Introduction to Law and Legal Thinking
In Anthony D'Amato's writing, two passions merge: law and language. His eloquence - and hence the sheer readability of his writing - is virtually a byword among teachers and students alike. This introduction to law is far from basic in its coverage, yet it never becomes mired in tedious detail or lost in impenetrable fog. It is perhaps the only reader-friendly book available today that truly clarifies the deep and basic concepts of law in general, and American law in particular. It does not simply introduce the concepts; rather, it is an introduction to thinking about the concepts.
International Law Sources
Very few authors have ever had their collected papers published in a series of volumes. As far as we know, Anthony D’Amato is the first legal scholar to be accorded this signal honor. Martinus Nijhoff Publishers is pleased to announce the third volume of this acclaimed series. In this volume, the author updates his essays on sources and the foundational questions of international law with new commentary.
International Law
This book addresses the central issues in international law, beginning with the reality of international law itself, and extending through the use of force and coercion, the identification and enforcement of human rights, and the role of the individual versus the state. In the course of his analysis, Professor D'Amato discusses specific international incidents, such as the taking of American hostages in Tehran, the Contras War in Nicaragua, the war between Iran and Iraq, the Grenada invasion, the Israeli attack against the nuclear reactor in Iraq, and the "Homelands" policy affecting Blacks in Southern Africa.
International law and political reality. 1 (1996)
Among the topics that D Amato examines in these studies of the interrelationship between international law and political reality are wars and war crimes, nuclear weapons and technology, sanctions and terrorism, covert and humanitarian intervention, and group and autonomy rights. This is the first volume in a series of collected papers.
Jurisprudence
Jurisprudence For a Free Society is a remarkable contribution to legal theory. In its comprehensiveness & systematic elaboration, it stands among the major theories. It is also the most important jurisprudential statement to emerge in the post-war period. The pioneering work of Lasswell & McDougal on law & policy is already legendary. Most of the work produced by these scholars together & in collaboration with their students represent applications of their basic theory to a wide assortment of international & national legal & policy problems. Now, for the first time, the authoritative statement of their legal philosophy appears as a single volume. In Part I the authors develop their fundament...
The Doctor, The Murder, The Mystery
WINNER OF THE ANTHONY AND AGATHA AWARDS FOR BEST TRUE CRIME In 1968, Dr. John Branion was found guilty of murdering his wife in their posh Chicago home. After exhausting his appeals, he evaded authorities by fleeing to Africa. He was finally captured in 1983—but his case was far from over. It would take another seven years for Dr. Branion to finally win his freedom—and for those who prosecuted him to admit that he could not have committed the murder, and that they knew it all along. Acclaimed mystery writer Barbara D'Amato was drawn to this story two decades after the murder, as Dr. Branion languished in prison, ill and without hope. Her meticulous research repeatedly led her to one star...
A Coursebook in International Intellectual Property
This new coursebook begins with an overview of copyright, patents, trademarks & trade secrets under U.S. law & then looks through the "window on the world" to the rapidly developing treaty regimes, reciprocal international legislation, & international cases & controversies that attempt to balance the intellectual property needs of developed & developing nations. Students will learn not only that other nations have different perspectives on intellectual property law rights, but also that there is an area of international intellectual property that is not part of U.S. law -- the law of "cultural patrimony." It also offers an in-depth look at select topics such as the Internet, computer software, databases, the European Union & the impact of cultural rights on intellectual property.
Justice, Legitimacy, and Self-Determination
This book articulates a systematic vision of an international legal system grounded in the commitment to justice for all persons. It provides a probing exploration of the moral issues involved in disputes about secession, ethno-national conflict, 'the right of self-determination of peoples,' human rights, and the legitimacy of the international legal system itself. Buchanan advances vigorous criticisms of the central dogmas of international relations and international law, arguing that the international legal system should make justice, not simply peace, among states a primary goal, and rejecting the view that it is permissible for a state to conduct its foreign policies exclusively accordin...
International Law: Process and Prospect
Does international law exist, and is it real? How can the law of individual human rights be accommodated in an international legal system that is apparently addressed to nations and not to individuals? These are among the provocative questions grappled with in this highly articulate, enlightening and refreshing book. With an eye toward the 21st century, Anthony D'Amato provides a provocative tool for students and practitioners of international law. He draws on his experience to produce a highly lucid examination of the issues arising out of the process of intranational law formation and justification as applied to, and shaped by, some of the critical international issues of our day.
