Book SynopsisFirst published in 1973, Wrongful Imprisonment aims to combine the human interest of individual cases of wrongful imprisonment with a general analysis of how and why they occur. It deals in detail with the English system, but also provides comparisons with Scotland, France, and the United States. The authors spent three years collecting material from newspaper reports, trial transcripts, books, lawyers, the Home Office and most important interviews with the persons concerned. As a result, they have been able to analyse objectively the existing system of justice; they have isolated and identified the areas in which the system is at fault, and the successive hazards which may confront the innocent man suspected of a criminal offence; they have also revealed the many obstacles which have to be overcome by the wrongfully imprisoned man seeking to establish his innocence and regain his liberty. This topical and convincingly argued book should appeal not only to students of law aTable of ContentsForeword Preface Acknowledgements 1. Wrongful Imprisonment? 2. Identification Evidence 3.

Book SynopsisCommunity Justice discusses concepts of community within the context of justice policy and programs and addresses the important relationship between the criminal justice system and the community in the USA.Taking a bold stance in the criminal justice debate, this book argues that crime management is more effective through the use of informal (as opposed to formal) social control. It demonstrates how an increasing number of criminal justice elements are beginning to understand that developing partnerships within the community that enhance informal social control will lead to stabilization and possibly a decline in crime, especially violent crime, and make communities more livable. Borrowing from an eclectic toolbox of ideas and strategies community organizing, environmental crime prevention, privatepublic partnerships, and justice initiatives Community Justice puts forward a new approach to establishing safe communities and highlights the failure of the curre

Book SynopsisThe updated paperback edition of HATE dispels misunderstandings plaguing our perennial debates about hate speech vs. free speech, showing that the First Amendment approach promotes free speech and democracy, equality, and societal harmony. As hate speech has no generally accepted definition, we hear many incorrect assumptions that it is either absolutely unprotected or absolutely protected from censorship. Rather, U.S. law allows government to punish hateful or discriminatory speech in specific contexts when it directly causes imminent serious harm. Yet, government may not punish such speech solely because its message is disfavored, disturbing, or vaguely feared to possibly contribute to some future harm. Hate speech censorship proponents stress the potential harms such speech might further: discrimination, violence, and psychic injuries. However, there has been little analysis of whether censorship effectively counters the feared injuries. Citing evidence from many countries, this book shows that hate speech are at best ineffective and at worst counterproductive. Therefore, prominent social justice advocates worldwide maintain that the best way to resist hate and promote equality is not censorship, but rather, vigorous counterspeech and activism.Trade ReviewNadine Strossen speaks power to Hate. * Sloane Crosley, Vanity Fair *I have said it before about books, but this time I couldn't be more emphatic about it: everyone should read this book. * Lucy Kogler, LitHub *While other countries provide significant protection for free expression, the United States provides a significantly elevated level of protection, particularly for hateful speech. Nadine Strossen's insightful and eminently readable study on why we protect such speech and why we should continue to do so is an all-too-rare example of first-rate legal scholarship that the public at large can learn from and savor reading. * Floyd Abrams, Senior Counsel, Cahill Gordon & Reindel; Adjunct Professor, NYU Law School; Author, The Soul of the First Amendment *Strossen has accomplished something remarkable in this slim book - she has ventured into a complex and heavily examined field and produced a book that is original, insightful, and clear-headed. My guess: this book will become the go-to work in the field. * Ronald Collins, Harold S. Shefelman Scholar at the UW School of Law, Publisher of First Amendment News *"One of life's hardest tasks is to tell natural allies they are wrong. Nadine Strossen is clear in a time of confusion, consistent in an era of hypocrisy, and brave in an environment of intimidation. Her book is a fitting capstone to a career in defense of our civil liberties. * Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr., President of Purdue University, former Indiana Governor *In this work, Strossen stakes out a bold and important claim about how best to protect both equality and freedom. Anyone who wants to advocate for 'hate speech' laws and policies in the future now has the `Devil's Advocate' right at hand. No one can address this issue in the foreseeable future without taking on this formidable and compelling analysis. It lays the foundation for all debates on this issue for years to come. * Geoffrey Stone, Edward H. Levi Distinguished Service Professor of Law at University of Chicago Law School *Nadine Strossen is one of the great civil libertarians of our day. This book provides a powerful and subtle defense of free speech. Don't miss it! * Dr. Cornel West, Professor of the Practice of Public Philosophy, Harvard Divinity School *As Nadine Strossen writes eloquently in her new book, HATE: Why We Should Resist It with Free Speech, Not Censorship, a democracy succeeds only when the rights, thoughts, and aspirations of all its citizens are respected and given voice, and the citizenry believes that this is true, regardless of viewpoint. * Maryanne Wolf, John DiBiaggio Professor of Citizenship and Public Service at Tufts University and author of Reader, Come Home: The Reading Brain in a Digital Culture *In this impressive work, Strossen offers an overarching perspective on the challenges of reconciling a concept of "hate speech" with a broad commitment to freedom of expression. This is an original, insightful, and compelling analysis, both timely and enduring, that has academic, constitutional, and international importance. * Robert Zimmer, University of Chicago President *Indeed, in yet a third new book in this area, Hate, former American Civil Liberties Union President Nadine Strossen points out that federal courts during the civil-rights era "refused to halt speeches and demonstrations by civil-rights advocates because of threatened and even actual violence by opponents of their cause." - Carlin Romano, The ChronicleAs Strossen shows in her important and comprehensive (yet brilliantly concise) new book, HATE, fighting hatred and bigotry by banning hate speech is like fighting global warming by banning thermometers.

