Book Synopsis Law and the Modern Mind by : Susanna L. Blumenthal
Download or read book Law and the Modern Mind written by Susanna L. Blumenthal and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2016-02-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In postrevolutionary America, the autonomous individual was both the linchpin of a young nation and a threat to the founders’ vision of ordered liberty. Conceiving of self-government as a psychological as well as a political project, jurists built a republic of laws upon the Enlightenment science of the mind with the aim of producing a responsible citizenry. Susanna Blumenthal probes the assumptions and consequences of this undertaking, revealing how ideas about consciousness, agency, and accountability have shaped American jurisprudence. Focusing on everyday adjudication, Blumenthal shows that mental soundness was routinely disputed in civil as well as criminal cases. Litigants presented conflicting religious, philosophical, and medical understandings of the self, intensifying fears of a populace maddened by too much liberty. Judges struggled to reconcile common sense notions of rationality with novel scientific concepts that suggested deviant behavior might result from disease rather than conscious choice. Determining the threshold of competence was especially vexing in litigation among family members that raised profound questions about the interconnections between love and consent. This body of law coalesced into a jurisprudence of insanity, which also illuminates the position of those to whom the insane were compared, particularly children, married women, and slaves. Over time, the liberties of the eccentric expanded as jurists came to recognize the diversity of beliefs held by otherwise reasonable persons. In calling attention to the problematic relationship between consciousness and liability, Law and the Modern Mind casts new light on the meanings of freedom in the formative era of American law.
Book Synopsis Consciousness and Moral Responsibility by : Neil Levy
Download or read book Consciousness and Moral Responsibility written by Neil Levy and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-03 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neil Levy presents a new theory of freedom and responsibility. He defends a particular account of consciousness—the global workspace view—and argues that consciousness plays an especially important role in action. There are good reasons to think that the naïve assumption, that consciousness is needed for moral responsibility, is in fact true.
Book Synopsis The Consciousness of the Litigator by : Duffy Graham
Download or read book The Consciousness of the Litigator written by Duffy Graham and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2009-11-10 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An important and thought-provoking addition to the literature on the ethics of lawyers." ---Kimberly Kirkland, Franklin Pierce Law Center The Consciousness of the Litigator investigates the role of the lawyer in modern American political and social life and in the judicial process, and plumbs lawyers' perceptions of themselves, their work, and, especially, their sense of right and wrong. In so doing, the book sheds light on the unique and little-examined subject of the moral mind of the litigator, whose work extends to all corners of society and whose primary expertise---making legal arguments---is the fundamental skill of all lawyers. The Consciousness of the Litigator stands with Michael Kelly's Lives of Lawyers as a must-read for the many law students, scholars, and practicing litigators who struggle to balance ethical questions with the dictates of their highly commercialized profession.
Book Synopsis On Being a Christian and a Lawyer by : Thomas L. Shaffer
Download or read book On Being a Christian and a Lawyer written by Thomas L. Shaffer and published by Friends of the Library. This book was released on 1981 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A discussion on the tradition of American legal positivism--the theory that ""it is necessary, in working with law, to set morals aside."" Notre Dame law professor Shaffer argues that modern-day attorney-client relationships are characterized either by the ""ethics of role"" (the lawyer does what the client wants, or tells the client what to do) or by the ""ethics of isolation"" (moral statements, but no dialogue). It is a delusion, Shaffer suggests, to pretend that conscience has nothing to do with serving a client or that lawyer and client do not influence each other. In place of ""adversary ethics,"" Shaffer urges the profession to adopt an ""ethics of care"": a professional relation marked by openness in moral dialogue, in which the lawyer's calling becomes a form of ministry. Telling the client, ""it's up to you,"" after a full exchange of views, is not the same as saying ""whatever you want.""For Shaffer, the American legal system's avoidance of moral ""witnessing"" is nurtured by the legal education; the (often unstated) choice is not against morals, but ""against morals as having intellectual importance."" Law-school instruction either flatly avoids moral questions or, by failing to explore students' stated moral positions, suggests that there is no discipline in moral discourse. Law school is where things have to begin changing: there, ""we can still try to tell the truth to one another."" In elaborating his ethical view, Shaffer segues neatly from Barth to Buber to Trollope's Orley Farm to American legal history to the lives of Thomas More and Franz Jagerstatter. This is an unremittingly ""learned"" book--tough sledding for the intellectually unprepared--but intelligent, well-argued, and bound to become controversial among law-and-ethics scholars.
Book Synopsis Letters to a Young Lawer by : Alan Dershowitz
Download or read book Letters to a Young Lawer written by Alan Dershowitz and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2009-12 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As defender of both the righteous and the questionable, Alan Dershowitz has become perhaps the most famous and outspoken attorney in the land. Whether or not they agree with his legal tactics, most people would agree that he possesses a powerful and profound sense of justice. In this meditation on his profession, Dershowitz writes about life, law, and the opportunities that young lawyers have to do good and do well at the same time. We live in an age of growing dissatisfaction with law as a career, which ironically comes at a time of unprecedented wealth for many lawyers. Dershowitz addresses this paradox, as well as the uncomfortable reality of working hard for clients who are often without many redeeming qualities. He writes about the lure of money, fame, and power, as well as about the seduction of success. In the process, he conveys some of the ''tricks of the trade'' that have helped him win cases and become successful at the art and practice of ''lawyering.''

