Unpublished Opinions of the Rehnquist Court
ISBN: 9780195093322 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the last twenty years, the veil of secrecy surrounding the workings of the United States Supreme Court has been lifted. Justice Thurgood Marshall's controversial decision to make his papers available to the public ushered in a new era of openness about the operation of the Court--but not without criticism from Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist. The Unpublished Opinions of the Rehnquist Court provides a behind-the- scenes look at the Supreme Court, showing how changes between the drafts and the Justices' final opinions have created substantial differences in the outcome of the...

The Intelligible Constitution: The Supreme Court's Obligation to Maintain the Constitution as Something We the People Can Understand
ISBN: 9780195093759 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In Webster v. Reproductive Health Services, a critical abortion rights case, a bitterly divided Supreme Court produced no less than six different opinions. Writing for the plurality, Chief Justice Rehnquist attacked the trimester framework established in Roe v. Wade because it was "not found in the text of the Constitution or in any place else one would expect to find a constitutional principle." This approach, writes legal authority Joseph Goldstein, confuses constitutional principles (in this case, the right to privacy) with the means to protect them (here, the trimester system). As a...

Responsive Regulation: Transcending the Deregulation Debate
ISBN: 9780195093766 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book transcends current debate on government regulation by lucidly outlining how regulations can be a fruitful combination of persuasion and sanctions. The regulation of business by the United States government is often ineffective despite being more adversarial in tone than in other nations. The authors draw on both empirical studies of regulation from around the world and modern game theory to illustrate innovative solutions to this problem. Their ideas include an argument for the empowerment of private and public interest groups in the regulatory process and a provocative discussion...

A History of the Supreme Court
ISBN: 9780195093872 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. When the first Supreme Court convened in 1790, it was so ill-esteemed that its justices frequently resigned in favor of other pursuits. John Rutledge stepped down as Associate Justice to become a state judge in South Carolina; John Jay resigned as Chief Justice to run for Governor of New York; and Alexander Hamilton declined to replace Jay, pursuing a private law practice instead. As Bernard Schwartz shows in this landmark history, the Supreme Court has indeed travelled a long and interesting journey to its current preeminent place in American life.

Real Rights
ISBN: 9780195095005 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Real Rights offers a new theory of the grounds of legal and moral rights, thereby providing a platform from which to determine whether alleged rights are "real" or not. In particular, Wellman conceives of a legal or moral right as a complex of liberties, claims, powers, and immunities, and distinguishes the kinds of laws and moral reasons that can ground each of these. The book argues that only agents can be right-holders, that children and the mentally-limited can have only limited rights, while fetuses, the dead, and groups can have none. It also discusses the duties implied by any...

Law and Objectivity
ISBN: 9780195098334 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In modern times the idea of the objectivity of law has been undermined by skepticism about legal institutions, disbelief in ideals of unbiased evaluation, and a conviction that language is indeterminate. Greenawalt here considers the validity of such skepticism, examining such questions as: whether the law as it exists provides determinate answers to legal problems; whether the law should treat people in an "objective way," according to abstract rules, general categories, and external consequences; and how far the law is anchored in something external to itself, such as social morality,...

War & Press Freedom: The Problem of Prerogative Power
ISBN: 9780195099454 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. War and Press Freedom: The Problem of Prerogative Power is a groundbreaking and provocative study of one of the most perplexing civil liberties issues in American history: What authority does or should the government have to control press coverage and commentary in wartime? First Amendment scholar Jeffery A. Smith shows convincingly that no such extraordinary power exists under the Constitution, and that officials have had to rely on claiming the existence of an autocratic "higher law" of survival. Smith carefully surveys the development of statutory restrictions and military...

Remnants of Belief: Contemporary Constitutional Issues
ISBN: 9780195099805 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Popular debate about constitutional issues such as abortion, affirmative action, the death penalty, and free speech, has become increasingly polarized, with a persistent and growing tendency to treat constitutional questions such as these as if they were easy and the answers obvious. In Remnants of Belief: Contemporary Constitutional Issues, Seidman and Tushnet investigate this phenomenon, tracing its beginning to the transformation of American government that accompanied the New Deal revolution over a half century ago. In their investigation, the authors examine the debates on...

Transitional Justice
ISBN: 9780195100648 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 304 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...

