Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Law and the Woman By study and comparison of the laws of the several States in their relation to women may be evolved such legislative measures as will tend to establish a fair legal status for women, which would mean a government of the people, for the people and by the people, along with the concession that women are people. The power is vested in the legislatures of the several States to make, ordain and establish all manner of laws, statutes and ordinances not repugnant to the Constitution and deemed for the best good and interest of the Common wealth. It is by and through these law making bodies women must establish their protective and defensive measures and these measures should be so fair, sane and equitable as to command universal respect and confidence. Careful and intelligent progress by women in the shaping of such new laws as are intended to equalize their status with the male citizen will best demonstrate their right to citizenship with its resultant obligations and duties, for in the multiplicity of laws now cluttering our statute books a few more, unless direct, forceful and valid, will but add to the confusion and defeat their purpose. It may be well to recall the fact that in 1913 more than two thousand bills were introduced in the Wisconsin legislature, of which eight hundred and twenty three were passed. The law making bodies of other States stagger, session after session, under equally heavy burdens. Wherefore it would seem that a Bureau of Legislation, with women fairly represented, to which all bills would have to be submitted for approval before introduction.

But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.

In the end it was undeniably demonstrated that the people could be trusted - that the rank and file always will act upon accurate information as to the public character of candidates; that if the actual record of any aspirant for public position is placed before the people, they will elect or defeat him according to the measure of his merit and their own welfare.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Conflict of Laws There are three general systems of legal instruction in use in American Law Schools - the lecture, the case, and the text method. Regardless of the relative superiority of one to the others, the author is convinced, after seven years teaching experience, that no one of these methods alone is adequate to sound, thorough instruction in the law. In his presentation of this difficult subject in the class-room, he has produced satisfactory results only by a combination of text, cases, and lecture in proper pro portion. The value of a text in stating the principles of the 1a7 in brief form can not be denied. The necessity of reading leading decisions that support and apply those principles is indisputable. And finally, there is the general discussion in class; the Instructor When neces sary, expounding the subject, imparting the benefits of his knowledge and experience and observation, thereby arousing and sustaining interest in the work; these are the things that elevate instruction from the mechanical to the intellectual. In presenting this text therefore, the author makes no defense. He has embodied the fundamentals of the sub jeot in the text in simple form. He has scrupulously selected the leading decisions and included them in the notes, Where they are identified by large conspicuous cita tion. Finally, instead of merely stating the law, he has by clear simple language explained it, so as to reproduce, as far as possible, the full value of the class instruction. It is this very feature, it is believed, that Will commend it for Law School purposes to Instructor and class alike.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brief Making and the Use of Law Books The failure Of the law schools to turn out graduates better prepared for the practical work of the office or court-room is an old and ever recurring theme of complaint from bench and bar. The recent graduate himself, wrestling with his earliest practical problems, is especially prone to lay his troubles at the door of the law school. Without stopping to inquire in what other directions the law school has come short of its duty to the student, law teachers generally must concede that while a knowledge of law books and their use - in short, brief-making, in its broader sense is an essential professional acquirement, this field is yet, for the average law-school graduate, a vast waste of uncharted and unexplored territory. Following precedent, the teacher has been content to lay before the student, in the form of lectures, text-books or cases, or these combined, principles of the teacher's own choosing; but little or no necessity for sus taining or combating a particular proposition by written argu ment is encountered by the student while in the law school. The result has been that the student enters upon the practice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasingly transnational nature of terrorist activities compels the international community to strengthen the legal framework in which counter-terrorism activities should occur at every level, including that of intergovernmental organizations. This unique, timely, and carefully researched monograph examines one such important yet generally under-researched and poorly understood intergovernmental organization, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation ('OIC', formerly the Organization of the Islamic Conference). In particular, it analyses in depth its institutional counter-terrorism law-making practice, and the relationship between resultant OIC law and comparable UN norms in furtherance of UN Global Counter-Terrorism Stategy goals. Furthermore, it explores two common (mis)assumptions regarding the OIC, namely whether its internal institutional weaknesses mean that its law-making practice is inconsequential at the intergovernmental level; and whether its self-declared Islamic objectives and nature are irrelevant to its institutional practice or are instead reflected within OIC law. Where significant normative tensions are discerned between OIC law and UN law, the monograph explores not only whether these may be explicable, at least in part, by the OIC's Islamic nature, and objectives, but also whether their corresponding institutional legal orders are conflicting or cooperative in nature, and the resultant implications of these findings for international counter-terrorism law- and policy-making. This monograph is expected to appeal especially to national and intergovernmental counter-terrorism practitioners and policy-makers, as well as to scholars concerned with the interaction between international and Islamic law norms. From the Foreword by Professor Ben Saul, The University of Sydney Dr Samuels book must be commended as an original and insightful contribution to international legal scholarship on the OIC, Islamic law, international law, and counter-terrorism. It fills significant gaps in legal knowledge about the vast investment of international and regional effort that has gone into the global counter-terrorism enterprise over many decades, and which accelerated markedly after 9/11. The scope of the book is ambitious, its subject matter is complex, and its sources are many and diverse. Dr Samuel has deployed an appropriate theoretical and empirical methodology, harnessed an intricate knowledge of the field, and brought a balanced judgement to bear, to bring these issues to life.
