The book describes how the idea of such a rule came about in England and how it has been preserved and defended in the face of attempts to circumvent it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStanding at the heart of all matters of justice, the Rule of Law holds, in short, that the law applies in equal measure to everyone. No-one is above the law and power can only be exercised under it. The rule lies at the very core of liberal democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvents in both modern times and across legal history demonstrate the sometimes precarious nature of the rule and the necessity for 'champions' prepared to uphold it -- and whilst the need for it may seem obvious on any balanced view of how justice should be dispensed, its central importance to justice is by no means intuitive to everyone. This means that it will always be imperative to re-iterate its purpose, the argu­ments behind it and the mechanisms which safeguard and protect it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhenever the Rule of Law falls under threat, whether due to ignorance, claims to special treatment, misguided understanding, manipulation or lack of due process, there is a need for people of the calibre described in this book to step forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book will be of interest to lawyers, historians and students as well as general readers seeking reassurance about the workings of justice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Hostettler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1904380689\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781904380689\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Waterside Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/04\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.45d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2012 pg. 126","brand":"John Hostettler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48459655315711,"sku":"9781904380689","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4a758f64-fa7d-42c0-86fd-65d422aa2793.jpg?v=1777411058","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/champions-of-the-rule-of-john-hostettler-9781904380689","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
