Nelson J: A Prospectus Of The Scientific
Study Of The Hindu Law (1881)

A Prospectus Of The Scientific Study Of The Hindu Law (1881)

"Powerfully insightful reading." —Kirkus Reviews How would you like to be judged for the rest of your life by the worst thing you’ve ever done? We all think we are compassionate just like we all think we are honest.&nbsp; But true compassion is not innate. Compassion for others, especially those that we don’t know or understand, must be learned. Our lack of compassion is perhaps most extreme in the exercise of criminal justice, where a person’s entire life, worth, and character are judged through the myopic lens of a single act. But no one, says Robin Steinberg, should be reduced to their worst moment.&nbsp; From the founder and CEO of The Bail Project, The Courage of Compassion unveils&nbsp;how we can reimagine justice through compassion.&nbsp;Steinberg shares her journey as a public defender, representing people at precisely that time in their lives — their own worst moment. She recounts the heart-wrenching stories of her clients and invites us to interrogate our fears and beliefs about justice and punishment. Lastly, Steinberg reveals moments when she questioned her own capacity for compassion, as well as her ability to fight for better, more humane justice from within a system that is riddled with holes and seemingly interminable problems.&nbsp; A gritty tale about confronting injustice and challenging ourselves to rediscover our shared humanity, The Courage of Compassion is an invitation to join Steinberg as she explores what it will take to move beyond our current justice paradigm. The criminal justice system reflects a history and power structure, but it also mirrors how we come into society and show up for one another. As she writes, the quest to improve this system will only truly begin “when we can finally see in the faces of those ensnared and imprisoned in our legal system, ourselves. And when we can see our children, in their children.”

Where the Rich Own the Truth

Cuckooland

Cultures juridiques et politiques

Eurasia is neither a juxtaposition of sub-regions - Central Asia, West Europe, East Asia - nor a single, coherent legal system. It mixes sui generis evolutions and mutual influences of its constituent systems. The period of Eurasian countries going their own, national(ist) way in building a legal system (Europe before 1950, Central Asia under Soviet rule, East Asia in colonialisms) has yielded to one when no 'universal' system applies. Regional mechanisms are mutually inspired, for instance the EU and the EAEU; or the OSCE and the CICA.
Chapters are by scholars based in Korea, Kazakhstan, France, China, Russia and Spain. Each sub-region is analysed through a 'main' reference (Kazakhstan, France, Korea) and a 'complementary model' (Russia, China, Spain), within the context of institutional region-building.C
Two factors accelerate change in Eurasian legal systems: national/regional experiences and evolutions influence each other; the world context (crises, sanctions, wars, trade diplomacy...) push even further : no country (or region) can in isolation devise legal solutions to these challenges.

Eurasian Legal Systems in a World in Transition

NomosTextbook

The Northern European countries are stable democracies; they are regarded as classic consensus democracies and the Scandinavian welfare model is much admired. What is the basis for these judgements? How do the political systems of the three monarchies of Denmark, Sweden and Norway, the two republics of Finland and Iceland, the autonomous territories of Greenland, the Faroe Islands, the Åland Islands and the institutions of the Sápmi region work? This study focuses on parliamentarism, elections, parties, governments, administrations, legal systems and the countries' cultural and historical roots. It is aimed at students of the social sciences as well as teachers and all those interested in Northern European politics and society.

The editors
Bernd Henningsen is em. Professor for Culture and Politics of Northern Europe and Honorary Professor at the Humboldt-University Berlin, Germany.
Sven Jochem is Professor of Political Science at the University of Konstanz, Germany.

The political systems of Northern Europe

A Nora Carleton Legal Thriller

'The plot goes like a train . . . vivid and compelling' Ian Rankin

One chance to crack the case. A million ways to lose.

Federal prosecutor Nora Carleton has spent years building a case against a powerful New York mobster. She finally has a star witness whose testimony will lock the defendant away for good.

But the courtroom is an unpredictable place. While the killing of a disgraced former governor appears unconnected to the trial, the fallout from his death means a guilty verdict hangs in the balance. 

Desperate to stop the mobster walking free, Nora investigates the darker side of the city to find out how everything connects. The more she uncovers, the deeper the corruption runs. And Nora knows better than most that the truth is a fragile thing - especially in court.

