Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING MICHAEL B. JORDAN AND JAMIE FOXX • A powerful true story about the potential for mercy to redeem us, and a clarion call to fix our broken system of justice—from one of the most brilliant and influential lawyers of our time. “[Bryan Stevenson’s] dedication to fighting for justice and equality has inspired me and many others and made a lasting impact on our country.”—John Legend NAMED ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL BOOKS OF THE DECADE BY CNN • Named One of the Best Books of the Year by The New York Times • The Washington Post • The Boston Globe • The Seattle Times • Esquire • Time Bryan Stevenson was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending those most desperate and in need: the poor, the wrongly condemned, and women and children trapped in the farthest reaches of our criminal justice system. One of his first cases was that of Walter McMillian, a young man who was sentenced to die for a notorious murder he insisted he didn’t commit. The case drew Bryan into a tangle of conspiracy, political machination, and legal brinksmanship—and transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever. Just Mercy is at once an unforgettable account of an idealistic, gifted young lawyer’s coming of age, a moving window into the lives of those he has defended, and an inspiring argument for compassion in the pursuit of true justice. Winner of the Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction • Winner of the NAACP Image Award for Nonfiction • Winner of a Books for a Better Life Award • Finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize • Finalist for the Kirkus Reviews Prize • An American Library Association Notable Book “Every bit as moving as To Kill a Mockingbird, and in some ways more so . . . a searing indictment of American criminal justice and a stirring testament to the salvation that fighting for the vulnerable sometimes yields.”—David Cole, The New York Review of Books “Searing, moving . . . Bryan Stevenson may, indeed, be America’s Mandela.”—Nicholas Kristof, The New York Times “You don’t have to read too long to start cheering for this man. . . . The message of this book . . . is that evil can be overcome, a difference can be made. Just Mercy will make you upset and it will make you hopeful.”—Ted Conover, The New York Times Book Review “Inspiring . . . a work of style, substance and clarity . . . Stevenson is not only a great lawyer, he’s also a gifted writer and storyteller.”—The Washington Post “As deeply moving, poignant and powerful a book as has been, and maybe ever can be, written about the death penalty.”—The Financial Times “Brilliant.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer

Download or read book Administrative Law written by Jamelle C Sharpe and published by Aspen Publishing. This book was released on 2024-02-28 with total page 1188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buy a new version of this textbook and receive access to the Connected eBook with Study Center on Casebook Connect, including lifetime access to the online ebook with highlight, annotation, and search capabilities. Access also includes practice questions, an outline tool, and other helpful resources. Connected eBooks provide what you need most to be successful in your law school classes. Through thoughtful organization, careful material selection, and hundreds of practice questions, Administrative Law: A Lifecycle Approach, by Dean Jamelle C. Sharpe, trains students to thoroughly understand the law and theory underpinning the modern administrative state. At its core, administrative law is a process-driven course. Nevertheless, traditional casebooks are organized around legal concepts and doctrines rather than the basic stages of administrative decision-making. This casebook improves on the traditional model by following the major steps in the administrative process, thereby providing students with ample grounding in the law and practice governing it. In addition to featuring seminal administrative law decisions, Administrative Law: A Lifecycle Approach incorporates a variety of agency-oriented materials--government reports, charts, diagrams, orders--that give students a fuller sense of how the administrative state's organization and operations. These carefully edited materials model how skilled jurists and administrative lawyers go about their work, how legal problems with that work arise, and how administrative, judicial, and political processes have developed to address them. Critically, this casebook also provides numerous opportunities for guided review, synthesis, analysis, and application of salient legal concepts to facilitate student learning. Dozens of questions, as many or more than any other casebook on the market, place students in the position of lawyers tasked with navigating the administrative landscape. New to the Second Edition: Updated cases. Updated developments in regulatory policy and practices. Professors and students will benefit from: In comparison with casebooks that focus almost exclusively on appellate decisions from Article III courts, this book emphasizes the lifecycle of the administrative decision-making process to place the legal doctrines typically covered by the administrative law course in a clearer practical context. Examples of agency work product and descriptions of agency organization and operations are strategically placed throughout the book. The book also provides explanatory introductions to most topics and describes basic and recurring fact patterns that lawyers encounter when dealing with the issues of administrative law and policy. Most administrative law casebooks are comprised almost entirely of the most unusual or factually complex cases. While there is certainly value in asking students to wrestle with such cases, Administrative Law: A Lifecycle Approach substitutes them for more readily accessible materials of equal or greater instructional value. Where the inclusion of complex cases is unavoidable--as is the case with several seminal decisions-- this casebook provides introductory explanations to give students much needed guidance on their meaning and key concepts. Additionally, Administrative Law: A Lifecycle Approach includes other agency-oriented materials--reports, charts, diagrams, opinions--to give students a fuller, unmediated sense of administrative work product. Administrative Law: A Lifecycle Approach also takes a different approach to questions. The questions in traditional casebooks typically focus on issues that are tangential to the materials they follow, or pinpoint conceptual knots that academics spend their careers attempting to unravel. Inspired by Bloom's Taxonomy, the questions in Administrative Law: A Lifecycle Approach focus instead on testing, reinforcing, and extending students' understanding of the administrative law and concepts featured throughout the book. It accordingly provides numerous problems that prompt students to apply what they have learned and to produce the types of analysis expected of skilled administrative lawyers.

