Law in the Liberal Arts
ISBN: 9780801442698 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Should law be left to the lawyers? 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. An ideal approach to legal education, in Austin Sarat's view, would open up law and legal knowledge by making them the proper objects of inquiry in the liberal arts. 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: 9781107023680 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 217 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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...

History, Memory, and the Law
ISBN: 9780472088997 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The essays in this book examine law as an active participant in the process through which history is written and memory is constructed. Instead of seeing law as a "victim" of history, the writers treat law as an author of history, not just in the instrumental sense in which law can be said to make a difference in society, but in the ways that law constructs and uses history.
Law looks to the past as it speaks to present needs. In the production of judicial opinions--supposedly definitive statements of what the law is--judges reconstruct law's past, tracing out lines of legal precedent that...
