Synopsis
Clarence Darrow, perhaps America's most celebrated 20th century lawyer, lamented, "There is no justice anywhere - in or out of court." But do we want justice as much as we claim? Perfect justice would mean a citation for every "rolling stop" and speeding ticket every time we exceed the speed limit by at least one mile-per-hour. Further, when is the exclamation, "No fair!" an objective assessment rather than a subjective reaction to conditions not to our liking? In this treatise Professor Malikow analyzes justice by defining it and addressing when it is incompatible with morality. Questions addressed in this book include:
How does the law sometimes create unfairness?
What constitutes a fair distribution of wealth?
Should some athletes and entertainers earn more than the President of the United States?
What is fair compensation for wrongful imprisonment?
How is action determined when the law prevents compassion?
Legally, when are we not responsible for our behavior?
Is capital punishment cruel and inhumane?
What is the veil of ignorance?
When is civil disobedience justified?
Max Malikow is on the faculty of Syracuse University's Renee Crown Honors Program, an Adjunct Professor of Philosophy at LeMoyne College, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. He earned a Master's degree from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and doctorate from Boston University. He resides in Syracuse, New York with his wife Diane and German Shepherd Rylee.
