Pan Macmillan Fake Law: The Truth About Justice in an Age of
Book SynopsisTHE TOP TEN SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER'A powerful polemic' Sunday Times'A compelling, eye-opening read' Daily Express– Did an illegal immigrant avoid deportation because he had a cat?– Is the law on the side of the burglar who enters your home? – Are unelected judges ‘enemies of the people’? Most of us think the law is only relevant to criminals, if we even think of it at all. But the law touches every area of our lives: from intimate family matters to the biggest issues in our society. Our unfamiliarity is dangerous because it makes us vulnerable to media spin, political lies and the kind of misinformation that frequently comes from loud-mouthed amateurs and those with vested interests. This 'fake law' allows the powerful and the ignorant to corrupt justice without our knowledge – worse, we risk letting them make us complicit. Thankfully, the Secret Barrister is back to reveal the stupidity, malice and incompetence behind many of the biggest legal stories of recent years. In Fake Law, the Secret Barrister debunks the lies and builds a defence against the abuse of our law, our rights and our democracy that is as entertaining as it is vital.Trade ReviewWell written, both punchy and providing concise explanations of complex laws . . . a powerful polemic that also acts as a primer about our legal rights -- Rosamund Urwin * Sunday Times *The Secret Barrister mounts a powerful defence of lawyers and the law from their noisy detractors . . . this is an urgent and highly readable book. You will come away from it feeling that your mind has been purged -- Thomas Grant * The Times *Fake Law is a compelling, eye-opening read and should act as a wake-up call for anyone with an interest in how the law, and, by extension, society and justice function – that is to say, every one of us. -- Huston Gilmore * Daily Express *The authority of this author is in the sheer quality of the writing. To keep up to this standard in tweet after tweet, blogpost after blogpost, and now book after book is remarkable – especially if, as the author tells us, they do all this in addition to a busy and stressful criminal practice * Prospect *I enjoyed reading this book. It is well-written and informative and the SB is right to lament the levels of public ignorance about the way the system works. -- Philip Johnston * Daily Telegraph *The Secret Barrister picks apart the “deliberate smokescreen” of falsehoods with which the UK government justifies its policies and the methods employed by a compliant press to amplify and embellish them. Unashamedly polemical but legally watertight, Fake Law is a disturbing indictment * Herald *This is not the easiest book you will read this summer. But it will be one of the most educational and alarming * Strong Words *A defence of the legal system and exposé of agenda-driven politicians, click-hungry tabloid editors and powerful corporate interests who persuade us that the system is stacked in favour of criminals and the undeserving. In fact, the resulting changes to the law mean our own rights – for example, to legal aid – are being quietly eroded * Daily Mirror *A much-needed book that looks at some of the biggest myths behind the legal system. Fans of the Secret Barrister will be pleased with the latest instalment, which offers well-written insight, making difficult-to-understand laws clearer with interesting and current case studies. -- Megan Baynes * Press Association *The anonymous campaigning lawyer returns with a myth-busting new book that takes on the many detractors of the law and legal profession. * The Times *

Daragh is a founding member of the Strategic Advisory Board to the School of Business in Maynooth University.Trade Review"Ethics play an increasingly important role when considering how to collect and use personal data. This updated edition of Data Ethics clearly explains how to take ethics seriously and make it an integral part of business information management and governance. The combination of sound and up to date legal theories with practical tips and case studies makes it a useful handbook for anyone working with data on a regular basis." * Paul Breitbarth, Senior Visiting Fellow, European Centre on Privacy and Cybersecurity, Maastricht University *"In a world where AI is creating a growing wave of often dubious information, O Brien and O'Keefe's book should be mandatory reading for everybody in IT, media, regulatory bodies and beyond. This new edition of Data Ethics focuses on emerging topics of vital importance in a world where ethical decisions by IT may literally be, in the extreme, matters of life and death." * Dr Barry Devlin, Founder, 9 Sight Consulting and author of Business unIntelligence *"I can't think of a subject more relevant than data ethics. Given that we live in a data-dependent world, the most important question is not "Can I do something with data?" but "Should I do something with data?". These questions should be considered by teens learning to code, businesspeople gathering and exploiting customer data, scientists developing and releasing Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications, and anyone creating and using data. Daragh and Katherine provide an excellent groundwork for addressing these questions and give us the tools to think and act with our data in a responsible way. Read their book, share it and apply it!" * Danette McGilvray, President and Principal, Granite Falls Consulting, Inc. and author of Executing Data Quality Projects *"Reading Data Ethics gave me goosebumps. Impeccably researched, it is the definitive work on the topic. Simultaneously confronting and enlightening, it challenged my own ethical framework and validated the principles I hold dear in my practice as a Data Governance Executive. The foreword by John Ladley is delightful and sets the scene perfectly for what is to follow.

