How American race law provided a blueprint for Nazi Germany Nazism triumphed in Germany during the high era of Jim Crow laws in the United States.

The Legacy of Roman Law in the German Romantic Era: Historical Vision and Legal Change
ISBN: 9780691633923 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Well after the process of codification had begun elsewhere in nineteenth-century Europe, ancient Roman law remained in use in Germany, expounded by brilliant scholars and applied in both urban and rural courts. The survival of this flourishing Roman legal culture into the industrial era is a familiar fact, but until now little effort has been made to explain it outside the province of specialized legal history. James Whitman seeks to remedy this neglect by exploring the broad political and cultural significance of German Roman law, emphasizing the hope on the part of German Roman lawyers...

Harsh Justice: Criminal Punishment and the Widening Divide Between America and Europe
ISBN: 9780195182606 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Criminal punishment in America is harsh and degrading--more so than anywhere else in the liberal west. Executions and long prison terms are commonplace in America. Countries like France and Germany, by contrast, are systematically mild. European offenders are rarely sent to prison, and when they are, they serve far shorter terms than their American counterparts. Why is America so comparatively harsh? In this novel work of comparative legal history, James Whitman argues that the answer lies in America's triumphant embrace of a non-hierarchical social system and distrust of state power which...

Verdict of Battle: The Law of Victory and the Making of Modern War
ISBN: 9780674416871 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Today, war is considered a last resort for resolving disagreements. But a day of staged slaughter on the battlefield was once seen as a legitimate means of settling political disputes. James Whitman argues that pitched battle was essentially a trial with a lawful verdict. And when this contained form of battle ceased to exist, the law of victory gave way to the rule of unbridled force. "The Verdict of Battle" explains why the ritualized violence of the past was more effective than modern warfare in bringing carnage to an end, and why humanitarian laws that cling to a notion of war as evil...

The Origins of Reasonable Doubt: Theological Roots of the Criminal Trial
ISBN: 9780300219906 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. To be convicted of a crime in the United States, a person must be proven guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt." But what is reasonable doubt? Even sophisticated legal experts find this fundamental doctrine difficult to explain. In this accessible book, James Q. Whitman digs deep into the history of the law and discovers that we have lost sight of the original purpose of "reasonable doubt." It was not originally a legal rule at all, he shows, but a theological one.
The rule as we understand it today is intended to protect the accused. But Whitman traces its history back through... To be convicted of a crime in the United States, a person must be proven guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt." But what is reasonable doubt? Even sop... |
