With the exception of the wife of Andronikos III Palaiologos, Anna of Savoy, who acted as regent of Byzantium from 1341 to 1347, the lives of the late Byzantine empresses have so far received little scholarly attention. This study presents the biographies of all fifteen empresses of the Palaiologan dynasty and, based on their experiences, follows the development of the role and position of an empress in the last centuries of the empire. The final analysis considers the selection process for imperial brides and the rituals accompanying their arrival in Constantinople. The author also inquires into their role in public, ritual, and ecclesiastical life and their most important social roles at various stages of life.

Описание: For more than two centuries, the U.S. Supreme Court has provided a battleground for nearly every controversial issue in our nation’s history. Now a veteran team of talented historians—including the editors of the acclaimed Landmark Law Cases and American Society series—have updated the most readable, astute single-volume history of this venerated institution with a new chapter on the Roberts Court.The Supreme Court chronicles an institution that dramatically evolved from six men meeting in borrowed quarters to the most closely watched tribunal in the world. Underscoring the close connection between law and politics, the authors highlight essential issues, cases, and decisions within the context of the times in which the decisions were handed down. Deftly combining doctrine and judicial biography with case law, they demonstrate how the justices have shaped the law and how the law that the Court makes has shaped our nation, with an emphasis on how the Court responded—or failed to respond—to the plight of the underdog. Each chapter covers the Court’s years under a specific Chief Justice, focusing on cases that are the most reflective of the way the Court saw the law and the world and that had the most impact on the lives of ordinary Americans. Throughout the authors reveal how—in times of war, class strife, or moral revolution—the Court sometimes voiced the conscience of the nation and sometimes seemed to lose its moral compass. Their extensive quotes from the Court’s opinions and dissents illuminate its inner workings, as well as the personalities and beliefs of the justices and the often-contentious relationships among them.Fair-minded and sharply insightful, The Supreme Court portrays an institution defined by eloquent and pedestrian decisions and by justices ranging from brilliant and wise to slow-witted and expedient. An epic and essential story, it illuminates the Court’s role in our lives and its place in our history in a manner as engaging for general readers as it is rigorous for scholars.

Описание:
The inspiring and previously untold history of the women considered--but not selected--for the US Supreme Court
In 1981, after almost two centuries of exclusively male appointments, Sandra Day O'Connor became the first female Supreme Court Justice of the United States, a significant historical moment and a symbolic triumph for supporters of women's rights. Most do not know, however, about the remarkable women shortlisted for the Supreme Court in the decades before O'Connor's success.
Shortlisted gives nine women formally considered but ultimately passed over for a seat on the Supreme Court going back to the 1930s the recognition they deserve. Award-winning scholars Renee Knake Jefferson and Hannah Brenner Johnson rely on previously unpublished materials to illustrate the professional and personal lives of these accomplished women. From Florence Allen, the first woman judge in Ohio, and the first to appear on a president's list for the Court, to Cornelia Kennedy, the first woman to serve as chief judge of a US district court, shortlisted by Ford, Nixon, and Reagan, Shortlisted shares the often overlooked stories of those who paved the way for women's representation throughout the legal profession and beyond.
In addition to filling a notable historical gap, the book exposes the harms of shortlisting--it reveals how adding qualified female candidates to a list but passing over them ultimately creates the appearance of diversity while preserving the status quo. This phenomenon often occurs with any pursuit of professional advancement, whether the judge in the courtroom, the CEO in the corner office, or the coach on the playing field. Women, and especially female minorities, while as qualified as others on the shortlist (if not more so), find themselves far less likely to be chosen. With the stories of these nine exemplary women as a framework, Shortlisted offers all women a valuable set of strategies for upending the injustices that still endure. It is a must-read for those vying for positions of power as well as for those who select them.

Описание: While scholars have rightly focused on the importance of the landmark opinions of the United States Supreme Court and its Chief Justice, John Marshall, in the rise in influence of the Court in the Early Republic, the crucial role of the circuit courts in the development of a uniform system of federal law across the nation has largely been ignored. This book highlights the contribution of four Associate Justices (Washington, Livingston, Story and Thompson) as presiding judges of their respective circuit courts during the Marshall era, in order to establish that in those early years federal law grew from the ‘inferior courts’ upwards rather than down from the Supreme Court. It does so after a reading of over 1800 mainly circuit opinions and over 2000 original letters, which reveal the sources of law upon which the justices drew and their efforts through correspondence to achieve consistency across the circuits. The documents examined present insights into momentous social, political and economic issues facing the Union and demonstrate how these justices dealt with them on circuit. Particular attention is paid to the different ways in which each justice contributed to the shaping of United States law on circuit and on the Court and in the case of Justices Livingston and Thompson also during their time on the New York State Supreme Court.

