The Oxford Dictionary of American Legal Quotations
ISBN: 9780195058598 / Angielski / Twarda / 600 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. "The words which are criticized as dirty in James Joyce's Ulysses] are old Saxon words known to almost all men, and, I venture, to many women, and are such words as would be naturally and habitually used, I believe, by the types of folk whose life, physical and mental, Joyce is seeking to describe. In respect of the recurrent emergence of the theme of sex in the minds of his characters, it must always be remembered that his locale was Celtic and his season spring."--John M. Woolsey, United States v. One Book Called "Ulysses"
The practice of law rests heavily on the incisive, pithy, and... "The words which are criticized as dirty in James Joyce's Ulysses] are old Saxon words known to almost all men, and, I venture, to many women, and ar...

Law, Language, and Legal Determinacy
ISBN: 9780198260509 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book discusses one of the central problems in the philosophy of law--the question of legal determinacy. Is the law a seamless web or are there gaps? Bix argues that the major re-thinking of the common and "common sense" views about law that have been proposed by various recent legal theories is unnecessary. He offers a reconsideration of the role of language in the law, and the way ideas about language have been used and misused in recent legal theory. He explores in depth the relationship to legal theory of Hart's influential idea of "open texture," Dworkin's interpretative approach to...

Legal Modernism
ISBN: 9780472084395 / Angielski / Miękka / 406 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Modernism in legal theory is no different from modernism in the arts: both respond to a cultural crisis, a sense that institutions and traditions have lost their validity. Some doubt the importance of the rule of law, others question the objectivity of legal reasoning. We have lost confidence in the justice of our legal institutions, and even in our very capacity to identify justice.
Legal philosopher David Luban argues that we cannot escape the modernist predicament. Accusing contemporary legal theorists of evading rather than confronting the challenge of modernity, he offers important...

The purpose of this volume is to clarify the subject of legal rights by drawing on both historical and philosophical legal scholarship to bridge the gap between these two genres--a gap that has divorced abstract and normative treatments of rights from an understanding of their particular social and cultural contexts.

Identities, Politics, and Rights
ISBN: 9780472084739 / Angielski / Miękka / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The subject of rights occupies a central place in liberal political thought. This tradition posits that rights are entitlements of individuals by virtue of their personhood and that rights stand apart from politics, that rights in fact hold at bay intrusions of state policy. The essays in Identities, Politics, and Rights question these assumptions and examine how rights constitute us as subjects and are, at the same time, implicated in political struggles. In contrast to the liberal notion of rights' universality, these essays emphasize the context-specific nature of rights as well as...

The Early History of the Law of Bills and Notes : A Study of the Origins of Anglo-American Commercial Law
ISBN: 9780521442121 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This study traces the history of the law of bills and notes in England from medieval times to the period in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries when bills played a central role in the domestic and international financial system. It challenges the traditional theory that English commercial law developed by incorporation of the concept of negotiability and other rules from an ancient body of customary law known as the law merchant. Rogers shows that the law of bills was developed within the common law system itself, in response to changing economic and business practices. This...
