    THE PROOF. USE OF EVIDENCE IN LAW
    FREDERICK SCHAUER
    In a world awash in “fake news,” where public figures make unfounded assertions as a matter of course, a preeminent legal theorist ranges across the courtroom, the scientific laboratory, and the insights of philosophers to explore the nature of evidence and show how it is credibly established. In the age of fake news, trust and truth are hard to come by. Blatantly and shameless...

    PETER K. BOL
    "This book is set in one locality, Wuzhou (later Jinhua), a prefecture in China's Zhejiang province, from the twelfth through the sixteenth century.

Why did they do this? L...

  • THE LIVING PRESIDENCY
    THE LIVING PRESIDENCY
    PRAKASH, S.
    Liberal scholars and politicians routinely denounce the imperial presidency—a self-aggrandizing executive that has progressively sidelined Congress. Yet the same people invariably extol the virtues of a living Constitution, whose meaning adapts with the times. Saikrishna Bangalore Prakash argues that these stances are fundamentally incompatible. A constitution prone to informal...

  • LAW AND LEVIATHAN: REDEEMING THE ADMINISTRATIVE STATE
    LAW AND LEVIATHAN: REDEEMING THE ADMINISTRATIVE STATE
    CASS R. SUNSTEIN / ADRIAN VERMEULE
    From two legal luminaries, a highly original framework for restoring confidence in a government bureaucracy increasingly derided as "the deep state. Is the modern administrative state illegitimate? Unconstitutional? Unaccountable? Dangerous? Intolerable? American public law has long been riven by a persistent, serious conflict, a kind of low-grade cold war, over these questions...

  • RECONSTRUCTING DEMOCRACY
    RECONSTRUCTING DEMOCRACY
    TAYLOR, CH. /   / NANZ, P. /   / TAYLOR, M.
    Across the world, democracies are suffering from a disconnect between the people and political elites. In communities where jobs and industry are scarce, many feel the government is incapable of understanding their needs or addressing their problems. The resulting frustration has fueled the success of destabilizing demagogues. To reverse this pattern and restore responsible gov...

  • JUSTICE IN TRANSACTIONS
    JUSTICE IN TRANSACTIONS
    BENSON, P.
    Legal thinkers typically justify contract law on the basis of economics or promissory morality. But Peter Benson takes another approach. He argues that contract is best explained as a transfer of rights governed by a conception of justice. The result is a comprehensive theory of contract law congruent with Rawlsian liberalism. ...

  • EQUAL JUSTICE
    EQUAL JUSTICE
    WILMOT-SMITH, F.
    It cannot be fair that wealthy people enjoy better legal outcomes. That is why Frederick Wilmot-Smith argues that justice requires equal access to legal resources. At his most radical, he urges us to rethink the centrality of the market to legal systems, so that those without means can secure justice and the rich cannot escape the law’s demands. ...

    Critics have maintained that John Rawls’s theory of justice is unrealistic and undemocratic. Andrius Gališanka’s incisive intellectual biography argues that in misunderstanding the origins and development of Rawls’s argument, previous narratives fail to explain the novelty of his philosophical approach and so misunderstand his political vision. ...

  • THE RIGHT TO DO WRONG
    THE RIGHT TO DO WRONG
    MARK OSIEL
    Common morality--in the form of shame, outrage, and stigma--has always been society's first line of defense against ethical transgressions. Social mores crucially complement the law, Mark Osiel shows, sparing us from oppressive formal regulation. Much of what we could do, we shouldn't--and we don't. We have a free-speech right to be offensive, but we know we will face outrage i...

    PITTS, J.
    It is commonly believed that international law originated in relations among European states that respected one another as free and equal. In fact, as Jennifer Pitts shows, international law was forged at least as much through Europeans’ domineering relations with non-European states and empires, leaving a legacy still visible in the unequal structures of today’s international ...
