Jeffrey Reiman/Rich get richer, Poor get Prison
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page book review that profiles Reiman's text The Rich Get Richer and the Poor Get Prison. The writer argues that the 2004 edition of Jeffrey Reiman's classic text shows that time has only validated the accusations that Reiman formulated against US jurisprudence in the original edition of his book in 1979. As Reiman points out in his preface to the seventh edition, "recent events continue to bear out the main thesis of the original edition of this book" (xiii). That thesis is that the criminal acts committed by the poor are treated a crimes while the acts of well-off people, which result in occupational death and disease, are not treated by crimes--"or if treated as crimes, not treated as serious crimes" (xiv). With the news filled with stories of white collar crime that robs millions of Americans of their retirement funds and financial security, this book is extremely relevant and should be required reading for all Americans--particularly in an election year. No additional sources cited.

Judicial Reasoning
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Roland Case's "Understanding Judicial Reasoning : Controversies, Concepts, And Cases" addresses issues that society has been grappling with since the creation of the Constitution: How much of the law should be left up to personal interpretation and how much should be followed to the letter? Indeed, the extent to which contemporary judges impart their own legal perception is part and parcel to what Case attempts to tackle within the pages of his insightful account. Particularly interesting is how the author addresses three distinctive methods of reasoning that serve to define the decision-making processes of today's legal system, which include reasoning from interpretive guidelines; reasoning from prior cases; and reasoning from principle.