Drawing on James Comey's thirty years in federal law enforcement, Central Park West is a fast-paced thriller, bursting with tension and authenticity - perfect for fans of John Grisham.

How to Transform Your Legal Practice for Self, Client, and Community Growth

Becoming a Restorative Lawyer

A "searing, searching, and eloquent" (Martha Minow, Harvard Law School) investigation into the role of the legal profession in perpetuating mass incarceration--now in an accessible paperback format from the award-winning civil rights lawyer "Usual Cruelty cuts to the core of what is critical to understand about our legal system, and about ourselves." --Anthony D. Romero, executive director, ACLU Usual Cruelty is a radical reconsideration of the American "injustice system" by someone who is actively--and successfully--challenging it. Hailed as a "fiery indictment" (Publishers Weekly) as well as a "compelling and damning argument" (Slate), Usual Cruelty offers a paradigm-shifting look at our legal system and the central role lawyers play in the "punishment bureaucracy." "Passionately argued" (The New Yorker), the book explores the viciousness of our courts, prisons, and jails, and the ways in which the legal profession has allowed itself to become desensitized to the pain these institutions inflict on our most vulnerable populations. Now in an accessible paperback format, Usual Cruelty will cement Karakatsanis's reputation as one of the most inspiring civil rights leaders of our time.

A “searing, searching, and eloquent” (Martha Minow, Harvard Law School) investigation into the role of the legal profession in perpetuating mass incarceration—now in an accessible paperback format from the award-winning civil rights lawyer

 Alec Karakatsanis doesn’t think people who have gone to law school, passed the bar, and sworn to uphold the Constitution should be complicit in the mass caging of human beings—an everyday brutality inflicted disproportionately on the bodies and minds of poor people and people of color, for which the legal system has never offered sufficient justification.&nbsp;Usual Cruelty&nbsp;offers a radical reconsideration of the American “injustice system” by someone who is actively—and wildly successfully—challenging it.
 Hailed by luminaries from James Forman Jr. and Vanita Gupta to U.S. Circuit Judge Bernice Donald, and MacArthur Award–winning poet and attorney Reginald Dwayne Betts, Usual Cruelty offers a condemnation of the whole deplorable enterprise, starting with profound questions about the specific things our system chooses to criminalize (marijuana plants, low-level gambling, petty theft) versus those we don’t (tobacco plants, high-level gambling by bankers, massive wage theft by employers). It calls out a bail system that charges people money to go free despite the lack of any evidence this will make them more likely to show up in court or make anybody safer.&nbsp;And it explores the everyday brutality of our courts, prisons, and jails, and the ways in which the legal profession has allowed itself to become desensitized to the everyday pain these institutions inflict on our most vulnerable populations.
 Now in an accessible paperback format, Usual Cruelty will cement Karakatsanis’s reputation as one of the most inspiring civil rights lawyers of our time.

The Complicity of Lawyers in the Criminal Injustice System

Usual Cruelty

If justice is blind, what guides her steps?

Is justice, like beauty, in the eye of the beholder? Are there objective criteria we can apply and if so, to which do we give more weight? What is more important, a fair result or a fair process? What is the relationship between law and justice? How do the stories we tell both reflect and affect our perceptions of justice. 

Using works of literature, scenes from films, and actual cases as springboards for reflection and debate, Perceptions of Justice seeks answers to such questions, offering readers an opportunity to understand how they determine what is fair and just, and why others may see it differently.

Perceptions of Justice

It is a simple story. A 37-year-old man belonging to the Traveller community is shot dead by a special unit of the French police on the family farm where he was hiding since he failed to return to prison after temporary release. The officers claim self-defense. The relatives, present at the scene, contest that claim. A case is opened, and it concludes with a dismissal that is upheld on appeal. Dismayed by these decisions, the family continues the struggle for truth and justice.

Giving each account of the event the same credit, Didier Fassin conducts a counter-investigation, based on the re-examination of all the available details and on the interviews of its protagonists. A critical reflection on the work of police forces, the functioning of the justice system, and the conditions that make such tragedies possible and seldom punished, Death of a Traveller is also an attempt to restore to these marginalized communities what they are usually denied: respectability.
