Book excerpt: "When it comes to justice, there is no easy way to get it. You can't sugarcoat it. You have to take a stand and say, 'This is not right.'" - Claudette Colvin On March 2, 1955, an impassioned teenager, fed up with the daily injustices of Jim Crow segregation, refused to give her seat to a white woman on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Instead of being celebrated as Rosa Parks would be just nine months later, fifteen-year-old Claudette Colvin found herself shunned by her classmates and dismissed by community leaders. Undaunted, a year later she dared to challenge segregation again as a key plaintiff in Browder v. Gayle, the landmark case that struck down the segregation laws of Montgomery and swept away the legal underpinnings of the Jim Crow South. Based on extensive interviews with Claudette Colvin and many others, Phillip Hoose presents the first in-depth account of an important yet largely unknown civil rights figure, skillfully weaving her dramatic story into the fabric of the historic Montgomery bus boycott and court case that would change the course of American history. Claudette Colvin is the National Book Award Winner for Young People's Literature, a Newbery Honor Book, A YALSA Award for Excellence in Nonfiction for Young Adults Finalist, and a Robert F. Sibert Honor Book.

Book excerpt: ** WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER **USA TODAY BESTSELLER ** PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY BESTSELLER ** NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ** With a simple majority on the Supreme Court, the left would have the power to curtail or even abolish the freedoms that have made America a beacon to the world. We are one vote away from losing our most precious constitutional rights. As a Supreme Court clerk, solicitor general of Texas, and private litigator, Ted Cruz played a key role in some of the most important legal cases of the past two decades. In One Vote Away, you will discover how often the high court decisions that affect your life have been decided by the narrowest of margins. One vote preserves your right to speak freely, to bear arms, and to exercise your faith. One vote will determine whether your children enjoy their full inheritance as American citizens. God may endow us with "certain unalienable rights," but whether we enjoy them depends on nine judges—the "high priests" who have the last say in our system of government. Drawing back the curtain of their temple, Senator Cruz reveals the struggles, arguments, and strife that have shaped the fate of those rights. No one who reads One Vote Away can ever again take a single seat on the Supreme Court for granted.

Book excerpt: Winner of the National Book Award for Nonfiction An electrifying story of the sensational murder trial that divided a city and ignited the civil rights struggle In 1925, Detroit was a smoky swirl of jazz and speakeasies, assembly lines and fistfights. The advent of automobiles had brought workers from around the globe to compete for manufacturing jobs, and tensions often flared with the KKK in ascendance and violence rising. Ossian Sweet, a proud Negro doctor-grandson of a slave-had made the long climb from the ghetto to a home of his own in a previously all-white neighborhood. Yet just after his arrival, a mob gathered outside his house; suddenly, shots rang out: Sweet, or one of his defenders, had accidentally killed one of the whites threatening their lives and homes. And so it began-a chain of events that brought America's greatest attorney, Clarence Darrow, into the fray and transformed Sweet into a controversial symbol of equality. Historian Kevin Boyle weaves the police investigation and courtroom drama of Sweet's murder trial into an unforgettable tapestry of narrative history that documents the volatile America of the 1920s and movingly re-creates the Sweet family's journey from slavery through the Great Migration to the middle class. Ossian Sweet's story, so richly and poignantly captured here, is an epic tale of one man trapped by the battles of his era's changing times.

