How Judges Think

Harvard University Press, 2008

K2300.P67 2008

In this book, Judge Richard A. Posner offers his perspective on how judges and justices decide cases, based on his belief that people often hold unrealistic views about how judges operate. When conventional legal materials enable judges to ascertain the facts of a case and apply clear pre-existing legal rules to them, Posner argues, they do so straightforwardly. However, in non-routine cases, the conventional materials run out and judges are on their own, with their experience, emotions, and often unconscious beliefs influencing them.

Indigenous heritage and intellectual property: genetic resources, traditional knowledge and folklore

Aspen Publishers, 2008

K1401.I53 2008

Existing intellectual property law often allows industries to use indigenous knowledge and resources without asking for consent and without sharing the benefits of such exploitation, raising objections by indigenous people. This book’s contributors explore how intellectual property law can expand to accommodate the interests of indigenous people. Concepts including human rights norms, farmers’ rights, and the role of customary law are discussed.