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It took me 16 years to understand that in order to find true love, happiness, peace and abundance, I needed to go within. During those years, I experienced several painful breakups and went from one relationship to another, only to realize that the most important love is self-love. The most painful break-up was the beginning of my life-long love story. I moved from Slovakia to the USA with only 700 USD and without speaking a word of English. I put myself through law school and became a licensed attorney in New York. Nobody would hire me, so I started my own company and hired myself. I then decided to challenge myself further and travel the world solo. I spent 30 days in complete silence, in meditation retreats throughout Bali, Nepal, and Hawaii. During this period, I faced my deepest fears and came to discover that they were only illusions. The truth is, many of our fears are not real, they are just our ego trying to protect us. What is real is love, and that is our “higher self”. The Universe is governed by the ultimate Law that is Love, and when we all collectively raise our consciousness, we will be able to create a new world. In this book you will learn how to: - Heal a broken heart and fall in love with yourself - Change a limiting money mindset and attract abundance - Discover your purpose and start a purpose driven business - Meditate and tap into your higher self - Create a healthy relationship with your body & embrace your beauty - Activate your inner genius & step into your power In order to live in this new world, every one of us must awaken and do the inner work. The new reality is within you, yearning to be awakened. The question is, are you ready? About the Author Marieta Oslanec is a successful attorney, author, serial entrepreneur and intuitive business coach. She is the founder of ImmigrationBiz PLLC and ImmigrationBiz Academy, where she has helped many foreign entrepreneurs start profitable businesses in the US and live the American Dream.

Visit www.marietaoslanec.com and www.loveisthelaw.com for more information. Praise When I first heard Marieta share the title of her book I thought “that’s brilliant!” How perfect that a lawyer writes a book about how love is the ultimate law. Marieta and her journey to discovering 21 laws, leading to the ultimate law of love, is a beautiful story of self-discovery. Through reading this book, you will gain a greater understanding of the tremendous power you have in your own life to create greater joy, peace, health, wealth, and above all, love. With this understanding, you hold the key to self-transformation. If individually we all take this key and open the door to self-love, together, we will shift the global consciousness. The purpose of a forward can be many things, and I hope that with this forward you felt inspired and invited to take a closer look; then go beyond reading words and concepts to open your mind and heart and enter the space between words, beyond knowledge, to Spirit, where Love is the Law.

Book Synopsis The Ghostwriters by : Tommaso Pavone
Download or read book The Ghostwriters written by Tommaso Pavone and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-07 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Union is often depicted as a cradle of judicial activism and a polity built by courts. Tommaso Pavone shows how this judge-centric narrative conceals a crucial arena for political action. Beneath the radar, Europe's political development unfolded as a struggle between judges who resisted European law and lawyers who pushed them to embrace change. Under the sheepskin of rights-conscious litigants and activist courts, these “Euro-lawyers” sought clients willing to break state laws conflicting with European law, lobbied national judges to uphold European rules, and propelled them to submit noncompliance cases to the European Union's supreme court – the European Court of Justice – by ghostwriting their referrals. By shadowing lawyers who encourage deliberate law-breaking and mobilize courts against their own governments, The Ghostwriters overturns the conventional wisdom regarding the judicial construction of Europe and illuminates how the politics of lawyers can profoundly impact institutional change and transnational governance.
