New. $34.95 A handy anthology of biblical quotations relating to subjects of legal interest. Organized by subject with introductory notes to most sections the book covers such topics as adoption bribery contracts crime and punishment divorce drinking government crimes against the State homicide husband and wife military law master and servant perjury prostitution oaths and wills. "The last section `Woman' is illustrative of the utility of this anthology. Its selection of texts from the two testaments forms a corrective to the notion that the alleged inferiority of the place of woman in life is to be debited to the Old Testament alone. The citations to her status are taken entirely from the New Testament. . . . The merits of the book in fact are outstandingly the admirable anthology of text which it provides in easily accessible form and the useful Introduction . . ." --Bertram B.

Originally published: Oxford: Clarendon Press; Oxford University Press 1990. xxii 177 pp. Reprinted 2002 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584772088; ISBN-10: 1584772085. Smythe sewn russet cloth bound hardcover. New. $25. Concerned with "rationalizing the rules" Preface p. v of constructive trusts this reappraisal of the English law of trusts discounts two major existing theses regarding the rules first that based on the North American experience they should be considered as instruments of restitution; and second that they are disorganized and advances Elias' new thesis that "the rules should be regarded as instruments for the rational furtherance of three good aims: 1 making disponors abide by their dispositions.2 making those who gain through loss to others give the gains up to those others.3 making those who inflict losses on others repair those losses." Preface p. v. Revision of the author's Ph.D. thesis at Oxford University. Prof. Lionel Smith a distinguished international expert in the law of trusts applauds this work: "Elias' book Explaining Constructive Trusts marks an important landmark in the development of this legal institution. Elias explained and ultimately rejected two extreme ways of understanding the constructive trust. On the one hand is the thesis still widely accepted in North America that all constructive trusts arise to prevent unjust enrichment. On the other hand is the traditional view still popular in England that constructive trusts respond to such a wide range of situations that it is impossible to classify them in any meaningful way in terms of their causative events. Elias developed an intermediate thesis in which the known constructive trusts could be grouped into coherent but differentiated categories. Some do indeed arise to prevent unjust enrichment; but others arise to perfect a party's intention in relation to the disposition of his assets; and still other cases in which the language of constructive trust have been used are actually cases of compensation for loss wrongfully caused. Much of the subsequent work on understanding constructive trusts has been built on these foundations. unknown books

This volume reprints the Storrs lectures delivered by Emery 1840-1920 at Yale University in 1914. Emery's profound knowledge of constitutional law and keen interest in philosophy and history are clearly evident here. Beginning with conceptions of justice in Antiquity and in the Judeo-Christian tradition Emery develops a general theory of rights and uses it as a basis for his definition of justice. His other lectures deal with the securing of justice. Influenced perhaps by the outbreak of hostilities in Europe Emery asserts that the United States has created the finest system yet for its preservation. "It is most emphatically a book which once read is kept on hand for a re-reading." H.W.C. Yale L.J. 24: 263 as cited in Marke A Catalogue of the Law Collection at New York University 1953 191.

Originally published: Jersey City: Frederick D. Linn & Company 1888. lxviii 871 pp. Reprinted 2006 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584775980; ISBN-10: 158477598X. Hardcover. New. $39.95 Reprint of the first American edition. While working as the American editor of Maxwell's On the Interpretation of Statutes 1875 Endlich uncovered numerous discrepancies between English and American practice. Transforming the work to focus more carefully on American law Endlich was instrumental in exposing the varieties of judicial interpretation. Notable for an exhaustive discussion of the permutations courts must adopt to reconcile the practical realities of cases with the static letter of the law the work remains invaluable as a catholicon for those who insist on the imposition of a single standard. unknown books

He was found guilty and was tragically executed the following year. Shebbearre 1709-1788 a pamphleteer and contrarian wrote numerous tracts during the political crises of 1755-56 attacking the misadventures of the English government abroad. None according to Shebbearre were more blatantly wrongheaded than the trial of John Byng. Shebbearre's perceived lack of patriotism landed him in prison and he was roundly criticized and lampooned by the likes of Johnson Smollett and Griffith. Johnson eventually sided with Shebbearre in the Byng matter and approvingly reviewed An Appeal to the People in the Literary Magazine in October 1756. ESTC attributes An Appeal to John Byng himself and he did write pamphlets in his own defense but both Hanley and Eddy show convincing evidence that this was indeed by Shebbearre. <br/><br/> London: Printed for J.

Dutton 1906. x 384 pp. Reprinted 1998 2010 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781886363526; ISBN-10: 1886363528. Hardcover. New. $27.95 This pioneering work collects an amazing assemblage of court cases in which animals have been named as defendants--chickens rats field mice bees gnats and in 34 recorded instances pigs among others-- providing insight into such modern issues as animal rights capital punishment and social and criminal theory. Evans suggests an intriguing distinction between trials of specific animals or particular crimes such as the "murder" of an infant by a pig and trials for larger catastrophic events such as plagues and infestations. In the latter case Evans suggests a parallel to witchcraft. unknown books
