History of the Common Law

The Development of Anglo-American Legal Institutions

By: John H. Langbein,Renee Lettow Lerner,Bruce P. Smith

This introductory text explores the historical origins of the main legal institutions that came to characterize the Anglo-American legal tradition, and to distinguish it from European legal systems. The book contains both text and extracts from historical sources and literature. The book is published in color, and contains over 250 illustrations, many in color, including medieval illuminated manuscripts, paintings, books and manuscripts, caricatures, and photographs. Two great themes dominate the book: (1) the origins, development, and pervasive influence of the jury system and judge/jury relations across eight centuries of Anglo-American civil and criminal justice; and (2) the law/equity division, from the emergence of the Court of Chancery in the fourteenth century down through equity's conquest of common law in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The chapters on criminal justice explore the history of pretrial investigation, policing, trial, and sentencing, as well as the movement in modern times to nonjury resolution through plea bargaining. Considerable attention is devoted to distinctively American developments, such as the elective bench, and the influence of race relations on the law of criminal procedure. Other major subjects of this book include the development of the legal profession, from the serjeants, barristers, and attorneys of medieval times down to the transnational megafirms of twenty-first century practice; the literature of the law, especially law reports and treatises, from the Year Books and Bracton down to the American state reports and today's electronic services; and legal education, from the founding of the Inns of Court to the emergence and growth of university law schools in the United States.

Season of Change

Season of Change

By: J. Renee Himler

The chapters of “Season of Change” chronicle the formation and development of a friendship that has been described as a “David and Jonathon” relationship with the backdrop of a woman struggling with ovarian cancer. “Season of Change” differs from other books that have been written on the same subject by the following: first of all, an Oncology Certified Nurse (OCN) has written this. Secondly, and most importantly, throughout the book, the Gospel or Good News message of salvation is clearly presented. Thirdly, this book challenges the barriers between a Protestant and devout Catholic Sister. Spirituality is not embraced as a new concept to improve the health of the patient, but introduced as the way of life for each of the main characters, the nurse and the patient. Over all, the reader can conclude that the grace of God is sufficient for all our needs. As the story progresses, there is less emphasis on the temporal, physical, and more on the eternal spiritual. Basically, this book appeals to the individual diagnosed with cancer or other life-threatening chronic illness and those people, professional or lay, who care for cancer survivors. Numerous Protestants and Catholics are interested in reading this book to develop greater insight into what the other believes. I personally invite you to open the pages of “Season of Change” to celebrate the joys in the gift of friendship. Brew some tea and experience a corner of my world!

Invisible Rulers

The People Who Turn Lies into Reality

By: Renee DiResta

An “essential and riveting” (Jonathan Haidt) analysis of the radical shift in the dynamics of power and influence, revealing how the machinery that powered the Big Lie works to create bespoke realities revolutionizing politics, culture, and society. Renée DiResta’s powerful, original investigation into the way power and influence have been profoundly transformed reveals how a virtual rumor mill of niche propagandists increasingly shapes public opinion. While propagandists position themselves as trustworthy Davids, their reach, influence, and economics make them classic Goliaths—invisible rulers who create bespoke realities to revolutionize politics, culture, and society. Their work is driven by a simple maxim: if you make it trend, you make it true. By revealing the machinery and dynamics of the interplay between influencers, algorithms, and online crowds, DiResta vividly illustrates the way propagandists deliberately undermine belief in the fundamental legitimacy of institutions that make society work. This alternate system for shaping public opinion, unexamined until now, is rewriting the relationship between the people and their government in profound ways. It has become a force so shockingly effective that its destructive power seems limitless. Scientific proof is powerless in front of it. Democratic validity is bulldozed by it. Leaders are humiliated by it. But they need not be. With its deep insight into the power of propagandists to drive online crowds into battle—while bearing no responsibility for the consequences—Invisible Rulers not only predicts those consequences but offers ways for leaders to rapidly adapt and fight back.
