Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provocative, audacious and challenging, this book rejuvenates not only the historical study of law but also the role of Law Schools by asking which stories we tell and which stories we forget. It argues that a historical approach to law should be at the beating heart of the Law School curriculum. Far from being archaic, elitist and dull, historical perspectives on law are and should be subversive. Comparison with the past underscores: how the law and legal institutions are not fixed but are constructed; that every line drawn in the law and everything the law holds as sacred is actually arbitrary; and how the environment into which law students are socialised is a historical construct. A subversive approach is needed to highlight, question, de-construct and re-construct the authored nature of the law, revealing that legal change on a larger scale is possible. Far from being archaic, this recasts legal history as being anarchic. Subversive Legal History is not a type of Legal History but is its defining characteristic if it is to be a central part of Law School life. It describes a legal method that should not be the preserve only of specialist legal historians but rather should be part of the toolkit of all law students, teachers and researchers. This book will be essential reading for all who work and study in Law Schools, proposing a radical new approach not only to the historical study of law but also to the content, purpose and ambition of legal education. A subversive approach can revolutionise Law Schools providing a more ambitious legal education which is grounded in the socio-legal reality, helping to ensure that today’s law students are better equipped to be the professionals and citizens of tomorrow.

Book Synopsis Executing Freedom by : Daniel LaChance
Download or read book Executing Freedom written by Daniel LaChance and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid-1990s, as public trust in big government was near an all-time low, 80% of Americans told Gallup that they supported the death penalty. Why did people who didn’t trust government to regulate the economy or provide daily services nonetheless believe that it should have the power to put its citizens to death? That question is at the heart of Executing Freedom, a powerful, wide-ranging examination of the place of the death penalty in American culture and how it has changed over the years. Drawing on an array of sources, including congressional hearings and campaign speeches, true crime classics like In Cold Blood, and films like Dead Man Walking, Daniel LaChance shows how attitudes toward the death penalty have reflected broader shifts in Americans’ thinking about the relationship between the individual and the state. Emerging from the height of 1970s disillusion, the simplicity and moral power of the death penalty became a potent symbol for many Americans of what government could do—and LaChance argues, fascinatingly, that it’s the very failure of capital punishment to live up to that mythology that could prove its eventual undoing in the United States.
Book Synopsis The Legal Rights of Students with Disabilities by : Charles J. Russo

This book was released on 2011-06-16 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1948 when the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, all students have been declared the right to education. The rights of disabled students have not been explicitly addressed, however, and each country has developed their own rules and regulations. Although similarities exist among the different countries, differences are evident, especially in both the extent and acknowledgment of these rights. The Legal Rights of Students with Disabilities: International Perspectives examines the rights of disabled students in ten diverse countries on six continents. Written by leading experts in education law, this volume provides comparative insights to help meet the educational needs of disabled students. The book also offers strategies to manage the legal and educational complexities associated with special education.

Book Synopsis Legal History by : Frederick G. Kempin
Download or read book Legal History written by Frederick G. Kempin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legal History: Law and Social Change The nonprofessional study of law as a basic element in both liberal and business or technical education is today the subject of keen interest and a focal point of widening intellectual horizons. The fact that our legal institutions open avenues to the deeper understanding of our culture, our history, our polity and our economy is increasingly appreciated, while it remains generally accepted that basic analysis of the methods and substance of the common law is an essential element in technical training for business. The Foundations of Law in a Business Society Series offers a "one-foot shelf" of short, convenient, inexpensive and authoritative books written by scholars eminent in their respective fields, systematically covering the subjects of primary interest to all nonprofessional students of the law - both in the liberal and in the technical fields. Many of the titles will be useful also to law students, professional administrators, and general readers. From the teacher's viewpoint, the essence of the Series is flexibility and freedom of choice. No longer must courses be built around the limited content or restricted approach of a single text. No longer must subjects be presented in fixed order. No longer must the experimentally-minded teacher struggle to develop course materials from scattered sources. Now it is practical and convenient to offer a course specifically designed for given interests and aptitudes without loss of the unity and scope of a conventional textbook. Various teaching methods and conceptual orientations are provided for. Both text and case materials are included, and the latest doctrinal developments and statutory codifications are fully reflected in the several titles, each of which is complete in itself yet an integral part of a carefully-planned structure. The Foundations of Law in a Business Society Series covers the legal process, the history and philosophy of law, and the major areas of public and private law, emphasizing always the role of law in contemporary society and mankind's eternal quest for justice.
