A Short History of European Law brings to life 2,500 years of legal history, tying current norms to the circumstances of their conception. Tamar Herzog describes how successive legal systems built upon one another, from ancient times through the European Union. Roman law formed the backbone of each configuration, though the way it was used and reshaped varied dramatically from one century and place to the next. Only by considering Continental civil law and English common law together do we see how they drew from and enriched this shared tradition.

Leigh Gilmore provides a new account of #MeToo that reveals how storytelling by survivors propelled the call for sexual justice beyond courts and high-profile cases. At a time when the cultural conversation was fixated on appeals to legal and bureaucratic systems, narrative activism—storytelling in the service of social change—elevated survivors as authorities. Their testimony fused credibility and accountability into the #MeToo effect: uniting millions of separate accounts into an existential demand for justice and the right to be heard.

Is life getting on top of you? Do you dream of being stranded on an island just for some alone time? Are you currently standing on a chair, screaming, ‘Enough is enough!’? I get it. Your diary is full and your brain is racing. The hectic world we live in demands so much of you, it can be...

Racconto questa storia, la mia e quella di altre, non perché la ritenga particolarmente significativa, ma perché mi ha insegnato che esserci, come donne, nei luoghi decisionali, non basta affatto. Bisogna esserci con il coraggio e la consapevolezza del proprio diverso punto di vista. Avvocato, giudice, magistrato. Tre mestieri nobili, ambiti. Tre parole di uso comune. Tre sostantivi maschili per cui il corrispettivo femminile non è nemmeno contemplato dalla maggioranza delle persone, come se non fossero professioni cui una donna può dedicarsi, posizioni che una donna può sperare di occupare.

Our society has a technology problem. Many want to disconnect from screens but can't help themselves. These days we spend more time online than ever. Some turn to self-help measures to limit their usage, yet repeatedly fail, while parents feel particularly powerless to help their children. Unwired: Gaining Control over Addictive Technologies shows us a way out. Rather than blaming users, the book shatters the illusion that we autonomously choose how to spend our time online. It shifts the moral responsibility and accountability for solutions to corporations.

Trata-se de um estudo voltado ao reconhecimento do Direito Processual Constitucional brasileiro. Apesar da sua aura científica ser plena, seu corpo formal carece de reconhecimento. Mostrou-se aqui a autonomia científica do novel ramo de Direito Público, imbricado numa necessidade não só acadêmica, mas profissional. O processo constitucional precisa e deve ser codificado, trazendo assim objetividade, clareza e celeridade no seu modus operandi. Finalmente, o Direito Processual Constitucional é sim ramo de Direito Público, líquido e certo.

British prisoners have to endure the most inhumane and barbaric conditions imaginable, so why do so many of them keep going back? Former inmate and documentary maker Chris Atkins has spent the last six years tracking the fortunes of a dozen repeat offenders to understand why the state fails to keep them out of trouble. Featuring funny, wild and poignant stories, Time After Time exploits Chris's unprecedented access to the criminal underworld to understand why the system actually makes reoffending all but inevitable for ex prisoners.

In 1954, the Supreme Court's Brown decision ended segregated schooling in the United States, but regrettably, as documented in congressional testimony and transcripts, it also ended the careers of a generation of highly qualified and credentialed Black teachers and principals. In the Deep South and northern border states over the decades following Brown, Black schools were illegally closed and Black educators were displaced en masse. By engaging with the complicated legacy of the Brown decision, Leslie T. Fenwick illuminates a crucial chapter in education history.

On May 3, 1946, in St. Martinsville, Louisiana, a 17-year-old Black boy was scheduled for execution by electric chair. Willie Francis had been charged with murder; his trial had been brief; his death sentence never in doubt. When the executioners flipped the switch, Willie screamed and writhed as electricity coursed through his body. But Willie Francis did not die. Having miraculously survived, Willie was informed that the state would attempt to execute him a second time within a week.

Dr. Michael Baden has been involved in some of the most high-profile civil rights and police brutality cases in United States history, from the government's 1976 re-investigation of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., to the 2014 death of Michael Brown, whose case sparked the initial Ferguson protests that grew into the Black Lives Matter movement. The playbook hasn't changed since 1979, when Dr. Baden was demoted from his job as New York City's Chief Medical Examiner after ruling that the death of a Black man in police custody was a homicide.

Pendant douze jours, du 13 au 25 mai 1912, l’écrivain est à la fois acteur et spectateur de la justice humaine, machine admirable mais ô combien précaire, qui depuis longtemps suscite en lui une réflexion inquiète, presque obsessionnelle.

Bizarro is a must-listen tale of the unprecedented prosecution of Burton Ritchie and Ben Galecki, the Florida-based founders of a sprawling "spice" (synthetic cannabinoid) operation. With this book, journalist and former New York City narcotics prosecutor Jordan S. Rubin exposes a Reagan-era law called the Analogue Act, which targets dealers selling drugs that are "substantially similar" to controlled substances—an unwieldy law that produces erratic results in court.

In 1986, the SEC and the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York began an investigation into Michael Milken, Drexel Burnham Lambert, and its High Yield and Convertible Bond Department, a department Michael created and was head of. Michael was the most successful and innovative financier of his time. Drexel, an upstart investment bank was also the most successful securities firm on Wall Street, thanks to Michael.

El capitalismo está codificado por abogados. Esta es la conclusión a la que ha llegado la jurista Katharina Pistor. El empresario multimillonario y la gran fábrica como imagen del capitalismo es posible que esté desfasada. Hoy en día la producción industrial ha perdido su hegemonía frente al sector financiero, un sector que conoce bien las reglas del juego, porque muchas de ellas las ha fomentado.
