Tyler discusses the history and future of habeas corpus in America and around the world.  The concept of habeas corpus--literally, to receive and hold the body--empowers courts to protect the right of prisoners to know the basis on which they are being held by the government and grant prisoners their freedom when they are held unlawfully. It is no wonder that habeas corpus has long been considered essential to freedom.   For nearly eight hundred years, the writ of habeas corpus has limited the executive in the Anglo-American legal tradition from imprisoning citizens and subjects with impunity. Writing in the eighteenth century, the widely influential English jurist and commentator William Blackstone declared the writ a bulwark of personal liberty. Across the Atlantic, in the leadup to the American Revolution, the Continental Congress declared that the habeas privilege and the right to trial by jury were among the most important rights in a free society.   This Very Short Introduction chronicles the storied writ of habeas corpus and how its common law and statutory origins spread from England throughout the British Empire and beyond, witnessing its use today around the world in nations as varied as Canada, Israel, India, and South Korea. Beginning with the English origins of the writ, the book traces its historical development both as a part of the common law and as a parliamentary creation born out of the English Habeas Corpus Act of 1679, a statute that so dramatically limited the executive''s power to detain that Blackstone called it no less than a second Magna Carta.  The book then takes the story forward to explore how the writ has functioned in the centuries since, including its controversial suspension by President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War. It also analyzes the major role habeas corpus has played in such issues as the World War II incarceration of Japanese Americans and the US Supreme Court''s recognition during the War on Terror of the concept of a citizen enemy combatant. Looking ahead the story told in these pages reveals the immense challenges that the habeas privilege faces today and suggests that in confronting them, we would do well to remember how the habeas privilege brought even the king of England to his knees before the law.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a real achievement to encapsulate and illustrate these various themes and principles so concisely, enabling even the reader without any prior legal knowledge to gain an insight into the nature of what has long been celebrated as this \"great palladium of the liberties of the subject\". * Trevor Allan, Society *\u003cbr\u003eIn this elegantly concise and concisely elegant volume, Amanda Tyler introduces readers to the privilege of the 'writ of habeas corpus'—one of the only individual liberties expressly enshrined in the original text of the US Constitution. In a tidy and terrific narrative, Tyler shows not just how an esoteric legal remedy came to be instrumental to the rule of law, but why it is incumbent upon all of us to fight to resurrect its historical role even as contemporary courts increasingly turn their backs. * Stephen I.

They range from claims that COVID-19 is a hoax to the theory that vaccines cause autism. In Liars, Cass Sunstein argues that free societies must generally allow falsehoods and lies, which cannot be excised from democratic debate. At the same time, governments should regulate specific kinds of falsehoods: those that genuinely endangerhealth, safety, and the capacity of the public to govern itself. Sunstein concludes that government and private institutions, like Facebook and Twitter, currently allow far too many lies, including those that threaten public health and democracy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a closely argued examination of lying and fake news, mainly in relation to US laws and organisations...

By surfacing the depths to which White hegemonic power influences our institutions and cultural assumptions, we gain more accurate understanding of how race manifests in national security domestically, transnationally, and globally.In Race and National Security, leading experts challenge conventional interpretations of national security by illuminating the underpinning of White supremacy in our social consciousness. The volume centers the experience of those who have long been on the receiving end of racialized state violence. It finds that re-envisioning national security requires more than just reducing the size and scope of the security state.Contributors offer visions for reforming and transforming national security, including adopting an abolitionist framework. Race and National Security invites us to radically reimagine a world where the security state does not keep Black, Brown, and other marginalized peoples subordinated through threats of and actual incarceration, violence, torture, and death. Race and National Security is a groundbreaking volume which serves as a catalyst for remembering, exposing, and reconceiving the role of race in national security.The Just Security book series from OUP tackles contemporary problems in international law and security that are of interest to a global community of scholars, policymakers, practitioners, and students. With each volume taking a particular thematic focus and gathering leading experts, the series as a whole aims to rigorously and critically reflect on developments in these areas of law, policy, and practice.

