The Criterion for Distinguishing Legal Opinions from Judicial Rulings and the Administrative Acts of Judges and Rulers
The first and much-needed English translation of a thirteenth-century text that shaped the development of Islamic law in the late middle ages. Scholars of Islamic law can find few English language translations of foundational Islamic legal texts, particularly from the understudied Mamluk era. In this edition of the Tamyiz, Mohammad Fadel addresses this gap, finally making the great Muslim jurist Shihab al-Din al-Qarafi’s seminal work available to a wider audience. Al-Qarafi’s examination of the distinctions among judicial rulings, which were final and unassailable, legal opinions, which were advisory and not binding, and administrative actions, which were binding but amenable to subsequent revision, remained standard for centuries and are still actively debated today.

The Qadi Al-Fadil
This is a historical novel written to introduce the young adult to the world of medieval Islam. The protagonist in this story, al-Qadi al-Fadil, started his career working for the chancery of Medieval Egypt, then functioned as a judge and finally ended up as the advisor to the Sultan Salah al-Din. This tale is based on a story that tells of how the famous Chancellor befriended the well-known Jewish physician philosopher Moses Maimonides. Moses, or Musa Ibn Maimun, as he was known in the Arab world, was born in Cordoba Spain, but moved with his father first to Morocco, where the whole family was apparently forced to convert to Islam, and then to Egypt. Importantly, it was as a member of the J...
Judge Dredd: Year One
Mega-City One, 2080. Judge Joe Dredd’s first year on the streets as a full-eagle Judge. Bred for justice, trained in law, Dredd’s no helpless rookie, but he’s not the seasoned veteran we know either. Three tales follow the first adventures of the future city’s greatest lawman. With an introduction by the Mighty Tharg! City Fathers: The brutal murder of a Justice Department-sanctioned spy uncovers something new and dangerous in the sector’s murky black market. Unless Dredd can stop it, chaos will be unleashed.

But when he gets in over his head, he has to risk everything on the word of a corrupt lawman and break every rule he has. Every rule but one...
