{"product_id":"justice-accused","title":"Justice Accused","description":"What should a judge do when he must hand down a ruling based on a law that he considers unjust or oppressive? This question is examined through a series of problems concerning unjust law that arose with respect to slavery in nineteenth-century America. \"Cover's book is splendid in many ways. His legal history and legal philosophy are both first class. . . . This is for a change an interdisciplinary work that is a credit to both disciplines.\"-Ronald Dworkin Times Literary Supplement \"Scholars should be grateful to Cover for his often brilliant illumination of tensions created in judges by changing eighteenth- and nineteenth-century jurisprudential attitudes and legal standards. . . An exciting adventure in interdisciplinary history.\"-Harold M. Hyman American Historical Review \"A most articulate sophisticated and learned defense of legal formalism. . . Deserves and needs to be widely read.\"-Don Roper Journal of American History \"An excellent illustration of the way in which a burning moral issue relates to the American judicial process. The book thus has both historical value and a very immediate importance.\"-Edwards A. Stettner Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science \"A really fine book an important contribution to law and to history.\"-Louis H.
