International Organizations: Politics, Law, Practice book pdf download By Ian Hurd

International organizations are at the heart of many global issues today. This new textbook looks at the leading international organizations and explains how they both shape and are shaped by international politics. The book examines three themes: the legal obligations that give international organizations their powers; the mechanisms that elicit compliance by their member states; and the practices of enforcement in the organization. Each chapter shows how international organizations work in practice and the interactions between them and their member states. This fresh text provides a comprehensive understanding of what international organizations do, how and why they do it, and the challenges they face.

Author: Bryan Stevenson

About the Author: Bryan Stevenson (born November 14, 1959) is an American lawyer, social justice activist, law professor at New York University School of Law, and the founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative. Based in Montgomery, Alabama, he has challenged bias against the poor and minorities in the criminal justice system, especially children. He has helped achieve United States Supreme Court decisions that prohibit sentencing children under 18 to death or to life imprisonment without parole. He has assisted in cases that have saved dozens of prisoners from the death penalty, advocated for the poor, as well as developed community-based reform litigation aimed at improving the administration of criminal justice.
He initiated the National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, which honors the names of each of more than 4,000 African Americans lynched in the twelve states of the South from 1877 to 1950. He argues that the history of slavery and lynchings has influenced the subsequent high rate of death sentences in the South, where it has been disproportionately applied to minorities. A related museum, The Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration, offers interpretations to show the connection between the post-Reconstruction period of lynchings to the high rate of executions and incarceration of people of color in the United States.
In November 2018, Stevenson received the Benjamin Franklin Award from the American Philosophical Society as a “Drum major for justice and mercy.In 2020, he shared the Right Livelihood Award with Nasrin Sotoudeh, Ales Bialiatski and Lottie Cunningham Wren.

Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption book pdf download By Bryan Stevenson

An unforgettable true story about the potential for mercy to redeem us, and a clarion call to end mass incarceration in America — from one of the most inspiring lawyers of our time.
Bryan Stevenson was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a nonprofit law office in Montgomery, Alabama, dedicated to defending the poor, the incarcerated, and the wrongly condemned.
Just Mercy tells the story of EJI, from the early days with a small staff facing the nation’s highest death sentencing and execution rates, through a successful campaign to challenge the cruel practice of sentencing children to die in prison, to revolutionary projects designed to confront Americans with our history of racial injustice.
One of EJI’s first clients was Walter McMillian, a young Black man who was sentenced to die for the murder of a young white woman that he didn’t commit. The case exemplifies how the death penalty in America is a direct descendant of lynching — a system that treats the rich and guilty better than the poor and innocent.

A perilous path: talking race, inequality, and the law book pdf download By Bryan Stevenson

Preface / by Anthony C. Thompson — A perilous path : race, inequality, and the law — Postscript / by Anthony C. Thompson — Acknowledgments.;A no-holds-barred, red-hot discussion of race in America today from some of the leading names in the field, including the bestselling author of Just Mercy This blisteringly candid discussion of the American dilemma in the age of Trump brings together the head of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, the former attorney general of the United States, a bestselling author and death penalty lawyer, and a star professor for an honest conversation the country desperately needs to hear. Drawing on their collective decades of work on civil rights issues as well as personal histories of rising from poverty and oppression, these leading lights of the legal profession and the fight for racial justice talk about the importance of reclaiming the racial narrative and keeping our eyes on the horizon as we work for justice in an unjust time. Covering topics as varied as “the commonality of pain,” “when lawyers are heroes,” and the concept of an “equality dividend” that is due to people of color for helping America brand itself internationally as a country of diversity and acceptance, Ifill, Lynch, Stevenson, and Thompson also explore topics such as “when did ‘public’ become a dirty word” (hint, it has something to do with serving people of color), “you know what Jeff Sessions is going to say,” and “what it means to be a civil rights lawyer in the age of Trump.” Building on Stevenson’s hugely successful Just Mercy, Lynch’s national platform at the Justice Department, Ifill’s role as one of the leading defenders of civil rights in the country, and the occasion of Thompson’s launch of a new center on race, inequality, and the law at the NYU School of Law, A Perilous Path will speak loudly and clearly to everyone concerned about America’s perpetual fault line.

Compaixão: Uma história de justiça e redenção book pdf download By Bryan Stevenson

Uma história verdadeira e emocionante. 3 anos na lista de mais vendidos do New York Times e em breve nos cinemas, em filme estrelado por Michael B Jordan, Jamie Foxx e Brie Larson.
Bryan Stevenson era um jovem advogado quando fundou o “Equal Justice Initiative” (Iniciativa pela Justiça Igualitária), um escritório de advocacia dedicado à defesa daqueles mais necessitados e em desespero: o pobre, o condenado erroneamente, além de mulheres e crianças reféns do sistema de justiça criminal. Um de seus primeiros casos foi o de Walter McMillian, um jovem sentenciado à morte por um notório assassinato que insistentemente alegava não ter cometido. O caso colocou Bryan dentro de uma teia de conspiração, intriga política e manipulação dos limites legais – e transformou para sempre sua compreensão sobre compaixão e justiça.
Compaixão é simultaneamente a história do amadurecimento de um advogado talentoso e idealista, os dramas vividos por aqueles que ele defendeu e um argumento inspirado pela compaixão na busca da verdadeira justiça.
“Bryan Stevenson é o Nelson Mandela americano.” Desmond Tutu, Prêmio Nobel da Paz
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Uma história verdadeira e poderosa sobre o potencial da compaixão como forma de redenção e um clamor para aprimoramento do sistema legal – por um dos mais brilhantes e influentes advogados de nosso tempo.

The British Columbia Court of Appeal book pdf download By Christopher Moore

Courts of law at once reflect and shape the society in which they reside and dispense justice. To mark the 2010 centenary of BC’s highest court – the British Columbia Court of Appeal – this book presents an institutional, jurisprudential, and biographical account of the court and its evolving role in the province.

Richly illustrated and replete with biographical sketches, group portraits of judges, and careful explorations of significant and representative cases, this authoritative history explores how the court came into being, how it has operated, and who its judges have been. In the process, it tells the story of how the court has shaped – and been shaped by – the social, political, and legal development of British Columbia.

This much-needed addition to the judicial history of Canada raises questions for British Columbia legal historians to pursue and for scholars, judges, lawyers, and Canadians in general to ponder.
