ISBN: 9780195056846 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In 1896 the U.S. Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson upheld "equal but separate accommodations for the white and colored races" on all passenger railways within the state of Louisiana.

When the deplorable conditions in Alabama's prisons were revealed at trial in 1975, Judge Frank Johnson declared the prison system as a whole to constitute cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the eighth amendment.

Conflicts of Law and Morality
ISBN: 9780195058246 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Powerful emotion and pursuit of self-interest have many times led people to break the law with the belief that they are doing so with sound moral reasons. This study, a comprehensive philosophical and legal analysis of the gray area in which the foundations of law and morality clash, views these oblique circumstances from two perspectives: that of the person who faces a possible conflict between the claims of morality and law and must choose whether or not to obey the penal code; and that of the people who make and uphold laws and must decide whether to treat someone with a moral claim to...

The Oxford Dictionary of American Legal Quotations
ISBN: 9780195058598 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 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...

This is the third volume of Joel Feinberg's highly regarded The Moral Limits of the Criminal Law, a four-volume series in which Feinberg skillfully addresses a complex question: What kinds of conduct may the state make criminal without infringing on the moral autonomy of individual citizens?

Foundations of American Constitutionalism
ISBN: 9780195059397 / Angielski / Twarda / 1989 / 338 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In writing the constitution, the Founders combined a Lockean theory of politically legitimate power with the political science they had learned from Machiavelli, Harrington, Hume, and Montesquieu to articulate a new conception of constitutional argument. Examining the Founders' humanist analytical methods and working assumptions, this book combines history, political philosophy, and interpretive practice as it demonstrates an alternative exegesis of the Constitution. It clarifies a wide range of interpretive issues of federalism, enumerated rights (religious liberty and free speech),...

Toleration and the Constitution
ISBN: 9780195059472 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Why have the issues of religious liberty, free speech and constitutional privacy come to figure so prominently in our society? What are the origins of the basic principles of our constitutional law? This work develops a general theory of constitutional interpretation based on an original synthesis of political theory, history, law, and a larger approach to the interpretation of culture. Presenting both historical and theoretical arguments in support of a theory that affirms the moral sovereignty of the people, Richards maintains that toleration, or respect for conscience and individual...

The Justice Broker: Lawyers and Ordinary Litigation
ISBN: 9780195061420 / Angielski / Twarda / 1990 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In law, as elsewhere, the ordinary is overshadowed in the popular and academic literature by the dramatic and sensational. While the role and behavior of lawyers in the operation of our criminal justice system has been closely scrutinized, comparatively little research has been devoted to the manner in which lawyers litigate the day-to-day civil (non-criminal) cases that comprise the vast bulk of the workload in state and federal courts. Originally commissioned by the U.S. Department of Justice, this is the first comprehensive national study of the U.S. civil justice system. Kritzer analyzes...

The Death of the Irreparable Injury Rule
ISBN: 9780195063561 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 382 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The irreparable injury rule says that courts will not grant an equitable remedy to prevent harm if it would be adequate to let the harm happen and grant the legal remedy of money damages. After surveying more than 1400 cases, Laycock concludes that this ancient rule is dead--that it almost never affects the results of cases. When a court denies equitable relief, its real reasons are derived from the interests of defendants or the legal system, and not from the adequacy of the plaintiff's legal remedy. Laycock seeks to complete the assimilation of equity, showing that the law-equity...

Morality, Politics, and Law
ISBN: 9780195064568 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Addressing the proper relation of moral and religious belief to politics and law, especially constitutional law, Perry here discusses whether a common moral foundation exists that is capable of providing, in a diverse social system like ours, consistent guidelines for handling divisive political, policy, religious and constitutional disputes. His study represents a distinctive position in the vast and growing literature on the moral foundations of liberal political and legal life.

This book examines the legislative history and the political economy of the Sherman Antitrust Act--the main federal statute that regulates economic activity in the United States. Tracing the evolution of the antitrust movement in the United States since 1890, this collection of essays examines the role of government in regulating markets, and the balance it and its critics seek between the goal of limited government and the protection of free, open and competitive markets, With markets today being more international in nature and the world economy being globalized, Americans need to rethink...

Almost a Revolution: Mental Health Law & the Limits of Change
ISBN: 9780195068801 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Doubts about the reality of mental illness and the benefits of psychiatric treatment helped foment a revolution in the law's attitude toward mental disorders over the last 25 years. Legal reformers pushed for laws to make it more difficult to hospitalize and treat people with mental illness, and easier to punish them when they committed criminal acts. Advocates of reform promised vast changes in how our society deals with the mentally ill; opponents warily predicted chaos and mass suffering. Now, with the tide of reform ebbing, Paul Appelbaum examines what these changes have wrought. The...

The Electronic Media and the Transformation of Law
ISBN: 9780195070002 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Highly publicized legal cases, such as those involving libel verdicts, obscenity prosecutions, the First Amendment, and other areas of media law have focused attention on only one part of the media's impact on law.

The Birth of Judicial Politics in France: The Constitutional Council in Comparative Perspective
ISBN: 9780195070347 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The French Constitutional Council, a quasi-judicial body created at the dawn of the Fifth Republic, functioned in relative obscurity for almost two decades until its emergence in the 1980s as a pivotal actor in the French policymaking process. Alec Stone focuses on how this once docile institution, through its practice of constitutional review, has become a meaningfully autonomous actor in the French political system. After examining the formal prohibition against judicial review in France, Stone illustrates how politicians and the Council have collaborated over the course of the last decade,...

The Multinational Challenge to Corporation Law
ISBN: 9780195070613 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Modern multinational corporate groups of incredible complexity conducting world enterprises through numerous subsidiaries have rendered traditional corporation law archaic. The traditional concept of each corporation as a separate legal unit clashes with modern economic realities and frustrates effective regulation when applied to affiliated corporations collectively conducting a common enterprise. In response, there is emerging a law of corporate groups directed at the enterprise rather than its corporate components.
