The Courts and Judges of the States have concurrent jurisdiction with the Courts and Judges of the Confederate States in the issuing of writs of habeas corpus, and in the enquiring into the causes of detention, even where such detention is by an officer or agent of the Confederate States.The courts of this State, as well as the individual Judges, have jurisdiction to issue writs of habeas corpus and to have the return made to them in term time and, as a court, to consider and determine of the causes of detention.
This was from: State review of habeas corpus
Also, I found the following in The Weekly Mississippian (Jackson, Mississippi) of Aug 21, 1861:
The Confederate States' CourtsThe Confederate States Supreme Court, says the Richmond Examiner, will hold no session until it shall be organized under the provisions of the Permanent Constitution. Under the Constitution of the Provisional Government, it was provided that the Supreme Court shall consist of all the District Judges, and shall sit at such times and places as Congress shall appoint. Under the Permanent Constitution, however, the Supreme Court has not been established; and during the existing hiatus in our judiciary system, the clerks of the District Courts are empowered to issue writs of error, with the same force and effect as issued out of the Supreme Court, and returnable on the second Monday of its first term after its establishment.
Did Jefferson Davis overrule or ignore Confederate courts on habeas corpus cases?
And was never established, in spite of the fact that the confederate constitution clearly required it.
Did Jefferson Davis overrule or ignore Confederate courts on habeas corpus cases?
His minions did.
