Book Synopsis Law and Life. Why Law? by : Peter van Schilfgaarde
Download or read book Law and Life. Why Law? written by Peter van Schilfgaarde and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-04 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on the assumption that the world is governed by a widespread field of interconnected laws. In this field man-made laws – legal laws - have to coexist with the laws of nature, the laws of science and the laws of logic. They have to find their place in relation to a certain society. They have to relate to the demands of morality, ethics, custom and trust. They have to follow the laws of language. They have to deal with a variety of professional and esthetic rules. They have to defend their position between art and craft. Finally, and significantly, they have to cope with a host of different ideas about truth. This book approaches law as a human construct meant to strengthen society as it develops through the ages. Knowledge of the law – legal knowledge – is of doubtful value if it ignores the demands and ideals of society. The same goes for the thinking leading to legal knowledge. This book focuses on a basic concept. That concept is met if the legal thinking, leading to legal knowledge, reaches the level of an independent, law and society oriented, contemplative discipline. A discipline which is in that sense and to that extent in touch with - cherished or less cherished - parts of given law.

Book Synopsis Law in Everyday Life by : Austin Sarat
Download or read book Law in Everyday Life written by Austin Sarat and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2009-11-10 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sarat and Kearns . . . have edited a truly marvelous work on the impact of the law on daily life and vice versa. . . . the essays are all exemplary, thought- provoking works worthy of a long, contemplative read by scholars, lawyers, and judges alike." --Choice "The subject of law in everyday life is timely in theory and in practice. The essays collected here are stimulating for the very different ways in which they reconfigure the meanings of 'the law' as cultural practice, and 'the everyday' as a cultural domain in which the state expresses a range of interests and engagements. Readers looking for an introduction to this topic will come away from the book with a clear sense of the varied voices and modes of inquiry now involved in sociolegal studies, and what distinguishes them. More experienced readers will appreciate the book's meticulous reconsideration of the instrumentalities, agencies, and constructedness of law." --Carol Greenhouse, Indiana University Contributors include David Engel, Hendrik Hartog, Thomas R. Kearns, David Kennedy, Catharine MacKinnon, George Marcus, Austin Sarat, and Patricia Williams.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Law in Daily Life: A Collection of Legal Questions Connected With the Ordinary Events of Everyday Life In daily life many legal relations and legal transactions arise which, owing to the insignificance of the object involved in them, hardly ever lead to an action, but which for all that may be applied with great utility to purposes of legal education, because they give to beginners the opportunity of contemplating with a legal eye the ordinary occurrences of life. I have collected a great number of cases of this nature and arranged them together from various points of view. The collection first appeared as an appendix to the second edition of my 'Civilrechts-falle ohne Entscheidungen, ' published in the year 1870, and then independently; and its value for teaching purposes has been proved by the new editions which have since made their appearance, and by several translations (an Italian by Vito Perugio, a Hungarian by Professor Biermann, a Greek by Dr. Demaras, an abridgement in the Portuguese tongue in De Menezes, Questoes vigentes de philoeophia e dt direito, Pernambuco, p. 161 sq.). May the little book still further prove its usefulness for legal education. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Brush with the Law by : Robert Byrnes
Download or read book Brush with the Law written by Robert Byrnes and published by Renaissance Books. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just how tough are the country's most prestigious law schools? Most alumni would answer with stories of humiliating "Socratic dialogue failures" in the classroom and all-night, caffeine-fueled cram sessions. Until now, the traditional concept of the law-school experience was the one presented in Scott Turow's One-L, published in 1977, a dark description of his first year at Harvard Law School. Twenty-four years later things have definitely changed. Turow's book became the accepted primer--and warning--for aspiring law students, giving them a glimpse of what awaited: grueling nonstop study, brutally competitive classes, endless research, and unfathomable terminology. It described a draconian prison and endless work in the company of equally obsessive, desperate fellow students. Yet, sidestepping terror and intimidation, law students (and new authors) Robert Byrnes and Jaime Marquart entered highly prestigious law schools, did things their own way, earned law degrees, and were hired by a Los Angeles law firm, turning Turow's vision upside down. In their parallel narratives--two twisted, hilarious, blighted, and glorious coming-of-age stories--Byrnes and Marquart explain how they managed to graduate while spending most of their time in the pursuit of pleasure. Byrnes went to Stanford to reinvent himself--after a false start in politics he wanted to explore the life of the mind. It took him virtually no time to discover that the law was neither particularly intriguing nor particularly challenging. He could play around the clock. When Byrnes wasn't biking he was getting drunk and smoking crack. Finding himself when he discovered the right woman, Byrnes finally moved to Los Angeles during his third year and flew upstate only to take final exams. Born and raised in a small town in Texas, Marquart had never lived outside the state before arriving at Harvard. Amazed at his own good luck, he approached school with all due diligence. Disenchantment followed shortly thereafter, and Marquart learned he needn't be intimidated by his classmates and teachers. With a mysterious and bizarre companion--another student called the Kankoos--Jaime took up traveling but devoted most of his energy (and considerable money) to gambling, counting cards in casinos around the country. Irreverent, funny, and downright shocking, Brush with the Law will inspire undergraduates to bone up for the entrance exam, while outraging lawyers and the admissions officers of their beloved alma maters. Upon realizing how easy it was to get good grades, Jaime relates: "I approached my second year with [one] goal . . . take classes that required the least amount of work and the least amount of attendance . . . To accomplish my . . . goal, I devised The System, a short instruction manual on the principles behind selecting and ditching law school classes. The System's goal was to screw off as much as possible, with few if any consequences." --from Brush with the Law
