Benjamin
H. Barton. The lawyer-judge bias in the American legal system.
Cambridge University Press, 2011. KF8776.B37
2011 Virtually all American judges are former lawyers. This
book argues that these lawyer-judges instinctively favor the legal profession
in their decisions and that this bias has far-reaching and deleterious
effects on American law. It begins with a theoretical explanation of
why judges naturally favor the interests of the legal profession and follows
with case law examples from diverse areas, including legal ethics, criminal
procedure, constitutional law, torts, evidence, and the business of law. |

Nikolaeva Demitrova. Seafarers' rights in the globalized maritime industry.
Aspen Publishers, c2010. K1196.D56
2010 This book examines in detail the structure of the shipping industry, focusing on problems concerning the working and living conditions of seafarers on board merchant ships serving the global sea transport system. Exploring all levels of maritime policymaking on a global and European level, the author analyses seafarers’ rights in the light of international enforcement mechanisms and particularly in the light of the recent ILO Maritime Labour Convention. |
