To Form a More Perfect Union: A New Economic Interpretation of the United States Constitution
ISBN: 9780195139709 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Many important questions regarding the creation and adoption of the United States Constitution remain unresolved. Did slaveholdings or financial holdings significantly influence our Founding Fathers' stance on particular clauses or rules contained in the Constitution? Was there a division of support for the Constitution related to religious beliefs or ethnicity? Were founders from less commercial areas more likely to oppose the Constitution? To Form a More Perfect Union successfully answers these questions and offers an economic explanation for the behavior of our Founding Fathers...

Hate Crimes: Criminal Law & Identity Politics
ISBN: 9780195140545 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the early 1980s, a new category of crime appeared in the criminal law lexicon. In response to concerted advocacy-group lobbying, Congress and many state legislatures passed a wave of "hate crime" laws requiring the collection of statistics on, and enhancing the punishment for, crimes motivated by certain prejudices. This book places the evolution of the hate crime concept in socio-legal perspective. James B. Jacobs and Kimberly Potter adopt a skeptical if not critical stance, maintaining that legal definitions of hate crime are riddled with ambiguity and subjectivity. No matter how hate...

In the past decade, alarming reports of youth violence have appeared with increasing frequency in the news media.

Holding Health Care Accountable: Law and the New Medical Marketplace
ISBN: 9780195141320 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Health care in the US and elsewhere has been rocked by economic upheaval. Cost-cuts, care-cuts, and confusion abound. Traditional tort and contract law have not kept pace. Physicians are still expected to deliver the same standard of care -- including costly resources - to everyone, regardless whether it is paid for. Health plans can now face litigation for virtually any unfortunate outcome, even those stemming from society's mandate to keep costs down while improving population health. This book cuts through the chaos and offers a clear, persuasive resolution. Part I explains why new...

Access to Justice
ISBN: 9780195143478 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. "Equal Justice Under Law" is one of America's most proudly proclaimed and widely violated legal principles. But it comes nowhere close to describing the legal system in practice. Millions of Americans lack any access to justice, let alone equal access. Worse, the increasing centrality of law in American life and its growing complexity has made access to legal assistance critical for all citizens. Yet according to most estimates about four-fifths of the legal needs of the poor, and two- to three-fifths of the needs of middle-income individuals remain unmet. This book reveals the inequities of...

Legislating Morality: Pluralism and Religious Identity in Lawmaking
ISBN: 9780195143713 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The debate over religious lawmaking pits respect for religious pluralism against moral identity-with liberal theorists contending that religious lawmaking is generally suspect in a morally and religiously diverse polity like the United States, and communitarian ones arguing that lawmakers cannot, and should not, be expected to suppress their religious commitments in their public policy making. Looking carefully at both sides of this ongoing debate, Lucinda Peach explores the limitations as well as the value of these conflicting perspectives, and proposes a solution for their reconciliation....

ISBN: 9780195143775 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This illuminating work on one of today's most provocative issues provides all the necessary information for careful, critical thinking about the concept of sexual harassment. Consisting mainly of two parts, it first traces the construction of the concept of sexual harassment from the original public uses of the term to its definitions in the law, in legal cases, and in empirical research. It then analyzes philosophical definitions of sexual harassment and a number of issues that have arisen in the law, including the reasonable woman standard and whether same-sex harassment should be...

Anne Orthwood's Bastard: Sex and Law in Early Virginia
ISBN: 9780195144796 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In 1663, an indentured servant, Anne Orthwood, was impregnated with twins in a tavern in Northampton County, Virginia. Orthwood died soon after giving birth; one of the twins, Jasper, survived. Orthwood's illegitimate pregnancy sparked four related cases that came before the Northampton magistrates -- who coincidentally held court in the same tavern -- between 1664 and 1686. These interrelated cases and the decisions rendered in them are notable for the ways in which the Virginia colonists modified English common law traditions and began to create their own, as well as what they reveal about...

How do lawyers think about and make the important decisions that constitute the day-to-day practice of law?

