Mark Satin (born 1946) is an American political theorist, author, and newsletter publisher, best known for contributing to three political perspectives – neopacifism in the 1960s, New Age politics in the 1970s and 1980s, and radical centrism in the 1990s and 2000s. After emigrating to Canada at the age of 20 to avoid serving in the Vietnam War, Satin co-founded the Toronto Anti-Draft Programme to assist war resisters in Canada, and wrote the Manual for Draft-Age Immigrants to Canada (1968), which sold nearly 100,000 copies. His book New Age Politics (1978) described an emerging culture focused on simple living, decentralism, and global responsibility, and he expanded these themes in the political newsletter New Options (1984–92). He also co-drafted the foundational statement of the U.S. Green Party, "Ten Key Values", in 1984. After a period of political disillusion, Satin launched a new political newsletter and wrote Radical Middle (2004). Both projects criticized political partisanship and sought to promote mutual learning across social and cultural divides, but the book was not warmly received by many on the traditional left or right of the American political spectrum.

The Chief Justice of the Common Pleas was the head of the Court of Common Pleas, which was the second-highest common lawcourt in the English legal system until 1875, when it became part of the High Court of Justice. As such, the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas was one of the highest judicial officials in England, behind only the Lord High Chancellor and the Lord Chief Justice of England. The position of Chief Justice of the Common Pleas was formalised in 1272 with the raising of Sir Gilbert of Preston to Chief Justice, and from then on it was a formally appointed role similar to the positions of Lord Chief Justice and Chief Baron of the Exchequer. When the High Court was created in 1875, the three common law courts became separate divisions of it until 1880, when the three common law divisions were merged; John Coleridge(pictured), the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, became Lord Chief Justice, and the offices of Chief Justice of the Common Pleas and Chief Baron were abolished.
