The Lost Lawyer: Failing Ideals of the Legal Profession
ISBN: 9780674539273 / Angielski / Miękka / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Anthony Kronman describes a spiritual crisis affecting the American legal profession, and attributes it to the collapse of what he calls the ideal of the lawyer-statesman: a set of values that prizes good judgment above technical competence and encourages a public-spirited devotion to the law. For nearly two centuries, Kronman argues, the aspirations of American lawyers were shaped by their allegiance to a distinctive ideal of professional excellence. In the last generation, however, this ideal has failed, undermining the identity of lawyers as a group and making it unclear to those...

Lawyers and Justice: An Ethical Study
ISBN: 9780691022901 / Angielski / Miękka / 472 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The law, Holmes said, is no brooding omnipresence in the sky. "If that is true," writes David Luban, "it is because we encounter the legal system in the form of flesh-and-blood human beings: the police if we are unlucky, but for the (marginally) luckier majority, the lawyers." For practical purposes, the lawyers are the law. In this comprehensive study of legal ethics, Luban examines the conflict between common morality and the lawyer's "role morality" under the adversary system and how this conflict becomes a social and political problem for a community. Using real examples and... The law, Holmes said, is no brooding omnipresence in the sky. "If that is true," writes David Luban, "it is because we encounter the legal system i... |

ISBN: 9780822327363 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Rules perform a moral function by restating moral principles in concrete terms, so as to reduce the uncertainty, error, and controversy that result when individuals follow their own unconstrained moral judgment. Although reason dictates that we must follow rules to avoid destructive error and controversy, rules--and hence laws--are imperfect, and reason also dictates that we ought not follow them when we believe they produce the wrong result in a particular case. In "The Rule of Rules" Larry Alexander and Emily Sherwin examine this dilemma.

Nietzsches Genialität Der Gerechtigkeit
ISBN: 9783899494730 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Das Wort der "Genialitaauml;t der Gerechtigkeit" stammt von Nietzsche selbst, der bekannte, dass er diese Form der Genialitat mindestens ebenso hoch schatze wie alle uuuml;brigen. Dessen ungeachtet hat die Rechtsphilosophie Nietzsche in erstaunlicher Weise vernachlassigt, obwohl er selbst sie als besondere Herausforderung begriff. In den Gesamtdarstellungen wird er zumeist nur mit den Schlagworten des Ubermenschen und des Willens zur Macht bedacht. Mit nichts ist er im rechtsphilosophischen Schrifttum so wenig in Verbindung gebracht worden wie mit dem Begriff der Gerechtigkeit, der ihm jedoch...