The Dred Scott Case: Its Significance in American Law and Politics
ISBN: 9780195145885 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 768 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1979, The Dred Scott Case is a masterful examination of the most famous example of judicial failure--the case referred to as "the most frequently overturned decision in history." On March 6, 1857, Chief Justice Roger B. Taney delivered the Supreme Court's decision against Dred Scott, a slave who maintained he had been emancipated as a result of having lived with his master in the free state of Illinois and in federal territory where slavery was forbidden by the Missouri Compromise. The decision did much more than resolve the fate of an elderly black...

The Killing State: Capital Punishment in Law, Politics, and Culture
ISBN: 9780195146028 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Over 7,000 people have been legally executed in the United States this century, and over 3,000 men and women now sit on death rows across the country awaiting the same fate. Since the Supreme Court temporarily halted capital punishment in 1972, the death penalty has returned with a vengeance. Today there appears to be a widespread public consensus in favor of capital punishment and considerable political momentum to ensure that those sentenced to death are actually executed. Yet the death penalty remains troubling and controversial for many people. The Killing State: Capital...

The Lost World of Classical Legal Thought: Law and Ideology in America, 1886-1937
ISBN: 9780195147131 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book examines the ideology of elite lawyers and judges from the Gilded Age through the New Deal. Between 1866 and 1937, a coherent outlook shaped the way the American bar understood the sources of law, the role of the courts, and the relationship between law and the larger society. William M. Wiecek explores this outlook--often called "legal orthodoxy" or "classical legal thought"--which assumed that law was apolitical, determinate, objective, and neutral. American classical legal thought was forged in the heat of the social crises that punctuated the late nineteenth century....

The Rehnquist Court: A Retrospective
ISBN: 9780195148398 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In 1986, the Supreme Court's leading conservative, William H. Rehnquist, labeled by Newsweek as "The Court's Mr. Right," was made Chief Justice. Almost immediately, legal scholars, practitioners, and pundits began questioning what his influence would be, and whether he would remake our constitutional corpus in his own image. Would the center hold, or fold? This collected volume, edited by Martin H. Belsky, is the third in a series which includes The Warren Court and The Burger Court, both edited by Bernard Schwartz. It gathers together a distinguished group of scholars, journalists, judges,...

A Revolution in Favor of Government: Origins of the U.S. Constitution and the Making of the American State
ISBN: 9780195148701 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. What were the intentions of the Founders? Was the American constitution designed to protect individual rights? To limit the powers of government? To curb the excesses of democracy? Or to create a robust democratic nation-state? These questions echo through today's most heated legal and political debates.
In this powerful new interpretation of America's origins, Max Edling argues that the Federalists were primarily concerned with building a government that could act vigorously in defense of American interests. The Constitution transferred the powers of war making and resource extraction... What were the intentions of the Founders? Was the American constitution designed to protect individual rights?

Affirmative Action and Racial Preference: A Debate
ISBN: 9780195148954 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Racial preferences are among the most contentious issues in our society, touching on fundamental questions of fairness and the proper role of racial categories in government action. Now two contemporary philosophers, in a lively debate, lay out the arguments on each side.
Carl Cohen, a key figure in the University of Michigan Supreme Court cases, argues that racial preferences are morally wrong--forbidden by the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, and explicitly banned by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. He also contends that such preferences harm society in general, damage the universities...

Partners for Democracy: Crafting the New Japanese State Under MacArthur
ISBN: 9780195151169 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In 1945, Japan surrendered unconditionally to the United States and its allies, thereby planting the seed from which would spring one of the world's most successful and stable democracies. In an age when democracy is often pursued, yet rarely accomplished, in which failed democracies are found throughout Africa, Latin America, and Asia, Japan's transformation from an utterly defeated military power into a thriving constitutional democracy commands attention.
It has long been assumed that postwar Japan was largely the making of America, that democracy was simply imposed on a defeated land.... In 1945, Japan surrendered unconditionally to the United States and its allies, thereby planting the seed from which would spring one of the world's m...
