Starting with the first governing body in 1607, the author traces the origins and evolution of various institutions like the monthly courts, circuit courts, and the ecclesiastical court. It then examines the role of the assembly, which acted as the highest court of appeal in the colony until 1682, when appeals to England became more common. The author also discusses the challenges faced by the judiciary, such as corruption and the influence of the governor.