Taylor & Francis Police Ethics
Book SynopsisPolice Ethics, Fourth Edition, provides an analysis of corruption in law enforcement organizations. The authors argue that the noble causeâa commitment to âœdoing something about bad peopleââis a central âœends-basedâ police ethic. This fundamental principle of police ethics can paradoxically open the way to community polarization and increased violence, however, when officers violate the law on behalf of personally held moral values. This book is about the power that police use to do their work and how it can lead police to abuse their positions at the individual and organizational levels. It provides students of policing with a realistic understanding of the kinds of problems they will confront in the practice of police work.This timely new edition offers police administrators direction for developing agency-wide corruption prevention strategies, and a re-written chapter further expands our level of understanding of corruption by covering the Model of Circumstantial Corruptibility in detail. The fourth edition also discusses critical ethical issues relating to the relationship between police departments and minority communities, including Black Lives Matter and other activist groups. In the post-Ferguson environment, this is a crucial text for students, academicians, and law enforcement professionals alike.Table of ContentsPart 1: Value-Based Decision-Making and the Ethics of Noble Cause 1.

Encounter Books,USA The Unelected: How an Unaccountable Elite is
Book SynopsisAmerica is highly polarized around elections, but unelected actors make many of the decisions that affect our lives. In this lucid history, James R. Copland explains how unaccountable agents have taken over much of the U.S. government apparatus.Congress has largely abdicated its authority. “Independent” administrative agencies churn out thousands of new regulations every year. Courts have enabled these rulemakers to expand their powers beyond those authorized by law—and have constrained executive efforts to rein in the bureaucratic behemoth. No ordinary citizen can know what is legal and what is not. There are some 300,000 federal crimes, 98 percent of which were created by administrative action. The proliferation of rules gives enormous discretion to unelected enforcers, and the severity of sanctions can be ruinous to citizens who unwittingly violate a regulation.Outside the bureaucracy, private attorneys regulate our conduct through lawsuits. Most of the legal theories underlying these suits were never voted upon by our elected representatives. A combination of historical accident, decisions by judges and law professors, and self-interested advocacy by litigators has built an onerous and expensive legal regime.Finally, state and local officials may be accountable to their own voters, but some reach further afield, pursuing agendas to dictate the terms of national commerce. These new antifederalists are subjecting the citizens of Wyoming and Mississippi to the whims of the electorates of New York and San Francisco—contrary to the constitutional design. In these ways, the unelected have assumed substantial control of the American republic, upended the rule of law, given the United States the world’s costliest legal system, and inverted the Constitution’s federalism. Copland caps off his account with ideas for charting a corrective course back to democratic accountability.Trade Review“The Unelected is valuable reading for anyone committed to a republican form of government. Copland identifies multiple aspects of the regulatory state that are fairly opaque and unaccountable but wield considerable unchecked power over Americans, who should expect elections to matter more. His call for public policy efforts to return authority to voters is worthy of serious debate and consideration.” —Leonard Leo, Co-Chairman, Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies “In this masterful history, Jim Copland shows how the law of the land became more like the law of the jungle. Who’s responsible? That’s the problem—Nobody. Bureaucrats and lawyers of a certain disposition use law as a weapon for extortion, beyond the control of democratically elected officials and timid judges.” —Philip K. Howard, author of The Death of Common Sense, and founder of Common Good “As America emerges from its deepest recession in decades, businesses need clear laws to follow. Unfortunately, shifting regulations, uncertain enforcement, and shakedown