This book is for those who think they already know all the free speech arguments." - Eric Heinze, Queen Mary University of LondonEngagement, not censorship is the answer... [the world] needs to hear Strossen's cautionary tale of how the practice and application of hate speech laws widely undermine the good intentions, ultimately leading to frustration over legless political correctness or at worst, paving a path from liberal democracy towards totalitarianism." - Chloë M. Gilgan, University of YorkStrossen has written a book that should be widely read." - John Samples, Economic BlogsProfessor Strossen gives an impassioned and articulate argument for why the best medicine for offensive speech is more speech...

Eck draws on decades of academic and professional writing experience to provide an analytical toolkit for clear professional writing. This book focuses on the essential objective of clarity, and addresses topics seldom addressed in other books, such as ethics beyond plagiarism; writing with co-authors; organizing complex ideas; using analytics to improve writing; crafting strong beginnings and endings; using examples and metaphors; and integrating tables, charts, and diagrams. As universities continue to demand writing-intensive courses in the social sciences, this book is indispensable in university settings and throughout a professional career. The reader will use the practical advice, examples, and exercises in this book to master a method for clear writing unimpaired by stereotypical academic jargon. The book will help both new and seasoned researchers seeking to translate their work into a clear and accessible Trade Review"Eck makes a convincing argument that complex prose or attempts to sound clever lead to frustrated readers and muddled ideas. He presents practical techniques to encourage us to write clearly and introduces tools that can help us to evaluate our progress. There is also lots of fun along the way."Kate Bowers, Head of the Department of Security and Crime Science, University College London, UK"John Eck’s Writing with Sweet Clarity is an imaginative, comprehensive, and altogether persuasive and practical 'kit of tools' for improving student writing.

Every police officer needs this book."Maris Herold, Chief of Police, Boulder (Colorado) Police Department, USA"Writing in English is challenging for non-native English speakers like myself.

Book SynopsisHow does sexual consent work? How do we know that another person really wants to have sex with us? Why do people sometimes give in to sex that they are not in the mood for? And how come it is sometimes difficult to draw a sharp line between sex and assault? Dynamics of Sexual Consent addresses these questions based on deeply personal interviews with twenty Swedish women and men of various ages and sexual orientations. In doing so, it contributes to understandings of sexual consent and sexual grey areas through its combination of conceptual rigour, analytical detail and empirical richness.While starting in the legal definition of consent as voluntary participation, the book broadens the discussion to a wider sociological and philosophical sphere where gendered power dynamics and relational dependencies challenge simplistic understandings of voluntariness. Contesting tendencies to see miscommunication as the key problem related to consent, it shows that emotional aspects

Book SynopsisFirst published in 1999, the overall aim of the book is to provide a comprehensive critical guide to the theory and practice of residential care. This is achieved by analysing the history and development of residential child care, examining the current legislative framework and analysing research. The volume has been written against the background of a crisis of confidence in residential child care. The system is often seen as facing perpetual problems of abuse, lack of control and crime. This book seeks to both understand and respond to this challenging situation.Understanding Residential Child Care commences by providing historical and theoretical perspectives. Having provided this analysis the authors move on to examine the empowerment of young people, the framework provided by the Children Act, the role of the manager, the importance of supporting and supervising staff, abuse in care and the experience of leaving care.The book concludes with a chapter suggesting a way forward for residential child care. The core concept explored and applied throughout the book is that of empowerment. It is suggested that this concept can act as an organising framework for re-casting residential child care in a positive manner, so that a quality environment can be provided which can effectively protect and promote the best interests of the child.Trade Review’This is an important book which, by locating a political and theoretical perspective alongside practice, fills a gap in the current literature on residential childcare...stimulating and optimistic, resulting in an accessible book which should be essential reading to all those interested in residential childcare.’ British Journal of Social WorkTable of Contents1.

