MEPRIS, PERVERSION, CORRUPTION

LEUR DEFINITION DANS L'ETAT BELGE ET LES JUSTICES EUROPEENNES

A compelling historical biography that offers an in-depth look at one of Texas' most influential and controversial figures during the tumultuous mid-19th century. This meticulously researched work by John A. Adams, Jr. provides a vivid portrayal of Oran Milo Roberts' life, from his humble beginnings in Alabama to his rise as a prominent jurist and political leader in Texas. The biography expertly weaves Roberts' personal story with the broader historical context of Texas and the nation, shedding light on the motivations and beliefs that drove Roberts and many of his contemporaries. It provides a nuanced understanding of the complex social, political, and economic forces that shaped the state's development and skillfully examines Roberts' evolving political views, particularly his staunch advocacy for states' rights and his eventual embrace of secession. Adams' engaging narrative style brings historical figures to life, offering readers a front-row seat to the debates and decisions that shaped Texas history. The Old Alcalde is essential reading for scholars of Texas history, Civil War enthusiasts, and anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics that led to the secession of Texas from the Union.

Life and Times of a Texas Fire-Eater, Oran Milo Roberts

The Old Alcalde

The first-ever biography of the most pivotal Justice on the Supreme Court whose decisions, like the overturning of Roe, will drive the reshaping of America, by prize-winning journalist Peter Canellos. When the Supreme Court handed down its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson, the landmark case overturning Roe v. Wade, it marked a turning point in the lives of millions of Americans. It was also the culmination of a decades-long movement whose grievances were embodied by the man who wrote the court’s opinion: Samuel Anthony Alito Jr. Steely in his demeanor, with an impassive appearance that defies changing fashions, Alito could be the family lawyer in a 1960s television drama. But when he talks there is an emotional undercurrent, a fast-flowing stream beneath a placid surface. This is a man driven to push boundaries and mold ideas. His aim is to right the wrongs of the past six decades, as he saw them. He was the prized son of an Italian-born father and a mother whose parents emigrated from Italy shortly before her birth, worked their way into the middle class despite anti-Catholic prejudice and humiliating setbacks like evictions, and exacting big achievement demands of their children. But his family’s values came under attack during the sixties and later when Alito was at Princeton as the Vietnam war raged, women demanded equality, and their brand of patriotism was devalued. The Federalist Society provided a safe space for Alito and those like him, and he moved fast up the judicial ladder to eventually land on the Supreme Court. There he has been aggressive in pushing the law in new, conservative directions—from pushing for expanding rights for the religious conservatives, overturning affirmative action, extending the right to bear arms to thwart gun controls, and reducing the power of the Environmental Protection Agency. And finally—most crucial to his legacy—he was the author of Dobbs v. Jackson, bringing the conservative legal movement full circle in overruling Roe v. Wade. His ethnic and religious background, his intellectual confidence, and his unyielding determination are all illustrative of a group of men and women who, beset by grievance, embarked on a decades-long mission to change the rules that govern society.

Sam Alito and the Triumph of the Conservative Legal Movement

Revenge for the Sixties

A leading New York lawyer reveals his journey to professional success. Mark C. Zauderer gave up a budding career as a rock and roll disc jockey and became a high-profile lawyer. Fifty years later, he has represented clients in some of the most contentious litigations in US history and has become a recognized media guest, appearing on MSNBC, CNBC, ABC, NBC, PBS, and Fox Business and providing legal commentary in major print media. In Counsel, the Courtroom Is Open, Mark takes the reader behind the scenes of high-profile lawsuits and reveals the strategies that won him tough cases at trials and on appeals. He shares the wit, wisdom, and wonder of his unexpected path into the legal profession and the creativity that fueled his ascent. To aspiring entrepreneurs, whether they’re lawyers or inventors or just kids with a dream, Mark says: With a little confidence, you can do this, too. Long before he became a go-to source for media commentary on high profile trials, ranging from Donald Trump to Sean Combs—including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Reuters, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, and The Los Angeles Times – Zauderer started out working through the Vietnam War era, three high profile assassinations, the Kent State shootings, and the Cambodia invasion. Beginning his legal career as a law clerk to a federal judge and then as a junior attorney at a major law firm, he later joined several other lawyers willing to take a chance and founded a highly successful, entrepreneurial law firm. Over fifty years, the author has represented well-known individuals and businesses in some of the most significant litigations in the United States. Over the span of a decade, he was also the subject of nine half-hour interviews on PBS television. His path to success is a guide for all professionals with aspirations of “doing it on your own.”

Lessons from More Than a Half-Century in Law and Life

Counsel, the Courtroom Is Open

"What the Judge Thought" is a compelling collection of essays and reflections by the esteemed British jurist Edward Abbott Parry. In this work, Parry masterfully combines legal scholarship with a sharp, engaging wit to explore the complexities of the law, the character of the judiciary, and the compelling human narratives found within historical legal proceedings. The book features insightful biographical sketches of notable figures such as Abraham Lincoln, William Henry Seward, and Roger Casement, offering unique perspectives on their contributions to the legal landscape.Moving beyond mere biography, Parry examines broader themes of justice, the ethical responsibilities of the legal profession, and the structural evolution of the British courts. His writing is characterized by an accessible yet sophisticated style that bridges the gap between professional legal analysis and general interest. By providing a glimpse into the mindset of a seasoned judge, "What the Judge Thought" serves as both a valuable historical document and a timeless commentary on the pursuit of justice.

