ourtney spends a lot of time doing legal research to make sure that
her manuscript is both accurate and within the realms of legality. Since the hero of Breath of Honor is a
solicitor, she can't let anything slide! And, because she is just a little crazy, she'll occasionally
answer legal questions when they are posed on the The Beaumonde's writing loop.
Here's where she collects the research she's done.
Devises: A quick guide to the two types of entails, and an explanation of how a good solicitor can help an heiress marry without worrying that her husband will steal everything. Yes, even before the Married Women's Property Act there were remedies.
Crime & Punishment: Courtney explains why you probably wouldn't be able to send a peer to debtor's prison.
o you have a legal question that's not answered here? You can try sending me mail!
Be forewarned that Courtney's only willing to consider questions from the eighteenth or nineteenth centuries. If you need a writ of habeas corpus in 2007, Courtney wishes you the best of luck, and suggests that you find yourself an excellent lawyer.
