EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the early days of World War I, Sir Samuel Evans, a distinguished British jurist, presides over the first Prize Court held at the London Law Courts since 1856. The image, taken in September 1914, captures a significant moment in legal history as the court resumed its operations amidst the chaos and uncertainty of wartime. The Prize Court was established to settle disputes arising from maritime commerce during wartime. With many shipping lanes disrupted and goods in transit at risk, the need for a swift and effective resolution mechanism was paramount. Sir Samuel Evans, as the President of the Prize Court, bore the responsibility of ensuring that justice was served fairly and efficiently. The courtroom, adorned with ornate woodwork and grandiose architecture, stands as a stark contrast to the turbulent times outside. The solemn faces of the judges and the attentive demeanor of the legal counsel and witnesses reflect the gravity of the proceedings. The photograph offers a glimpse into the meticulous process of adjudication, with documents and maps spread out on the table and the intense focus of those present. The 1910s, and particularly the period surrounding World War I, marked a pivotal time in the history of international law. The Prize Court, with Sir Samuel Evans at its helm, played a crucial role in upholding the rule of law during this tumultuous era. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring importance of the legal system, even in the face of war and adversity. The John Barrett Collection / Mary Evans Picture Library, from Mary Evans Prints Online, preserves this historical image, allowing us to witness a moment in time that continues to resonate with relevance and significance.
