Justice for All identifies ten central flaws in the criminal
justice system and offers an array of solutions - from status quo
to evolution to revolution - to address the inequities and
injustices that far too often result in courtrooms across the
United States. From the investigatory stage to the sentencing and
appellate stages, many criminal defendants, particularly those from
marginalized communities, often face procedural and structural
barriers that taint the criminal justice system with the stain of
unfairness, prejudice, and arbitrariness. Systematic flaws in the
criminal justice system underscore the inequitable processes by
which courts deprive citizens of liberty and, in some instances,
their lives. Comprehensive in its scope and applicability, the book
focuses upon the procedural and substantive barriers that often
prohibit defendants from receiving fair treatment within the United
States criminal justice system. Each chapter is devoted to a
particular flaw in the criminal justice system and is divided into
two parts. First, the authors discuss in depth the underlying
causes and effects of the flaw at issue. Second, the authors
present a wide range of possible solutions to address this flaw and
to lead to greater equality in the administration of criminal
justice. The reader is encouraged throughout to consider and assess
all possible options, then defend their choices and preferences.
Confronting these issues is critical to reducing racial disparities
and guaranteeing Justice for all. Describing the problems and
assessing the solutions, Justice for All does not identify all
problems or all solutions, but will be of immeasurable value to
criminal justice students and scholars, as well as attorneys,
judges, and legislators, who strive to address the pervasive flaws
in the criminal justice system.

Ten-Mile Morning is a true story about a man's battle to overcome
his five-year struggle with anorexia nervosa. Written from a
painfully honest perspective, Adam Lamparello discusses his past
addictions, depression, anxiety, and the emptiness that arose from
his lack of self-esteem. This moving memoir details the author's
struggle to gain a sense of control and empowerment through
dramatic weight loss, starvation, compulsive exercise, and purging.
Ultimately, however, this is a story of hope and recovery. Ten-Mile
Morning was written to inspire you and affirm that life after
eating disorders is one of self-acceptance, self-respect, and most
of all, one where you can achieve your dreams.
This book argues that the judiciary, particularly the Supreme
Court, should embrace an interpretive framework that promotes equal
participation in the democratic process, fosters accountability,
and facilitates robust public discourse among citizens of all
backgrounds. The authors propose a solution that strives to restore
integrity to the Court's decision-making process by eschewing
ideology and a focus on the utility of outcomes in favor of an
intellectually honest jurisprudence that gives all citizens a
meaningful voice in governance. The work is divided into seven
parts. Parts I-V identify the worst decisions in the Court history
and the common themes that helped produce them. The chapters within
each part are dedicated to a single Supreme Court decision, in
which the authors analyze the Court's reasoning and explain why it
undermined federalism, separation of powers, and democratic
governance. Additionally, the authors explain why these decisions
compromised the relationship between the Court and coordinate
branches, the federal government and the states, and citizens and
their elected representatives. Part VI identifies several of the
best Supreme Court decisions, and explains why they provide a
principled framework that can be applied in other cases and result
in a pro-democracy jurisprudence. Finally, in Part VII the authors
propose a comprehensive solution that should inform the Justices'
judicial philosophies, regardless of ideology, and strive to
promote an equal and participatory democracy. The final chapter
offers concluding thoughts and argues that a healthy democracy is
the foundation upon which equality rests, and that a collective
view of rights is the path by which to restore liberty for all
citizens.
