		Nowadays life peerages, always of baronial rank, are created under the Life Peerages Act 1958 and entitle the holders to seats in the House of Lords, presuming they meet qualifications such as age and citizenship.
		Life peers were to be chosen from senior judges, civil servants, senior officers of the British Army or Royal Navy, members of the House of Commons who had served for at least ten years, scientists, writers, artists, peers of Scotland and peers of Ireland.
		Life baronies under the Life Peerages Act are theoretically created by the Sovereign, but in practice, none are granted except upon the proposition of the Prime Minister.

		Life estate: The life estate was not inheritable, but was limited in duration to the life of a specified person; upon the expiration of that life, the possession of the land reverted or went over to the fee tenant.
		The common law courts, wedded to the technicalities of seisin, were sometimes unable to protect such a victim, so early in the 15th century the Court of Chancery began to intervene in cases accusing unfaithful grantees and, under equity rules, imposed fines and imprisonment for misconduct.
		In the 17th century, conveyancers who wished to create a life tenancy with contingent remainder as part of a family settlement began to insert a remainder in trust for the life of the life tenant, in case the life estate terminated prematurely, threatening the contingent remainder with destructibility.

		There is a well established doctrine of command responsibility under international law and the law of armed conflict which allows military leaders to face serious criminal sanctions if these leaders failed to prevent, stop, or punish war crimes that are committed by the forces under their command and control.
		But the domestic law doctrine of prosecutorial discretion which might be of avail in a domestic arena would be of no help to him in a prosecution on the international plane for aiding and abetting torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment.
		He wrote the rule of law consisted of (1) the supremacy of “regular law” as opposed to arbitrary power, (2) equality of all before ordinary courts applying ordinary law of the land, and (3) the rights of individuals as defined and enforced by the courts.

	THE RUSSIAN IMPERIAL SUCCESSION By Brien Purcell Horan
		Under the succession laws, as amended in 1886, dynasts who were sons and grandsons of an emperor had the title of Grand Duke, and dynasts of more distant descent (that is, great-grandsons and their descendants) had the title of Prince of Russia.
		His adherents seem to ignore the fact that the succession laws required each dynast to be born of an equal marriage, that is, born of a marriage of a dynast to a spouse of royal birth (or, to be more precise, to a spouse who was a member of a royal or sovereign dynasty).
		Although as stated elsewhere their "re-interpretation" of the Pauline law is clumsy and contradicted by the plain language of the laws themselves, this novel "spin" may nonetheless be confusing to some with only a glancing familiarity with the laws.
