Freedoms Law

In this groundbreaking, powerfully reasoned, lucid work that is certain to provoke controversy, Harvard law professor Randall Kennedy takes on a highly complex issue in a way that no one has before. Kennedy uncovers the long-standing failure of the justice system to protect Blacks from criminals, probing allegations that Blacks are victimized on a widespread basis by racially discriminatory prosecutions and punishments, but he also engages the debate over the wisdom and legality of using racial criteria in jury selection.

Free speech as we know it comes less from the First Amendment than from a most unexpected source: Supreme Court justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. A lifelong skeptic, he disdained all individual rights, including the right to express one's political views. But in 1919, it was Holmes who wrote a dissenting opinion that would become the canonical affirmation of free speech in the United States.

The defense of human rights is often marked by ethical dilemmas, which are especially acute in Israel, where lawyers have for decades sought redress for the abuse of Palestinian rights in the country's High Court - that is, in the court of the abuser. In The Wall and the Gate, Michael Sfard chronicles this struggle - a story that has never before been fully told - and in the process engages the core principles of human rights legal ethics.

The story in this book offers a look inside the antinuclear movement and its recent successful campaign to ban the bomb. Ray Acheson narrates the journey of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons - from scrappy organizing to winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2017 and achieving a landmark UN treaty banning nuclear weapons - and developments in feminist disarmament activism.

When Americans think of freedom, they often picture the open road. Yet nowhere are we more likely to encounter the long arm of the law than in our cars. Sarah Seo reveals how the rise of the automobile led us to accept - and expect - pervasive police power. As Policing the Open Road makes clear, this radical transformation in the nature and meaning of American freedom has had far-reaching political and legal consequences.

As a young Christian minister, John Van Gelderen held to the letter of the law, focusing on separation from the world. Then, the Lord showed him that much of his Christian life was works oriented instead of Spirit-filled. John needed to change his focus from the law to the person of Jesus

Was Don Iván a Shaman, Magician, or Guru? What made him so influential for his time? Why did the most powerful consult him? How can it be that he was present in so many decisions in the world and, even so, the majority knew so little about him? The Anarchist is the personal diary of David, a twelve-year-old who hardly speaks. He does not have friends nor does he like to interact with others. His parents send him to therapy. However, the sessions are a failure; David refuses to communicate with the therapist. One day, while he is returning from school to his house, he meets Don Iván, a ...

Exercising my #right to #freespeech and #resist #tyranny. Mr. President, Say What?! sells for $17.76 (paper) because, once again, we need to declare our #independence from #tyrannical #reign. And $9.11 (Kindle) because, 🆘, #emergency #action is needed! Mr. President, Say What?! is a collection of Op-ed pieces. As the title would suggest sometimes what is broadcasted, whether on Twitter or verbally, is almost unbelievable. Maybe you, like me, would like to have an opportunity to speak directly to the President and suggest that he take some other course of action or, at least, tone down ...

A provocative history that reveals how guns - not abortion, race, or religion - are at the heart of America's cultural divide. Gunfight promises to be a seminal work in its examination of America's four-centuries-long political battle over gun control and the right to bear arms. Adam Winkler uses the landmark 2008 case District of Columbia v. Heller, which invalidated a law banning handguns in the nation's capital, as a springboard for a groundbreaking historical narrative.

The little-known and under-studied 1807 Insurrection Act was passed to give the president the ability to deploy federal military forces to fend off lawlessness and rebellion, but it soon became much more than the sum of its parts. Its power is integrally linked to the perceived threat of Black American equity in what lawyer and critic Hawa Allan demonstrates is a dangerous paradox. While the act was initially used to repress rebellion against slavery, during Reconstruction it was invoked by President Grant to quell white-supremacist uprisings in the South.

Carla Del Ponte won international recognition as Switzerland's attorney general when she pursued cases against the Sicilian mafia. In 1999, she answered the United Nations' call to become the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and for Rwanda. In her new role, Del Ponte confronted genocide and crimes against humanity head-on, struggling to bring to justice the highest-ranking individuals responsible for massive acts of violence in Rwanda, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Kosovo.

The National Rifle Association is unique in American life. Few other civic organizations are as old or as large. None is as controversial. It is largely due to the NRA that the US gun policy differs so extremely - some would say so tragically - from that of every other developed nation. But, as Frank Smyth shows, the NRA has evolved from an organization concerned above all with marksmanship - and which supported most government efforts around gun control for a hundred years - to one that resists all attempts to restrict guns in any way.

One in 10 American children has a parent under criminal justice supervision - incarcerated, on probation, or on parole. One in 33 American children - and one in eight African American children - goes to sleep without access to a parent because that parent is in jail. Despite these staggering numbers, the children of prisoners remain largely invisible to society. Journalist Nell Bernstein shows, through the deeply moving stories of real families, how the children of the incarcerated are routinely punished for their parents' status.

The universe responds to our feelings. This idea is crucial in manifestation—but when we try to put it into practice, things fall flat and we feel stuck. We can become afraid of what our fear is manifesting or defeated when our feelings aren’t positive enough. If your emotions aren’t flowing and your manifestation practice just isn’t working, Sherianna Boyle has good news: you can achieve a loving mastery of your emotions that will help you create the life you want.

Facebook has been adopted and loved by many for over a decade, and it has functioned with immunity under the guise of being an "American" company, despite violating billions of people's individual rights and national laws in every country that it's operational. FB makes money from its users' content and selling their data on the backend to advertising organizations, but somewhere between uploading content and trying to turn a profit, it has violated individual rights, as protected by international law, and national legislation, and its users and the organization have not been properly held ...
