Book Synopsis Cultural Legal Studies by : Cassandra Sharp
Download or read book Cultural Legal Studies written by Cassandra Sharp and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-07-24 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What can law’s popular cultures do for law, as a constitutive and interrogative critical practice? This collection explores such a question through the lens of the ‘cultural legal studies’ movement, which proffers a new encounter with the ‘cultural turn’ in law and legal theory. Moving beyond the ‘law ands’ (literature, humanities, culture, film, visual and aesthetics) on which it is based, this book demonstrates how the techniques and practices of cultural legal studies can be used to metamorphose law and the legalities that underpin its popular imaginary. By drawing on three different modes of cultural legal studies – storytelling, technology and jurisprudence – the collection showcases the intersectional practices of cultural legal studies, and law in its popular cultural mode. The contributors to the collection deploy differentiated modes of cultural legal studies practice, adopting diverse philosophical, disciplinary, methodological and theoretical approaches and subjects of examination. The collection draws on this mix of diversity and homogeneity to thread together its overarching theme: that we must take seriously an interrogation of law as culture and in its cultural form. That is, it does not ask how a text ‘represents’ law; but rather how the representational nature of both law and culture intersect so that the ‘juridical’ become visible in various cultural manifestations. In short, it asks: how law’s popular cultures actively effect the metamorphosis of law.

Download or read book Legal Literacy written by Archie Zariski and published by Athabasca University Press. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To understand how the legal system works, students must consider the law in terms of its structures, processes, language, and modes of thought and argument—in short, they must become literate in the field. Legal Literacy fulfills this aim by providing a foundational understanding of key concepts such as legal personhood, jurisdiction, and precedent, and by introducing students to legal research and writing skills. Examples of cases, statutes, and other legal materials support these concepts. While Legal Literacy is an introductory text, it also challenges students to consider critically the system they are studying. Touching on significant socio-legal issues such as access to justice, legal jargon, and plain language, Zariski critiques common legal traditions and practices, and analyzes what it means “to think like a lawyer.” As such, the text provides a sound basis for those who wish to pursue further studies in law or legal studies as well as those seeking a better understanding of how the legal field relates to the society that it serves.

Download or read book Law at Work written by ELAINE W. SHOBEN and published by West Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Law at Work is an accessible text that allows any non-lawyer to understand the basic legal issues involved in human resources work. The text presents not just the fairly settled legal rules, but it also conveys the dynamic aspect of law. The text addresses such questions as: Will gig workers be protected as employees? How do medical and recreational marijuana laws affect workplace drug testing? What protection exists for transgender employees? May an employer discharge a worker for displaying offensive tattoos? Will "comp time" eventually replace overtime pay? The text covers employer responsibilities with respect to immigration, discrimination, health and safety, unionization, family and medical leaves, privacy, compensation, and benefits, among other topics. The chapters start with a set of "Try Your Hand" questions to engage the reader immediately and to entice curiosity about the answers, found in the pages that follow. Each chapter also contains one or more problems illustrating the ambiguous nature of legal rules. The goal of these problems, called "Developing Your Instincts," is to allow students to put into practice the material that they have learned and to help students realize when they should exercise caution in resolving Human Resources issues. The text is suitable for human resources classes at any level of higher education.

Book Synopsis A Popular and Practical Introduction to Law Studies by : Samuel Warren
Download or read book A Popular and Practical Introduction to Law Studies written by Samuel Warren and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-02-17 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preface to the Latest American Edition. THE present edition of Warren's Law Studies, has been prepared with especial reference to the use of American Law-students. It has been carefully compiled from the latest London edition, in which the distinguished author has given to our profession a work which, for its clearness of style, depth of thought, and purity of purpose, will cause it to remain an enduring monument to his fame. Of him it may be truly said, that he has paid the debt which Lord Bacon holds every man to owe to his profession. The editor has found it a most ungrateful task to abridge - he has been reminded, at every step, of the language used by Sir William Blackstone, where he says, in speaking of a like duty, "it is impossible to abstract or abridge it, without losing some beauty and destroying the chain of the whole," Nothing but the necessity of bringing the work within the compass of a single volume, would justify abridgement. Finally it is hoped that this edition, the fruit of much care and pains, (more in rejecting, than in adopting,) may meet the approbation of the class for whom the author designed it. The index has been carefully revised, so that it may correspond to the present edition. The language of the author is most cordially endorsed, where he recommends this prayer as "worthy of being engraved on the memory and heart of every student of the law": "Almighty God, the giver of wisdom, without whose help resolutions are vain - without whose blessing study is ineffectual, enable me if it be Thy will, to attain such knowledge as may qualify me to direct the doubtful, and instruct the ignorant; to prevent wrongs, and terminate contentions; and grant that I may use that knowledge which I shall attain, to Thy glory, and my own salvation, for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen."
Book Synopsis A Guide to Critical Legal Studies by : Mark Kelman
Download or read book A Guide to Critical Legal Studies written by Mark Kelman and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until now there has been no summary or overview of the wide range of work contributing to critical legal studies, the movement that has aroused such a furor in the communities of law and political philosophy. This book outlines and evaluates the principal strands of critical legal studies, and achieves much more as well. A good deal of the writing in critical legal studies has been devoted to laying bare the contradictions in liberal thought. There have been attacks and counterattacks on the liberal position and on the more conservative law and economics position. Now Mark Kelman demonstrates that any critique of law and economics is inextricably tied to a broader critique of liberalism. There are three central contradictions in liberal thought: between a commitment to mechanically applicable rules and to standards that fluctuate with situations; between intrinsic individual values and the objective knowledge of ethical truths; and between free will and determinism. Kelman shows us the pervasiveness of these contradictions in legal doctrine; their connection to broader political theory and to visions of human nature; and, finally, the degree to which mainstream thought tends to privilege certain of these commitments over others. The author also analyzes two of the most significant components of jurisprudence today the law and economics discipline and the legal process school. He concludes with a lively discussion of the role of law generally and of "cognitive legitimation," or the ways in which legal thought can make the unnecessary, the contingent, and the unjust seem natural, inevitable, and fair.