Book Synopsis Law's Meaning of Life by : Ngaire Naffine
Download or read book Law's Meaning of Life written by Ngaire Naffine and published by Hart Publishing (UK). This book was released on 2009 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The perennial question posed by the philosophically-inclined lawyer is 'What is law?' or perhaps 'What is the nature of law?' This book poses an associated, but no less fundamental, question about law which has received much less attention in the legal literature. It is: 'Who is law for?' Whenever people go to law, they are judged for their suitability as legal persons. They are given or refused rights and duties on the basis of ideas about who matters. These ideas are basic to legal-decision making; they form the intellectual and moral underpinning of legal thought. They help to determine whether law is essentially for rational human beings or whether it also speaks to and for human infants, adults with impaired reasoning, the comotose, foetuses and even animals. Are these the right kind of beings to enter legal relationships and so become legal persons. Are they, for example, sufficiently rational, or sacred or simply human? Is law meant for them? This book reveals and evaluates the type of thinking that goes into these fundamental legal and metaphysical determinations about who should be capable of bearing legal rights and duties. It identifies and analyses four influential ways of thinking about law's person, each with its own metaphysical suppositions. One approach derives from rationalist philosophy, a second from religion, a third from evolutionary biology while the fourth is strictly legalistic and so endeavours to eschew metaphysics altogether. The book offers a clear, coherent and critical account of these complex moral and intellectual processes entailed in the making of legal persons.

Book Synopsis Playing by the Rules by : Frederick Schauer
Download or read book Playing by the Rules written by Frederick Schauer and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 1991-08-22 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a philosophical but non-technical analysis of the very idea of a rule. Although focused somewhat on the role of rules in the legal system, it is also relevant to the place of rules in morality, religion, etiquette, games, language, and family governance. In both explaining the idea of a rule and making the case for taking rules seriously, the book is a departure both in scope and in perspective from anything that now exists.
Book Synopsis Is Law for You? by : Christopher Stoakes
Download or read book Is Law for You? written by Christopher Stoakes and published by . This book was released on 2011-06 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Law is one of the most important but impenetrable subjects. It affects us all. It protects us from crime. It provides us with consumer rights. It tells us what happens to our property if we get divorced and when we die. So, of course, it's going to be complex. And expensive when you need advice. But wouldn't you like to know a bit about it? So that you don't feel quite so stupid when faced with a legal issue or legal language? Maybe you'd like to be a lawyer. But will you like it? Before you sign up to do a law degree, wouldn't it be helpful to know a little bit about it? Because - and this is typical of law - universities don't like you to have done any before you do law with them. So you can't find out beforehand. Maybe you would have liked to have been a lawyer but never had the chance. You can still learn about it now. Maybe you'd like to be able to get better value from your lawyer when you next talk to him or her because you'll have a better grasp of the terminology they use, so you'll understand more and it will take less time - which may even reduce the size of your legal bill. Wouldn't that be nice? If any of these questions resonate with you, you're in the right place. This book tells you what the law is and why.
Book Synopsis Family Law and Personal Life by : John Eekelaar
Download or read book Family Law and Personal Life written by John Eekelaar and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2006 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How should our most intimate personal relationships be governed in a liberal society? Should the state encourage a particular model of family life, or support individuals in their pursuit of personal happiness? To what extent do people have the right to shape the lives of their offspring? This book examines the questions at the heart of family law, rethinking the ideas that shape our understanding of the family as a social unit, its purpose, and the obligations and rights that belong to family members. The book explores how the governance of personal relationships has depended on the exercise of power, from the traditional assumptions of patriarchy, where the male head of the family enjoyed full control over his dependents and descendents, to the ideology of welfarism, where state institutions protect the interests of the vulnerable at the expense of their close relations. Emerging from these conflicting ideologies comes today's rights-based culture, where traditional expectations for behavior within a family sit within a new emphasis on the ability of minorities and traditional dependents to determine the shape of their own lives. Against this background of shifting power relations, the book explores the inter-relationship between the legal regulation of people's personal lives and the values of friendship, truth, respect and responsibility. In doing this, a variety of controversial issues are examined in the light of those values: including the legal regulation of gay and unmarried heterosexual relationships; freedom of procreation; state supervision over the exercise of parenthood; the role of fault in divorce law; the way parenthood is allocated; the rights and responsibilities of parents to control their children; the place of religion in the family; the rights of separated partners regarding property and of separated parents regarding their children. Throughout, the book offers a new picture of the intimacy at the center of personal relationships and argues that only by understanding this intimacy, and its role in human happiness, can we arrive at a true framework for respecting, and governing, the personal lives of other people.