Download or read book The Battle for the Court written by Lawrence Baum and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once largely ignored, judicial elections in the states have become increasingly controversial over the past two decades. Legal organizations, prominent law professors, and a retired Supreme Court justice have advocated the elimination of elections as a means to choose judges. One of their primary concerns is interest group involvement in elections to state supreme courts, which they see as having negative effects on both the courts themselves and public perceptions of these judicial bodies. In The Battle for the Court, Lawrence Baum, David Klein, and Matthew Streb present a systematic investigation into the effects of interest group involvement in the election of judges. Focusing on personal-injury law, the issue that has played the most substantial role in spurring interest group activity in judicial elections, the authors detail how interest groups mobilize in response to unfavorable rulings by state supreme courts, how their efforts influence the outcomes of supreme court elections, and how those outcomes in turn effectively reshape public policies. The authors employ several decades’ worth of new data on campaign activity, voter behavior, and judicial policy-making in one particularly colorful, important, and representative state—Ohio—to explore these connections among interest groups, elections, and judicial policy in a way that has not been possible until now.

Download or read book The Occupation of Justice written by David Kretzmer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-22 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judicial review by Israel's Supreme Court over actions of Israeli authorities in the territories occupied by Israel in 1967 is an important element in Israel's legal and political control of these territories. The Occupation of Justice presents a comprehensive discussion of the Court's decisions in exercising this review. This revised and expanded edition includes updated material and analysis, as well as new chapters. Inter alia, it addresses the Court's approach to its jurisdiction to consider petitions from residents of the Occupied Territories; justiciability of sensitive political issues; application and interpretation of the international law of belligerent occupation in general, and the Fourth Geneva Convention in particular; the relevance of international human rights law and Israeli constitutional law; the rights of Gaza residents after the withdrawal of Israeli forces and settlements from the area; Israeli settlements and settlers; construction of the separation barrier in the West Bank; security measures, including internment, interrogation practices, and punitive house demolitions; and judicial review of hostilities. The study examines the inherent tension involved in judicial review over the actions of authorities in a territory in which the inhabitants are not part of the political community the Court belongs to. It argues that this tension is aggravated in the context of the West Bank by the glaring disparity between the norms of belligerent occupation and the Israeli government's policies. The study shows that while the Court's review has enabled many individuals to receive a remedy, it has largely served to legitimise government policies and practices in the Occupied Territories.
Download or read book The US Supreme Court and the Centralization of Federal Authority written by Michael A. Dichio and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traces the US Supreme Courts effect on federal government growth from the founding era forward. This book explores the US Supreme Courts impact on the constitutional development of the federal government from the founding era forward. The authors research is based on an original database of several hundred landmark decisions compiled from constitutional law casebooks and treatises published between 1822 and 2010. By rigorously and systematically interpreting these decisions, he determines the extent to which the court advanced and consolidated national governing authority. The result is a portrait of how the high court, regardless of constitutional issue and ideology, persistently expanded the reach and scope of the federal government. Dichio takes a fairly unique approach to thinking about the relationship between the US Supreme Court and the development of the American state. Scholars interested in American political development and historical work on the law and the courts should grapple with the evidence on offer here. Keith E. Whittington, coauthor of American Constitutionalism, Second Edition