Book Synopsis"Our calling is to drop our egos, commit to removing barri­ers, and treat our learners with the unequivocal respect and dignity they deserve." --Mirko Chardin and Katie Novak When it comes to the hard work of reconstructing our schools into places where every student has the opportunity to succeed, Mirko Chardin and Katie Novak are absolutely convinced that teachers should serve as our primary architects. And by "teachers" they mean legions of teachers working in close collaboration. After all, it’s teachers who design students’ learning experiences, who build student relationships . . . who ultimately have the power to change the trajectory of our students’ lives. Equity by Design is intended to serve as a blueprint for teachers to alter the all-too-predictable outcomes for our historically under-served students. A first of its kind resource, the book makes the critical link between social justice and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) so that we can equip students (and teachers, too) with the will, skill, and collective capacity to enact positive change. Inside you’ll find: Concrete strategies for designing and delivering a culturally responsive, sustainable, and equitable framework for all students Rich examples, case studies, and implementation spotlights of educators, students (including Parkland survivors), and programs that have embraced a social justice imperative Evidence-based application of best practices for UDL to create more inclusive and equitable classrooms A flexible format to facilitate use with individual teachers, teacher teams, and as the basis for whole-school implementation "Every student," Mirko and Katie insist, "deserves the opportunity to be successful regardless of their zip code, the color of their skin, the language they speak, their sexual and/or gender identity, and whether or not they have a disability." Consider Equity by Design a critical first step forward in providing that all-important opportunity.

It is a practical, realistic and useful guide and workbook." -- Paul Forbes"Social justice should be the pursuit of every school, institution, organization and individual. The authors have demonstrated how UDL (Universal Design for Learning) can be the technique by which social justice is achievable. Their text makes clear that simply having a social justice lens or desire is insufficient; action is what is needed. From culturally responsive teaching, to restorative justice, to the design process, to navigating holidays, Novak and Chardin provide clear rationales, practical strategies, explicit examples, and next step actions for every educator interested in a just society." -- Wendy Murawski"Equity by Design is critically relevant for educators of today’s youth, the leaders of our future global society, to understand how our work influences their place in the world." -- Lisa Graham"This book offers a powerful and concrete pathway for educators to incorporate social justice in curriculum development, teaching strategies and practices. Readers meet an array of educators who put these ideas into practice and learn many ideas for creating an equitable and inclusive school." -- Becki Cohn-Vargas"Equity by Design will promote usefulness for teachers and students through its research based foundation and practical applications. It is thought provoking!" -- Melanie Sitzer Hedges"Equity by Design is a must-read for anyone engaged in educating young people. It does a phenomenal job of identifying the barriers that many students face, as well as how educators can help students overcome these barriers." -- Melissa Miller"Now, more than ever, equitable education is of the utmost importance.

Book SynopsisThis book critically confronts perceptions that social media has become a âwastelandâ for young people. Law has become preoccupied with privacy, intellectual property, defamation and criminal behaviour in and through social media. In the case of children and youth, this book argues, these preoccupations â whilst important â have disguised and distracted public debate away from a much broader, and more positive, consideration of the nature of social media. In particular, the legal tendency to consider social media as âdangerousâ for young people â to focus exclusively on the need to protect and control their online presence and privacy, whilst tending to suspect, or to criminalise, their use of it â has obscured the potential of social media to help young people to participate more fully as citizens in society. Drawing on sociological work on the construction of childhood, and engaging a wide range of national and international legal material, this book argues that social media may yet offer the possibility of an entirely different â and more progressive âconceptualisation of children and youth.Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisThe book provides an in-depth discussion of democratic theory questions in relation to refugee law.The work introduces readers to the evolution of refugee law and its core issues today, as well as central lines in the debate about democracy and migration. Bringing together these fields, the book links theoretical considerations and legal analysis. Based on its specific understanding of the refugee concept, it offers a reconstruction of refugee law as constantly confronted with the question of how to secure rights to those who have no voice in the democratic process. In this reconstruction, the book highlights, on the one hand, the need to look beyond the legal regulations for understanding the challenges and gaps in refugee protection. It is also the structural lack of political voice, the book argues, which shapes the refugee's situation. On the other hand, the book opposes a view of law as mere expression of power and points out the dynamics within the law which reflecTable of ContentsI.

Book SynopsisThis volume offers a diverse set of perspectives on transnational crime. Providing a wide-ranging overview of the legal and policy issues that arise in connection with various forms of transnational crime, the authors outline the criminal justice responses adopted across different jurisdictions. Including contributions from high profile Chinese and European academics and practitioners across a variety of disciplines and methodological backgrounds, the authors address some of the hitherto underexplored issues related to transnational crime. These range from trafficking in cultural objects derived from illicit metal-detecting and metal-detecting tourism in China to the European approaches to criminalising the denial of historical truth. The central theme of the book is that useful lessons can be drawn from each other's experiences, and that a cross-fertilisation of domestic approaches to transnational crime is essential to effective cooperation.This book will be of usTable of Contents1.

