Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suitable for the American law school classroom or self-study, this book is about the criminal attorney-what the federal Constitution says prosecutors and defense attorneys can and cannot do in the adjudication of crime. It is also critically about what those actors _ought_ to do in the adjudication of crime. The text proceeds as chronologically as possible through the process of a prosecution, beginning with pretrial release and the charging decision, considering trial preparation and the right to counsel, turning to the jury and then the defense, stepping back to consider guilty pleas and plea bargaining, and finishing off with double jeopardy and sentencing.

Download or read book Our Constitutional Constraints written by Stephen E Henderson and published by . This book was released on 2019-05-17 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suitable for the American law school classroom or self-study, this book is about the police-what they can and cannot do in the investigation of crime. There are many sources of such rules, from constitutions to laws to internal regulations to officer norms, but this teaches only the top of that pyramid: the restrictions of the United States Constitution. In particular, it examines the Fourth Amendment's protection against unreasonable search and seizure, some of the Fifth Amendment's guarantee of due process and privilege against compulsory self-incrimination, and a bit about the Sixth Amendment's right to counsel. Together, this is much of the constitutional law that prevents our living in a police state: anti-accuracy norms enshrined in our Constitution to protect our liberty, our humanity, and our dignity.This book is therefore also about the people-We the People-and what rights we can expect, and what rights we should expect, as against those who are (or should be) seeking to keep us safe.

Download or read book The Constitution of Equality written by Thomas Christiano and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2010-06-10 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the ethical basis of democracy? And what reasons do we have to go along with democratic decisions even when we disagree with them? And when do we have reason to say that we may justly ignore democratic decisions? These questions must be answered if we are to have answers to some of the most important questions facing our global community, which include whether there is a human right to democracy and whether we must attempt to spread democracy throughout the globe. This book provides a philosophical account of the moral foundations of democracy and of liberalism. It shows how democracy and basic liberal rights are grounded in the principle of public equality, which tells us that in the establishment of law and policy we must treat persons as equals in ways they can see are treating them as equals. The principle of public equality is shown to be the fundamental principle of social justice. This account enables us to understand the nature and roles of adversarial politics and public deliberation in political life. It gives an account of the grounds of the authority of democracy. It also shows when the authority of democracy runs out. The author shows how the violations of democratic and liberal rights are beyond the legitimate authority of democracy, how the creation of persistent minorities in a democratic society, and the failure to ensure a basic minimum for all persons weaken the legitimate authority of democracy.
Download or read book Rationing the Constitution written by Andrew Coan and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Supreme Court is a tiny institution that can resolve only a fraction of the constitutional issues generated by the American government. This simple yet startling fact is impossible to deny, but few students of the Court have seriously considered its implications. In Rationing the Constitution, Andrew Coan explains how the Court's limited capacity shapes U.S. constitutional law and argues that the limits of judicial capacity powerfully constrain Supreme Court decision-making on many of the most important constitutional questions, spanning federalism, separation of powers, and individual rights. Examples include the commerce power, presidential powers, Equal Protection, and regulatory takings. The implications for U.S. constitutional law are profound. Lawyers, academics, and social activists pursuing social reform through the courts must consider whether their goals can be accomplished within the constraints of judicial capacity.--

Download or read book Constitutional Constraints on Ad Hoc Legislation written by Anna Jasiak and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legislatures sometimes adopt laws that create a special legal regime for a particular case, rather than general rules for an indefinite number of situations or persons. These ad hoc laws are controversial. Politically, legislatures may be forced to act in one specific case (for example, as a response to a public outcry), but, in doing so, they risk violating the principles of the rule of law. Such legislative practice might lead to abuse of legislative power, inequality of citizens before the law, legal uncertainty, and weakening of the position of the courts. This in-depth study in the fields of constitutional law and legislative studies clarifies the use and existence of ad hoc laws, placing them within a constitutional framework of the rule of law. The book is a comparative study of the United States, Germany, and the Netherlands. Those who will benefit from this book are academics of constitutional law/legislation/human rights, practitioners of constitutional law, judges from constitutional courts, legislative lawyers, and legislators. It provides innovative and profound insights and will be a valuable addition to library collections. (Series: Ius Commune Europaeum - Vol. 96)

This book was released on 2022-04-12 with total page 1016 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A host of political factors--both internal and external--influence the Court's decisions and shape the development of constitutional law. Among the more significant forces at work are the ways lawyers and interest groups frame legal disputes, the ideological and behavioral propensities of the justices, the politics of judicial selection, public opinion, and the positions that elected officials take, to name just a few. Combining lessons of the legal model with the influences of the political process, Constitutional Law for a Changing America shows how these dynamics shape the development of constitutional doctrine.
