Book Synopsis Beyond Elite Law by : Samuel Estreicher
Download or read book Beyond Elite Law written by Samuel Estreicher and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 757 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are Americans making under $50,000 a year compelled to navigate the legal system on their own, or do they simply give up because they cannot afford lawyers? We know anecdotally that Americans of median or lower income generally do without legal representation or resort to a sector of the legal profession that - because of the sheer volume of claims, inadequate training, and other causes - provides deficient representation and advice. This book poses the question: can we - at the current level of resources, both public and private - better address the legal needs of all Americans? Leading judges, researchers, and activists discuss the role of technology, pro bono services, bar association resources, affordable solo and small firm fees, public service internships, and law student and nonlawyer representation.
Book Synopsis Educating Activist Allies by : Katy M. Swalwell
Download or read book Educating Activist Allies written by Katy M. Swalwell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-02 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title 2013! Educating Activist Allies offers a fresh take on critical education studies through an analysis of social justice pedagogy in schools serving communities privileged by race and class. By documenting the practices of socially committed teachers at an urban private academy and a suburban public school, Katy Swalwell helps educators and educational theorists better understand the challenges and opportunities inherent in this work. She also examines how students responded to their teachers’ efforts in ways that both undermined and realized the goals of social justice pedagogy. This analysis serves as the foundation for the development of a curricular framework helping students to foster an "Activist Ally" identity: the skills, knowledge, and dispositions necessary to negotiate privilege in ways that promote justice. Educating Activist Allies provides a powerful introduction to the ways in which social justice curricula can and should be enacted in communities of privilege.

This book was released on 2023-12-25 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the year 2025, four months following the cataclysmic events of Episode Two, a rogue search & recovery operation is carried out by a select faction of Shadow State operatives known as the Storm Renegades commando units. Their objective: locate and retrieve the hidden EJFS strong box, containing a fragment of Vritra’s remains buried at sea. The EJFS founder and chief commander, Khali Mehta Sherpa, remains missing after being captured and imprisoned somewhere in Siberia, Russia. The last person to see Khali was his adoptive son, Singh Puneet Sherpa (a.k.a. Leon Evans), who was contacted by impeached and convicted ex-POTUS Kenneth Hill in a threatening phone call, ending with Singh receiving a media message showing Khali strung, bound, and gagged inside a cargo ship named the Siberia King while en route to Belfast, Northern Ireland. Star EJFS Agent Abhu Dhuval Sandeep (a.k.a. Caleb Porter), now entering his second year since his enlistment into the superagency, supports his grieving best friend as they aim to facilitate the rescue of Khali. Little did they know that Khali is the catalyst to bring about world destruction and extinction to pave the way for the elite tier of society to live a post-apocalyptic life of paradise. Will Abhu, Singh, and the rest of the EJFS find and save Khali and the world before it’s too late? ------ The story opens with a new rogue group of commandos on a search & recovery operation to locate and retrieve the strongbox containing Vritra's relic with assistance from naval officers in the Arctic Ocean. The strongbox containing the lost fragmented vestige was buried at sea to prevent another dragon apocalypse from imperiling the Earth. Newly inaugurated President Wes Grisham and his cabinet work to avert crises involving the EJFS and numerous foreign nationals based in the UK and Russia. Unbeknownst to the Grisham administration, a mole operative was in their midst and awaited the signal to strike at the most opportune moment. ------ The compromised US Secretary of State, Pamela Harsh, routinely abused her authority for personal and political gain. As a rogue government official aligned with what's remaining of The Shadow State, she reformed new factions of the US military by seeking the assistance of Gordon Crowley, a British national leading the Storm Renegades. The nefarious malefactors work with multiple bad actors to subvert the EJFS on all fronts. The decimated Shadow State faction has been continually operating secretly in a plot to bring back Vritra and use ex-POTUS Kenneth Hill's political prisoner, Khali Mehta Sherpa, as the catalyst for the War of Storms endgame. ------ Impeached and convicted ex-POTUS Kenneth Hill remains exiled at his private London estate during the height of the War of Storms operations. Hill's lust for revenge plagued his mind and influenced his decision-making. Working overseas via encrypted messaging correspondence, Kenneth Hill seeks the assistance of the former Counterintelligence Response Bureau, James Wade Matthews, while under house arrest in his New York apartment. The Elite Justice Force Squad's intent to bring all the malefactors to face true justice and to get Khali safely home and back with the EJFS was the top priority of the superagency. ------ The grand conclusion of the original EJFS trilogy has arrived as Abhu and his best friend, Singh, lead the charge to locate and rescue Khali after his capture and imprisonment four months prior. Together, they encounter multiple obstacles to liberate the EJFS founder. With the deck stacked against the duo, will Abhu and Singh overcome impossible odds to save Khali and avert world catastrophe again? ------ The journey spans Atlanta, Norfolk, New York City, Belfast, Dublin, London, Moscow, Oblastnaya, Siberia, and Amsterdam.

