Daniel Kelemen. Eurolegalism : the transformation of law and regulation in
the European Union. Harvard University Press, 2011. KJE947.K45
2011 Despite western Europe’s traditional disdain for the
United States’ “adversarial legalism,” this book argues that the European
Union is shifting toward a very similar approach to the law. The author
contends that the EU’s fragmented institutional structure and the priority it
has put on market integration have generated political incentives and
functional pressures that have moved EU policymakers to enact detailed,
transparent, judicially enforceable rules—often framed as “rights”—and back
them with public enforcement litigation as well as enhanced opportunities for
private litigation by individuals, interest groups, and firms. |

J. King, Joseph L. Hoffmann. Habeas for the twenty-first century : uses,
abuses, and the future of the great writ. University of Chicago Press,
2011. KF9011.K56
2011 For centuries, the writ of habeas corpus has served as an important safeguard against miscarriages of justice, and today it remains at the center of some of the most contentious issues of our time—among them terrorism, immigration, crime, and the death penalty. Yet, in recent decades, habeas has been seriously abused. In this book, the authors argue that habeas should be exercised with greater prudence. They examine the current use of the writ in the United States and offer sound reform proposals to help ensure its ongoing vitality in today’s justice system. |