The Habits of Legality: Criminal Justice and the Rule of the Law
ISBN: 9780195100884 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Habits of Legality provides a broad survey of American criminal justice in a time of troubles. It asks the central questions: In what degree are the justice system's functions guided by ascertainable legal norms? How accountable are public officials who wield the rigorous sanctions of the penal law? Where the habits of legality are weak, how can they be invigorated? A number of factors combine to constrict the rule of law in the criminal process. A crime epidemic of alarming proportions places enormous burdens on the system and gives rise to a "war on crime" that often...

Coercion to Compromise: Plea Bargaining, the Courts, and the Making of Political Authority
ISBN: 9780195101751 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Plea bargaining is one of the most striking features of American courts. The vast majority of criminal convictions today are produced through bargained pleas. Where does the practice come from? Whose interests does it serve? Often plea bargaining is imagined as a corruption of the court during the post-World War II years, paradoxically rewarding those who appear guilty rather than those claiming innocence. Yet, as Mary Vogel argues in this pathbreaking history, plea bargaining's roots are deeper and more distinctly American than is commonly supposed. During the Age of Jackson, amidst...

Free Markets and Social Justice
ISBN: 9780195102734 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The newest work from one of the most preeminent voices writing in the legal/political arena today, this important book presents a new conception of the relationship between free markets and social justice. The work begins with foundations--the appropriate role of existing "preferences," the importance of social norms, the question whether human goods are commensurable, and issues of distributional equity. Continuing with rights, the work shows that markets have only a partial but instrumental role in the protection of rights. The book concludes with a discussion on regulation, developing...

The Rehnquist Court and the Constitution
ISBN: 9780195103465 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In The Rehnquist Court and the Constitution, Tinsley Yarbrough provides a comprehensive look at today's Supreme Court Justices and their record--a study all the more valuable for the Court's mixed decisions and hard-to-categorize course.
An accomplished biographer, Yarbrough offers incisive portraits of the nine who now sit on the high bench, and tellingly reviews their nomination hearings. He also explores the workings of the Court, ranging from the selection and role of the clerks to the work load (including the end-of-term "June crunch") and assignment of opinions. But the heart of... In The Rehnquist Court and the Constitution, Tinsley Yarbrough provides a comprehensive look at today's Supreme Court Justices and their record--a stu...

Over the past two decades, the field of law and economics has matured to the point where scholars have employed the latest economic methods in an effort to understand the nature of legal rules and to guide legal reform.

It will therefore serve as a convenient reference guide to this exciting field.

Readings in Juvenile Justice Administration analyzes the judicial, legal, and correctional agencies that respond to delinquent offenders.

The very term seems an oxymoron, yet this is exactly what the Supreme Court under Chief Justice Earl Warren achieved. In Bernard Schwartzs latest work, based on a conference at the University of Tulsa College of Law, we get the first retrospective on the Warren Court--a detailed analysis of the Courts accomplishments, including original pieces by well-known judges, professors, lawyers, popular writers such as Anthony Lewis, David Halberstam, David J.

Imbalance of Powers: Constitutional Interpretation and the Making of American Foreign Policy
ISBN: 9780195104776 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Vietnam War and the Watergate aftermath made it apparent that the increase in executive power which followed World War II needed to be redressed. Congress tried to balance the separation of powers by passing a number of laws that were designed to assert legislative authority in foreign policy. However, the efforts by Congress to achieve its stated objectives consistently failed. Using the struggle over power and control of American foreign policy, Silverstein details the interaction of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, and traces the altering of the constitutional...

Judicial Power and American Character: Censoring Ourselves in an Anxious Age
ISBN: 9780195106626 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This original work is an unusual effort to relate modern constitutional politics to the moral character of American culture. Writing in non-technical language, Nagel demonstrates how judicial decisions embody wider social tendencies toward moral evasiveness, privatization, and opportunism. He shows that constitutional interpretation is often used to stifle political disagreement and, ultimately, to censor our own beliefs and traditions. The discussion ranges over such controversial topics as political correctness on the campus and in the case law, resistance to constitutional rights like...

Beyond All Reason: The Radical Assault on Truth in American Law
ISBN: 9780195107173 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Would you want to be operated on by a surgeon trained at a medical school that did not evaluate its students? Would you want to fly in a plane designed by people convinced that the laws of physics are socially constructed? Would you want to be tried by a legal system indifferent to the distinction between fact and fiction? These questions may seem absurd, but these are theories being seriously advanced by radical multiculturalists that force us to ask them. These scholars assert that such concepts as truth and merit are inextricably racist and sexist, that reason and objectivity are merely...
