Covering the spread of pro bono across five continents, this book provides a unique data set permitting the first-ever comparative analysis of pro bono''s growing role in the access to justice movement. The contributors are leading experts from around the world, whose chapters examine both the internal roots of and global influences on pro bono in transnational context.

Cicero: Pro Marco Caelio - Marcus Tullius Cicero - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Cicero: Pro Marco Caelio - Marcus Tullius Cicero - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Pro Marco Caelio is perhaps Cicero''s best-loved speech and has long been regarded as one of the best surviving examples of Roman oratory. Speaking in defence of the young aristocrat Marcus Caelius Rufus on charges of political violence, Cicero scores his points with wit but also with searing invective directed at a supporter of the prosecution, Clodia Metelli, whom he represents as seeking vengeance as a lover spurned by his client. This new edition and detailed commentary offers advanced undergraduates and graduate students, as well as scholars, a detailed analysis of Cicero''s rhetorical strategies and stylistic refinements and presents a systematic account of the background and significance of the speech, including in-depth explanations of Roman court proceedings.

Pro-Life Activists in America - Carol J. C. Maxwell - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Pro-Life Activists in America - Carol J. C. Maxwell - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Maxwell offers an oral history of pro-life direct activism in America from the late 1970s to the early 1990s. Through the stories of leaders and followers, men and women, Catholics and evangelicals, Carol Maxwell explores the complex beliefs and desires that gave rise to this activism, sustained, and eventually undid it. Maxwell''s interdisciplinary approach weaves theory from sociology, political science, anthropology, and moral philosophy. She pays special attention to several key issues: the role of the participants'' diverse concepts of salvation; concerns about social change; their unresolved grief; their personal experiences of abortion; and differences in men''s and women''s commitment to protest. The book offers a unique window into the minds of individual protestors as they shifted from conventional activism to direct action and gives an important account of the direct action movement as its initial commitment to Ghandian non-violence was broken by the lethal acts that accompanied its end.

Cicero: 'Pro Sexto Roscio' - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Cicero: 'Pro Sexto Roscio' - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Sextus Roscius was murdered in Rome some months after the official end of the Sullan proscriptions on 1 June 81 BC. The case was tried early the following year with a young Cicero acting as defense counsel in his first criminal case for the accused son. Though a novice, Cicero was able to tap into the public anger over the uncontrolled killing and looting of the proscriptions and channel it against the men behind the prosecution, T. Roscius Magnus and T. Roscius Capito. Cicero won a career-making victory, establishing his reputation as a formidable advocate. This 2010 book provides a Latin text and commentary updated to take account of advances in the study of the Latin language as well as Roman institutions, law and society. It is suitable for use with upper-level undergraduates and graduate students.
