Barrister
A barrister is a type of lawyer in common law jurisdictions. Barristers mostly specialise in courtroom advocacy and litigation. Their tasks include taking cases in superior courts and tribunals, drafting legal pleadings, researching law and giving expert legal opinions. Barristers are distinguished from both solicitors and chartered legal executives, who have more direct access to clients, and may do transactional legal work. It is mainly barristers who are appointed as judges, and they are rarely hired by clients directly. In some legal systems, including those of Scotland, South Africa, Scandinavia, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and the British Crown dependencies of Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man, the word ''barrister'' is also regarded as an honorific title. In a few jurisdictions, barristers are usually forbidden from "conducting" litigation, and can only act on the instructions of a solicitor, and increasingly - chartered legal executives, who perform tasks such ...

British Israelism
British Israelism (also called Anglo-Israelism) is the British nationalist, pseudoarchaeological, pseudohistorical and pseudoreligious belief that the people of Great Britain are "genetically, racially, and linguistically the direct descendants" of the Ten Lost Tribes of ancient Israel. With roots in the 16th century, British Israelism was inspired by several 19th century English writings such as John Wilson's 1840 ''Our Israelitish Origin''. From the 1870s onward, numerous independent British Israelite organizations were set up throughout the British Empire as well as in the United States; as of the early 21st century, a number of these organizations are still active. In America, the idea gave rise to the Christian Identity movement. The central tenets of British Israelism have been refuted by archaeological, ethnological, genetic, and linguistic research. History Earliest recorded expressions According to Brackney (2012) and Fine (2015), the French Huguenot magistrate M. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Its activities primarily concern advocacy and policy research, training, publishing, grants and research support, especially for early career historians, and awards and professional recognition.

Dominick McCausland
Dominick McCausland or Dominick M'Causland LL.D. QC (1806–1873) was an Irish barrister and Christian author. Career A barrister by profession, McCausland obtained a BA in law at Trinity College Dublin in 1835 further followed by a doctorate in 1859. He was later appointed as Crown Prosecutor. Biblical ethnology McCausland's earliest publications advocate a form of premillennialism. His argument about Biblical prophecy requires the Bible to be a literal historical narrative, and he realised that this was called into question by the difference between the time-scale of Creation in Genesis and the age of the earth as revealed by geology. His book ''Sermons in Stone'' advocates the view that the "days" of Genesis were not twenty-four-hour days but geological ages. McCausland credits Hugh Miller with this theory. McCausland was an early proponent of pre-adamism. In 1864, McCausland published the first of two works on ethnology, ''Adam and the Adamite''. McCausland sought to ha ...

Edward Hine
Edward Hine (10 February 1825 – 15 October 1891) was an influential proponent of British Israelism in the 1870s and 1880s, drawing on the earlier work of Richard Brothers (1794) and John Wilson (1840). Hine went as far as to conclude that "It is an utter impossibility for England ever to be defeated. And this is another result arising entirely from the fact of our being Israel." Career A bank clerk by occupation, Hine claimed that he had been inspired by a lecture given by Wilson, which he heard at the age of 15, but he himself did not publish on the topic for nearly thirty years, giving his first public lecture in 1869. For several years Hine published a weekly journal, ''The Nation's Leader,'' and a monthly magazine, ''Life from the Dead'' (from 1873 onwards). In 1880, Hine founded his own British Israel organization, "The British-Israel Identity Corporation." David Baron in his ''The History of the Ten "Lost" Tribes'' cites claims identifying Hine himself with the "Delivere ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
