Legality


Book Description

What is law? This question has preoccupied philosophers from Plato to Thomas Hobbes to H. L. A. Hart. Yet many others find it perplexing. How could we possibly know how to answer such an abstract question? And what would be the point of doing so? In Legality, Scott Shapiro argues that the question is not only meaningful but vitally important. In fact, many of the most pressing puzzles that lawyers confront—including who has legal authority over us and how we should interpret constitutions, statutes, and cases—will remain elusive until this grand philosophical question is resolved. Shapiro draws on recent work in the philosophy of action to develop an original and compelling answer to this age-old question. Breaking with a long tradition in jurisprudence, he argues that the law cannot be understood simply in terms of rules. Legal systems are best understood as highly complex and sophisticated tools for creating and applying plans. Shifting the focus of jurisprudence in this way—from rules to plans—not only resolves many of the most vexing puzzles about the nature of law but has profound implications for legal practice as well. Written in clear, jargon-free language, and presupposing no legal or philosophical background, Legality is both a groundbreaking new theory of law and an excellent introduction to and defense of classical jurisprudence.

Law School For Dummies


Book Description

The straightforward guide to surviving and thriving in law school Every year more than 40,000 students enter law school and at any given moment there are over 125,000 law school students in the United States. Law school’s highly pressurized, super-competitive atmosphere often leaves students stressed out and confused, especially in their first year. Balancing life and schoolwork, passing the bar, and landing a job are challenges that students often need help facing. In Law School For Dummies, former law school student Rebecca Fae Greene uses straight talk, sound advice, and gentle humor to help students sort through the swamp of coursework and focus on what’s important–all while maintaining a life. She also offers rare insight on the law school experience for women, minorities, non-traditional, and non-Ivy League students.




Hellion's Law


Book Description

NOAH I came to the Hellion Club to solve a murder, not to become some banker's boy toy. All my life, my omega status has been a pain my ass. Shaping what other people assume about me. Determining who I date, or who'll date me. My own biology trying to tell me to slow down and have babies. Well screw that. Only I get to decide how I live my life, and I decided a long time ago I was going to be the best damn detective this city had ever seen. And yet here I am anyway, pregnant in the middle of a murder investigation. The highest profile investigation of my career. The thing that could shoot me to the top. Instead I'm busy fending off my would-be alpha, the oh so posh and traditional Sebastian Banks, Hellfire Club elite. If he had his way, I'd spend the rest of my life either in bed or the kitchen. If my body had its way, it would happily let him. It's everything I've spent my whole life resisting. Now more than ever, I have to focus on what really matters to me. But I can't help but wonder...is it really just simple biology that keeps pulling me back towards this man? Or is it something more? SEBASTIAN I've always lived my life according to certain expectations, and in return life has met mine. An omega cop who loudly asserts his independence at every opportunity falls nowhere within the boundaries of the expected. And yet Noah Wells manages to be all the more irresistible for it. I don't understand it. Or him. I don't know why he resists me or the attraction between us. More riddles to unravel, but I can be patient. I can be anything he wants or needs me to be, if he'll just give me the chance to show him. Funny, I thought I was supposed to be the alpha between us. Maybe there's more to his modern ideas than I would have thought. Not that he needs to know that, of course... Murder, mystery and mpreg abound in this 50,000 word tale of opposites attracting. The sparks between these two can be explosive, so please be eighteen years or older when following them into the bedroom!
