	Privilege of Peerage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Now, peers are privileged from arrest in civil (but not criminal) cases; they are also entitled to access to the Sovereign to advise him or her on matters of state.
		The Privilege of Peerage extends to all temporal peers and peeresses regardless of their position in relation to the House of Lords; Scottish and Irish peers, therefore, have the Privilege of Peerage.
		Therefore, daughters of peers rank immediately after wives of eldest sons of peers; daughters of eldest sons of peers rank immediately after wives of eldest sons of eldest sons of peers; daughters of younger sons of peers rank after wives of eldest sons of younger sons of pees.

	Rights and Privileges of Peers
		But the principal right of a peer is to a seat in the upper house of Parliament, the House of Lords.
		Scottish peers created since the Act of Union in 1707 are peers of the United Kingdom, and are equivalent in all respects to peers of England created subsequent to 1707 (who are also, technically, peers of the United Kingdom), including a right to a seat in the House of Lords.
		To carry this a bit further, peers usually considered themselves to "own" certain House of Commons seats -- those from the district around their estates, for example -- and often the "election" of their sons or nephews to those seats was mere formality.

		Jury service may be regarded as either a political right, that is, as a form of democratic participation in the exercise of law and justice, or as a civil right--as a matter of individual protection against state authority.
		Under the system of the mixed jury, the defendant's peers were members of his or her community whose practical understanding of justice and everyday experiences were similar to that of the defendant.
		The woman rights movement in the middle and latter part of the nineteenth century stressed that American women were denied the right to a trial by a jury of their peers.

	Peerage Basics
		A peer of the realm is one who holds one (or more of five possible) title(s) of nobility and the estate(s) bestowed upon him or his direct ancestor by the monarch.
		Nonetheless, before then they held all of the other privileges which attended their specific peerage, although often if the peerage carried with it some special office, the office would be fulfilled by the peeress's husband.
		But a baronet is not a peer; he does not sit in the House of Lords or enjoy the privileges of peers.

		And, in my judgment, the right of any citizen to follow whatever lawful employment he chooses to adopt (submitting himself to all lawful regulations) is one of his most valuable rights, and one which the legislature of a State cannot invade, whether restrained by its own constitution or not.
		The right of a State to regulate the conduct of its citizens is undoubtedly a very broad and extensive one, and not to be lightly restricted.
		This right to choose one's calling is an essential part of that liberty which it is the object of government to protect; and a calling, when chosen, is a man's property and right.

	Dowager Peeresses
		In the latter event, the widow of the senior peer of the family retains the title of Dowager for life, and the widow of the junior peer in that family is known by her Christian name, e.g., Mary, Countess of X, until she becomes the senior widow.
		When the present peer is unmarried, by custom the widow of the late peer continues to call herself as she did when her husband was living, i.e., without the prefix of (a) dowager, or (b) her Christian name.
		Should the present peer marry, it is usual for the widowed peeress to announce the style by which she wishes to be know in future.

	Furman: Woman's Rights Petition (1854)
		Resolved, That as acquiring property by all just and laudable means, and the holding and devising of the same is a human right, women married and single are entitled to this right, and all the usages or laws which withhold it from them are manifestly unjust.
		Resolved, That every argument in favor of universal suffrage for males is equally in favor of universal suffrage for females, and therefore if men may claim the right of suffrage as necessary to the protection of all their rights in any Government, so may women for the same reason.
		We, therefore, respectfully demand of our Legislature that, at least, the right of such trial by jury be accorded to women equally with men -- that women be eligible to the jury-box, whenever one of their own sex is arraigned at the bar.

		All laws and policies that restrict the rights of people with psychiatric disabilities simply because of their disabilities are inharmonious with basic principles of law and justice, as well as with such landmark civil rights laws as the Americans with Disabilities Act.

		IASSW endorses the position that school children inflicted with the AIDS, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, including the variety of illnesses associated with this complex disease, as well as other students suffering from various infectious diseases, be afforded equal rights and privileges with their peers.
		One of a school social worker's vital roles involves serving as an advocate for children and their parents while simultaneously working as a team member in the school district of which they are employed.

		When we initially examined the situation, we concluded that the problem here lay solely in the fact that highly-privileged and lower-privileged processes were both present in the interactive desktop.
		We pointed out that, by design, all processes on the interactive desktop are peers, and stated that we believed the real solution was to not mix processes of varying privileges.

	Lords Hansard text for 5 Jul 1995 (150705-05)
		He was elected as one of the 28 representative Peers of Ireland prior to the separation of Ireland and the constitution of the Irish Free State.
		If that is so, one could raise an argument that rights and privileges of the Peers of Ireland have not so much been removed as fallen into abeyance because nobody paid a great deal of attention to that matter, which is rather sad.
		On the other hand, if the Irish Peers were representing a part of Ireland and Northern Ireland is still a part of Ireland, and Ireland did not exist politically, then they had to represent someone and it could be argued that they were representing the Peerage of Ireland.

	Rights
		Most of the confusion over the concept of rights comes directly from the fact that people don’t know what a “right” is. I have a son, in law school, and was appalled to learn that he is being taught that rights and privileges are interchangeable things.
		You see, if everything is a “right” then people and courts and politicians would have you believe that individual rights have to be weighed against the government’s rights, or society’s rights.
		It may be that the rights of members of a certain minority have their rights denied at a higher rate than other groups but it is the members, not the minority that has rights.

		In case of a negative outcome which is believed to be directly related to the use of Medical Acupuncture, the case would be forwarded to a special hospital committee, which would evolve to include peers practicing Medical Acupuncture.

		Some people believe that it is cruel to take phone privileges away from teens when they are in a program, that forbidding them to call friends or parents secludes them in a program and infringes upon their rights.
		A program may use the withdrawal and earning of privileges as a tool to help teens realize their behavior had deteriorated enough to be placed there.
		Teens begin to understand that earning privileges helps them to gain some control over their life, the kind of control that is healthy and produces inner strength and growth.

	Dan Gillmor on Grassroots Journalism, Etc.: Free Speech Belongs to Us All
		The EFF is arguing that bloggers have the same right to keep sources secret that traditional journalists do, and they're representing a couple of Mac-centric blogs, fighting against Apple's efforts to force disclosure of user identities in connection with the recent leak of an OSX beta.
		Whereas, in truth, many of the rights and privileges claimed have no support in the case law, such as the vaunted right to protect the confidentiality of sources.
		The power of the press, which with freedom of speech, religion and the right to congregate (protest), is among a very few collective rights identified by the founders, has been insulated from the public by a professionalization that had some very positive and many very negative effects for public discourse.
