Description

Product Description One of the secrets within the legal profession is that the stories behind the cases matter more than the legal doctrines involved. A full understanding of legal disputes requires knowing about the cultural and historical context in which the cases arise. In Backstories in the Law: Tales of Victors, Villains and Victims, distinguished law professor Alan Weinberger examine some of the most extraordinary cases of the past century with a focus not so much on the winning and losing, but rather on the backstories behind the disputes. The chapters provide insights and background into the cases, and explain why the decisions continue to resonate today. Most of all, these chapters remind us of the transcendent importance of good stories: in disputes involving fundamental human emotions and desires, there is usually a victor, villain and victim. Ultimately it is the reader who gets to decide whether justice was done or denied. Review I commend Professor Alan Weinberger for his insightful and stimulating book focusing on the backstories of several prominent cases. By providing unique case studies of several well-known decisions, the book serves as a valuable addition to the jurisprudential literature. Kudos to Professor Weinberger for authoring this entertaining and thought-provoking book.--Marc I. Steinberg About the Author After graduating law school, Alan M. Weinberger spent a dozen years in private practice in Washington, D.C., and Detroit, representing institutional lenders, real estate developers, commercial landlords and foreign investors. In addition to his scholarship and teaching duties, Weinberger has previously served as Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and as Associate Dean for Faculty. Weinberger has been a visiting professor at Washington University School of Law, University of Iowa College of Law, Hebrew University in Jerusalem, the University of Osnabrück, Germany and Ruhr University in Bochum, Germany.
