The Power of the Sheriff and the People

We, the people, took control of all decision making within the courts

through grand and trial juries. And the common law sheriff became the only law enforcer

of the court and the county. The common law court is well-established and defined in history,

Black's Law and Bouvier Law. The sheriff is the chief executive and administrative

officer of a county chosen by popular election. His principal duties are an aide of the

criminal and civil courts of record, common law courts, such as serving process,

summoning juries, executing judgments, holding judicial sales, and the like.

He is also the chief conservator of the peace within his territorial jurisdiction. Harston versus Langston.