Book excerpt: Small-town judgment can be brutal, as Sherry Dyke, a high school student, finds out after she is date-raped, becomes pregnant as a result, and makes a difficult decision. The family moves to another state to avoid the harassment and begin to rebuild their lives. They win over their new communities, including Sherry finding love. But when the man who raped her shows up, the harassment begins anew until Sherry is brutally raped again and beaten. Sherry survives her injuries, and she and her family seek justice through the court system but are disappointed. Sherry’s tragic story is contrasted by the beauty of the setting—the Columbia River Gorge, which separates the states of Oregon and Washington—and the manner in which she finally gets justice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Nyay-Darshan of ancient India, where the word ‘Justice’ was defined for the first time, humanity has walked a long way to arrive at a different meaning altogether. In the 1830s, the British destroyed two ancient systems of Indian civilization. One was the Gurukul education system in Sanskrit, and the second was the concept of Nyay from the Nyaydarshan. Nyay was the fundamental way of living for every learned Indian. It was expelled under a systemic conspiracy. And this novel restores the same idea of Nyay back in modern India. It is the story of Sunita Roy, an idealistic law student and only daughter of a top industrialist, who turns against the system when she sees the killing of her father in front of her eyes and fails to get justice in court. She uses all her excellence to expose the impotence of the judiciary system and ensures justice for all in a controversial way. When Sunita is about to reach her final success, an investigation of a brainy CBI officer, Akshara Mathur, turns the play to the other side. Now, the system traps her in her own play. And there comes Rohan, the love interest of Sunita, to rescue her. He rescues her, but the price she pays for it puts her in front of the self-realization of a lifetime.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three years ago, Hadley Tate, a prostitute, was murdered in the city of Silverkeep, a quiet oasis of middle- to upper-class families. No one was ever convicted of the murder, and the case was soon forgotten by the authorities. Until now. Two drifters, J and Ben, arrive in town to confront Pastor Bryan Shortridge, head pastor of Unity Church, for the cover-up of Hadley's murder. Shortridge knows who was involved in her death, and the secret he holds could unravel the careers of a well-respected judge, Phoenix Creed, as well as corrupt real estate mogul, Aden Dunwell, and his partner, Cole Booker. As J and Ben get closer to revealing the truth, they find themselves as the prime suspects in the spate of murders happening around the city since their arrival. Complicating matters is a church secretary, Molly Dowd, and Hadley's best friend, Pamela Monday, who become ensnared in the web of deceit, but are desperate for a way out. The search for redemption by all parties involved takes an ironic twist, with a return to the scene of the crime, some three years after the murder. Here, a shocking confession by Pastor Shortridge reveals more than just a passing knowledge of the crime. Through it all, J and Ben remain focused on bringing light into the darkness of this tragic event. But can they thwart the effort of a rogue detective, whose only intent is to convict them of the recent murders and place them behind bars? The life of Pastor Shortridge hangs in the balance if J and Ben are convicted and locked away for good. Will love be enough to overcome the evil that exists?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychological science now reveals much about the law's response to crime. This is the first text to bridge both fields as it presents psychological research and theory relevant to each phase of criminal justice processes. The materials are divided into three parts that follow a comprehensive introduction. The introduction analyses the major legal themes and values that guide criminal justice processes and points to the many psychological issues they raise. Part I examines how the legal system investigates and apprehends criminal suspects. Topics range from the identification, searching and seizing to the questioning of suspects. Part II focuses on how the legal system establishes guilt. To do so, it centres on the process of bargaining and pleading cases, assembling juries, providing expert witnesses, and considering defendants' mental states. Part III focuses on the disposition of cases. Namely, that part highlights the process of sentencing defendants, predicting criminal tendencies, treating and controlling offenders, and determining eligibility for such extreme punishments as the death penalty. The format seeks to give readers a feeling for the entire criminal justice process and for the role psychological science has and can play in it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the Supreme Court’s move to the right has distorted both logic and the Constitution What Supreme Court justices do is far more than just “calling balls and strikes.” The Court has never simply evaluated laws and arguments in light of permanent and immutable constitutional meanings. Social, moral, and yes, political ideas have always played into the justices’ impressions of how they think a case should be decided. Mark Tushnet traces the ways constitutional thought has evolved, from the liberalism of the New Deal and the Great Society to the Reagan conservatism that has been dominant since the 1980s. Looking at the current crossroads in the constitutional order, Tushnet explores the possibilities of either a Trumpian entrenchment of the most extreme ideas of the Reagan philosophy, or a dramatic and destabilizing move to the left. Wary of either outcome, he offers a passionate and informed argument for replacing judicial supremacy with popular constitutionalism—a move that would restore to the other branches of government a role in deciding constitutional questions.
