Lawyers in Society
Essays describing the legal profession in the civil law world.
Constitutionalism in the Americas
Constitutionalism in the Americas unites the work of leading scholars of constitutional law, comparative law and Latin American and U.S. constitutional law to provide a critical and provocative look at the state of constitutional law across the Americas today. The diverse chapters employ a variety of methodologies – empirical, historical, philosophical and textual analysis – in the effort to provide a comprehensive look at a generation of constitutional change across two continents.
Os Dornelles com raízes em São Borja
Este livro pretende contribuir para a busca dos antepassados de ramos da grande família Dornelles que viveram ou tiveram alguma relação com São Borja, Rio Grande do Sul, procurando-se principalmente seus ancestrais nascidos até o final do século XIX, quando cabia à Igreja Católica registrar nascimentos, casamentos, óbitos, perfilhações e testamentos. A ideia inicial era incluir todos os registros encontrados, mas logo foi percebida a impossibilidade disso, pois em muitos não havia informações suficientes para ligá-los aos filhos de João d’Ornelles e Catharina Ignacia, casal-del-Rei que em 1752 chegou no Rio Grande do Sul para colonizar as Missões.
The Internationalization of Palace Wars
How does globalization work? Focusing on Latin America, Yves Dezalay and Bryant G. Garth show that exports of expertise and ideals from the United States to Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Mexico have played a crucial role in transforming their state forms and economies since World War II. Based on more than 300 extensive interviews with major players in governments, foundations, law firms, universities, and think tanks, Dezalay and Garth examine both the production of northern exports such as neoliberal economics and international human rights law and the ways they are received south of the United States. They find that the content of what is exported and how it fares are profoundly shaped by...
The Paradox of Professionalism
This book is about the role of lawyers in constructing a just society. Its central objective is to provide a deeper understanding of the relationship between lawyers' commercial aims and public aspirations. Drawing on interdisciplinary and comparative perspectives, it explores whether lawyers can transcend self-interest to meaningfully contribute to systems of political accountability, ethical advocacy and distributional fairness. Its contributors, some of the world's leading scholars of the legal profession, offer evidence that although justice is possible, it is never complete. Ultimately, how much - and what type of - justice prevails depends on how lawyers respond to, and reshape, the political and economic conditions in which they practise. As the essays demonstrate, the possibility of justice is diminished as lawyers pursue self-regulation in the service of power; it is enhanced when lawyers mobilize - in the political arena, workplace and law school - to contest it.
Promises to Keep
During the past fifteen years, changes in technology have generated an extraordinary array of new ways in which music and movies can be produced and distributed. Both the creators and the consumers of entertainment products stand to benefit enormously from the new systems. Sadly, we have failed thus far to avail ourselves of these opportunities. Instead, much energy has been devoted to interpreting or changing legal rules in hopes of defending older business models against the threats posed by the new technologies. These efforts to plug the multiplying holes in the legal dikes are failing and the entertainment industry has fallen into crisis. This provocative book chronicles how we got into this mess and presents three alternative proposals--each involving a combination of legal reforms and new business models--for how we could get out of it.
Handbook of Global Legal Policy
Featuring a pragmatic approach to coping with the legal complications surrounding pretrial release, drug-related crime, and freedom of religion, among other issues, this timely reference presents a host of legal policy problems in diverse political and cultural settings throughout the world. Contributors bridge the academic gulf between worldwide and public policy studies, as well as the ideological gap between liberal and conservative attitudes toward constitutional law, individual liberty, public safety, and human rights. The authors emphasize the need for an integrated, "one-world" perspective in the international legal community, drawing on over 1200 references, tables, and illustrations.
Muitos outros
Artigos pequenos e muito convenientes de leitura, escritos por Joaquim Falcão, sobre múltiplos líderes pernambucanos. A maioria deles – quase todos – de importância além de Pernambuco. São líderes nacionais, como Fernando Lyra, Marco Maciel, e também internacionais, como Gilberto Freyre, Paulo Freire, João Cabral de Melo Neto. Os textos poderiam ser chamados de perfis, mas no fundo, representam um momento do líder em que, o autor, amplia e procura sublinhar sua importância, além da circunstância então vivida.
