{"product_id":"the-courts-ian-greene-9780774811842","title":"The Courts","description":"Ian Greene offers an insider's perspective on the role of judges, lawyers, and expert witnesses; the cost of litigation; the representativeness of juries; legal aid issues; and questions of jury reform. He also examines judicial activism in the wider context of public participation in courts administration and judicial selection and of how responsive the courts are to the expectations of Canadian citizens. \u003ci\u003eThe Courts\u003c\/i\u003e moves its examination of the judicial system beyond the well-trodden topics of judicial appointment, discipline, independence, and review to consider the ways in which courts affect daily life in terms of democratic principles. Although courts are often viewed as elitist and unaccountable, they are more valuable aspect of democratic practice than most citizens realize.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ian Greene\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0774811846\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780774811842\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of British Columbia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/27\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2006 pg. 210","brand":"Ian Greene","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48447775899903,"sku":"9780774811842","price":93.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_64036fa3-0184-4690-bb0d-8b486ec52f24.jpg?v=1777234730","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-courts-ian-greene-9780774811842","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
