Which was the last country to abolish slavery? Which is the only amendment to the U.S. Constitution ever to be repealed? How did King Henry II of England provide a procedural blueprint for criminal law? These are just a few of the thought-provoking questions addressed in this beautifully illustrated book. Join author Michael H. Roffer as he explores 250 of the most fundamental, far-reaching, and often-controversial cases, laws, and trials that have profoundly changed our world—for good or bad. Offering authoritative context to ancient documents as well as today’s hot-button issues, The Law Book presents a comprehensive look at the rules by which we live our lives. It covers such diverse topics as the Code of Hammurabi, the Ten Commandments, the Trial of Socrates, the Bill of Rights, women’s suffrage, the insanity defense, and more. Roffer takes us around the globe to ancient Rome and medieval England before transporting us forward to contemporary accounts that tackle everything from civil rights, surrogacy, and assisted suicide to the 2000 U.S. presidential election, Google Books, and the fight for marriage equality. Organized chronologically, the entries each consist of a short essay and a stunning full-color image, while the “Notes and Further Reading” section provides resources for more in-depth study. Justice may be blind, but this collection brings the rich history of the law to light.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Download Is International Law International? Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This book takes the reader on a sweeping tour of the international legal field to reveal some of the patterns of difference, dominance, and disruption that belie international law's claim to universality. Pulling back the curtain on the "divisible college of international lawyers," Anthea Roberts shows how international lawyers in different states, regions, and geopolitical groupings are often subject to distinct incoming influences and outgoing spheres of influence in ways that reflect and reinforce differences in how they understand and approach international law. These divisions manifest themselves in contemporary controversies, such as debates about Crimea and the South China Sea. Not all approaches to international law are created equal, however. Using case studies and visual representations, the author demonstrates how actors and materials from some states and groups have come to dominate certain transnational flows and forums in ways that make them disproportionately influential in constructing the "international." This point holds true for Western actors, materials, and approaches in general, and for Anglo-American (and sometimes French) ones in particular. However, these patterns are set for disruption. As the world moves past an era of Western dominance and toward greater multipolarity, it is imperative for international lawyers to understand the perspectives and approaches of those coming from diverse backgrounds. By taking readers on a comparative tour of different international law academies and textbooks, the author encourages them to see the world through the eyes of others -- an essential skill in this fast changing world of shifting power dynamics and rising nationalism.

Excerpt from The First Book of World Law: A Compilation of the International Conventions to Which the Principal Nations Are Signatory, With a Survey of Their Significance Two reasons stand forth why the time demands such a book as this. One is historical. In the progress of events certain international conferences have been held. In the beginning those conferences were for the purpose of settling some specific subject of international complication. Latterly they have looked higher than the specific to the general. At the second conference at The Hague, that of 1907, there was distinctly before the minds of the delegates the prospect of future conferences upon broad lines, sufficient to include all of the nations with organized governments; and out of that development promises to come the organized political unity of mankind. A work covering the ground which this covers, or similar ground, is a necessity in keeping up with the development of the times. Though no person perhaps will wish to read it all, any more than he wishes to read all of his encyclopedia, yet any person who wishes to be well informed upon the political progress of the world must have the main facts at his command and be familiar with the specific lines of progress. Certain things have been done; certain records have been made in history; certain principles have been established in the progress of humanity. To be ignorant of these things is as unthinkable for all who keep informed upon human growth in civilization and organization, as ignorance of progress in physics is unthinkable on the part of a specialist in that department. Of even more importance as a motive for action is the political reason. When gunpowder was applied to war, warfare entered sharply upon a new era. In like manner, and with almost equal sharpness, a new era has opened in the relations of nations. No man is in his correct environment who does not recognize the truth and adjust himself to it.