We discover how, in the name of \"reform,\" administrative devolution translates into increased punishment, reduced rights, continuing abuse, and public irresponsibility while reinforcing individualized conceptions of crime. Cate makes an original contribution to the sociology of the penal state that is sure to stimulate further research and public debate. * Loïc Wacquant, author of Punishing the Poor and The Invention of the \"Underclass\" *\u003cbr\u003eThe Myth of the Community Fix is a crucial and timely intervention in the criminal justice reform conversation in the United States. Cate uniquely analyzes juvenile justice policy alongside trends in the US political economy. The case studies of popular bipartisan reforms in California, Pennsylvania, and Texas reveal that our long-term disinvestment in public goods leads local governments and community-based organizations to maintain or expand carceral capacity in the name of reform. This book challenges anyone concerned about mass incarceration to craft solutions that disrupt punitive political culture rather than reinforce the status quo. * Heather Schoenfeld, author of Building the Prison State *\u003cbr\u003eSarah Cate's rich analysis shows how the community-control movement in juvenile justice reproduced the same problems of state-based institutions, but with even less political accountability. Situating juvenile justice reform within transformations in American political economy, such as privatization and welfare retrenchment, Cate reveals that devolution of juvenile institutions from state to county level control has been part of, not an alternative to, divestment from the public sector. This book is a devastating indictment of community-control models and a call to action for meaningful investment in public goods. * Lisa Miller, author of The Myth of Mob Rule *\u003cbr\u003eIt is recommended for libraries serving departments of political science, social work, and sociology. * Choice *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: The Limits of the Community-Based Reform Movement: Evidence from Pennsylvania, California and Texas Chapter 1: Abandoning Public Goods: The Turn to Community in the Context of Inequality Chapter 2: Devolution, Not Decarceration: Expanding Punishment Closer to Home Chapter 3: Privatizing Punishment: Consequences of Foundation-Led Policymaking Chapter 4: The Individual Focus: The Limits of Behavioral Solutions to Structural Problems Chapter 5: Still Punitive: Rationalizing Punishment for the 'Worst of the Worst' Conclusion: Bringing Public Goods Back In References Index","brand":"Oxford University Press Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48732672688471,"sku":"9780197674291","price":19.94,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780197674291.jpg?v=1719997894"},{"product_id":"discrimination-law-clarendon-law-series-9780198859277","title":"Discrimination Law Clarendon Law Series","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA challenging, yet highly accessible, introduction to discrimination law which highlights the major issues and asks how the right to equality can be made more effective.

This means that we often focus on how the state discriminates on the basis of race in its application and enforcement of laws and policies. This book draws on the synergy of political theory and civil rights law to expand the boundary of racial justice and consider the way in which racial discrimination happens outside the governmental or public sphere. ''Private racism'' is about recognizing that racial injustice also occurs in our private lives, including the television and movie industry, cyberspace, our intimate and sexual lives, and the reproductive market. Professor Sonu Bedi argues that private racism is wrong, enlarging the boundary of justice in a way that is also consistent with our Constitution. A more just society is one that seeks to address rather than ignore this less visible form of racism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Anyone interested in racism and the role it has played and continues to play in the lives of people today would find this book fascinating.'

All the while, a more immediate dilemma flies under the radar. Have forces been unleashed that are thrusting humanity down an ill-advised path, one that''s increasingly making us behave like simple machines? In this wide-reaching, interdisciplinary book, Brett Frischmann and Evan Selinger examine what''s happening to our lives as society embraces big data, predictive analytics, and smart environments. They explain how the goal of designing programmable worlds goes hand in hand with engineering predictable and programmable people. Detailing new frameworks, provocative case studies, and mind-blowing thought experiments, Frischmann and Selinger reveal hidden connections between fitness trackers, electronic contracts, social media platforms, robotic companions, fake news, autonomous cars, and more.