Book SynopsisLaw and the Politics of Memory: Confronting the Past examines law's role as a tool of memory politics in the efforts of contemporary societies to work through the traumas of their past.  Using the examples of French colonialism and Vichy, as well as addressing the politics of memory surrounding the Holocaust, communism and colonialism, this book provides a critical exploration of law's role in belated' transitional justice contexts. The book examines how and why law has become so central in processes in which the past is constituted as a series of injustices that need to be rectified and can allegedly be repaired. As such, it explores different legal modalities in processes of working through the past; addressing the implications of regulating history and memory through legal categories and legislative acts, whilst exploring how trials, restitution cases, and memory laws manage to fulfil such varied expectations as clarifying truth, rendering homage to memory anTable of ContentsChapter I: Introduction, Chapter II: European Memory: Memory Claims and their Legal ‘Regulation’ in the European Union, Chapter III: France and Challenges to French Universalism: Towards Accepting Collective Responsibility for Vichy Crimes, Chapter IV: Trial About Discourse: Torture During the Algerian, Chapter V: Memory Laws and the Politics of Victimhood, Chapter VI: Conclusion: Why Law?, Bibliography, Index

Book SynopsisThe accountability of armed non-state actors is a neglected field of international law, overtaken by the regimes of state responsibility and individual criminal accountability as well as fears of legitimacy. Yet armed non-state actors are important players in the international arena and their activities have significant repercussions. This book focuses on their obligations and accountability when they do not function as state agents, regardless of the existence or extent of accountability of their individual members. The author claims that their distinct features lead to their classification into three different types: de facto entities, armed non-state actors in control of territory, and common article 3 armed non-state actors. The mechanisms that trigger the applicability of humanitarian and human rights law regimes are examined in detail as well as the framework of obligations. In both cases, the author argues that armed non-state actors should not be treated as entering international law and process exclusively through the state. The study concludes by focussing on their accountability in international humanitarian and human rights law and, more specifically, to the rules of attribution, remedies and reparations for violations of their primary obligations.Trade Review"This is a useful and careful monograph, on a very topical subject matter. It is presented with analytical legal depth and sensitiveness to practice and its needs. The conclusions reached remain on the whole measured and reasonable - rather than excessively militant. This fact strengthens the impact of the analysis. Overall, a clearly gainful and stimulating reading for all those interested in the law of armed conflict." - Robert Kolb, University of Geneva, Switzerland"Mastorodimos' monograph is an important contribution to a very topical aspect of international law: the accountability of Armed Non-State Actors in times of war and peace. The author covers all the relevant legal dimensions of International Humanitarian and Human Rights Law in depth. The writing is clear and convincing, as are his use of sources and analysis. This book is written for academics and professionals alike." - Sascha-Dominik Bachmann, Bournemouth University, UKTable of ContentsTable of Case Law, Table of International Conventions, Table of Other Agreements, Table of Documents from International Organizations, Table of Travaux Préparatoires, Table of National Documents, Table of Documents from Non-Governmental Organizations, List of Abbreviations, Preface, introduction, 1 Notion of Armed Non-State Actors, 3 obligations and Accountability of Armed Non-State Actors in international Humanitarian law, 4 obligations and Accountability of Armed Non-State Actors in international Human rights law, 5 the obligations and Accountability of Armed Non-State Actors, Bibliography, Index

Book SynopsisThis book examines the phenomenon of Community Justice Centres and their potential to transform the justice landscape by tackling the underlying causes of crime.Marred by recidivism, addiction, family violence, overflowing courtrooms, crippling prison spending and extreme rates of incarceration, the criminal justice system is in crisis. Community Justice Centres seek to combat this by tackling the underlying causes of crime in a particular neighbourhood and working with local people to redesign the experience of justice and enhance the notion of community. A Community Justice Centre houses a court which works with an interdisciplinary team to address the causes of criminality such as drug addiction, cognitive impairment, mental illness, poverty, abuse and intergenerational trauma. The  community thus becomes a key agent of change, partnering with the Centre to tackle local issues and improve safety and community cohesion.

Book SynopsisDisability is defined by hierarchy. Regardless of culture or context, persons with disabilities are almost always pushed to the bottom of the social hierarchy.With the advent of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2006), disability human rights seemingly provided a path forward for tearing down ableist social hierarchies and ensuring that all persons with disabilities everywhere were treated equally. Despite important progress, the disability human rights project not only remains incomplete, but has often created new hierarchies among persons with disabilities themselves or across the human rights it promotes. Certain groups of persons with disabilities have gained new voices while others remain silenced and certain rights are prioritized over others depending on what states, international organizations, or advocates want rather than what those on the ground need most.This volume was inspired both by the continued need to expose human rights violTable of Contents0.Introduction.

