Legal Ethics

Combining rigorous analysis of the professional rules of lawyer conduct with extensive interdisciplinary materials on the legal profession and ethics, this casebook offers a unique perspective on the professional challenges facing contemporary lawyers--and their opportunity to promote the public good.

The eighth edition also includes extensive revisions that provide new analysis of core professional rules, enhanced organizational formats, and critical additions to the case law and professional literature. Key changes include expanded coverage of how the lawyer-client relationship begins and ends; important updates to the materials on confidentiality, conflicts of interest, and market regulation; recent media clips; and new research on access to justice, diversity and inclusion , lawyer well being and legal education.

Criminal Procedure Stories

Unlike casebooks, this title provides rich narrative detail of the human stories -- and the social, political, and legal contexts -- of notable Supreme Court cases on criminal justice. It includes details not available elsewhere, and offers the insights of respected scholars who are experts on the particular cases and issues they address. This book will greatly enhance the teaching both of police practices (a.k.a "Cops and Robbers") and of criminal adjudication (a.k.a "Bail to Jail")

International Criminal Law

Intersections and Contradictions

This engaging primer presents the field of International Criminal Law (ICL) in new and accessible ways. It provides a concise summary of key ICL doctrines while also raising novel and interdisciplinary perspectives. It targets a wide range of audiences, including law and other graduate students studying international law and related disciplines, such as human rights, transitional justice, peacebuilding, and conflict resolution. The book will also be useful for those working in the field--including diplomats, mediators, government officials, and negotiators--who need to understand the foundations and core concepts of ICL. It offers a useful primer for someone new to the field, and provides thought-provoking discussions for more seasoned practitioners. Part I introduces the domain of ICL. Specific chapters are devoted to the different strands of the field's history; the web of institutions that apply and interpret ICL; how the rules of international law generally, and ICL in particular, are created; theories that attempt to explain why certain crimes are subject to international regulation; and the unique challenges posed by the principle of legality within ICL. Part II is devoted to the intersecting elements of the major crimes recognized by international law (war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, aggression, and terrorism), the unique development of modes of liability under international law (including superior responsibility, complicity, co-perpetration, and joint criminal enterprise), and some of the defenses that might be deployed to block or mitigate liability (immunities, amnesties, and excuses). The text ends with two synthesis chapters. The first provides an in-depth case study of Syria to illustrate the way in which members of the international community can attempt to invoke, and block access to, the architecture of ICL and related accountability mechanisms. The second revisits some of the fundamental objectives underlying ICL, the more trenchant critiques of the project of international justice, and the breadth of creativity underlying alternative mechanisms developed under the cognate fields of transitional justice and conflict resolution. More than a hornbook, the text goes beyond a straight doctrinal discussion of ICL and offers insightful and provocative insights into the field. In so doing, it highlights points of intersection and divergence within core doctrines and offers a candid assessment of challenges in the field and opportunities for growth and development.

The book will also be useful for those working in the field--including diplomats, mediators, government officials, and negotiators--who need to understand the foundations and core concepts of ICL.

International Criminal Law and Its Enforcement, Cases and Materials

This casebook provides comprehensive treatment of international criminal law in a problem-oriented way. It draws widely from the jurisprudence of the various international and hybrid criminal tribunals, United Nations bodies, regional human rights institutions, domestic courts, alternative or traditional courts, and transitional justice institutions. Its focus is on the core international crimes within the jurisdiction of the ICC, supplemented by chapters on the standalone crimes of torture and terrorism. This edition includes substantially more material from the International Criminal Court and the revival of the hybrids model, including revised materials on the crime of aggression, new jurisdictional theories, and controversial recent jurisprudence.
