Soviet leaders and commentators now are placing great emphasis on the need to create a socialist "law-based state in the USSR in order to free people from the repressive legacy of Stalinism and enable them to contribute more fully to rebuilding their economy and society.

The remarkable life of a lawyer at the forefront of civil and human rights since the 1960s By the time he was 26, Michael Tigar was a legend in legal circles well before he would take on some of the highest-profile cases of his generation. In his first US Supreme Court case—at the age of 28—Tigar won a unanimous victory that freed thousands of Vietnam War resisters from prison. Tigar also led the legal team that secured a judgment against the Pinochet regime for the 1976 murders of Pinochet opponent Orlando Letelier and his colleague Ronni Moffitt in a Washington, DC car bombing. He then worked with the lawyers who prosecuted Pinochet for torture and genocide. A relentless fighter of injustice—not only as a human rights lawyer, but also as a teacher, scholar, journalist, playwright, and comrade—Tigar has been counsel to Angela Davis, Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin (H. Rap Brown), the Chicago Eight, and leaders of the Black Panther Party, to name only a few. It is past time that Michael Tigar wrote his memoir. Sensing Injustice: A Lawyer's Life in the Battle for Change is a vibrant literary and legal feat. In it, Tigar weaves powerful legal analysis and wry observation through the story of his remarkable life. The result is a compelling narrative that blends law, history, and progressive politics. This is essential reading for lawyers, for law students, for anyone who aspires to bend the law toward change.

Life is bleak and days are insufferable under the dictatorship of the communist regime, as they condition the minds of their subjects by any means necessary. Within Romania's borders, where you are born is where your fate is decided behind its blackout curtains. However, devoted father and husband, David Savin, is not one to be easily beaten into submission. Craving the American dream and new beginnings, David finds allies in unlikely places as well as among old friends. With his beloved brother and late father waiting for him on American soil, he has nothing to lose and much to gain. David will put everything at risk to ensure that all loose ends are tied before daring the unspeakable. Still, there's much room for error in the cramped quarters of an attic in a bustling railcar. The Blue Tears "" Chains and Love is a harrowing novel based on a true story set in the 1980s, during the cruel reign of Nicolae Ceaușescu. In endeavoring to fight for his freedom, David also learns that love is a fine fight to be won as his heart is tormented by his affections for Katie, the girl who cries sapphire tears. Full of wrenching suspense and thrills, as well as brutal interrogations, heart-stopping betrayal, fierce love, and even greater sacrifice, you'll never know what's to come next or who to trust.

What role did the courts play in the demise of Germany's first democracy and Hitler's rise to power? Courtroom to Revolutionary Stage challenges the orthodox interpretation of Weimar political justice. Henning Grunwald argues that an exclusive focus on reactionary judges and a preoccupation with number-crunching verdicts has obscured precisely that aspect of trials most fascinating to contemporary observers: their drama. Drawing on untapped sources and material previously inaccessible in English, Grunwald shows how an innovative group of party lawyers transformed dry legal proceedings into spectacular ideological clashes. Supported by powerful party legal offices (which have hitherto escaped scholarly notice almost entirely), they developed a sophisticated repertoire of techniques at the intersection of criminal law, politics, and public relations. Harnessing the emotional appeal of tens of thousands of trials, Communists and (emulating them) National Socialists institutionalized party legal aid in order to build their ideological communities. Defendants turned into martyrs, trials into performances of ideological self-sacrifice, and the courtroom into 'revolutionary stage', as one prominent party lawyer put it. It is this political justice as 'revolutionary stage' that most powerfully impacted Weimar political culture. While it helps to explain Weimar's demise, this argument about the theatricality of justice transcends interwar Germany. Trials were compelling not because they offered instruction about the revolutionary struggle, but because in a sense they were the revolutionary struggle. The ideological struggle, their message ran, left no room for fairness, no possibility of a 'neutral platform': justice was unattainable until the Republic was destroyed.

