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.

Yet the death penalty remains troubling and controversial for many people. The Killing State: Capital...

Law Without Nations
ISBN: 9780804771696 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The possibility of law in the absence of a nation would seem to strip law from its source of meaning and value. At the same time, law divorced from nations would clear the ground for a cosmopolitan vision in which the prejudices or idiosyncrasies of distinctive national traditions would give way to more universalist groundings for law. These alternately dystopian and utopian viewpoints inspire this original collection of essays on law without nations. This book examines the ways in which the growing internationalization of law affects domestic national law, the relationship between...
