Civil Procedure
Civil Procedure: Cases and Problems, Seventh Edition by Barbara Allen Babcock, Toni M. Massaro, Norman W. Spaulding, and new co-author Myriam Gilles (the #5 most cited civil procedure scholar in the country) is the ideal casebook for the modern Civil Procedure course. With lightly-edited cases, both canonical and contemporary, and engaging hypothetical problems, the Seventh Edition of Civil Procedure: Cases and Problems promotes student understanding of modern procedure, the adversary system and alternatives, the relationship between substance and procedure, and systemic problems in access to justice. This casebook pioneered the “due process approach” to the study of procedure and is des...

Five Miles Away, A World Apart
How is it that half a century after Brown v. Board of Education--and in spite of increased funding for urban schools and programs like No Child Left Behind--educational opportunities for blacks and whites in America still remain so unequal? In Five Miles Away, A World Apart, James Ryan provides a sobering answer to this question by tracing the fortunes of two schools in Richmond, Virginia--one suburban, relatively affluent, and mostly white, and the other urban, relatively poor, and mostly black. Ryan shows how court rulings against desegregation in the 1970s laid the groundwork for the massive disparities between urban and suburban public school districts that persist to this day. The Nixon...
Privatizing Justice
While the use of arbitration in the private sector has grown dramatically in recent decades, arbitration itself is not new. Yet the practice today looks very different than it did at its origins. How did arbitration shift from providing a low cost, less adversarial, and more efficient way of handling disputes between relative equals to a private, non-reviewable, and compulsory forum for resolving disputes between individuals and corporations that almost always favors the latter? Privatizing Justice examines the broader institutional, political, and legal dynamics that shaped this century-long transformation and explains why the system that emerged has shifted power to corporations, exacerbated inequality, and eroded democracy.
Juger en Amérique et en France
Comment raisonnent vraiment juges et juristes américains ? Valeur du procès, rapport entre vérité et preuve, rôle du parquet, mission du juge, nature du jury, fonction de la peine, voire sens de la justice : sur tous ces points essentiels, pratiques et discours diffèrent considérablement aux États-Unis, terre de common law, et en France. Pourquoi ces différences ? Quelles sont leurs origines ? Sur quelles conceptions du droit et de la justice se fondent-elles ? À l’heure où certains redoutent une " américanisation " de notre droit tandis que d’autres déplorent la sclérose de notre justice, un livre indispensable. Membre du comité de rédaction de la revue Esprit, Antoine Garapon dirige l’Institut des hautes études sur la justice. Il a notamment publié Le Gardien des promesses, Bien juger, Et ce sera justice !, ainsi que Des crimes qu’on ne peut ni punir ni pardonner. Juriste formé en Grèce, en France et aux États-Unis, Ioannis Papadopoulos est chargé de mission à l’IHEJ, et enseigne à Paris-I et à l’IEP Paris. Il a notamment publié Pratiques juridiques interprétatives et herméneutique littéraire et La Peine de mort.
The Black Tax
Revealing a history that is deep, broad, and infuriating, The Black Tax casts a bold light on the racist practices long hidden in the shadows of America’s tax regimes. American taxation is unfair, and it is most unfair to the very people who critically need its support. Not only do taxpayers with fewer resources—less wealth, power, and land—pay more than the well-off, but they are forced to fight for their rights within an unjust system that undermines any attempts to improve their position or economic standing. In The Black Tax, Andrew W. Kahrl reveals the shocking history and ruinous consequences of inequitable and predatory tax laws in this country—above all, widespread and devast...
Teaching Law
This book suggests reforms to improve legal education and responds to concerns that law schools eschew the study of justice.
Bong Hits 4 Jesus
In January 2002, for the first time, the Olympic Torch Relay visited Alaska on its way to the Winter Games. When the relay runner and accompanying camera cars passed Juneau-Douglas High School, senior Joseph Frederick and several friends unfurled a fourteen-foot banner reading "BONG HiTS 4 JESUS." An in-depth look at student rights within a public high school, this book chronicles the events that followed: Frederick's suspension, the subsequent suit against the school district, and, ultimately, the escalation of a local conflict into a federal case. Brought to life through interviews with the principal figures in the case, Bong Hits 4 Jesus is a gripping tale of the boundaries of free speech in an American high school.
