Legal Questions: Soul and Body

Legal Questions:
Soul And Body

The question to be considered en banc is this:
Is the soul per se
responsible
for the body's actions?

de nova

Is the body's actus reus
the results
of a mens reus
that is ultra vires
of the soul?

voir dire

Consider carefully the prima facie evidence!
The body is the container
the soul the contents.

lThis being the case,
is a violent act against the body
an act that is in personam,
in rem,
or quasi in rem?

stare decisis
