ADVOCACY (Legal Practice Handbook) by Avrom Sherr Second Indian Reprint
1996 Rs.
110
Although the most
characteristic of legal skills, representing clients in courts and tribunals is
a skill which until recently was not taught. It was picked up by watching others
and trying out one's own fears with little, if any, feedback. This book aims to
change all that. There are no war stories and no solecisms. The work of advocacy
is clearly divided into its constituent parts and each element is covered in
terms of both approach and content. The approach is to build upon the new
advocate's existing skills rather than mimicking an imagined ideal. It is also
intended to be fun to read.

INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF THE LAW OF THE CONSTITUTION by A.V. Dicey, 10th Edn.
Third Indian Reprint 2000
Rs. 375
An introductory
book on the study of the law of the Constitution does not pretend to be even a
summary, much less a complete account of Constitutional Law. It deals with two
or three guiding principles which pervade the modern Constitution. Not only the
doctrines (for example, the Sovereignty of Parliament) which are the foundation
of the existing Constitution have been specially emphasised, but the book also
constantly illustrates English Consti-tutionalism by comparisons between it and
the Constitutionalism on the one hand of the United States, and on the other of

OUR
CONSTITUTION, GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS by M.V. Pylee 2000 Edn.
Rs. 185
The Constitution of
India has unique features. It is firmly based on the principles of justice,
liberty, equality and fraternity. It prohibits discrimination of people on
grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth. The fathers of our
Constitution were keen to see that not only economic progress was achieved at a
fast rate but also the resources of the nation were distributed equitably. To
what extent have we achieved the objective so eloquently proclaimed by the
constitution? A big question indeed! The essays included in this volume deal
with this question, not in a comprehensive or exhaustive manner covering all
aspects of the working of the Constitution, Government, Legislature and the
Judiciary, but touching on all these.
Constitutions of
the World is a unique publication consisting of 39 Constitutions of the World
from Albania to the United States of America. It covers a wide spectrum. There
are Constitutions, the texts of which runs into hundreds of pages. At the same
time there are others which are quite brief. For example, the Constitution of
India is reputed to be the largest whereas the United States of America is the
shortest. This volume, Constitutions of the World, would prove to be an
excellent reference work for lawyers, legislatures and students of Law,
Political Science and other related subjects.
JUDICIAL REVIEW AND THE LAW OF THE CONSTITUTION
by Sylvia Snowiss Second Indian Reprint 1996
Rs. 200
Sylvia Snowiss presents
a new interpretation of the origin of judicial review. Snowiss traces the
development of judicial review from American Independence through the tenure of
John Marshall as Chief Justice, showing that Marshall's role was far more
innovative and decisive than has yet been recognized. Her reinterpretation
offers a new perspective on assumptions about intent and the status of
constitutional text made both implicitly and explicitly by contending sides in
the fundamental rights debate. More important, it reopens and recasts the
problem of constitutional law-the relationship between its legal and political
components.
CONSTITUTIONAL CHOICES by
Laurence H. Tribe, Professor Alpheus Thomas Mason, First Indian Reprint, 2000
Rs. 350

Choices, Laurence Tribe boldly moves beyond the seemingly endless debate over
which judicial approaches to enforcing the Constitution are ''legitimate'' and
which are not. Arguing that all claims to legitimacy must remain suspect. Tribe
focuses on the choices that must be made in resolving actual constitutional
controversies. ''Constitutional Choices is a worthy successor to Tribe's
American Constitutional Law,...... which now ranks as a classic.

HARRIS'S CRIMINAL LAW 22nd Edn. First Indian Reprint 2000
Rs. 595
Harris's Criminal Law has long been an established classic, giving a broader
prospect of the field of criminal law and a more practical approach than is
possible in the average textbook. This edition has had to be completely revised
and rewritten. It is natural that social attitudes should change and that
government policy should change with them; this is not peculiar to any
particular period, but this state of affairs, combined with the gradual trend
towards codification and simplification has resulted in a veritable torrent of
new legislation. The authors of the present edition have tried throughout to
maintain a fair balance between that practical approach and academic legal
theory, and to retain Harris's essentially compendious nature without losing its
encyclopaedic quality.

LEGAL WRITING & DRAFTING (LEGAL PRACTICE
HANDBOOK) by Paul Rylance First Indian Reprint 2000
Rs. 150
Although the art of legal writing and drafting has been practised for as long as
there have been laws and lawyers, it is only recently that the subject has been
recognised as worthy of serious study. Traditional training methods which have
been handed down from generation to generation have not served the profession
well. Legal writing is often accused of suffering from a lack of clarity owing
to its lengthy intricate construction and antiquated forms of expression. People
read legal writing not because they want to, but because they have to. Lawyers
need to learn to write in good, clear English that their clients understand.
This book aims to give guidance in good practice to those just starting out on a
legal career so that bad habits are eliminated from the outset rather than
perpetuated.

THEORY OF JUSTICE by John Rawls, First Indian Reprint 2000

Rawls attempts to account for those propositions, which he believes express our

theory of justice. The principles of justice he sets forth are those that free
and rational persons would accept in an initial position of equality. In this
hypothetical situation, which corresponds to the state of nature in social
contract theory, no one knows his place in society; his class position or social
status; his fortune in the distribution of natural assets and abilities; his
intelligence, strength, and the like; or even his conception of the good, Thus,
deliberating behind a veil of ignorance, men determine their rights and duties.
