Sanhedrin סנהדרין

The tractate describes the courts: three judges in money cases, twenty-three in cases of life and death, the great Sanhedrin of seventy-one. Who may judge and who may testify, how witnesses are examined, why in capital cases one begins with arguments for acquittal and why sentence may not be passed on the same day.

Here are said the words that ground all Jewish thought about the human being: for this reason man was created single, that none should say "my father was greater than yours", and that each should say: for my sake the world was created. And the tenth chapter opens "all Israel have a share in the world to come"—and from it comes the whole discussion of resurrection, the Messiah and reward.

Order: Nezikin. There is Gemara in both the Babylonian and the Jerusalem Talmud.
