Margaret
F. Brinig. Family, law, and community : supporting the covenant.
University of Chicago Press, 2010. KF505.Z9B755
2010 This
book draws on research from a variety of disciplines to offer a distinctive
study of family dynamics and social policy. Concentrating on legal
reforms, it examines a wide range of subjects including cohabitation,
custody, grandparent visitation, and domestic violence and argues that family
policy can only be effective if it is guided by an understanding of the
importance of social capital and the advantages held by families that accrue
it. |

Maguire. Law and war : international law & American history. Rev.
ed. Columbia University Press, c2010. K5301.M34
2010 This
book follows America’s legal relationship with war, both before and after the
Nuremburg trials of the 1940s, and argues that the precedents set by the
trials were revolutionary. This edition has been revised throughout,
with a discussion of the Bush administration’s policies on the laws of war
after 9/11 and the effect these policies had on American power and
reputation. |