The social organization of criminal courts is the theme of this collection of articles. The volume provides contributions to three levels of social organization in criminal courts: (1) the macro-level involving external economic, political and social forces (Joachim J. Savelsberg; Raymond Michalowski; Mary E. Vogel; John Hagan and Ron Levi); (2) the meso-level consisting of formal structures, informal cultural norms and supporting agencies in an interlocking organizational network (Malcolm M. Feeley; Lawrence Mohr; Jo Dixon; Jeffrey T. Ulmer and John H. Kramer), and (3) the micro-level consisting of interactional orders that emerge from the social discourses and categorizations in multiple layers of bargaining and negotiation processes (Lisa Frohmann; Aaron Kupchik; Michael McConville and Chester Mirsky; Bankole A. Cole). An editorial introduction ties these levels together, relating them to a Weberian sociology of law.

The Best I Could traces the life and career of Subhas Anandan, an advocate whose tireless devotion to the Singapore criminal justice system is legendary. In this highly personal autobiography, first published in 2009, Subhas describes not only the many sensational cases he covered, including those of Took Leng How, Anthony Ler and Ah Long San, but also his views on mandatory death sentences and police entrapment.' Subhas Anandan, who passed away in January 2015 surely was the face of criminal defense in Singapore. But why did he choose to represent clients who were to all intents and purposes guilty? And were the criminals he represented the monsters they were made out to be? Did he ever feel sorry for the clients he represented? What were his views on the death penalty, and which parts of the legal system did he want reformed? Read all about this in The Best I Could."

This book traces the development of the rule of law in Georgia since its independence and speculates on its future direction. It does so by focusing on changes in the legal profession after 1991. Intriguingly, the book, which is based on extensive field-work, concludes that culture and informal regulation are key to understanding how Georgian lawyers are governed, or rather govern themselves. Indeed, for several years after independence from the Soviet Union there was no functioning law on attorneys; informal regulation, based on the importance of reputation and networks, was the only sort of regulation. Other topics addressed in the book include Georgia's legal history, its current human rights situation, theories of professionalization, and the link between law and development. The book also compares the Georgian experience to that country's South Caucasian neighbors - Armenia and Azerbaijan - thus rounding the book out as a regional study.

Emigrierte jüdische Juristen, Historiker, Archivare und Aktivisten und ihre individuellen Zugänge zum humanitären Völkerrecht. Emigrierte jüdisch-europäische Juristen waren im 20. Jahrhundert wichtige Träger eines rechtlichen Internationalismus und interkultureller Konzepte im Völkerrechtsdenken, die teilweise in die Nachkriegsdiskurse einflossen, vielfach aber auch vergessen oder an den Rand gedrängt wurden. Der interdisziplinäre Band konzentriert sich auf eine Reihe internationaler Juristen, Historiker, Archivare und Aktivisten und deren individuelle Zugänge zum humanitären Völkerrecht. Mit Hilfe eines biografischen Zugangs werden subjektive Erfahrungen wie akademische Sozialisation, ideologische und religiöse Überzeugungen, soziale Marginalisierung, politische bzw. rassistische Verfolgung und erzwungene Auswanderung in den Blick genommen. Zudem wird danach gefragt, inwiefern sich solche Erfahrungen in Vorstellungen von Universalismus und Partikularismus, Kosmopolitismus und Souveränität, nationaler Selbstbestimmung, Staatsbürgerschaft und Staatenlosigkeit, kollektiven Minderheitenrechten und individuellen Menschenrechten niederschlugen. English: Jewish émigré lawyers, historians, archivists and activists and their individual approaches to International Humanitarian Law. Jewish-European émigré lawyers in the twentieth century were important agents of legal internationalism and served as carriers of intercultural concepts of international legal thought; concepts, which fed into postwar discourses, but were also often forgotten or marginalized. This interdisciplinary volume focusses on a range of international lawyers, historians, archivists and activists and their individual approaches towards International Humanitarian Law. It uses a biographical lens to analyze the impact of subjective experiences like academic socialization, ideological and religious viewpoints (Weltanschauung), social marginalization, political and racial persecution, and forced emigration. Moreover, it investigates the extent to which the emigrants' experiences shaped typical notions of twentieth century politics and law, such as universalism and particularism, cosmopolitanism and sovereignty, national self-determination, citizenship and statelessness, collective minority rights, and individual human rights.
