While assaults upon freemen resulting in injury or death were punished in draconian fashion, monetary damages were the measure of reparation for the injury or wrongful death of a slave and were payable not to the slave or his family, but to the slave-owner. Liability for professional malpractice or negligence resulting ...

Today however, we use the internet to give us a deeper depth to our content and these websites fail to do that. In effect they are all ...