By illuminating these often intricate and hidden tradeoffs, and providing a practical framework for assessing and negotiating them, the authors give us the power to make wiser choices.' Nicolas Carr, author of The Glass Cage: How Our Computers Are Changing Us, from the Foreword\u003cbr\u003e'Re-Engineering Humanity brings a pragmatic if somewhat dystopic perspective to the technological phenomena of our age. Humans are learning machines and we learn from our experiences. This book made me ask myself whether the experiences we are providing to our societies are in fact beneficial in the long run.' Vint Cerf, Co-Inventor of the Internet\u003cbr\u003e'Frischmann and Selinger deftly and convincingly show why we should be less scared of robots than of becoming more robotic, ourselves. This book will convince you why it's so important we embed technologies with human values before they embed us with their own.' Douglas Rushkoff, author of Present Shock, Program or Be Programmed, and Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus\u003cbr\u003e'Brett Frischmann and Evan Selinger cogently argue that our Fitbit, Echo, Android, and game console, our Facebook pages, Google searches, Amazon and Netflix profiles, give far less than they take. With tiny, almost imperceptible steps, we have entered into a bargain with socio-technical engineers of the digital age that literally drains our humanity and is imperiling freedom, autonomy, and other precious values fundamental to meaningful human existence. Beyond admittedly important questions demanding balanced policy answers, this disquieting book is about the big picture. All of us should read it and decide, deliberately, if this is a future we want for ourselves and our children.' Helen Nissenbaum, Cornell Tech, and author of Privacy in Context: Technology, Policy, and the Integrity of Social Life\u003cbr\u003e'Everybody is suddenly worried about technology. Will social media be the end of democracy? Is automation going to eliminate jobs? Will artificial intelligence make people obsolete? Brett Frischmann and Evan Selinger boldly propose that the problem isn't the rise of 'smart' machines but the dumbing down of humanity. This refreshingly philosophical book asks what's lost when we outsource our decision-making to algorithmic systems we don't own and barely understand. Better yet, it proposes conceptual and practical ways to reclaim our autonomy and dignity in the face of new forms of computational control.' Astra Taylor, author of The People's Platform: Taking Back Power and Control in the Digital Age\u003cbr\u003e'A magnificent achievement. Writing in the tradition of Neil Postman, Jacque Ellul and Marshall McLuhan, this book is the decade's deepest and most powerful portrayal of the challenges to freedom created by our full embrace of comprehensive techno-social engineering.

Tim Wu, Isidor and Seville Sulzbacher Professor of Law, Columbia Law School, and author of The Attention Merchants\u003cbr\u003e'The book Re-Engineering Humanity by Brett Frischmann and Evan Selinger will help us all gain better understanding of techno-social engineering and help us think through what we want and don't want in our future. This is an incredible work that should be studied by every thinking human. It captures details on threats, documenting the many warnings we are already seeing.' Bob Gourley, CTO Vision (www.ctovision.com)\u003cbr\u003e'Together, they explore how ordinary activities like clicking on an app's legal terms are made so simple that it 'trains' us to not read the contents. Over time, the authors fear that humans will lose their capacity for judgment, discrimination and self-sufficiency. Or, as Douglas Rushkoff, a tech writer, put it: 'We should be less scared of robots than of becoming more robotic ourselves'.' The Economist Online (www.economist.com)\u003cbr\u003e'… a recent startling and thoughtful book … [Re-Engineering Humanity] is an exploration of how everyday practices – such as clicking to accept an app's legal terms – are made so simple that we are effectively 'trained' to not read the contents.

