We the People: The Fourteenth Amendment and the Supreme Court
ISBN: 9780195151251 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Several of the most divisive moral conflicts that have beset Americans in the period since World War II have been transmuted into constitutional conflicts and resolved as such. In his new book, eminent legal scholar Michael Perry evaluates the grave charge that the modern Supreme Court has engineered a "judicial usurpation of politics." In particular, Perry inquires which of several major Fourteenth Amendment conflicts--over race segregation, race-based affirmative action, sex-based discrimination, homosexuality, abortion, and physician-assisted suicide--have been resolved as they should have...

Transitional Justice
ISBN: 9780195151268 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 404 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. At the century's end, societies all over the world are throwing off the yoke of authoritarian rule and beginning to build democracies. At any such time of radical change, the question arises: should a society punish its ancien regime or let bygones be bygones? Transitional Justice takes this question to a new level with an interdisciplinary approach that challenges the very terms of the contemporary debate. Ruti Teitel explores the recurring dilemma of how regimes should respond to evil rule, arguing against the prevailing view favoring punishment, yet contending that the law nevertheless...

Beyond Citizenship: American Identity After Globalization
ISBN: 9780195152180 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. American identity has always been capacious as a concept but narrow in its application. Citizenship has mostly been about being here, either through birth or residence. The territorial premises for citizenship have worked to resolve the peculiar challenges of American identity. But globalization is detaching identity from location. What used to define American was rooted in American space. Now one can be anywhere and be an American, politically or culturally. Against that backdrop, it becomes difficult to draw the boundaries of human community in a meaningful way. Longstanding notions of...

Abortion and Social Responsibility: Depolarizing the Debate
ISBN: 9780195153088 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Shrage argues that Roe v Wade's regulatory scheme of a six-month time span for abortion on demand polarized the public and obscured alternatives with potentially broader support. She explores the origins of that scheme, then defends an alternate one--with a time span shorter than 6 months for non-therapeutic abortions--that could win broad support needed to make legal abortion services available to all women.

Trial and Error: The American Controversy Over Creation and Evolution
ISBN: 9780195154719 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Trial and Error traces the coverage or lack thereof, of evolution in textbooks used in American public schools from the mid-1800s to the present. While the teaching of Darwinian evolution was common and not controversial in the late 19th century and into the early 20th century, the debates between evolutionists and creationists, those who argue that the Biblical theory of origins deserves equal treatment, have flared throughout the twentieth century--first in the 1920s, most famously in the Scopes trial; again in the 1960s, when the regional legislation banning the teaching of...

ISBN: 9780195156874 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Fear, rage, courage, discrimination. These are facts of everyday life for many Americans with disabilities. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), has made working, traveling, and communicating easier for many individuals. But what recourse do individuals have when enforcement of the law is ambiguous or virtually nonexistent? And how will its changing definition affect individuals' lives-as well as their legal actions-in the future? What is life like in post-ADA America? Voices from the Edge seeks to challenge the mindset of those who would deny equal protection to the...

Law Without Justice: Why Criminal Law Doesn't Give People What They Deserve
ISBN: 9780195160154 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. If an innocent person is sent to prison or if a killer walks free, we are outraged. The legal system assures us, and we expect and demand, that it will seek to "do justice" in criminal cases. So why, for some cases, does the criminal law deliberately and routinely sacrifice justice? In this unflinching look at American criminal law, Paul Robinson and Michael Cahill demonstrate that cases with unjust outcomes are not always irregular or unpredictable. Rather, the criminal law sometimes chooses not to give defendants what they deserve: that is, unsatisfying results occur even when the system...

Juvenile Justice in the Making
ISBN: 9780195160451 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. "Tried as an adult." The phrase rings with increasing frequency through America's courtrooms. In Michigan, an 11-year-old is charged with first-degree homicide in the shooting death of a playmate. A mentally disabled boy in Florida faces armed robbery and extortion charges that could bring 30 years in prison for stealing $2 worth of food. Faith in childhood, and its corollary that separate courts are required for children because they are developmentally different from adults, appears to be vanishing. Almost forgotten in this climate--in which a New York Times' headline boldly announced that...

When Prisoners Come Home: Parole and Prisoner Reentry
ISBN: 9780195160864 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Every year, hundreds of thousands of jailed Americans leave prison and return to society. Largely uneducated, unskilled, often without family support, and with the stigma of a prison record hanging over them, many if not most will experience serious social and psychological problems after release. Fewer than one in three prisoners receive substance abuse or mental health treatment while incarcerated, and each year fewer and fewer participate in the dwindling number of vocational or educational pre-release programs, leaving many all but unemployable. Not surprisingly, the great majority is...

ISBN: 9780195161854 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Roman household (familia) was in many respects dramatically different from the modern family. From the early Roman Empire (30 B.C. to about A.D. 250) there survive many legal sources that describe Roman households, often in the most intimate detail. The subject matter of these ancient sources includes marriage and divorce, the property aspects of marriage, the pattern of authority within households, the transmission of property between generations, and the supervision of Roman orphans. This casebook presents 235 representative texts drawn largely from Roman legal sources,...

In the Interests of Justice: Reforming the Legal Profession
ISBN: 9780195165548 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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.

Punishment, Communication, and Community
ISBN: 9780195166668 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The question "What can justify criminal punishment ?" becomes especially insistent at times, like our own, of penal crisis, when serious doubts are raised not only about the justice or efficacy of particular modes of punishment, but about the very legitimacy of the whole penal system. Recent theorizing about punishment offers a variety of answers to that question-answers that try to make plausible sense of the idea that punishment is justified as being deserved for past crimes; answers that try to identify some beneficial consequences in terms of which punishment might be justified; as well...

Effective Knowledge Management for Law Firms
ISBN: 9780195169683 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. While there is significant interest in knowledge management as it applies to legal environments, there are very few books specifically focused on this topic. In Effective Knowledge Management For Law Firms, Matthew Parsons expertly fills this gap by drawing on his work with a leading commercial law firm, Mallesons Stephen Jaques. He examines how law firms can implement a knowledge strategy to support their business strategy, rather than getting beguiled by fads and technology. Parsons first outlines the terrain, including what knowledge management means, the business and economics of...
