It presented short, humorous vignettes which ran with musical accompaniment rather than a soundtrack, and challenged panellists to guess which obscure law was being broken by the Lawbreaker character portrayed by Paul Soles , who always got arrested at the end of the vignette Robert Warner actor Robert Warner starred as the police officer . The vignettes were quite subtle, and more often than not, despite many guesses, the panellists were unable to come up with the law that was actually being broken. The vignettes alternated with depictions of actual court cases, presented in a series of still cartoons, in storyboard format, with narration. The narrator would end by asking a question about how the judge eventually ruled. The four panellists would each guess what the judge decided, and why, and each panellist would conclude by lighting up a large Yes or No in front of his or her seat. After all four panellists had guessed, the answer would be revealed. Paul Soles himself was the first show host for the initial 1971 summer episodes. Austin Willis became host from the regular 1971 fall season until the end of the series.

Nationality law is the branch of law concerned with the questions of nationality and citizenship , and how these statuses are acquired, transmitted, or lost. By Customary international law custom , a Sovereign state state has the right to determine who its nationals and citizens are. Such determinations are usually made by custom, statutory law , or case law precedent , or some combination. In some cases, determinations of nationality are also governed by public international law &mdash for example, by Treaty treaties on statelessness and the European Convention on Nationality . Principles Broadly speaking, nationality law is based either on jus soli or jus sanguinis , or on a combination of the two. Jus soli Latin language Latin the law of the soil is the principle by which a child born within a country s territorial jurisdiction area jurisdiction acquires that country s nationality. Jus sanguinis Latin language Latin the law of the blood is the principle by which a child acquires the nationality of his or her parents. Today, most if not all countries apply a mixture of these two principles neither granting citizenship to everyone born within the country s jurisdiction, nor denying citizenship to the children born abroad. International Treaties International law generally recognizes the right of states to set their own policy concerning nationality. ref name Elgar Gerard Ren de Groot, Nationality Law, in ELGAR ENCYCLOPEDIA OF COMPARATIVE LAW 476 492,479 Jan Smiths ed., 2006 . ref Nevertheless, there are a number of international treaties that are relevant to nationality law. ref name Elgar ref See also Citizenship Act Citizenship History of citizenship Jus soli Jus sanguinis Dual nationality Nationality Passport Immigration law Political asylum Human migration References reflist Nationality laws Articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Category Nationality law cs Naturalizace fr Droit de la nationalit ja tr Vatanda l k hukuku ... more details
