10 The first law

10 The first law The law is a matter that affects our daily lives that sometimes we think is very rare. There was a time when the law as we know it today has not been there before. Here are 10 of the first things that are important in the history of the legal world. 

10. First Patent Law

There is evidence that confirms that something like patents was used in some ancient city of Greece. Creator of a new recipe was awarded an exclusive right to cook the food for a year, and practice the same is true in some Roman cities. Modern patent began in Italy in 1474. At that time the Republic of Venice issued a decree that the discovery of new equipment, which has been used, must be reported to the republic to get the right to prevent others from using it. England followed a similar thing with the Statute of Monopolies in 1623 under the reign of King James I, which states that patents can only be given to projects of new invention only.

9. Copyright Law (Copy right) First 

  Copyright (copy right) was not found until the development of printing press technology and literacy rates are even greater. Statute of Anne was the first copy right law and give the author's rights for a specified period. Internationally, the Berne Convention in 1887 to provide protection scope of copy right and still in use today.
 
8. First Universal Suffrage

In 1893, New Zealand became the first country in the world to give women suffrage. This is the first time in the history of the western world women are given legal force by the men. 

7. First Jury  

 The concept of the first modern jury can be traced in the Magna Carta, which gave English nobles the right to be tried by his peers (rather than simply judged by the king or other State officials).

6. First Use of habeas corpus  

 Habeas corpus (literally: you have your body) is a legal act whereby a detainee can be released from detention. Blackstone (British judge) wrote the first record of the use of habeas corpus in the year 1305 during the reign of King Edward I.
 
5. First Lawyer   
 
The first person who can say "lawyer" is probably the orators of ancient Athens. However, Athenian orators faced serious structural obstacles. First, there is a rule that individuals should have to defend their own case, which soon diverted by the increasing tendency of individuals to request a "friend" as an aid, and second, the orators are not allowed to charge for their services. A law banning the year 204 BC Roman lawyer asked for a fee, but this law is widely ignored. Emperor Claudius, which legalized advocacy as a profession and allowed the Roman advocates to become the first lawyers who could practice openly, abolish the ban cost. From the start, unlike Athens, Rome developed a class of specialists who study the law, known as jurisconsult (iuris consulti).
 
4. Perpetrators Criminal Arrest with DNA 

First  Colin Pitchfork was the first criminal perpetrator is caught with evidence of DNA fingerprints. Proven Pitchfork raped and murdered two girls in Narborough on November 21, 1983 and July 31, 1986. He was arrested on September 19, 1987, admitted his actions and was sentenced to life imprisonment on January 23, 1988.

3. Use of the First Fingerprint 

It is not known exactly when the fingerprints are used. But we can see the documentation of an important use of fingerprints as follows: 14th century AD, Persian: at various official government documents used fingerprints, and a doctor observed that no two fingerprints are identical
1823: Jan Evangelista Purkyne, a professor of anatomy at the University of Breslau, published his thesis discussing 9 fingerprint patterns, but he did not mention the use of fingerprints to identify someone.
1880: Dr. Henry Faulds published his first paper on this subject in the science journal Nature in 1880. Back to the UK in 1886, he offered this concept to the Metropolitan Police in London, but was rejected.
1892: Sir Francis Galton published a detailed statistical model of fingerprint analysis and identification and encourage its use in forensic science in his book titled Finger Prints.
1892: Juan Vucetich, an Argentine police who had been studying Galton pattern types for a year, making the first criminal fingerprint identification. He successfully proved Francisca Rojas guilty of murder after showing a bloody fingerprint found at the scene is to possess the woman. 

2. Police First  
The concept of police paid the government has emerged in the 17th century and early 18th century, known as Nicolas Delamare's Traite de la Police ("Treatise on the Police"), first published 1705. Germany Polizeiwissenschaft (Police Studies) also is a theoretical formulation of the police is important. In 1667, the reign of King Louis XIV created the first modern police force in the largest city in Europe.
 









1. First Written Law  

Legal history is closely associated with the development of civilization. Ancient Egyptian law, since 3000 BC, has a civil code which may be divided into twelve books. This is based on the concept of Ma'at, marked by tradition, rhetorical speech, social equality and justice is not impartial. Around 1760 BC the ancient Babylonians under King Hammurabi, make laws that codified and incorporated into the stone to the public in the market, this is known as the Codex Hammurabi.
