The court and the world : American law and the new global realities
Breyer, Stephen (1938 -)
The court and the world : American law and the new global realities / Stephen Breyer. - First Edition. - New York : Alfred A. Knopf , 2015 - 382 p. ; 25 cm
Includes bibliographical references (pages 287-359) and index.
Silence : Cicero and his "political question" counterpart -- A second approach : "The President wins" -- A third approach : "The President goes too far" -- "No blank check" : Guantanamo -- Regulating international commerce -- Opening the courthouse door : the Alien Tort Statute and human rights -- Treaty interpretation : child custody -- Investment treaties : arbitration -- The treaty power structure -- Postscript : home alone, a political discussion -- Interchange and substantive progress -- Advancing the rule of law.
Justice Stephen Breyer examines the work of SCOTUS in an increasingly interconnected world, a world in which all sorts of public and private activity - from the conduct of national security policy to the conduct of international trade - obliges the Court to consider and understand circumstances beyond America's borders. At a time when ordinary citizens may book international lodging directly through online sites like Airbnb, it has become clear that judicial awareness can no longer stop at the water's edge.