Book SynopsisChronicling and analyzing resistance to the threat that autocracy poses to American liberal democracy, this book provides the definitive account of both Trump's efforts to erode democracy's essential elements and opposition to those efforts.This book is about the threat of autocracy, which antedated Donald Trump and will persist after he leaves the stage. Autocrats blur or breach the separation of powers, use executive orders to bypass the legislature, pack the courts, replace career prosecutors with political appointees, abuse the pardon power, and claim immunity from the law. They seek to hobble opposition from civil society by curtailing speech and assembly, tolerating and even encouraging vigilante violence, and attacking the media. As this book demonstrates, Trump followed the autocrat's playbook in many ways. He was a huckster of hate, aiming his vitriol at women and racial minorities and making attacks on immigrants the focus of his 2016 campaign, as well as his first Table of ContentsPreface viiAcronyms xDramatis Personae xii1 How Autocrats Use Power 12 The Politics of Resentment 83 Politicizing Criminal Justice 744 The Fate of Law 151References 174Index 181

Book SynopsisUnlike other textbooks on the subject, this book presents a comprehensive and structured account of the process of administering planned change in the criminal justice system. The authors detail a simple yet sophisticated seven-stage model, which offers students and practitioners a full account of program and policy development from beginning to end. Within these stages, students focus on performing essential procedures, such as conducting a systems analysis, specifying an impact model, identifying target populations, making cost projections, collecting monitoring data, and performing evaluations. In reviewing these steps and procedures, students can develop a full appreciation for the challenges inherent in the process and understand the tools they require to meet those challenges. To provide for a greater understanding of the material, the text uses a wide array of real-life case studies and examples of programs and policies. By examining the successes and failures of various innovations, the authors demonstrate both the ability of rational planning to make successful improvements and the tendency of unplanned change to result in undesirable outcomes. The result is a powerful argument for the use of logic, deliberation, and collaboration in criminal justice innovations.This readable volume is ideal as a primary or supplemental text in criminal justice policy-related courses, and also serves as a useful reference for practitioners in the field tasked with strategic planning for policy change.

Book SynopsisDay fines, as a pecuniary sanction, have a great potential to reduce inequality in the criminal sentencing system, as they impose the same relative punishment on all offenders irrespective of their income. Furthermore, with correct implementation, they can constitute an alternative sanction to the more repressive and not always efficient short-term prison sentences. Finally, by independently expressing in the sentence the severity and the income of the offender, day fines can increase uniformity and transparency of sentencing. Having this in mind, almost half of the European Union countries have adopted day fines in their criminal justice system. For the first time, this book makes their findings accessible to a wider international audience. Aimed at scholars, policy makers and criminal law practitioners, it provides an opportunity to learn about the theoretical advantages, the practical challenges, the successes and failures, and ways to improve.Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisThe crime of homicide has long animated academic debate, community concern and political attention. The discussion has often centered on the perceived (in)adequacy of legal responses to homicide, questions of culpability, and divergent representations of victims and offenders. Within this, notions of gender, responsibility and justice are pivotal. This edited collection builds on existing scholarship by examining these concerns not only in the context of the private' world of domestic murder but also in the more public' world of the state, the corporation, war, and genocide. In so doing this book draws from key frameworks of criminological thought, legal analysis and empirical evidence to critically examine the relationship between homicide, gender and responsibility. Bringing together leading international criminology and legal scholars, this collection provides a unique contribution to the academic and policy engagement with what is, more often than not, an ordinary and munTrade ReviewThis collection of illuminating and provocative essays explicitly engages with the ways notions about gender and responsibility are deeply implicated in understandings of myriad forms of lethal violence, from the violence of individual actors to the violence of the state. Implicitly, these analyses also reveal how our understandings of lethal violence shape constructions of gender and criminal responsibility; and they require us to consider the violence of legal interpretation in both its productive and destructive forms. The international and interdisciplinary scope is impressive, informative, and imperative.—Professor Rosemary Gartner, Centre for Criminology and Sociolegal Studies, University of Toronto, CanadaIn conclusion, Homicide, Gender and Responsibility offers an original perspective on various representations of responsibility in legal responses to homicide, though the role of gender is not emphasized in each chapter as much as the title of the collection would suggest. Every chapter uses a different conceptual and methodological approach to examine a different context in which lethal violence occurs, and the book appears as a collection of different papers which can be consulted separately depending on one's need. However, as a collection, this book could constitute a useful source for graduate students, as it provides new insights on the concept of responsibility and the blurred border between murder and manslaughter - as well as for scholars, as it provides stimulating cues for future research in these neglected approaches to lethal violence.— Eleonora Rossi and Marieke Liem, Violence Research Intiative, Leiden University, Criminal Law and Criminal Justice BooksTable of ContentsIntroduction: Homicide, Gender and Responsibility Part I: Making Sense of the Boundaries between Homicide, Gender and Responsibility 1.