lawsuits are far too common. And local officials regularly reach past their borders to interfere with the economies of other states and municipalities. James Copland’s new book explores all these trends and suggests ideas we should be discussing to get on a better path.” —Thomas J. Donohue, Chief Executive Officer, U.S. Chamber of Commerce “In The Unelected, Jim Copland describes the raft of federal, state, and local officials whose interpretations of law have often overshadowed legislation itself—in a story running up to the current pandemic response. The awareness raised by his insightful historical and legal analysis is a necessary precondition to any institutional solution.” — Richard A. Epstein, Laurence A. Tisch Professor of Law, NYU Law School

Princeton University Press A Modern Legal Ethics
Book SynopsisProposes a renovation of legal ethics, one that contributes to ethical thought generally. This title reinterprets the positive law governing lawyers to identify fidelity as its organizing ideal. It asks what it is like - not psychologically but ethically - to practice law subject to the self-effacement that fidelity demands.Trade Review"[An] ambitious, original, and theoretically elegant book."--David Luban, Ethics "A Modern Legal Ethics is an intellectual whirlwind, sweeping from Aristotle and Kant to contemporary debates about impartial moral theory to the details of the Model Rules... What is most engaging is the question that drives Markovits throughout: is it possible for an adversary advocate today to have integrity?"--Benjamin C. Zipursky, Yale Law Journal "Markovits has given us in A Modern Legal Ethics a profound, provocative, and closely argued philosophical treatment of his subject."--Robert E. Rodes, Jr., American Journal of Jurisprudence "In a refreshing break from the positivist battle over the moral function of lawyers in an adversary system of adjudication, A Modern Legal Ethics investigates whether it is even possible for lawyers to occupy an ethical role in modern society... This unique perspective on the legal profession is informed by a combination of legal literature and political philosophy that is sure to capture the attention of academics and practicing lawyers alike."--Harvard Law Review "What makes lawyers unhappy is books like this one."--Monroe H. Freedman and Abbe Smith, Michigan Law Review "Markovits' work is an intelligent and thorough investigation of the possibility for lawyers to escape the criticism that they are often serving injustice rather than justice."--Norbert Campagna, Ethical Perspectives "In this complex and thought-provoking work, Markovits makes an original and substantial contribution to the field of professional legal ethics."--Tim Murphy, International Journal of Law in ContextTable of ContentsAcknowledgments xi Introduction 1 Part I Adversary Advocacy Chapter 1: The Wellsprings of Legal Ethics 25 Chapter 2: The Lawyerly Vices 44 Chapter 3: The Seeds of a Lawyerly Virtue 79 Part II Integrity Chapter 4: Introducing Integrity 103 Chapter 5: An Impartialist Rejoinder? 118 Chapter 6: Integrity and the First Person 134 Part III Comedy or Tragedy?

Ohio University Press The Lawyer Myth A Defense of the American Legal
Book SynopsisConfronts the hypocrisy of critics from both the right and the left who attempt to exploit popular misperceptions about lawyers and judges to further their own social and political agendas.Trade Review"An enlightening, convincing refutation of the myriad myths and misconceptions about lawyers and the legal system ... highly readable and well--reasoned." -- The Oklahoma Observer "Let's hear it for lawyers! No? Well, after reading this book, there may be more people willing to cheer. Strickland and Read were fed up with lawyers being blamed for the ills of society and the butt of jokes. In clear language, they explain just what lawyers do and why we need them. Anyone who has ever been caught in a legal tangle has reason to be grateful for a caring attorney. The authors also cover some of the myths about lawyers such as the woman who got a fortune because McDonald's made the coffee too hot and others." -- Book News, Inc. "Anyone thinking of going to law school must read this compelling book by two legal educators who have trained generations of lawyers. Professors Strickland and Read go behind the sensational cases that dominate headlines to explain why the myths about lawyers underestimate their important role in sustaining the rule of law." -- Anne