from Lord Campbell's writings, laying the groundwork for narratives on judges like Roger le Brabacon and Robert Tresilian, who played key roles in England's political and legal landscape, often at the expense of justice. The tone suggests a condemnation of those who abused their positions for power and tyranny, inviting readers to consider the implications of judicial authority in both the past and present.
