Is legal education properly understood as technical education? Law in the Liberal Arts answers "no" and suggests that our society is not well served by the current professionalization of legal knowledge.

Legal education in the United States is generally located in law schools dedicated to professional training.Sarat believes that this situation impoverishes our ability to see the...

ISBN: 9781107627031 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Rather than abstract philosophical discussion or yet another analysis of legal doctrine, Speech and Silence in American Law seeks to situate speech and silence, locating them in particular circumstances and contexts and asking how context matters in facilitating speech or demanding silence. To understand speech and silence we have to inquire into their social life and examine the occasions and practices that call them forth and that give them meaning.

ISBN: 9781107692442 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. There is an enormous scholarly literature on law's treatment of religion. Most scholars now recognize that although the U.S. Supreme Court has not offered a consistent interpretation of what non-establishment or religious freedom means, as a general matter it can be said that the First Amendment requires that government not give preference to one religion over another or, although this is more controversial, to religion over non-belief. But these rules raise questions that will be addressed in Legal Responses to Religious Practices in the United States: Namely, what practices constitute a...

From Lynch Mobs to the Killing State: Race and the Death Penalty in America

Since 1976, over forty percent of prisoners executed in American jails have been African American or Hispanic.

In a bold attempt to tackle the looming question of how and why the connection between race and the death penalty has been so strong throughout American history, Ogletree and Sarat headline an interdisciplinary cast of experts in reflecting on this disturbing issue.

Law and Lies is the first book to thematically address the role of lying in the American legal system. Undercover police agents are permitted to lie in the name of catching criminals, and government officials are permitted to lie in...