Brandt, Associate Director for Education and Prelaw Programs, Law School Admission Council "This is a splendid book which really needed to be written. Having endured the slings and arrows launched at my profession for lo these many years, I am delighted that these authors offer herein a finely crafted, very insightful, and solidly reasoned defense of lawyers and the critical role lawyers play in our society. It is truly a must read for anyone who cares about the future of our democracy." -- Andrew M. Coats, Past President, American College of Trial Lawyers, Dean, University of Oklahoma College of Law "Finally, a clear, witty, and welcome corrective to distorted views about lawyers and the legal system. Read and Strickland show how lawyers solve problems, resolve disputes, protect individual rights, and support the rule of law that underlies both our successful economy and the institutions of our free and democratic society." -- Joseph William Singer "Two longtime law professors and former law school deans are 'mad as hell' about the destructive myths and misconceptions about lawyers and the legal system perpetuated by uninformed and unfair media treatment, political comment, and public misunderstanding. They have assembled, in highly readable form, the empirical data, the historical perspective, and an excellent description of legal training and practice that should set the stage for a more thoughtful and rational discussion of what Americans really believe about the rule of law." -- Christine M. Durham, Chief Justice, Utah Supreme Court Chief Justice, Utah Supreme Court

Cambridge University Press The Neuroethics of Memory
Book SynopsisThe Neuroethics of Memory is a thematically integrated analysis and discussion of neuroethical questions about memory capacity and content, as well as interventions to alter it. These include: how does memory function enable agency, and how does memory dysfunction disable it? To what extent is identity based on our capacity to accurately recall the past? Could a person who becomes aware during surgery be harmed if they have no memory of the experience? How do we weigh the benefits and risks of brain implants designed to enhance, weaken or erase memory? Can a person be responsible for an action if they do not recall it? Would a victim of an assault have an obligation to retain a memory of this act, or the right to erase it? This book uses a framework informed by neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy combined with actual and hypothetical cases to examine these and related questions.Trade Review'Walter Glannon achieves a rare balance: the book is clear and detailed about the neuroscience of memory and is also insightful about the legal and ethical challenges that scientific advances entail. This is a very timely and useful book.' Nick Davis, Manchester Metropolitan University'Memory is central to who we are and how we act. Provoking and thoughtful, The Neuroethics of Memory explores the implications of the new technologies that could alter memory and may fundamentally change who we are.' Andrew Davidson, Medical Director, Melbourne Children's Trials Centre, Australia'The Neuroethics of Memory provides an insightful and well-argued analysis of the implications of memory research for ethical issues that arise in legal and medical arenas. Drawing on literature from neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy, Walter Glannon gracefully illuminates some of the most difficult issues currently facing science and society.' Daniel L. Schacter, William R. Kenan, Jr Professor of Psychology, Harvard University'Walter Glannon has built a fascinating and wide-ranging account of memory. By channeling neurobiology, psychology, law, history, and philosophy, this book summarizes how memory defines who we are and forms the basis of our society. The result is a tour de force of neuroethics at its comprehensive best.' Julian Savulescu, Director of Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics, University of Oxford'As a synthesis and critical analysis of current work in several disciplines, this book offers an unparalleled vision of how neuroethics scholarship on memory can be interdisciplinary, rigorous, forward-looking, and compelling.' Eric Racine, Neuroethics'For its clear style and its rigorous and sound analytical arguments, The Neuroethics of Memory is a candidate to become an indispensable companion for any research on the ethics of memory and its manipulation.'

