I got an idea for a short story about a lawyer trying to help a servant girl avoid getting hanged for poisoning her master. Okay, maybe it's a novella, there seems to be a bit too much twist and turns for a short story. I'm three pages in and have some general idea of how it's gonna play out. I think my story takes place around 1700. Could go earlier too, I guess, but I feel 1700 would do nicely for courtroom drama.
But I need things like cops, attorneys, legal structures, etc, to fit into a fantasy world. I guess a starting point would be how those things played out in older times. Are there any good resources out there for this particular subject?
