What is "Marshal Law"?
 

Isn't it martial law? All these people talking about Marshall law.. I thought it was some new emergency procedure or something until I sounded it out.

Just had to get that out of my system.

It is when the military takes control. Lots of different rules.

Marshal law sounds like a TV show to me. :1orglaugh

It IS spelled martial law btw.

maybe he has the answer you're looking for...

I love martial arts, but that show cracks me up every time i happen to catch a segment of it... :1orglaugh

What you don't want is Martial Law across an entire country....

I know what Martial Law is. I just had no idea what Marshall Law was.

I think it's kinda like seed weed.

Martial law is the system of rules that takes effect (usually after a formal declaration) when a military authority takes control of the normal administration of justice (and usually of the whole state).

Martial law is instituted most often when it becomes necessary to favor the activity of military authorities and organizations, usually for urgent unforeseen needs, and when the normal institutions of justice either cannot function or could be deemed too slow or too weak for the new situation; e.g., due to war, major natural disaster, civil disorder, in occupied territory, or after a coup d'état. The need to preserve the public order during an emergency is the essential goal of martial law. However, declaration of martial law is also sometimes used by dictatorships, especially military dictatorships, to enforce their rule.

Usually martial law reduces some of the personal rights ordinarily granted to the citizen, limits the length of the trial processes, and prescribes more severe penalties than ordinary law. In many countries martial law prescribes the death penalty for certain crimes, even if ordinary law doesn't contain that crime or punishment in its system.

In many countries martial law imposes particular rules, one of which is curfew. Often, under this system, the administration of justice is left to military tribunals, called courts-martial. The suspension of the writ of habeas corpus is likely to occur.

hahaha.. I love all the people responding as to what "martial law" is and totaly missing the whole point of the thread. Classic GFY :thumbsup

2 types of law
 

Marshall law is for community college and high school graduates or dropouts. Martial law is for the college educated. The rules of engaement are the same for both types of law, but those under martial law will have a deeper imtellectual understanding of how deeply they are FUCKED.

1) skim
2) assume
3) react

heheh

The John Marshall Law School, or Marshall Law for short.

New Orleans is situated on a huge marsh, so in this case law and order has to be established in a marsh..... thus the term marshal law is used. :D
