Good Guide

In a long review of Acemoglu and Robinson’s 2019 The Narrow Corridor McCloskey praises their scholarship but criticizes their relentless statism—their enthusiasts for a bigger and bigger Stato, so long as it is somehow “caged.” Their case is mechanical, materialist, and structuralist, none of which is a good guide to history or politics. Their theory of social causation mixes up necessary with sufficient conditions, though they are not unusual among political scientists an economists in doing so. They downplay the role of ideas, which after all made the modern world through liberalism. They recognize how dangerous the modern “capable” state can be, what they call The Leviathan, after Hobbes. But their construal of “liBerty” is the provision of goodies to children by a beneficent Leviathan. It is not the adultism that in fact made the modern world of massive enrichment and true liberty. Their vision is deeply illiberal, and mistaken as science.

Fact Finding

This chapter discusses the start of the work of the Extraordinary African Chambers (EAC) on investigating the case against Hissène Habré and others. The role of the Investigative Chamber was to undertake pre-trial preparation by performing whatever acts are necessary to uncover the truth and by looking for both incriminating and exonerating evidence to determine whether the trial should occur. Initially planned to take fifteen months, the investigating phase ended up taking nearly two years, from July of 2013 through February of 2015. At the end of the investigation, the investigating judges drafted the indictment that the Prosecutor then proceeded to present to the court. Judge Jean Kandé was one of the Senegalese investigative judges for the EAC. Their investigation resulted in the indictment of Habré and five of his subordinates. The chapter then describes the investigation phase, the challenges of securing Chad's cooperation with in situ fact-finding, and the benefits of working across international borders with other local actors.

Defence Counsel

The judge at a trial on indictment must be a professional judge (i.e., a High Court judge, circuit judge or deputy circuit judge, or recorder). The distribution of work between these various types of judge is described at 14.14. The prosecution must be legally represented; the accused usually chooses to be so, and will probably be able to obtain representation from the Legal Aid Agency. Although some solicitors now have rights of audience in the Crown Court, legal representation for trial on indictment still usually involves instructing solicitors who in turn brief counsel (see 14.21 to 14.23). The following Paragraphs deal with some aspects of the role of prosecuting and defence counsel, and their relationship with the judge. The discussion is based upon decided cases and also upon the Code of Conduct for the Bar. The Code does not have the force of law, but is of great persuasive value, and a barrister who conforms with its spirit cannot be guilty of a breach of professional discipline.