John Naughton, The Guardian\u003cbr\u003e'In Re-engineering Humanity, Brett Frischmann and Evan Selinger have dug deeply into what's going on behind the 'cheap bliss' in our fully connected world.' Doc Searles, Linux Journal\u003cbr\u003e'In our own time, as Frischmann and Selinger observe, the 'smart' device and 'internet of things' developers who offer us efficiency then pull a bait-and-switch: instead of sending us on our way to use our newly-free time on art, beauty, and education, they channel us into putting our time into mumblety-Facebook and its ilk, or what the authors aptly call 'cheap bliss'.' Lara Freidenfelds, Nursing Clio (www.nursingclio.org)\u003cbr\u003e'Brett Frischmann and Evan Selinger have written Re-Engineering Humanity as a sustained and multifaceted critique of how contemporary trends in internet technology are slowly but surely shrinking the territory of human autonomy. Their work is a warning, as well as a description, of how internet technologies that ostensibly make our lives easier do so by taking control of our lives away from our self-conscious decision-making.' Adam Riggio, Social Epistemology Review and Reply Collective (www.social-epistemology.com)\u003cbr\u003e'Professors Frischmann and Selinger shine a bright light on the current path of our surveillance capitalist society, using a combination of detailed analysis, contemporary examples, and thought experiments. The authors explain that as we (and information about us) increasingly become the product, we are also becoming simple machines programmed by our technology to respond in certain ways. As Frischmann and Selinger suggest, techno-social engineering is a powerful force that requires us to responsibly evaluate its use. And 'if we don't accept that responsibility, we risk becoming means to others' ends'.' Jeramie D.

Faced with ruthless criminal, trigger-happy gunslingers and assorted desperados, the lawmen of the Old West tried, and sometimes died, in their efforts to bring some semblance of order to their towns and communities.  There were Marshals, City Marshals and Constables who were employed by the local townspeople and whose authority was restricted to within the town or city limits. Then there were the County Sheriffs, who were elected by the citizens of the county, to keep the peace within the county, or the Texas Rangers and Arizona Rangers, who operated under the jurisdiction of their respective state governors and later US Marshals.The United States Marshals were appointed by the President of the United States and had the authority to operate anywhere in the USA and deal with federal crime. Each of these law enforcement officers employed their own deputies, all of whom had the same powers of enforcement.   Some believed that former criminals would make the most effective lawmen. Consequently, in some cases notorious gunfighters were employed as town marshals to help bring law and order to some of the most lawless of towns. These lawmen had to deal with the likes of the Dalton Gang, the James Brothers and the Rufus Buck Gang who thought nothing of raping and murdering innocent people just for the hell of it. These outlaws would frequently hide in the Indian Territory where there was no law to extradite them. The only law outside of the Indian Territory was that of Judge Isaac Parker, who administered the rules with an iron fist; the gallows at Fort Smith laid testament to his work.  The requirements needed to be a peace officer in the Wild West were often determined only by the individual's skill with a gun, and their courage. At times judgement was needed with only seconds to determine it, and that also meant that there was the odd occasion where justice and law never quite meant the same thing. The expression 'justice without law' was never truer than in the formative years of the West.","brand":"Pen \u0026 Sword Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48740021338455,"sku":"9781526782335","price":21.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526782335.jpg?v=1720053675"},{"product_id":"fake-law-the-truth-about-justice-in-an-age-of-lies-9781529009989","title":"Fake Law: The Truth About Justice in an Age of","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTHE TOP TEN\u003ci\u003e SUNDAY TIMES\u003c\/i\u003e BESTSELLER\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'A powerful polemic' \u003ci\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'A compelling, eye-opening read' \u003ci\u003eDaily Express\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Did an illegal immigrant avoid deportation because he had a cat?\u003cbr\u003e– Is the law on the side of the burglar who enters your home? \u003cbr\u003e– Are unelected judges ‘enemies of the people’?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Most of us think the law is only relevant to criminals, if we even think of it at all.

The judgement was handed down in 1970, but the decision has shaped decades of debate about the law’s control and recognition of non-normative gender identities. The decision in this case – that the marriage between the Hon. Arthur Corbett and April Ashley was void on the grounds that April Ashley had been born male – has been profoundly influential across the common law world, and came as a dramatic and intolerant intervention in developing discussions about the relationships between medicine, law, questions of sex versus gender, and personal identity.

