Product Description
Written by leading authorities in history, philosophy, jurisprudence and political theory, the essays in this volume provide new insights into the variable and changing contents of the rights thinking and consciousness that lie at the core of American political culture and shape its central political institutions. Based on the current state of scholarly understanding and intended to provide a fresh sense of orientation into the complexities of the separate topics covered, the studies focus on two distinct "moments" in the American experience: the eighteenth-century period of founding that produced the Bill of Rights as an element in the Constitutional settlement, and the contemporary moment, marked by a new historical consciousness of the difficulties of interpreting rights in changing contexts and thus by the continuing search for a properly grounded philosophical jurisprudence adequate to meet the ethical, social, and political conflicts of the present.

Amazon.com Review
William Ayers brings a reporter's eye and an activist's heart to this well-written and profoundly disturbing book, A Kind and Just Parent: The Children of Juvenile Court. Ayers, who teaches offenders in Chicago's juvenile court system, is a brilliant storyteller, the damning fly on the wall. His book portrays the lives of his students--both within the juvenile temporary detention center and on the "outside." Ayers puts their stories into historical context; argues passionately about the roles of media, poverty, and neglect; refutes the idea of teenager as "superpredator"; and challenges parents--all of us--to ask the question, "Is this good enough for my child?" when determining the standard to use when we think of justice for kids.
Product Description
The author traces his five years as a teacher and observer of Chicago's Juvenile Court prison, the nation's first and largest institution of juvenile justice, and offers real-life portraits of its inner-city youths. Tour."

Product Description

In this alarming book, Fox News commentator Judge Napolitano makes the solid case that there is a pernicious and ever-expanding pattern of government abuse in America's criminal justice system, leading him to establish his general creed: "The government is not your friend." As an attorney, a law professor, a commentator, a judge, and now a successful television personality, Judge Napolitano has studied the system inside and out, and his unique voice has resonance and relevance. In this sensational book, Napolitano sets the record straight, speaking frankly from his own experiences and investigation about how government agencies will often arrest without warrant, spy without legal authority, imprison without charge, and kill without cause.

Product Description
An experienced family lawyer provides everything you need to know about divorce, separation, and annulment in thirteen cost-saving, information-packed chapters, jammed with insider-tips, proven strategies, and practical resources plus an extensive glossary. A must have, from-the-trenches manual based upon the author's years of hard-won experience, open this book to find information conveniently distilled to guide readers through the whole, world-shaking process. Each of the thirteen chapters is succinctly organized, providing concrete examples and dependable tips for the reader to implement in his/her own case.

Plus, this book deals with the current trends in divorce law ranging from new federal legislation concerning bankruptcy, taxes,pensions and the interstate collection of child support, to the "busting" or "enforcing" of prenuptial agreements, to dealing with domestic violence, and even the other "suits" within, or related to, the divorce action. These "cutting edge" issues are not even mentioned in most other books, much less addressed and explained.

"The Divorce Process: Empowerment Through Knowledge," is also an indispensable tool for those professionals (clergy, social workers, marriage counselors, therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, men's/women's/children's support groups, accountants, and even less experienced lawyers), who could benefit from an insider's point of view and are in contact with divorcing people.