Описание: Joseph Martin McCabe was born on the 12th November 1867 in Macclesfield, Cheshire to a family of Irish Catholic background.
At 15 he entered the Franciscan order and spent a year of preliminary study at Gorton Monastery and then a novitiate year in Killarney before Forest Gate in London for the remainder of his priestly education. In 1890 he was ordained as Father Antony.
McCabe was an outstanding scholar of philosophy, and was sent for a year (1893-1894) to study at the Catholic University of Louvain where he learnt Hebrew and, less successfully, Syriac.
In October 1895 he was put in charge of the newly founded Franciscan college in Buckingham. He had however become plagued with doubts about his faith and was to leave both that post and the priesthood in February 1896.
McCabe wrote a pamphlet on his experiences, 'From Rome to Rationalism', published in 1897, which he then expanded into a book as 'Twelve Years in a Monastery' (1897). By now he was decidedly anti-Catholic and sought to undermine religious faith in general. From 1898 he became secretary of the Leicester Secular Society, and was a founding board member in 1899 of the Rationalist Press Association of Great Britain. During his lifetime he wrote in the order of 250 books and pamphlets on science, religion, politics, history.
In amongst this huge canon are two of his many books on the Roman Empire detailing the lives of the various mistresses and queens in the Western (Rome) and Eastern (Constantinople) Empires.
McCabe was also respected as a speaker and delivered, it is believed, several thousand lectures. A staunch advocate of women's rights he worked with both Mrs. Pankhurst and Mrs. Wolstenholme-Elmy on speeches advocating the right for British women to vote.
As the years aged him he became ever more militant in freethought (an epistemological viewpoint that on positions regarding truth they should be formed only on the basis of logic, reason, and empiricism, rather than authority, tradition, revelation, or dogma).
In his essays 'The Myth of the Resurrection' (1925) and 'Did Jesus Ever Live?' (1926) McCabe slammed Christianity as a direct representation of older Pagan beliefs. Slain saviors and their resurrection myths were celebrated across the ancient world before Christianity began. He saw numerous errors, conflicts, contradictions in the Gospel accounts of the Resurrection and thought them unreliable as they had been fabricated over the years by many different writers. McCabe came to the conclusion that Jesus was an Essenian holy man who was turned into a God over the years by hearsay and oral tradition.
In the late 1940's, McCabe accused the Encyclop dia Britannica of bias towards the Catholic Church and levelled the same a few years later at the Columbia Encyclopedia. He was labelled a "Catholic basher" by his Christian critics. McCabe retorted that "Catholics are no worse, and no better, than others."
In 1920 he publicly debated the writer and believer Arthur Conan Doyle on the claims of Spiritualism in London. McCabe had exposed the tricks of fraud mediums and wrote that Spiritualism has no scientific basis.
Joseph Martin McCabe died on 10th January 1955 at the age of 87.

Community Courts are designed to handle a city’s low-level offenses and quality-of-life crimes, such as littering, loitering, or public drunkenness. Court advocates maintain that these largely victimless crimes jeopardize the well-being of residents, businesses, and visitors. Whereas traditional courts might dismiss such cases or administer a small fine, community courts aim to meaningfully punish offenders to avoid disorder escalating to apocalyptic decline.
Courting the Community is a fascinating ethnography that goes behind the scenes to explore how quality-of-life discourses are translated into court practices that marry therapeutic and rehabilitative ideas. Christine Zozula shows how residents and businesses participate in meting out justice—such as through community service, treatment, or other sanctions—making it more emotional, less detached, and more legitimate in the eyes of stakeholders. She also examines both “impact panels,” in which offenders, residents, and business owners meet to discuss how quality-of-life crimes negatively impact the neighborhood, as well as strategic neighborhood outreach efforts to update residents on cases and gauge their concerns.
Zozula’s nuanced investigation of community courts can lead us to a deeper understanding of punishment and rehabilitation and, by extension, the current state of the American court system.