Drawing on the concept of master narratives, the book provides an examination of rape myths and broader cultural narratives focussing on the intersections of gender and class and it also touches on the intersections of age, (dis)ability and mental health. It emphasizes the importance of situating rape myth debates and sexual violence research within a broader cultural context and thus argues for widening the lens with which rape myths in the courtroom, as well as in the wider criminal justice system, are viewed in research and contemporary debates.

Sex workers, gay men, and transgender people became visible in the Indian public sphere in the mid-1980s when the rise of HIV\/AIDS became a frightening issue. The Indian state started to fold these groups into national HIV\/AIDS policies as high-risk groups in an attempt to create an effective response to the epidemic. Lakkimsetti argues that over time the crisis of HIV\/AIDS effectively transformed the relationship between sexual minorities and the state from one that was focused on juridical exclusion to one of inclusion.

Goodrich traces Law and Literature’s history as a continuous derailing of so-called pure law. This occurs in law’s earliest quasi-religious inscriptions of its sanctity. It continues in law’s present confrontations with new media, posthumanism, and trans identities. Law has always attempted to tame its narrativity, affective and imagistic qualities, and deep inventedness, while nonetheless alluding to canonical literary texts to shore up its legitimacy and argue for the universal validity of its decisions. Goodrich shows that Law has always invented. Poethical decisions and jurisliterary texts demonstrate the allegorical force of the literary that work within law, if in still unacknowledged ways.

As our society grapples with the threat posed by terrorism and the uncertainty that has followed the Brexit referendum and the coronavirus pandemic, cracks have begun to appear in the very foundations of our liberal democracy; the values that we once regarded as sacred are being called into question.  Former barrister and judge Inigo Bing examines how the bonds of trust between the British people and our democratic institutions have broken down and the principles that underpin the rule of law are under threat from populist politics. Populism on Trial analyses how politicians have shown an increasing contempt for the principle of judicial independence as they attempt to exercise unrestrained power.  Bing seeks to remind us that without law we have only power, and power without law is tyranny. He demonstrates how the rule of law is a fragile yet essential ingredient in our democracy and argues that it must be vigorously upheld or it will be cast aside by the rising tide of populism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Inigo Bing makes a compelling defence of parliamentary democracy and entrenched rights against the new populism. As he so rightly says, defeating populism requires a strong, vibrant civil society where citizens' rights and mutual obligations are underpinned by a strong and respected judiciary. This is a bold statement of the liberal democracy we need to defend to the utmost in these turbulent times.\" - Andrew Adonis \"There is no better time to put populism and threats to human rights under a forensic microscope than post-Brexit, and Inigo Bing does it in style. Brilliantly researched and utterly compelling to read, I warmly recommend this book.\" - Nigel Pascoe QC \"Populism is a disease that does not want to be cured; indeed, many UK voters would say that our democracy is fit and healthy. In this elegantly written book, Inigo Bing uses the lawyer's scalpel to open up the national body politic, revealing that on the inside it is deeply unwell. Bing's insightful analysis will confirm that the populist disease must be treated if we are to prevent power-seeking politicians from subverting the true values of our democracy.\" - Sir Geoffrey Nice QC, Emeritus Professor of Law, Gresham College \"Inigo Bing has spent more than four decades in the law, both as barrister and as judge. He has combined that depth of experience, profound learning and authorial flair to write an exceptionally timely book on the uneasy relationship between the government and the judiciary. Populism on Trial is a stark reminder of the importance of the rule of law in fractious times and the centrality of independent judges to the preservation of our freedoms; it is also a warning of the dangers we face if those fundamental truths are forgotten.\" - Thomas Grant QC, bestselling author of Court Number One","brand":"Biteback Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887787848023,"sku":"9781785905759","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781785905759.jpg?v=1722546253"},{"product_id":"nobodys-child-a-tragedy-a-trial-and-a-history-of-the-insanity-defense-2020-9781785905629","title":"Nobody's Child: A Tragedy, a Trial, and a History","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA three-year-old boy dies, having apparently fallen while trying to reach a bag of sugar on a high shelf. His grandmother stands accused of second-degree murder. Psychologist Susan Nordin Vinocour agrees to evaluate the defendant, to determine whether the impoverished and mentally ill woman is competent to stand trial. Vinocour soon finds herself pulled headlong into a series of difficult questions, beginning with: was the defendant legally insane on the night in question? As she wades deeper into the story, Vinocour traces the legal definition of insanity back nearly two hundred years, when our understanding of the human mind was in its infancy.  \"Competency\" and \"insanity\", she explains, are creatures of legal definition, not psychiatric reality, and in criminal law, \"insanity\" has become a luxury of the rich and white.

Highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary teams working collaboratively to solve legal problems, the book introduces a ‘Law+’ model for the profession, comprising sixteen skills across four quadrants: Law+People, Law+Business, Law+Change and Law+Technology. As well as outlining each of the skills, the book explains how to build those skills as an individual, a law firm, an in-house team, a university or a law school. Designed for both lawyers and business professionals working in law, The Legal Team of the Future dispels the myth that the ‘lawyer of the future’ is solely responsible for the future of the profession, instead focusing on diverse individuals working within their own specializations. The Law+ model is more than an academic theory, containing real-world examples and case studies and devised by an expert in legal innovation who is still working in the field on a daily basis. This book is the guide you need to navigate the future of the legal profession and to stay ahead of the pack in delivering legal services to clients.","brand":"London Publishing Partnership","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888601280855,"sku":"9781913019648","price":23.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781913019648.jpg?v=1722550203"},{"product_id":"more-disputes-and-differences-essays-on-the-history-of-arbitration-and-its-continuing-relevance-9781919631837","title":"More Disputes and Differences: Essays on the","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMore Disputes and Differences: Essays on the History of Arbitration and its Continuing Relevance, is the last volume worked on by Derek Roebuck, though not quite completed before his death in 2020. It has, therefore, been prepared for publication by his widow, and sometimes co-author, women's historian Susanna Hoe. It comprises articles, lectures and chapters dating from his 2010 volume Disputes and Differences: Comparisons in Law, Language and History. But, whereas the chapters of that earlier, thematic work were quite disparate, this book, particularly in part 1, 'The Past', encompasses the history of arbitration and mediation from prehistory to the early nineteenth century.   What makes this volume particularly interesting is that it is possible, as chapter follows chapter, to deduce which of Derek Roebuck's multi-volume histories he was working on at the time, and what other works he was reading or hearing then. This is illustrated by the last essay in Part 1 - 'A Pinch of Reality: Private Dispute Resolution in 18th Century England (2019)'.  Part 2 - 'Past, Present and Future' (2013) - starts with 'The Future of Arbitration' (2013) which embodies just that, ending with 'Keeping an Eye on Fundamentals' (2012). Part 3 - 'Language, Research and Comparison', features works that bow to the author's particular interests and their connection to arbitration and its history. And he had a rule that, where possible, he would suggest what research still needed to be done, hence 'ADR in Business: Topics for Research' (2012).

This is the article which in recent years made the right to privacy as well as the decriminalization of homosexuality possible. Without a doubt, Article 21 has had the most outsized influence on the progressive development of rights in India. But the story of how this important right was birthed is deeply controversial and its passage in the Constituent Assembly divided opinion like no other feature of the Constitution. Liberty After Freedom explores the intellectual beginnings of this paramount fundamental right in an attempt to decode and unravel the controversies which raged at the time the Constitution was being crafted.Written in lucid prose and drawing extensively on the Constituent Assembly debates as well as a wide array of scholarly literature, it questions long-held beliefs and sheds new and important light on the fraught history of due process and Article 21.
