Download or read book The Talmudic Rule Against Self Incrimination and the American Exclusionary Rule written by Suzanne Darrow Kleinhaus and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Justice Brennan recognized the inherent tension in American society between individual liberties and community safety and the concomitant need to be vigilant in protecting the rights of the individual from the power of the government. He found such protection in the Exclusionary Rule to the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments. But this protection was far from absolute. Rather, it was subject to numerous exceptions and with each exception, the protection it afforded the individual was in danger of further erosion. In contrast, Jewish law would seem to provide just such an absolute protection. Where what is lacking in American law is a coherent approach that affords consistent protection to the individual from the state, at least in the exercise of its law enforcement powers in seeking a confession of guilt, “[t]he Talmudic rule against confessions, with its . . . absolute bar in all criminal (and quasi-criminal) cases, . . .” would appear to provide “just such a unitary approach.”Is it possible, therefore, to conceive of the Talmudic rule against self-incrimination as the ultimate “Exclusionary Rule?” Would Justice Brennan consider it a true safeguard of individual liberty against the power of the State? Or is the Talmudic prohibition really the tool of the society to be used to protect it from the transgressions of the individual?

Download or read book Faith and Law written by Robert F. Cochran and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between religion and the law is a hot-button topic in America, with the courts, Congress, journalists, and others engaging in animated debates on what influence, if any, the former should have on the latter. Many of these discussions are dominated by the legal perspective, which views religion as a threat to the law; it is rare to hear how various religions in America view American law, even though most religions have distinct views on law. In Faith and Law, legal scholars from sixteen different religious traditions contend that religious discourse has an important function in the making, practice, and adjudication of American law, not least because our laws rest upon a framework of religious values. The book includes faiths that have traditionally had an impact on American law, as well as new immigrant faiths that are likely to have a growing influence. Each contributor describes how his or her tradition views law and addresses one legal issue from that perspective. Topics include abortion, gay rights, euthanasia, immigrant rights, and blasphemy and free speech.

Download or read book Jewish Law Mishpat Ivri written by Menachem Elon and published by LexisNexis/Matthew Bender. This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first and only casebook on the subject in English, Jewish Law provides insight into a legal system with a long and rich tradition, addressing issues that are relevant today in American law. Its primary focus is on the legal aspects of Jewish law, with emphasis on its historical development. The quoted materials originate from a wide variety of sources, from the Torah and rabbinic responsa, to modern authorities and court opinions written by Justice Elon while serving as a Justice and Deputy President of the Supreme Court of Israel. Jewish Law encompasses a broad spectrum of subjects, and in sufficient depth that professors can adapt the materials to their individual teaching methods. By combining jurisprudence, comparative law, and practical law in one clear and concise text, this casebook provides background and perspective for students as well as practitioners. It contrasts the treatment of various topics in Jewish law with the approaches taken by other legal systems, such as American, English, and modern Israeli, thereby offering new insights. The translations from Hebrew to English preserve the original flavor of the Hebrew text. Justice Elon is a legendary figure in Jewish law. He founded and headed the Institute for Research in Jewish Law at the Hebrew University. He was consulted by the Israeli legislature regarding Jewish law issues during the codification of Israeli Civil Law and served as a member of legislative committees. His three-volume treatise, Jewish Law: Ha-Mishpat Ha-Ivri, has become a classic work on the subject in Israel. As a law professor for over 30 years and an ordained rabbi, Justice Elon brings his teaching expertise to this text. His co-authors are also noted and distinguished legal scholars and practitioners, and were the translators of Justice Elon's treatise, Jewish Law (Ha-Mishpat Ha-Ivri), into English.
