Inside the Castle is a comprehensive social history of twentieth-century family law in the United States. Joanna Grossman and Lawrence Friedman show how vast, oceanic changes in society have reshaped ...and reconstituted the American family. Women and children have gained rights and powers, and novel forms of family life have emerged. The family has more or less dissolved into a collection of independent individuals with their own wants, desires, and goals. Modern family law, as always, reflects the brute social and cultural facts of family life.

Under what conditions are laws and rules effective? Lawrence M. Friedman gathers findings from many disciplines into one overarching analysis and lays the groundwork for a cohesive body of work in ..."impact studies." He examines the importance of communication on the part of lawgivers and the nuances of motive among those subject to the law.
Robert A. Kagan’s influential book, first published at the beginning of the twenty-first century, is now brought up to date with a second edition. “Adversarial legalism,” in Kagan’s view, ...distinguishes law in the United States from the law of other developed countries in many ways, for example, heavy use of policymaking through litigation and punitive regulation, as opposed to bureaucratic and conciliatory techniques. He suggests that this situation is likely to continue. This essay, however, looks at the same phenomena from the standpoint of similarities rather than differences. It suggests that powerful economic and cultural forces, common to the modern world of developed countries, tend to push the legal systems of these countries in parallel directions. Convergence, rather than divergence, is therefore the trend in the legal systems of the Western world; and this trend is likely to continue in the future.

Ohio Canal Era,a rich analysis of state policies and their impact in directing economic change, is a classic on the subject of the pre-Civil War transportation revolution. This edition contains a new ...foreword by scholar Lawrence M. Friedman, Professor of Law, Stanford Law School, and a bibliographic note by the author.Professor Scheiber explores how Ohio-as a "public enterprise state," creating state agencies and mobilizing public resources for transport innovation and control-led in the process of economic change before the Civil War. No other historical account of the period provides so full and insightful a portrayal of "law in action." Scheiber reveals the important roles of American nineteenth-century government in economic policy-making, finance, administration, and entrepreneurial activities in support of economic development.His study is equally important as an economic history. Scheiber provides a full account of waves of technological innovation and of the transformation of Ohio's commerce, agriculture, and industrialization in an era of hectic economic change. And he tells the intriguing story of how the earliest railroads of the Old Northwest were built and financed, finally confronting the state-owned canal system with a devastating competitive challenge.Amid the current debate surrounding "privatization," "deregulation," and the appropriate use of "industrial policy" by government to shape and channel the economy. Scheiber's landmark study gives vital historical context to issues of privatization and deregulation that we confront in new forms today.
The European Human Rights Culture - A Paradox of Human Rights Protection in Europe? analyses the political term "European Human Rights Culture", a term first introduced by EU Commission President ...Barroso. Located in the fields of comparative law and European law, this book analyses, through first-hand interviews with the European judiciary, the judicial perspective on the European human rights culture and sets this in context to the political dimension of the term. In addition, it looks at the structures and procedures of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), and explains the embedding of the Courts' legal cultures. It offers an in-depth analysis of the margin of appreciation doctrine at both the CJEU and ECtHR, and shows its value for addressing human rights grievances.
A history of American law in the 20th century. It describes the explosion of law over the past century into almost every aspect of American life. Since 1900 the centre of legal gravity in the United ...States has shifted from the state to the federal government, with the creation of agencies and programmes ranging from Social Security to the Securities Exchange Commission to the Food and Drug Administration. Major demographic changes have spurred legal developments in such areas as family law and immigration law. Dramatic advances in technology have placed new demands on the legal system in fields ranging from automobile regulation to intellectual property.;Throughout this history, Lawrence M. Friedman focuses on the social context of American law. He explores the extent to which transformations in the legal order have resulted from the social upheavals of the 20th century - including two world wars, the Great Depression, the civil rights movement, and the sexual revolution. Friedman also discusses the international context of American law: what has the American legal system drawn from other countries? And in an age of global dominance, what impact has the American legal system had abroad?

Journal Article

In this piece, I want to make a few points about planetary law. I will first explain what I mean by the term. My main point is a simple one. I start from the fact that in modern, developed countries, ...there have been massive cultural changes, which are common to all of these countries. Cultural change always leads to legal change. This is true everywhere in the legal system, and not least in planetary law. World cultures, in my opinion, are converging. That is, they are getting closer together. And cultural convergence produces legal convergence. I will then comment on the dark side of planetary culture, and planetary law: the risks and the dangers we face right now and those that seem to lie just over the horizon.