Cambridge University Press Corporate Personhood
Book SynopsisThe topic of corporate personhood has captured the attention of many who are concerned about the increasing presence, power, and influence of corporations in modern society. Recent Supreme Court cases like Citizens United, Hobby Lobby, and Masterpiece Cakeshop - which solidified the free speech and religious liberty rights of corporations and their owners - have heightened the controversy over treating corporations as persons under the law. What does it mean to say that the corporation is a person, and why does it matter? In Corporate Personhood, Susanna Kim Ripken addresses these questions and highlights the complexity of the corporate personhood concept. Using a broad, interdisciplinary framework - incorporating law, economics, philosophy, sociology, psychology, organizational theory, political science, and linguistics - this highly original work explores the complex, multidimensional nature of corporate personhood and its implications for corporate rights and duties.Trade Review'Corporate personhood has troubled us for millennia, and no book is likely to be the last word. But for readers interested in these issues, vital to the future of American democracy, this lucid, well-informed, fair-minded, and wide-ranging study will serve as an invaluable point of departure for all future debate.' Meir Dan-Cohen, University of California, Berkeley and author of Rights, Persons, and Organizations: A Legal Theory for Bureaucratic Society'Since Citizens United, Americans have been outraged by the notion that, as Mitt Romney infamously said, 'Corporations are people, my friend'. Breaking through the political slogans, Susanna Kim Ripken uses insights from law, economics, philosophy, and anthropology to show how complex and multifaceted corporate personhood is. This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand corporations and corporate power in society.' Adam Winkler, University of California, Los Angeles School of Law and author of We the Corporations: How American Businesses Won their Civil Rights'Corporate Personhood constitutes an indispensable contribution to the debate over the proper role, duties, and rights of the corporation. Eschewing more comfortable, less nuanced paths, Professor Ripken's masterpiece forges ahead with a thoughtful, balanced, and insightful portrait of the corporation, informed by a review of the best relevant interdisciplinary scholarship available.' Ronald J. Colombo, Maurice A. Deane School of Law, Hofstra University, New York and author of The First Amendment and the Business Corporation'This pathbreaking book insists – and persuades – that a multi-dimensional approach to the fractured corporate personhood debate best promotes correct understanding and fruitful progress. Distilling literature from many disciplines, Professor Ripken enriches our scholarly understanding and charts a pragmatic way forward on tough issues. A unique, impressive must-read book.' Lyman P. Q. Johnson, Robert O. Bentley Professor of Law, Washington and Lee University'Well referenced with court cases, law reviews, and journal articles.' G. E. Kaupins, ChoiceTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1. Legal theories of the corporate person; 2. Philosophical dimensions of the corporate person; 3. Social science dimensions of the corporate person; 4.

Cambridge University Press Consentability
Book SynopsisProblems regarding the nature of consent are at the heart of many of today''s most pressing issues. For example, the #MeToo movement has underscored the need to move beyond viewing consent as a simple matter of yes or no. Consent is complex because humans and their relationships are complicated. Humans, as a result of cognitive limitations and emotional and physical vulnerabilities, are susceptible to manipulation and mistakes. Given the potential for regret, are there some things to which one should not be permitted to consent? The consentability quandary becomes more urgent with technological advances. Should we allow body hacking? Cryonics? Consumer travel to Mars? Assisted suicide? In Consentability: Consent and Its Limits, Nancy S. Kim proposes a bold, original framework for evaluating consentability, which considers the complexities surrounding consent.Trade Review'Nancy Kim has reset the stage in terms of how consent should be understood and governed within the law. In rich prose, she explains there are 'reasons to doubt the invincibility of consent', and with that she takes the reader on an intellectually rich journey. This is the rarest of books, because scholars across many disciplines will want to read and reference it. At a time in which consent is mired in confusion and conflict, she offers a clear and rich analysis on how we got here.' Michele Goodwin, Chancellor's Professor of Law, University of California, Irvine'Should the law protect us from ourselves? Nancy Kim's timely and interesting book examines this question through the lens of consent and its limits. Ironically, in an era of increasing choice regarding how to live, die, and procreate, we also understand better than ever the limits of human capacity to make wise choices. What the law should do about that, however, is far from clear.' Kimberly Krawiec, Kathrine Robinson Everett Professor of Law, Duke University, North Carolina'With Consentability, Nancy Kim has cemented her reputation as a leading authority on contracting theory. Kim confronts cutting edge ethical questions about the boundaries of consent, drawn from real-life scenarios involving harmful and potentially life-threatening contracting decisions. Her carefully crafted analysis balances values of autonomy against community needs and mores and once again offers a framework to help us think more clearly about the meaning of consent.' Deborah Zalesne, City University of New York'… a good overview, clearly written, and accessible even to nonspecialists.' B. Gregg, ChoiceTable of ContentsIntroduction; Part I. The Contours of Consent: 1. What does it mean to consent? 2. The hard cases; Part II. Consentability and Contractability: 3. A consentability framework; 4. Consent and contracts; Part III.
