Bøger af Christopher Wolfe

Eden Hollow is a town filled with terrible secrets. When sins gather in one place too long, they become a wound, festering and spreading across the land. The wound must be cleaned out, and sometimes, burned closed. God's madman, Morgan Childe is back in this prequel to "The Berserker." Follow along as we discover why he does what he does, and how the course of his life was forever changed by a little girl twenty years dead.

"Social justice" is a term heard a great deal today, but what does it mean? It does not appear in pre-nineteenth century classic texts on justice. Is it a social agenda inspired by compassion? Is it a particular set of institutional arrangements to achieve justice? What the term means, and - in some quarters - whether it is even a term worth using, is a matter of controversy.--Back cover.

In this revised and updated edition of a classic text, one of America''s leading constitutional theorists presents a brief but well-balanced history of judicial review and summarizes the arguments both for and against judicial activism within the context of American democracy. Christopher Wolfe demonstrates how modern courts have used their power to create new "rights" with fateful political consequences and he challenges popular opinions held by many contemporary legal scholars. This is important reading for anyone interested in the role of the judiciary within American politics. Praise for the first edition of Judicial Activism: "This is a splendid contribution to the literature, integrating for the first time between two covers an extensive debate, honestly and dispassionately presented, on the role of courts in American policy.
