Taylor & Francis American Judicial Process
Book SynopsisThis text is a general introduction to American judicial process. The authors cover the major institutions, actors, and processes that comprise the U.S. legal system, viewed from a political science perspective. Grounding their presentation in empirical social science terms, the authors identify popular myths about the structure and processes of American law and courts and then contrast those myths with what really takes place. Three unique elements of this myth versus reality framework are incorporated into each of the topical chapters:1) Myth versus Reality boxes that lay out the topics each chapter covers, using the myths about each topic contrasted with the corresponding realities.2) Pop Culture boxes that provide students with popular examples from film, television, and music that tie-in to chapter topics and engage student interest.3) How Do We Know? boxes that discuss the methods of social scientific inquiry and debunk common myths about the judiciary andTrade Review"This superb volume successfully blends coverage of the judicial process with social scientific research on the legal system and insights into how legal actors are viewed in popular culture. This is no easy feat and I am confident that both students and professors will find this a most welcome and exciting approach."—Paul M. Collins, Jr., University of Massachusetts, Amherst"American Judicial Process is a game changer. Instead of relegating empirical evidence to the footnotes, this book challenges students to consider how we know what we know. The political science is front and center, but the masterful integration of examples from popular culture makes this anything but a dull read. Corley, Martinek, and Ward are a dream team for this kind of project. They have struck the perfect balance between wit and wisdom. This book challenges the popular conception of the American system of law and courts with a balanced—but never boring—reality check."—Rebecca D. Gill, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Nevada, Las Vegas"One of my biggest challenges as a teacher is finding a text that can engage students without sacrificing intellectual rigor or content. American Judicial Process threads that needle in a way no existing text does. This is a superb text that fills an important gap on the judicial bookshelf."—Ryan C. Black, Michigan State University"Written by three highly-respected law and courts scholars, American Judicial Process combines a rigorous focus on substantive material with a host of features that enhance its relevance to students. It also presents important findings from social science research in a straightforward and accessible way. I have been waiting for a judicial process book like this for a long time."—Brett Curry, Georgia Southern University"Corley, Ward, and Martinek provide an in-depth account of the American judicial process that often challenges existing understandings. Exceptionally well-written and grounded in current social science scholarship, the authors effectively use a variety of pedagogical tools. As someone who has taught undergraduates for over twenty years, I am excited about using this text in my judicial process class."—Susan B.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Participants In The International Legal System Multiple Perspectives on Nonstate Actors in International Law Routledge Research in International Law
Book SynopsisThe international legal system has weathered sweeping changes over the last decade as new participants have emerged. International law-making and law-enforcement processes have become increasingly multi-layered with unprecedented numbers of non-State actors, including individuals, insurgents, multinational corporations and even terrorist groups, being involved. This growth in the importance of non-State actors at the law-making and law-enforcement levels has generated a lot of new scholarly studies on the topic. However, while it remains uncontested that non-State actors are now playing an important role on the international plane, albeit in very different ways, international legal scholarship has remained riddled by controversy regarding the status of these new actors in international law. This collection features contributions by renowned scholars, each of whom focuses on a particular theory or tradition of international law, a region, an institutional regime or a particulaTable of ContentsForeword, Michael Reisman.

Taylor & Francis The Problem of Enforcement in International Law
Book SynopsisThis book explores the contentious topic of how collective and community issues should be protected and enforced in international law. Elena Katselli Proukaki takes a detailed look at the issue of third-State countermeasures, and considers the work the International Law Commission has done in this area. The volume addresses both the theory and practice of third-State countermeasures within international law. Critically reviewing the conclusions of the International Law Commission on the non-existence of a right to third-State countermeasures, it includes consideration of examples of State practice not previously covered in the literature of this topic.In taking a thorough view of the issues involved the author identifies concerns about third-State countermeasures which remain unanswered, and considers the possible legal ramifications arising from a clash between a right to third-State countermeasures and obligations arising from other international norms. The Problem of ETrade Review'Katselli Proukaki's core conclusion that countermeasures as solidarity measures are permitted by international law is well-founded, is supported by her research in State practice, and should be embraced.' 'Katselli Proukaki deserves credit for vigorously challenging the ILC approach with good arguments. Her scholarly work contributes greatly to the debate on solidarity measures as one of the still open issues of the law of State responsibility' Achilles Skordas, Solicitor, England and Wales; Visiting Professor, University of Sydney; Visiting Fellow, British Institute of International and Comparative Law Table of Contents1.
