From the Back Cover:
Carter, Lief H. and Burke, Thomas F., Reason in Law, 6th Edition*\ This accessible and lively book examines the relationship between law and politics and emphasizes the political importance of sound legal reasoning. It teaches readers how to examine judicial decisions-how to become "thoughtful judges of judging." Using cases ripped from the headlines-such as Gore v. Bush, the Elian Gonzalez saga, and the ongoing Napster litigation-authors Carter and Burke teach through illustrative examples and have assembled a gallery of fascinating cases to engage the readers interest. For those interested in the American court system.
