{"product_id":"a-voice-for-justice-sharon-schuman-9780870711107","title":"A Voice for Justice: Writings of David Schuman","description":"As an educator, speaker, deputy attorney general, and judge, David Schuman was known for his ability to clarify difficult legal concepts. According to James Egan, chief judge of the Oregon Court of Appeals, he was the \"intellectual giant of our generation.\" \u003ci\u003eA Voice for Justice\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how David Schuman's unique jurisprudence came to be. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e His friends and associates knew that Oregon Supreme Court Justice Hans Linde convinced Schuman to turn to the Oregon Constitution rather than the federal one to protect individual rights. But even some of Schuman's closest friends were unaware of his fiction, which provides a window into his deep capacity for empathy and casts new light on his ability to write elegant, sometimes funny, judicial opinions. His legal thinking also had deep roots in literature and political theory. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Schuman's 672 judicial opinions are not just brilliant, but written so that anyone can understand them. Like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, he knew there was nothing to gain by communicating only to specialists. He wanted citizens to be able to make up their own minds about important issues. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Voice for Justice\u003c\/i\u003e brings together for the first time writings that span over fifty years. Lawyers and laypeople alike will appreciate Schuman's lucid, engaging observations, which are highly relevant to our current anxieties about institutional racism and democracy under stress. The short stories, speeches, op-eds, articles, legal opinions, and dissents selected for this volume constitute a call to action for everyone to become voices for justice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sharon Schuman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0870711105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780870711107\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oregon State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.98w x 0.87d","brand":"Sharon Schuman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44051781255423,"sku":"9780870711107","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_82c87a08-e443-4680-9ad4-446a5b90950f.jpg?v=1685015124","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-voice-for-justice-sharon-schuman-9780870711107","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