Book SynopsisDisrupting the cycle starts with you. No matter how conscientious we are, we carry implicit bias… which quickly turns into assumptions and then labels. Labels define our interactions with and expectations of students. Labels contribute to student identity and agency. And labels can have a negative effect beyond the classroom. It’s crucial, then, that teachers remove labels and focus on students’ strengths—but this takes real work at an individual, classroom, and schoolwide scale. Removing Labels urges you to take an active approach toward disrupting the negative effects of labels and assumptions that interfere with student learning. This book offers: 40 practical, replicable teaching techniques—all based in research and best practice—that focus on building relationships, restructuring classroom engagement and management, and understanding the power of social and emotional learning Suggestions for actions on an individual, classroom, and schoolwide level Ready-to-go tools and student-facing printables to use in planning and instruction Removing Labels is more than a collection of teaching strategies—it’s a commitment to providing truly responsive education that serves all children. When you and your colleagues take action to prevent negative labels from taking hold, the whole community benefits.Table of ContentsForeword Publisher’s Acknowledgments Introduction: Interrupting the Cycle Begins With You Section 1.

Book SynopsisWith a Foreword by the South African Minister of Water Affairs and Forestry, Kader Asmal. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), established in South Africa after the collapse of apartheid, was the bold creation of a people committed to the task of rebuilding of a nation and establishing a society founded upon justice, equality and respect for the rule of law. As part of its historic, cathartic, mission, the TRC held a special hearing, calling to account the lawyers - judges, academics and members of the bar -who had been crucial participants in the apartheid legal order. This book is an account of those hearings, and an attempt to evaluate, in the light of theories of adjudication, the historical role of the judiciary and bar in the apartheid years. This book offers us the spectacle of an entire legal system on trial. The echoes from this process are captured here in a way which will appeal to all readers, lawyers and non-lawyers alike, interested in the relationship between law and justice, as it is exposed during a period of transition to democracy. "...an excellent commentary on a crucial period...a clear, concise and thorough analysis...This book should be required reading for anyone with a concern for the relationship between law and justice. .." -Paul Williams (Journal of Modern African Studies) "a sustained reflection on questions of complicity, on the politics of the Rule of Law, and on the relation between law and justice. It presents a forceful case for an 'inner morality' not just of law, but of the citizenry's attitude towards that law". -Scott Veitch (Res Publica) "The Truth and Reconciliation Hearings, as rendered in Professor Dyzenhaus' book, capture the misery and suffering of a nation. Sometimes almost unbearable to read, it is a fascinating account of the human dimensions of law's effect...the book is as much about hope as it is about pain. Judging the Judges, Judging Ourselves is singularly effective in combining a scholarly dissection of legal issues with an underlying, passionate quest for justice. To this reader at least, it was a page-turner" -Vivian Grosswald Curran (Alberta Law Review) "...an excellent book for at least three reasons. First, it is a critically engaged, firsthand account of a unique legal and political event...Second, it develops an extended argument for a challengingly normative conception of the rule of law. And third, the book is well written and a pleasure to read." -Michael Milde (Canadian Journal of Law and Jurisprudence) "Dyzenhaus's sophisticated treatment...may yet serve as a benchmark statement in future debates, whether or not one agrees with its philosophical point of departure." -Aletta J. Norval (Constellations) "As legal fora increasingly lose direct state-related implementation power as a result of globalization and regionalization, judges will need to consider methods that pursue civil and social justice when actual implementation is likely to be imperfect or ineffectual. Judging the Judges, Judging Ourselves is an excellent contribution to considerations of this historical dilemma." -John P. McCormick (New York University Journal of Law and Social Change) "...the author subjects to sustained critical analysis fundamental concepts, such as judicial independence, parliamentary sovereignty and the rule of law, which go to the very heart of the judicial function...This is a splendid book." -The Hon Sir Anthony Mason "Judging the Judges, Judging Ourselves underscores the imperative that, as the idea of equal citizenship takes root in the new South Africa, the links between social justice and procedural morality should be forged rather than assumed." -Christine Sypnowich (Oxford Journal of Legal Studies)Trade ReviewThrough his close scrutiny of the Legal Hearing of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Dyzenhaus renders notable service as an historian and philosopher of law. His book becomes an intentional part of the work of the tribunal and an enduring part of the archive in the 'struggle against forgetting' (p.182). His admonitions and arguments about law help us to understand possibilities and pitfalls of the ongoing work of democratic law in all societies. Peter d'Errico The Law and Politics Book Review June 2004 ...provides an excellent commentary on a crucial period of the TRC's investigations designed to highlight the unavoidable connections between philosophy, law and politics...a clear, concise and thorough analysis...This book should be required reading for anyone with a concern for the relationship between law and justice as well as those with a specific interest in the particularities of the South African transition. Paul Williams Journal of Modern African Studies June 2002 The Truth and Reconciliation Hearings, as rendered in Professor Dyzenhaus book, capture the misery and suffering of nation. Sometimes almost unbearable to read, it is a fascinating account of the human dimensions of laws effect, an illustration of Robert Covers thesis that law does not merely perpetrate and depend on violence, but that it is violence. Professor Dyzenhaus argues that law also can offer the promise of justice. In this respect, the book is as much about hope as it is about painJudging the Judges, Judging Ourselves is singularly effective in combining a scholarly dissection of legal issues with an underlying, passionate quest for justice. To this reader at least, it was a page-tuner, as the author alternated among legal theory, argument and testimony. In the context of the voices of the dispossessed, quoted word for word, no doubt can remain as to why the questions this book poses are vital, or as to whether we need be concerned with trying to formulate and articulate the theoretical underpinnings of judicial systems and the appropriate conduct of judges. Vivian Grosswald Curran Alberta Law Review September 2002 Judging the Judges, Judging ourselves is an excellent book for at least three reasons. First, it is a critically engaged, firsthand account of a unique legal and political event: the inquiry by South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission into the operation of that country's legal system under Apartheid. Second, it develops an extended argument for a challengingly normative conception of the rule of law, complete with compelling practical illustrations of what can happen if officials charged with maintaining the integrity of a legal system adopt a less substantive standard. And third, the book is well written and a pleasure to read. Michael Milde Canadian Journal of Law and Jurisprudence September 2002 ...a sustained reflection on questions of complicity, on the politics of the Rule of Law, and on the relation between law and justice. In the argument's unfolding it comes to be a challenge not only to South African lawyers' self-understanding of their past roles and present and future commitments, but also to lawyers and western legal systems more generally. It presents a forceful case for an 'inner morality' not just of law, but of the citizenry's attitude towards that law. Scott Veitch Res Publica September 2002 ...the author subjects to sustained critical analysis fundamental concepts, such as judicial independence, parliamentary sovereignty and the rule of law, which go to the very heart of the judicial functionThis is a splendid book.

