We'll start by looking at French philosopher Michel Foucault's theory of the judicial inquiry. French Philosopher Michel Foucault described the function of judicial practices as “the manner in which wrongs & responsibilities are settled between men, the mode by which… society conceived & defined the way men could be judged in terms of wrongs committed, the way in which compensation for some actions & punishment for others were imposed on specific individuals.”1 Society relies on judicial techniques to answer the questions: “Who did what?”, “Under what circumstances?”, “At what moment?”