Download or read book Free Justice written by Sara Mayeux and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2020-04-28 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every day, in courtrooms around the United States, thousands of criminal defendants are represented by public defenders--lawyers provided by the government for those who cannot afford private counsel. Though often taken for granted, the modern American public defender has a surprisingly contentious history--one that offers insights not only about the "carceral state," but also about the contours and compromises of twentieth-century liberalism. First gaining appeal amidst the Progressive Era fervor for court reform, the public defender idea was swiftly quashed by elite corporate lawyers who believed the legal profession should remain independent from the state. Public defenders took hold in some localities but not yet as a nationwide standard. By the 1960s, views had shifted. Gideon v. Wainwright enshrined the right to counsel into law and the legal profession mobilized to expand the ranks of public defenders nationwide. Yet within a few years, lawyers had already diagnosed a "crisis" of underfunded, overworked defenders providing inadequate representation--a crisis that persists today. This book shows how these conditions, often attributed to recent fiscal emergencies, have deep roots, and it chronicles the intertwined histories of constitutional doctrine, big philanthropy, professional in-fighting, and Cold War culture that made public defenders ubiquitous but embattled figures in American courtrooms.
Download or read book Hard Asset written by Pamela Clare and published by Cobra Elite. This book was released on 2019-08-15 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A perilous mission... Shanti Lahiri's tragic family history inspired her to fight for justice. Now a prosecutor with the International Criminal Court, she doesn't have time for dating or relationships. When an investigation takes her to the Rohingya refugee camps in her father's homeland of Bangladesh, the last thing she wants is an armed security team following her everywhere and frightening her already traumatized witnesses. But others who've tried to investigate these crimes have gone missing, and Shanti doesn't want to be the next one to disappear. Despite her misgivings, she has no choice but to accept their protection. And, no, the fact that the team's leader is lethally sexy has nothing to do with her decision. An undeniable attraction... Connor O'Neal left the Unit-Delta Force-after a decade of war, scarred both inside and out. Now an operative with Cobra International Security, he's been tasked with protecting Shanti in one of the most dangerous parts of the world. He can handle anything the bad guys throw at him, but nothing prepares him for the instant attraction he feels to Shanti. From the first moment he sees her, he wants her. Too bad, because clients are strictly off-limits, and he's a man who follows the rules-most of the time. Besides, he can't afford any distractions when Shanti's life is on the line. A merciless enemy... But something about Shanti breaks through Connor's defenses, forcing him to confront his demons. As their mutual desire transforms into reckless passion, Shanti discovers evidence crucial to putting a mastermind of genocide behind bars. Connor knows her life is in immediate danger, but his plan to get her out of the country comes crashing down when a traitor strikes, leaving the two of them stranded in the jungles of Myanmar. Now on the run from a ruthless killer and his army, Connor and Shanti are fighting for survival-and a chance at the love of a lifetime.