Book SynopsisMedical law is concerned with our bodies, and what happens to them during and after our lives. When things go wrong with our bodies, we want to know what our rights are, and what governs the conduct of the clinicians into whose hands we put our lives and limbs. Dealing with matters of life and death, it can therefore have a fundamental impact on medical practice. Headlines in the media often involve the core issues of medical law - organ transplantation, abortion, withdrawal of treatment, euthanasia, confidentiality, research on humans - these are topics that affect us all. Headlines can misrepresent, however. In order to fully understand the issues and their relevance, we have to delve into the cases and into the principles behind them. In this highly readable Very Short Introduction, Charles Foster explores different examples to illustrate the key problems and principles of medical law.

Book SynopsisCovering the earliest Sanskrit rulebooks through to the codification of 'Hindu law' in modern times, this interdisciplinary volume examines the interactions between Hinduism and the law. The authors present the major transformations to India's legal system in both the colonial and post colonial periods and their relation to recent changes in Hinduism. Thematic studies show how law and Hinduism relate and interact in areas such as ritual, logic, politics, and literature, offering a broad coverage of South Asia's contributions to religion and law at the intersection of society, politics and culture. In doing so, the authors build on previous treatments of Hindu law as a purely text-based tradition, and in the process, provide a fascinating account of an often neglected social and political history.Trade Review'[This] book has established connections between bodies of knowledge that were hitherto unconnected and, thereby, initiated a discourse in which all scholars of the polity and the law should be engaged.'

Book SynopsisThe visual arts offer refreshing and novel resources through which to understand the representation, power, ideology and critique of law. This vibrantly interdisciplinary book brings the burgeoning field to a new maturity through extended close readings of major works by artists from Pieter Bruegel and Gustav Klimt to Gordon Bennett and Rafael Cauduro. At each point, the author puts these works of art into a complex dance with legal and social history, and with recent developments in legal and art theory. Manderson uses the idea of time and temporality as a focal point through which to explore how the work of art engages with and constitutes law and human lives. In the symmetries and asymmetries caused by the vibrating harmonic resonances of these triple forces - time, law, art - lies a way of not only understanding the world, but also transforming it.Trade Review'This book dances indeed. Moving deftly from one angle of the triangle of time, law, and art, to the other, this book shows - through a great variety of artworks, all taken up in detail - the complexities and the consequences of these pluralities. There is no other book which does this in such depth in all three fields. We know that law does not equal justice, that the line between law and genocide is flint-thin, and that the time of the clock is very different from the temporalities we experience. That law's dance has death at its heart is a fact of life, but that so many artists in so many different cultural places and moments have been able to make this sensuously perceptible and deploy it as a cry for a justice that is, precisely, not blind: this is what Manderson demonstrates in this utterly enjoyable book.' Mieke Bal, Cultural theorist, critic, video artist and curator'Quondam musician and part-time playwright, full-time jurist, artisan and aesthete, Manderson extracts, expounds and exemplifies the reinvention and relocation of law in its artistic context. Danse Macabre bravely overcomes the jurist's twin fears: of the image, and of theory. This book brilliantly interprets the art that surrounds law as a compelling narrative of justice and of failing legality.' Peter Goodrich, Director of Law and Humanities, Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, Yeshiva University, New York'Drawing on recent psychoanalytical, hermeneutic and phenomenological approaches to the histories of art, Manderson weaves a history of the law from 1500 to the present day - a history that neither progresses nor unravels but keeps returning to the archetypal, indeed holy, trinity of law, death and time, which he argues inhabits and manifests in art. Through a close and extended reading of his chosen artworks, and through the innovative methodologies he uses to unpack them, Manderson's chapters build like symphonic movements into a veritable masterclass in the historiography of art. Art, Manderson argues, cannot escape the deathly grip of the law and its temporality - a grip, he argues, that will always entice and elude us.'

