Wardle, in an interrogatory yet easy to understand manner, dissects the concept of legal guilt. This 'Overview', is narrated in a dramatic and enchanting fashion. Wardle penned the 'Overview' at the start of the period referred to in centuries gone by, as the 'Festival of Saturnalia'. In it, Wardle is the Saturnalicious Princeps or the Slave Queen, giving the gift or sigillaria to members of society, legal professionals, judges, and everyone else in between, as a bone to chew on. It is well-researched and sets the tone for the ten codices to follow.
