Political Law

Pactos en la oscuridad, juegos sucios de compraventa de una absolución, amenazas a un juez, estratagemas para salvar a la infanta, guerra entre togas.... Pilar Urbano, periodista incisiva y valiente, se metió en el laberinto, conversó con fiscales, defensores, policías de la UDEF, testigos, agentes tributarios, e imputados. Y logró la gran exclusiva: el relato del juez Castro, en primera persona. Nos ofrece así un documento único; verdadero periodismo de investigación.

Despite a long-standing commitment to diversity and inclusion, creating a more diverse bar has been challenging for the legal profession. And this begs the question "why"? Does the profession find itself in the precarious position of having self-imposed barriers in place that work against its best efforts? Are outside factors beyond the profession's control inhibiting progress?

The daughter of Ed Law-Yone, daredevil proprietor of Rangoon Nation, Burma's leading postwar English-language daily, she experienced firsthand the perils and promises of a newly independent Burma.

There is a war going on for the future of our country. Most people know that. What they may not know is that if Christians lose, the result won't merely be enduring public policy we disagree with, it will be a prison sentence for those who oppose it. We've all seen the attack coming. First the Supreme Court said kids can't pray in school. Then the Ten Commandments were ripped from the classrooms.

On November 11, 2004, security guards stormed into the Cambridge University Law Faculty Library and pushed Christian Kim out in an act of official coercion. There was no justifiable cause. Due process was bypassed. A serious act of injustice was carried out along with much humiliation. In this audiobook, Christian Kim shares his thoughts on the experience, particularly in light of the historical struggles of people of color. Christian Kim discusses the implications of such acts of official coercion for individual rights and institutional discrimination.

In Prosecuting the President, Andrew Coan offers a highly engaging look at the long, mostly forgotten history of special prosecutors in American politics. For more than a century, special prosecutors have struck fear into the hearts of presidents, who have the power to fire them at any time. How could this be, Coan asks? And how could the nation entrust such a high responsibility to such subordinate officials? With vivid storytelling and historical examples, Coan demonstrates that special prosecutors can do much to protect the rule of law under the right circumstances.

Today, as one of the biggest cities in the country, Chicago means a lot of different things to different people, but the Windy City, as culturally rich as it is, has long been known for controversial political corruption and its gangster past. While those kinds of crimes are less prominent today, one recent documentary Chiraq provided a new chilling, sobering, and wildly unfortunate sobriquet for the city. For far too many of the city’s youth, the places they call home are just a few steps removed from an actual war zone.

If there was one technological group that has been in the news a relentless amount of times, it could be identified as the group dubbed the N.S.A.