Book SynopsisThis book on constructing a legal right to housing in India seeks to achieve three ends: first, examine the costs incurred in translating a moral right into the language of the law; second, unpack the ways in which existing law and policy impact the realisation of the right to housing and situate any attempt to legally guarantee the right within this context; and finally, begin thinking through the many complexities that will arise should the right be articulated within the law. A comprehensive chronology of central housing law and policy provides the descriptive background for this analytical text, while also acting as a rich introductory resource on the subject. Asserting a need as a right and then seeking legislative recognition for the right is a formula often used in rights struggles. This book takes a critical look at this process, in order to facilitate informed engagement with the law.Table of ContentsForeword; Acknowledgements; List of Abbreviations; List of Cases; List of Statutes; Introduction; 1.

Book SynopsisThe early Supreme Court justices wrestled with how much press and speech is protected by freedoms of press and speech, before and under the First Amendment, and with whether the Sedition Act of 1798 violated those freedoms. This book discusses the twelve Supreme Court justices before John Marshall, their views of liberties of press and speech, and the Sedition Act prosecutions over which some of them presided. The book begins with the views of the pre-Marshall justices about freedoms of press and speech, before the struggle over the Sedition Act. It finds that their understanding was strikingly more expansive than the narrow definition of Sir William Blackstone, which is usually assumed to have dominated the period. Not one justice of the Supreme Court adopted that narrow definition before 1798, and all expressed strong commitments to those freedoms. The book then discusses the views of the early Supreme Court justices about freedoms of press and speech during the national controversy over the Sedition Act of 1798 and its constitutionality. It finds that, though several of the justices presided over Sedition Act trials, the early justices divided almost evenly over that issue with an unrecognized half opposing its constitutionality, rather than unanimously supporting the Act as is generally assumed. The book similarly reassesses the Federalist party itself, and finds that an unrecognized minority also challenged the constitutionality of the Sedition Act and the narrow Blackstone approach during 1798-1801, and that an unrecognized minority of the other states did as well in considering the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions. The book summarizes the recognized fourteen prosecutions of newspaper editors and other opposition members under the Sedition Act of 1798. It sheds new light on the recognized cases by identifying and confirming twenty-two additional Sedition Act prosecutions. At each of these steps, this book challenges conventional views in existing histories of the early republic and of the early Supreme Court justices.Trade Review[Bird's] book provides an important corrective to misinformation or missing information about this important period in First Amendment history. * Journal of Interdisciplinary History *Table of ContentsTable of Contents PREFACE ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ABBREVIATIONS INTRODUCTION CHAPTER 1 THE RIGHT TO DISSENT, AND THE GROWTH OF FREEDOMS OF PRESS AND SPEECH IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY CHAPTER 2 THE CRIME OF SEDITIOUS LIBEL, AND ENGLAND'S LIMITATION OF FREEDOMS OF PRESS AND SPEECH CHAPTER 3 THE COLLISION OF SEDITIOUS LIBEL AND FREEDOMS OF PRESS AND SPEECH IN AMERICA'S CONSTITUTIONAL PERIOD CHAPTER 4 THE INITIAL SUPREME COURT JUSTICES AND THEIR VIEWS ON FREEDOMS OF PRESS AND SPEECH CHAPTER 5 THE SUCCESSOR SUPREME COURT JUSTICES AND THEIR VIEWS ON FREEDOMS OF PRESS AND SPEECH CHAPTER 6 THE SEDITION ACT AND THE ASSAULT ON FREEDOMS OF PRESS AND SPEECH: THE SITTING SUPREME COURT JUSTICES AND THE TRIALS CHAPTER 7 THE SEDITION ACT AND THE ASSAULT ON FREEDOMS OF PRESS AND SPEECH: THE MISSING HALF OF THE SEDITION ACT CASES CHAPTER 8 THE SEDITION ACT AND THE ASSAULT ON FREEDOMS OF PRESS AND SPEECH: THE REMAINING SUPREME COURT JUSTICES ON THE SEDITION ACT Chapter 9 THE FEDERALIST JUSTICES AND THE REPUBLICAN CRITICS: HISTORICAL MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT FREEDOM INDEX
