PRIVATIZING JUSTICE
None
No Day in Court
We are now more than half a century removed from height of the rights revolution, a time when the federal government significantly increased legal protection for disadvantaged individuals and groups, leading in the process to a dramatic expansion in access to courts and judicial authority to oversee these protections. Yet while the majority of the landmark laws and legal precedents expanding access to justice remain intact, less than two percent of civil cases are decided by a trial today. What explains this phenomenon, and why it is so difficult to get one's day in court? No Day in Court examines the sustained efforts of political and legal actors to scale back access to the courts in the d...
Alt-Labor and the New Politics of Workers' Rights
Over the last half century, two major developments have transformed the nature of workers’ rights and altered the pathways available to low-wage workers to combat their exploitation. First, while national labor law, which regulates unionization and collective bargaining, has grown increasingly ineffective, employment laws establishing minimal workplace standards have proliferated at the state and local levels. Second, as labor unions have declined, a diversity of small, under-resourced nonprofit “alt-labor” groups have emerged in locations across the United States to organize and support marginalized workers. In Alt-Labor and the New Politics of Workers’ Rights, political scientist D...
In Praise of Litigation
In Praise of Litigation explains how civil society gains from litigation and why it is ultimately a social good.
Self-Representation im Common Law
Ein Blick in Rechtsordnungen des Common Law zeigt, dass sich anwaltliche Vertretung und gesetzlicher Anwaltszwang im Zivilprozess nicht von selbst verstehen. Die Möglichkeit, sich selbst vor Gericht zu vertreten, wird dort als elementares Recht der Parteien angesehen und in der Praxis vielfach wahrgenommen. Das Werk untersucht den in Deutschland bisher wenig beachteten Problemkreis der self-representation aus einer rechtsvergleichenden Perspektive mit Schwerpunkt auf US-amerikanisches und englisches Recht. Da der Verzicht auf Anwälte zu Herausforderungen für die Justiz und die Chancengleichheit der Parteien führt, werden Vorschläge zur Verbesserung der Stellung nichtvertretener Parteien, auch anhand des deutschen Beispiels unterbreitet.

Building an American Empire
How American westward expansion was governmentally engineered to promote the formation of a white settler nation Westward expansion of the United States is most conventionally remembered for rugged individualism, geographic isolationism, and a fair amount of luck. Yet the establishment of the forty-eight contiguous states was hardly a foregone conclusion, and the federal government played a critical role in its success. This book examines the politics of American expansion, showing how the government's regulation of population movements on the frontier, both settlement and removal, advanced national aspirations for empire and promoted the formation of a white settler nation. Building an Amer...
