About Jonathan Sewell

Jonathan Sewell was a lawyer, judge, defensive spymaster and political figure in Lower Canada. Sewell utilized the idea of substantive law over procedural law as much as possible when it came to delegating punishment for criminal cases specifically; Sewell saw the certainty of punishment over the seriousness of punishment as enough to alter the intentions of non-violent or non-hardened criminals. In civil suits, Sewell "likely did more than anyone to professionalize the administration of civil justice prior to the codification of civil laws in 1866."
