* “The brief is an elaborate and comprehensive one, including a consideration of such matters as states rights, the trend to centralization, and an impressive, though slightly nostalgic, appeal for the rule of stare decisis. The bulk of the work is divided between two main topics: Immunity of state and municipal securities from federal taxation apart from the Sixteenth Amendment; and the effect (rather the lack of effect) of the Sixteenth Amendment on this immunity.”: F.D.G Ribble, Columbia Law Review 40 (1940) 576.

* A title in the Carnegie Classics of International Law series. One of the most important jurists and international lawyers of his time, Bynkershoek was a Dutch jurist who founded the positive school of international law, which held that usage and practice were more important than deductions drawn from natural law. Respected during his lifetime, his works are still consulted today. De Dominio Maris [On the Sovereignty of the Sea], one of his principal works, introduced one of the most enduring concepts in international law: the “three-mile limit” rule, which states that a nation may claim sovereignty over territorial waters to a distance of three miles from shore.

* “Professor Corwin’s facile pen here demonstrates how with the stimulus of war our governmental powers tend to vest in the executive. Although moderate in his approach, the author views with concern this tendency to which World War II gave great impetus. The purported constitutional authorizations for wartime changes are carefully and often disapprovingly examined, but no suggestion save a nebulous appeal to democracy is made to eliminate dangers inherent in increasing centralization. At any rate, the analysis of the present status of the Constitution, set against a broad background, is clear, stimulating, and readable, although necessarily general in treatment.”: Book Notes, Columbia Law Review 47 (1947) 1093.

106. Cranor, Carl F. Toxic Torts: Science, Law and the Possibility of Justice. New York: Cambridge University Press, 2006. 414 pp. Cloth. New.  $99.
* The U.S. tort, or personal injury law, cloaked behind increased judicial review of science, is changing before our eyes, except we cannot see it. U.S. Supreme Court decisions beginning with Daubert v. Merrell-Dow Pharmaceutical altered how courts review scientific testimony and its foundation in the law. The complexity of both science and the law mask the overall social consequences of these decisions. Yet they are too important to remain hidden. Mistaken reviews of scientific evidence can decrease citizen access to the law, increase incentives for firms not to test their products, lower deterrence for wrongful conduct and harmful products, and decrease the possibility of justice for citizens injured by toxic substances. Even if courts review evidence well, greater judicial scrutiny increases litigation costs and attorney screening of clients, and decreases a citizen’s access to the law. This book introduces these issues, reveals the relationships that can deny citizens just restitution for harms suffered, and shows how justice can be enhanced in toxic tort cases.

* Sets forth standards of procedural fairness aimed at protecting the rights of those who come into contact with truth commissions - primarily victims and their families, witnesses, and perpetrators. The aim of the book is to provide recommended criteria of procedural fairness for five possible components of a truth commission’s mandate: the taking of statements, the use of subpoenas, the exercise of powers of search and seizure, the holding of victim-centered public hearings, and the publication of findings of individual responsibility in a final report (sometimes called the issue of ‘naming names’). The book draws on the experience of past and present truth commissions, analogous national and multilateral investigative bodies, and international and comparative standards of procedural fairness.
