It is designed for everyone from undergraduates to law students and graduate students. Topics include whether the identity of the judge matters in deciding a case, how different types of lawyers and litigants shape the work of judges, how judges follow or defy the decisions of higher courts, how judges bargain with one another on multi-member courts, how judges get and keep their jobs, and how the judicial branch interacts with the other branches of government and the general public. The book explains how these individual and institutional features affect who wins and loses cases, and how the law itself is changed. It is built around well-known and accessible disputes such as gay marriage, women's rights, Obamacare, and the death penalty; and it offers students a new way to think about familiar legal issues and demonstrates how legal and social-science perspectives can produce a better understanding of courts and judges.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50096610771217,"sku":"CIN1642422576G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50388624408849,"sku":"CIN1642422576VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1642422576.jpg?v=1750720620"},{"product_id":"open-book-book-barry-friedman-9781454873563","title":"Open Book","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOpen Book: The Inside Track to Law School Success, 2E\u003c\/b\u003e is a book that every JD and LLM law student needs to read, either before classes start or as they get going in their 1L year. Now in an expanded second edition, the book explains in a clear and easygoing, conversational manner what law professors expect from their students both in classes and exams.

To prepare students for exams, the book explains in clear and careful detail what exams are designed to test.

It also contains a wealth of material, both in the book and digitally, on preparing for exams.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFinally, and perhaps most importantly, Open Book comes with a free suite of 18 actual law school exams in Civil Procedure, Constitutional Law, Contracts, Criminal Law, Property and Torts, written and administered by law professors. These exams include not only questions, but: (1) annotations from the professors explaining what they were looking for; (2) model answers written by the professors themselves; and (3) actual student answers, with professor comments that explain why certain answers were stronger of weaker. As Open Book explains, there is no better way to prepare for exams than by practicing, and these unique materials will enable students to get the most out of their pre-exam practice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50111772950801,"sku":"CIN1454873566VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52106377789713,"sku":"CIN1454873566G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1454873566.jpg?v=1751338780"},{"product_id":"four-days-and-a-year-later-book-barry-friedman-9781948263443","title":"Four Days and a Year Later","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50134347350289,"sku":"CIN1948263440G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50765257244945,"sku":"CIN1948263440VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51197260529937,"sku":"NIN9781948263443","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1948263440.jpg?v=1750997882"},{"product_id":"will-of-the-people-book-barry-friedman-9780374220341","title":"The Will of the People","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn recent years, the justices of the Supreme Court have ruled definitively on such issues as abortion, school prayer, and military tribunals in the war on terror.

Leap Day became a 30 day challenge that led to a lifestyle makeover, and the results have been nothing short of human renewal and purification: 38 waist became 32, wrinkle free skin, mental clarity, deep sleep, a quiet mind, and no memory of just how terrible a 2PM crash really feels.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50378387652881,"sku":"CIN1503100839G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51695641231633,"sku":"CIN1503100839VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53109802402065,"sku":"NIN9781503100831","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1503100839.jpg?v=1751053939"},{"product_id":"jacob-fishman-s-marriages-book-barry-friedman-9781087929934","title":"Jacob Fishman's Marriages","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50827457659153,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50827458085137,"sku":"CIN1087929938VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52150991552785,"sku":"NLS9781087929934","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52863080923409,"sku":"NIN9781087929934","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1087929938.jpg?v=1750791074"},{"product_id":"joke-was-on-me-book-barry-friedman-9781954871038","title":"The Joke Was On Me","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50993846616337,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50993849729297,"sku":"NIN9781954871038","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1954871031.jpg?v=1750901832"},{"product_id":"jack-sh-t-2-book-barry-friedman-9781954871939","title":"Jack Sh*t 2","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50993865031953,"sku":"NIN9781954871939","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52599913513233,"sku":"NLS9781954871939","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1954871937.jpg?v=1751093385"},{"product_id":"shroud-book-barry-friedman-9780595206377","title":"Shroud","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51004525478161,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51004528296209,"sku":"NIN9780595206377","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52142826553617,"sku":"NLS9780595206377","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0595206379.jpg?v=1750847165"},{"product_id":"short-life-of-a-valiant-ship-book-barry-friedman-9780595422517","title":"The Short Life of a Valiant Ship","description":"On October 15, 1942, Japanese carrier planes attacked and sank the destroyer US MEREDITH off Guadalcanal Island.

After studying with the critically acclaimed glass artist Dale Chihuly, he found his own artistic personality by combining different techniques: Glancy works with cold glass, which he sculpts through sandblasting and acid-cutting, and then coats with electroformed copper, silver or gold. Elegant and exceptional in their quality and beauty, Michael Glancy's sculptures reveal the artist's pursuit for perfection; fascinated by microscopic landscapes, Glancy translates cellular structures and geological stratifications into impressive sculptural objects. The lattice patterns etched into the glass suggest latitude and longitude, while the organic and undulating vessels allude to topography. Glancy's own very specific mode of presentation - that of a base of sheet glass which shadows or connects to the standing vessel - has become his signature style. It is as if the two-dimensional world of the sheet of glass has developed and warped itself into a three-dimensional object.   This transformation together with his scientific interests, positions his work between alchemy - at the intersection of physics and metaphysics - and conceptual art. Michael Glancy's work is represented in numerous international museums and collections. Since 1982 he has taught and worked at the Rhode Island School of Design.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52687519842577,"sku":"NLS9783897903449","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783897903449.jpg?v=1762330692"},{"product_id":"old-folks-at-home-book-barry-friedman-9780557521814","title":"The Old Folks at Home","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52735735726353,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52735735857425,"sku":"NIN9780557521814","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780557521814.jpg?v=1763403985"},{"product_id":"regulation-in-the-reagan-bush-era-book-barry-friedman-9780822960522","title":"Regulation in the Reagan-Bush Era","description":"This timely and well-researched study describes for the first tim ethe astonishing acquiecence of executive agency officials, members of Congress, and federal judges to Ronald Regan's assertion of extraordinary new presidential power over the federal regulatory process--the controversial Executive Order 12291.    From Harry Truman through Jimy Carter, chief executives complained that federal bureaucrats disregarded their policy preferences. presidential influence over regulatory rule making was limited: congressional committees and interest groups commanded more attention. Then in February 1981 Ronal regan abruptly departed from tradition by ordering that regulatory agencies must submit proposed guidelines for Office of Management and Budget approval.    Barry D. friedman describes how the executive agencies and Congress responded warily and with skepticism, yet allowed the changes to remain; the judiciary was also willing to retreat from time-honored precedents that had preserved agency prerogative and now accorded due respect to the revolutionary Regan reform initiatives. Institutions that competed for leverage in the system continued to exercise restraint in their mutual relations because they recognized taht all benefitted from the others' viability.    This book shows that conventional political science theories and models are now obsolete because of the eruption of presidential control into bureaucratic affairs. new review procedures have restructured relations between the president and the agencies and among the government's three branches. because of Regan's radical initiative, President Bill Clinton and his successors will sit at the bargaining table when regulation policy is developed in Washington, and political theorists will have to work from a new conception of presidential prerogative.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53005014401297,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53005014597905,"sku":"NIN9780822960522","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780822960522.jpg?v=1767852661"},{"product_id":"jack-sh-t-2-book-barry-friedman-9798869391568","title":"Jack Sh*t 2","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53638219530513,"sku":"NLS9798869391568","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798869391568.jpg?v=1781007231"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-barry-friedman.oembed?page=2","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