Book Synopsis Elite Capture by : Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò
Download or read book Elite Capture written by Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò and published by Haymarket Books. This book was released on 2022-05-03 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Identity politics” is everywhere, polarizing discourse from the campaign trail to the classroom and amplifying antagonisms in the media, both online and off. But the compulsively referenced phrase bears little resemblance to the concept as first introduced by the radical Black feminist Combahee River Collective. While the Collective articulated a political viewpoint grounded in their own position as Black lesbians with the explicit aim of building solidarity across lines of difference, identity politics is now frequently weaponized as a means of closing ranks around ever-narrower conceptions of group interests. But the trouble, Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò deftly argues, is not with identity politics itself. Through a substantive engagement with the global Black radical tradition and a critical understanding of racial capitalism, Táíwò identifies the process by which a radical concept can be stripped of its political substance and liberatory potential by becoming the victim of elite capture—deployed by political, social, and economic elites in the service of their own interests. Táíwò’s crucial intervention both elucidates this complex process and helps us move beyond a binary of “class” vs. “race.” By rejecting elitist identity politics in favor of a constructive politics of radical solidarity, he advances the possibility of organizing across our differences in the urgent struggle for a better world.
Book Synopsis Winners Take All by : Anand Giridharadas
Download or read book Winners Take All written by Anand Giridharadas and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The groundbreaking investigation of how the global elite's efforts to "change the world" preserve the status quo and obscure their role in causing the problems they later seek to solve. An essential read for understanding some of the egregious abuses of power that dominate today’s news. "Impassioned.... Entertaining reading.” —The Washington Post Anand Giridharadas takes us into the inner sanctums of a new gilded age, where the rich and powerful fight for equality and justice any way they can—except ways that threaten the social order and their position atop it. They rebrand themselves as saviors of the poor; they lavishly reward “thought leaders” who redefine “change” in ways that preserve the status quo; and they constantly seek to do more good, but never less harm. Giridharadas asks hard questions: Why, for example, should our gravest problems be solved by the unelected upper crust instead of the public institutions it erodes by lobbying and dodging taxes? His groundbreaking investigation has already forced a great, sorely needed reckoning among the world’s wealthiest and those they hover above, and it points toward an answer: Rather than rely on scraps from the winners, we must take on the grueling democratic work of building more robust, egalitarian institutions and truly changing the world—a call to action for elites and everyday citizens alike.

Download or read book The Supreme Court and Benign Elite Democracy in Japan written by Hiroshi Itoh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Constitution of Japan has served the country for more than half a century, creating and maintaining a stable and functional democratic system. This book innovatively interprets Japanese politics as a ’benign elite democracy’ whilst demonstrating the Supreme Court's vital contribution to the political structure. In The Supreme Court and Benign Elite Democracy in Japan, Hiroshi Itoh presents the first empirical study of judicial decision making under Japan's Constitution. He examines the Supreme Court’s records regarding the protection of civil rights and liberties, the preservation of the conformity of lower levels of laws and regulations to the Constitution, and the maintenance of the Court's relationships to the political branches. The analysis of these three aspects of constitutional litigation reveal how the Supreme Court contributes to the efficacy of constitutional democracy by keeping the system adaptable to the ever-changing environment in and around Japan.

Book Synopsis Discrimination in Elite Public Schools by : Gary Orfield
Download or read book Discrimination in Elite Public Schools written by Gary Orfield and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School choice is an increasingly important part of today’s educational landscape and this timely volume presents fresh research about the competitive admissions policies of choice systems. Based on their investigation of a unique civil rights challenge to school choice admissions policies in politically and racially divided Buffalo, New York, and the struggle to open its best schools to students of color, authors Orfield and Ayscue contend that without intentional effort, choice systems are likely to exacerbate problems of inequality and segregation. Focusing on issues that will continue to be contested in the courts and in the policy arena, the authors offer research-based recommendations for reducing barriers to enrollment and for creating competitive-admissions choice systems that will allow all students access to important educational opportunities. The book outlines specific steps school systems can take, including developing a district-wide diversity plan, providing more accessible information, conducting holistic admissions processes, expanding the availability of choices, and offering preparation programs to assist students long excluded from these highly competitive schools. Contributors: Natasha Amlani, Jongyeon Ee, Genevieve Siegel-Hawley, Jenna Tomasello, Brian Woodward “This important book ought to inspire a national debate.
