Robert
A. Brooks. Cheaper by the hour : temporary lawyers and the
deprofessionalization of the law. Temple University Press, 2011. KF299.T46B76
2011 Recent law school graduates often work as temporary
attorneys, but law firm layoffs and downsizing have strengthened the
temporary attorney industry. This book provides the first in-depth account
of these workers. Drawing from participant observation and interviews,
the author provides a richly detailed ethnographic account of freelance
attorneys in Washington, DC. He documents how firms break a lawyer's
work into discrete components that require less skill to realize maximum
profits and argues that information technology and efficiency demands are
further stratifying the profession and creating a new underclass of lawyers
who do low-end commodity work. |

Alison
Duxbury. The participation of states in international organisations : the
role of human rights and democracy. Cambridge University Press, 2011. JZ4850.D89
2011 The admission of a state to membership is an important decision for an international organization. In making this determination, organizations are increasingly promoting the observance of human rights and democratic governance as relevant principles. They have also applied the same criteria in resolving the question of whether existing members should be excluded from an organization's processes. Through a systematic examination of the records, proceedings and practice of international organizations, this book examines the role and legitimacy of human rights and democracy as membership criteria. |
