New York Magazine
New York magazine was born in 1968 after a run as an insert of the New York Herald Tribune and quickly made a place for itself as the trusted resource for readers across the country. With award-winning writing and photography covering everything from politics and food to theater and fashion, the magazine's consistent mission has been to reflect back to its audience the energy and excitement of the city itself, while celebrating New York as both a place and an idea.
Class Action and new Forms of Aggregate Litigation in the United States
The Bocconi University’s Department of Legal Studies is proud to launch its Legal Studies Series with this debut volume, bringing together Arthur R. Miller and Helen Hershkoff, two esteemed U.S. professors of civil procedure with Bocconi professors Marta Cartabia and Cesare Cavallini for a public discussion of class actions and other new and emergent forms of aggregate litigation. Bocconi Rector Francesco Billari presided and emphasized the significance of the class action to the core mission of the Department of Legal Studies, namely, protection and expansion of justice. The far-ranging remarks focused on the origin and development of the class action, its utility in challenging racial and gendered inequalities, as well as market defects, and the potential—and limits—of aggregate litigation to resolve some of the most critical issues of our times, touching on technological change, environmental degradation, economic inequality, and democratic decline. Readers will find this volume to be not only informative, but also inspiring in its passion for justice.
Poverty Law and Legal Activism
Linking critical legal thinking to constitutional scholarship and a practical tradition of US lawyering that is orientated around anti-poverty activism, this book offers an original, revisionist account of contemporary jurisprudence, legal theory and legal activism. The book argues that we need to think in terms of a much broader inheritance for critical legal thinking that derives from the social ethics of the progressive era, new left understandings of "creative democracy" and radical theology. To this end, it puts jurisprudence and legal theory in touch with recent scholarship on the American left and, indeed, with attempts to recover the legacies of progressive era thinking, the civil rights struggle and the Great Society. Focusing on the theory and practice of poverty law in the period stretching from the mid-1960s to the present day, the book argues that at the heart of both critical and liberal thinking is an understanding of the lawyer as an ethical actor: inspired by faith or politics to appreciate the potential and limits of law in the struggle against economic inequality.
Politics and Capital
Using both theoretical methods and practical political analysis, this book shows how recent Supreme Court decisions and campaign finance regulations map onto a pernicious and growing inequality in America. John Attanasio puts forward a novel solution grounded in a new principle of personal autonomy. The solution Attanasio proposes is the principle of "distributive autonomy," sharply contrasting it with the individualism of modern libertarian ideas, which have given rise to the radical inequality that reduces, rather than enhances, autonomy. A profound synthesis of theory and practice, Politics and Capital is crucial to understanding the ominous political and economic problems besetting twenty-first century America.
Boundaries of State, Boundaries of Rights
The book explores the various and sometimes unexpected ways in which states, human rights, and private actors intersect.
