Descrição do livro
A collection of the renowned legal scholar's most important writings: "Refreshingly straightforward . . . with vigorous argumentation" (The Law and Politics Book Review). The author of The Irony of Free Speech and Liberalism Divided, Owen Fiss has written some of the most cited legal studies of the twentieth century. This volume collects his most influential work on procedure, adjudication and public reason. Introduced by the author, it also includes contextual introductions for each piece. Fiss surveys the legal terrain between the landmark cases of Brown v. Board of Education and Bush v. Gore to reclaim the legal legacy of the Civil Rights Movement. He argues forcefully for a vision of judges as instruments of public reason and of the courts as a means of shaping society in the image of the Constitution.
In building his argument, Fiss attends to topics as diverse as the use of the injunction to restructure social institutions; how law and economics have misunderstood the role of the judge; why the movement seeking alternatives to adjudication fails to serve the public interest; and why Bush v. Gore was not the constitutional crisis some would have us believe. In so doing, Fiss reveals a vision of adjudication that vindicates the public reason on which Brown v. Board of Education was founded