What the Judge Thought

Behind every courtroom trial is a judge tasked with making a life-altering decision--this is their "engaging and bracingly honest" (National Catholic Reporter) side of the story "Provides an invaluable public service, as the judicial branch is perpetually shrouded in mystery."--Justin Driver, The Washington Post Prosecutors and defense attorneys have it easy--all they have to do is to present the evidence and make arguments. It's the judges who have the heavy lift: they are the ones who have to make the ultimate decisions, many of which have profound consequences on the lives of the people standing in front of them. In Tough Cases, called "powerful collection of inside information about some of the most interesting and high-proﬁle cases of our times" by former prosecutor Paul Butler, a remarkable group of judges--from family court to tribal court to the federal bench--pull back the curtain on the most challenging cases of their careers, sharing what it means to bear the weight of justice in cases that shape lives and ignite national debate. These "hard-to-put-down" (starred Library Journal) narratives include landmark rulings such as the Elián González custody case, the emotionally charged Terri Schiavo right-to-die battle, and the prosecution of Scooter Libby. Others unfold far from the public eye but are no less consequential: a tribal court judge navigating cultural tensions, a newly appointed jurist grappling with identity and authority, and a chilling case involving a mother who killed her own children. Relatively few judges have publicly shared the thought processes behind their decision making. Tough Cases makes for "unprecedented" (Greta van Susteren) reading for everyone from armchair attorneys and fans of Law and Order to those actively involved in the legal profession who want insight into the people judging their work.

Judges Tell the Stories of Some of the Hardest Decisions They've Ever Made

Tough Cases

WINNER of 75th Nation­al Jew­ish Book Award: Biography Finalist for the Dayton Literary Peace Prize 2026 'FIVE STARS ... Magnificent' Telegraph 'Compulsively readable' Financial Times 'Gripping and timely' The Times 'Crackingly told' Philippe Sands 'A kind of masterclass' Sebastian Junger THE NEW BOOK FROM THE BESTSELLING, COSTA PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF THE VOLUNTEER The true story of a Jewish lawyer who returned to Germany after WWII to prosecute war crimes, only to find himself pitted against a nation determined to bury the past. At the end of the Nuremberg trial in 1946, some of the greatest war criminals in history were sentenced to death, but hundreds of thousands of Nazi murderers and collaborators remained at large. The Allies were ready to overlook their pasts as the Cold War began, and the horrors of the Holocaust were in danger of being forgotten. In The Prosecutor, Jack Fairweather brings to life the remarkable story of Fritz Bauer, a gay German Jew who survived the Nazis and made it his mission to force his countrymen to confront their complicity in the genocide. In this deeply researched book, Fairweather draws on unpublished family papers, newly declassified German records, and exclusive interviews to immerse readers in the dark, unfamiliar world of postwar West Germany where those who implemented genocide run the country, the CIA is funding Hitler's former spy-ring in the east, and Nazi-era anti-gay laws are strictly enforced. But once Bauer lands on the trail of Adolf Eichmann, he won't be intimidated. His journey takes him deep into the rotten heart of West Germany, where his fight for justice will set him against his own government and a network of former Nazis and spies determined to silence him. In a time when the history of the Holocaust is taken for granted, The Prosecutor reveals the courtroom battles that were fought to establish its legacy and the personal cost of speaking out. The result is a searing portrait of a nation emerging from the ruins of fascism and one man's courage in forcing his people--and the world--to face the truth.

One Man’s Battle to Bring Nazis to Justice

The Story of My Life

The story of Florence Allen, the first woman judge in the United States, and women's transformation of the legal system. Florence Allen was the first woman judge many times over--first federal appellate court judge, first elected to a state supreme court, and first shortlisted for the U.S. Supreme Court. During Allen's forty years on the bench, the country swung between progressivism and conservatism, with passage of a constitutional amendment for women's voting rights, two world wars, the Red and Lavender Scares, and the New Deal.Amid these changes, women used their new political standing to transform the courts, first by becoming active agents in the justice system, and then by developing theories of public law, social justice, and fair process. Exploring Allen's fascinating legal life, Tracy Thomas recounts the larger history of how women infiltrated the legal system as judges, lawyers, jurors, and legislators to demand a more representative system of justice for the welfare of all.

THE SOLO TRAP

Justice Anthony Kennedy was at the ideological center of a closely divided U.S. Supreme Court for thirty years. Often writing landmark opinions in pivotal cases, he affirmed and redefined liberty for our nation—protecting political speech, upholding a woman’s right to choose, abolishing the death penalty for minors, and legalizing gay marriage. How did a devout Catholic, conservative in both temperament and politics, and a 1988 Reagan appointee to the Court, end up delivering some of the most consequential decisions of our time? To understand Anthony Kennedy is to know that, for him, judging is independent of personal politics, preferences, and religious beliefs. His conviction that legal decisions must be driven by neutral principles led him to rulings that were both celebrated and criticized across political lines. He was sometimes called a “swing vote,” but the term misunderstands his approach. In Justice Kennedy’s own words, “The cases swing, I don’t.” In Life, Law &amp; Liberty, Kennedy tells his story—filled with personal heartbreak and incredible accomplishment—and reflects on the nuanced role of a judge. A product of the American West, he became a deeply principled guardian of the justice, fairness, and liberty our Constitution guarantees. The last justice to be unanimously confirmed to the Court, Justice Anthony Kennedy shows us that thoughtful, respectful discourse is necessary in these otherwise fractious times. Tracing a journey that includes a half century of service to our nation, Kennedy’s memoir reminds us what it means to live with optimism and decency, and inspires us to cherish our democracy.
