Court - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The extent of a court's power (authority) to hear the various matters which come before its " jurisdiction " — may stem from a provision of a written constitution, from an enabling statute or, for example in English law, it may be inherent, deriving from the Common Law origin of the court. A court is an official, public forum which a public power establishes by lawful authority to adjudicate disputes, and to dispense civil, labour, administrative and criminal justice under the law. Some courts may function with a jury that make decisions about the facts before the court under the direction of the judge; in other courts, decisions of both fact and law are made by the judge or judges, this is particularly common in appellate courts where juries are unusual in most jurisdictions. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Court   (451 words)

Encyclopedia: Gallican Liberties Secondly, it was limited by the authority of the general councils and the bishops, and lastly by the canons and customs of particular churches, which the pope was bound to take into account when he exercised his authority. Besides, the canons alleged were among those that had been established with the consent of the pope and of the Churches, the plenitude of the pontifical jurisdiction was therefore safeguarded and Bossuet pointed out that this article had called forth hardly any protests from the adversaries of Gallicanism. A Biblical canon is an exclusive list of books written during the formative period of the Jewish or Christian faiths; the leaders of these communities believed these books to be inspired by God or to express the authoritative history of the relationship between God and his people (although there may... www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Gallican-Liberties   (8844 words)

The Hindu Business Line : Hope is independent of the apparatus of logic Independent is `free from outside control, not subject to another's authority,' is what one may say on the authority of Concise Oxford English Dictionary. "In English church history, Independents advocated local congregational control of religious and church matters, without any wider geographical hierarchy, either ecclesiastical or political." If you can handle a bit of logic, try the disambiguation page at http://en.wikipedia.org. An independent country self-governs, and an independent witness is not connected with another, though Charles de Gaulle once remarked, "No country without an atom bomb could properly consider itself independent."
