ISBN: 9780195340341 / Angielski / Twarda / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Many legal scholars believe that judges should not be "activists."

Behavior of Federal Judges: A Theoretical and Empirical Study of Rational Choice
ISBN: 9780674049895 / Angielski / Twarda / 422 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Judges play a central role in the American legal system, but their behavior as decision-makers is not well understood, even among themselves. The system permits judges to be quite secretive (and most of them are), so indirect methods are required to make sense of their behavior. Here, a political scientist, an economist, and a judge work together to construct a unified theory of judicial decision-making. Using statistical methods to test hypotheses, they dispel the mystery of how judicial decisions in district courts, circuit courts, and the Supreme Court are made. The authors derive...

In Reflections on Judging, Richard Posner distills the experience of his thirty-one years as a judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. Surveying how the judiciary has changed since his 1981 appointment, he engages the issues at stake today, suggesting how lawyers should argue cases and judges decide them, how trials can be improved, and, most urgently, how to cope with the dizzying pace of technological advance that makes litigation ever more challenging to judges and lawyers. For Posner, legal formalism presents one of the main obstacles to...

Why were there so few women judges only two or three decades ago, and why are there so many now in most countries of the Western world? How do women judges experience their work in a previously male-dominated environment? What are their professional careers? How do they organise and live their lives?

Court Reform on Trial: Why Simple Solutions Fail
ISBN: 9781610272025 / Angielski / Miękka / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. COURT REFORM ON TRIAL is a recognized study of innovation in the process of criminal justice, and why it so often fails-despite the best intentions of judges, administrators, and reformers. The arc of innovation to disappointment is analyzed through such programs as bail reform, pretrial diversion, speedy trials, and determinate sentencing. A much-maligned system of plea bargaining shifts power to prosecutors away from judges, and formal trials recede in importance-but is that really the problem? Perhaps failure lies in unrealistic expectations, splintered systems and decisionmaking, waning...

This volume answers these fundamental questions by bringing together today's leading scholars of judicial politics.

Amendments to the Federal Rules of Evidence
ISBN: 9781478153825 / Angielski / Miękka / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Federal Rules of Evidence (FRE) is a code of evidence law governing the admission of facts by which parties in the United States federal court system may prove their cases, both civil and criminal. The Rules were enacted in 1975, with subsequent amendments. The Rules were the product of protracted academic, legislative, and judicial examination before being formally promulgated in 1975. U.S. states are free to adopt or maintain evidence rules different from the Federal Rules, but a substantial majority have adopted codes in whole or part based on the FRE. Because they govern the initial...
