Sovereign Imaginaries: Visualizing The Sacred Foundation Of Law’S Authority, Richard K. Sherwin
Sovereign Imaginaries: Visualizing The Sacred Foundation Of Law’S Authority, Richard K. Sherwin
Articles & Chapters
If a world is to be lived in, it must be founded. This foundational function belongs to the sovereign imagination. What a polity names as sovereign in the state of exception, when the sacred irrupts anew, is a matter of individual and collective responsibility. In this dispensation, law, politics, and religion become inescapably entangled in metaphysics. It behooves us to understand the nature and consequences of this state of affairs.

There Is A World Elsewhere: Preliminary Studies On Alternatives To Interest-Based Bargaining, F. Peter Philips

Islam's Fourth Amendment: Search And Seizure In Islamic Doctrine And Muslim Practice, Sadiq Reza
Islam's Fourth Amendment: Search And Seizure In Islamic Doctrine And Muslim Practice, Sadiq Reza
Articles & Chapters
Modern scholars regularly assert that Islamic law contains privacy protections similar to those of the FourthAmendment to the U.S. Constitution. Two Quranic verses in particular - one that commands Muslims not to enter homes without permission, and one that commands them not to 'spy' - are held up, along with reports from the Traditions (Sunna) that repeat and embellish on these commands, as establishing rules that forbid warrantless searches and seizures by state actors and require the exclusion of evidence obtained in violation of these rules.

Torture And Islamic Law, Sadiq Reza
Torture And Islamic Law, Sadiq Reza
Articles & Chapters
This article considers the relationship between Islamic law and the absence or practice of investigative torture in the countries of today's Muslim world. Torture is forbidden in the constitutions, statutes, and treaties of most Muslim-majority countries, but a number of these countries are regularly named among those in which torture is practiced with apparent impunity. Among these countries are several that profess a commitment to Islamic law as a source of national law, including some that identify Islamic law as the principal source of law and some that go so far as to declare themselves "Islamic states." The status of …
Religion And The Public Defender, Sadiq Reza
Religion And The Public Defender, Sadiq Reza
Articles & Chapters
It takes a special breed to have the understanding, compassion
and dedication to do what criminal defense lawyers do .... As
for public defenders - they are doing God's work. If Christ had
been a lawyer, he would have been a public defender.
Virtually all public defenders fight a daily battle against burnout
and the creeping erosion of confidence that inevitably accompany
defending acts we cannot condone and protecting those who are
the source of so much harm and grief. . . . Whether the process
unfolds subtly or suddenly, all defenders must confront the disturbing
consequences of their zealous …
