Cheating: Ethics in Everyday Life
ISBN: 9780190672423 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Cheating is deeply embedded in everyday life. The costs of the most common forms of cheating total close to a trillion dollars annually. Part of the problem is that many individuals fail to see such behavior as a serious problem. "Everyone does it" is a common rationalization, and one that comes uncomfortably close to the truth. That perception is also self-perpetuating. The more that individuals believe that cheating is widespread, the easier it becomes to justify. Yet what is most notable about analysis of the problem is how little there is of it. Whether or not Americans are cheating more,...

What Women Want: An Agenda for the Women's Movement
ISBN: 9780190623364 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What Women Want is a trenchant examination of the struggle for women's equality, and a prescription for what to focus on next in order to ensure maximum success. Feminism today is a movement that lacks leadership, unity, and definition, and it has gotten stuck in a boom and bust cycle when it comes to public opinion and action. Despite significant progress over the last fifty years, equality is still a distant goal in the political, social, and economic spheres. Only by identifying the barriers (both internal and external) that remain, Deborah Rhode argues, can we begin to identify...

Pro Bono in Principle and in Practice: Public Service and the Professions
ISBN: 9780804751070 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book explores the aspirational principles and actual practices concerning lawyers' pro bono service. It begins from the premise that both the profession and the public have much to gain from reducing the gap between ideals and institutions. To that end, the book provides the first broad-scale study of the factors that influence American lawyers' pro bono work, including an original empirical survey of over 3,000 lawyers. Attention is focused on the workplace factors and law school experiences that encourage charitable public interest activities. The book also includes the first...

Women and Leadership
ISBN: 9780190614713 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. For most of recorded history, men have held nearly all of the most powerful leadership positions. Today, although women occupy an increasing percentage of leadership positions, in America they hold less than a fifth of positions in both the public and private sectors. The United States ranks 78th in the world for women's representation in political office. In politics, although women constitute a majority of the electorate, they account for only 18 percent of Congress, 10 percent of governors, and 12 percent of mayors of the nation's 100 largest cities. In academia, women account for a...

Adultery: Infidelity and the Law
ISBN: 9780674659551 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. At a time when legal and social prohibitions on sexual relationships are declining, Americans are still nearly unanimous in their condemnation of adultery. Over 90 percent disapprove of cheating on a spouse. In her comprehensive account of the legal and social consequences of infidelity, Deborah Rhode explores why. She exposes the harms that criminalizing adultery inflicts, and she makes a compelling case for repealing adultery laws and prohibitions on polygamy. In the twenty-two states where adultery is technically illegal although widely practiced, it can lead to civil lawsuits,...

The Difference "Difference" Makes: Women and Leadership
ISBN: 9780804746359 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Why are women so dramatically underrepresented in formal leadership positions--and what can be done to improve the situation? This unique collection takes up these questions in the crucial practical concepts of law, politics, and business--the arenas in which women's leadership has the most public influence. Bridging the worlds of theory and practice, the essays in this collection bring new insights to long-standing questions about the difference gender difference makes, both in access to leadership and in its exercise. The contributors to this collection represent some of the nation's most...

Theoretical Perspectives on Sexual Difference
ISBN: 9780300052251 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. No issue has been more central to the American women's movement than sexual difference. This book offers a unique study of the nature, origins, and consequences of sexual difference. Leading scholars in history, philosophy, law, literary theory, biology, sociology, psychology, political science, and anthropology explore the difference difference makes. Several traditions of feminist response to difference are reflected in this volume. One approach has been to challenge the long-established tendency to mischaracterize culturally influenced gender differences as biological or...

Character: What It Means and Why It Matters
ISBN: 9780190919870 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. As Deborah L. Rhode explains in this wide-ranging work, the American public has long insisted on the central importance of character, but has failed to adequately nurture and sustain it in families, schools, law, and politics. All too often, our understandings of character are out of step with psychological research and fundamental values.

Lawyers as Leaders
ISBN: 9780199896226 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. No occupation in America supplies a greater proportion of leaders than the legal profession, yet it has done little to prepare them for this role. Lawyers sit at the helm of a vast array of powerful law firms, businesses, governmental, and nonprofit organizations. Two of the last three presidents have been lawyers. And yet almost no occupation rouses greater public distrust. This paradox raises two important questions: Why do we look to lawyers to lead, and why do so many of them prove to be so ill-prepared for that role? In Lawyers as Leaders, eminent law professor Deborah Rhode not only...

Speaking of Sex: The Denial of Gender Inequality
ISBN: 9780674831780 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Speaking of Sex explores a topic that too often drops out of our discussions when we speak about sex: the persistent problem of sex-based inequality and the cultural forces that sustain it. On critical issues affecting women, most Americans deny either that gender inequality is a serious problem or that it is one that they have a personal or political responsibility to address. In tracing this "no problem" problem, Speaking of Sex examines the most fundamental causes of women's disadvantages and the inadequacy of current public policy to combat them. Although in the...

In the Interests of Justice: Reforming the Legal Profession
ISBN: 9780195165548 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Two thousand years ago, Seneca described advocates not as seekers of truth but as accessories to injustice, "smothered by their prosperity." This unflattering assessment has only worsened over time. The vast majority of Americans now perceive lawyers as arrogant, unaffordable hired guns whose ethical practices rank just slightly above those of used car salesmen.
In this penetrating new book, Deborah L. Rhode goes beyond the commonplace attacks on lawyers to provide the first systematic study of the structural problems confronting the legal profession. A past president of the Association... Two thousand years ago, Seneca described advocates not as seekers of truth but as accessories to injustice, "smothered by their prosperity." This unfl...

The Trouble with Lawyers
ISBN: 9780190217228 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. By any measure, the law as a profession is in serious trouble. Americans' trust in lawyers is at a low, and many members of the profession wish they had chosen a different path. Law schools, with their endlessly rising tuitions, are churning out too many graduates for the jobs available. Yet despite the glut of lawyers, the United States ranks 67th (tied with Uganda) of 97 countries in access to justice and affordability of legal services. The upper echelons of the legal establishment remain heavily white and male. Most problematic of all, the professional organizations that could help remedy...

The Beauty Bias: The Injustice of Appearance in Life and Law
ISBN: 9780199794447 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "It hurts to be beautiful" has been a cliche for centuries. What has been far less appreciated is how much it hurts not to be beautiful. The Beauty Bias explores our cultural preoccupation with attractiveness, the costs it imposes, and the responses it demands. Beauty may be only skin deep, but the damages associated with its absence go much deeper. Unattractive individuals are less likely to be hired and promoted, and are assumed less likely to have desirable traits, such as goodness, kindness, and honesty. Three quarters of women consider appearance important to their self image and...

Access to Justice
ISBN: 9780195306484 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "Equal Justice Under Law" is one of America's most proudly proclaimed and widely violated legal principles. But it comes nowhere close to describing the legal system in practice. Millions of Americans lack any access to justice, let alone equal access. Worse, the increasing centrality of law in American life and its growing complexity has made access to legal assistance critical for all citizens. Yet according to most estimates about four-fifths of the legal needs of the poor, and two- to three-fifths of the needs of middle-income individuals remain unmet. This book reveals the inequities of...
