May It Please the Court: Live Recordings and Transcripts of Landmark Oral Arguments Made Before the Supreme Court Since 1955
Descriere: Until The New Press first published "May It Please the Court" in 1993, few Americans knew that every case argued before the Supreme Court since 1955 had been recorded. The original book-and-tape set was a revelation to readers and reviewers, quickly becoming a bestseller and garnering praise across the nation.
"May It Please the Court" includes both live recordings and transcripts of oral arguments in twenty-three of the most significant cases argued before the Supreme Court in the second half of the twentiethcentury. This edition makes the recordings available on an MP3 audio CD. Through the voices of some of the nation's most important lawyers and justices, including Thurgood Marshall, Archibald Cox, and Earl Warren, it offers a chance to hear firsthand our justice system at work, in the highest court of the land.
Cases included: "Gideon v. Wainwright" (right to counsel) "Abington School District v. Schempp" (school prayer) "Miranda v. Arizona" ("the right to remain silent") "Roe v. Wade" (abortion rights) "Edwards v. Aguillard" (teaching "creationism") "Regents v. Bakke" (reverse discrimination) "Wisconsin v. Yoder" (compulsory schooling for the Amish) "Tinker v. Des Moines" (Vietnam protest in schools) "Texas v. Johnson" (flag burning) "New York Times v. United States" (Pentagon Papers) "Cox v. Louisiana" (civil rights demonstrations) "Communist Party v. Subversive Activities Control Board" (freedom of association) "Terry v. Ohio" ("stop and frisk" by police) "Gregg v. Georgia" (capital punishment) "Cooper v. Aaron" (Little Rock school desegregation) "Heart of Atlanta Motel v. United States" (public accommodations) "Palmer v. Thompson" (swimming pool integration) "Loving v. Virginia" (interracial marriage) "San Antonio v. Rodriguez" (equal funding for public schools) "Bowers v. Hardwick" (homosexual rights) "Baker v. Carr" ("one person, one vote") "United States v. Nixon" (Watergate tapes) "DeShaney v. Winnebago County" (child abuse)

Don't Pee on My Leg and Tell Me It's Raining: America's Toughest Family Court Judge Speaks Out
n we get some reality in here?ߡsks Judy Sheindlin, former supervising judge for Manhattan Family Court. For twenty-four years she has laid down the law as she understands it: ● If you want to eat, you have to work. ● If you have children, you'd better support them. If you break the law, you have to pay. If you tap the public purse, you'd better be accountable. Now she abandons all judicial restraint in a scathing critique of the system - filled with realistic hard-nosed alternatives to our bloated welfare bureaucracy and our soft-on-crime laws.

The Myth of Moral Justice: Why Our Legal System Fails to Do What's Right
We are obsessed with watching television shows and feature films about lawyers, reading legal thrillers, and following real-life trials. Yet, at the same time, most of us don't trust lawyers and hold them and the legal system in very low esteem. In The Myth of Moral Justice , law professor and novelist Thane Rosenbaum suggests that this paradox stems from the fact that citizens and the courts are at odds when it comes to their definitions of justice. With a lawyer's expertise and a novelist's sensability, Rosenbaum tackles complicated philosophical questions about our longing for moral justice. He also takes a critical look at what our legal system does to the spirits of those who must come before the law, along with those who practice within it.
