Beyond the Law: The Religious and Ethical Meaning of the Lawyer's Vocation by Ja

Description: Beyond the Law by James A. Pike Post-conflict African states such as Sierra Leone face critical challenges as they embark on the complex tasks of reconciliation, peace and the rebuilding of war-torn societies. Conflict transformation ultimately depends on the democratization of society, in ways that promote equitable inclusiveness in the political process, social justice and the promotion of citizenship rights. This collection of three essays explores the significance of Sierra Leones 2007 elections in the light of the quest of the people for a democracy that is responsive to social demands, welfare and popular aspirations. It provides first-hand information and analysis of the struggles of the Sierra Leonean citizens to overcome the legacy of a traumatic past, by using their vote to sanction bad governance, and choose a path to a good life and a sustainable democracy as the most viable guarantee for peace and development.

Recommended to law, religious, and large public libraries."-Library Journal Kirkus US Review Before he became an Episcopal priest, the Rt. Rev. James A. Pike, now Bishop of California, was a lawyer, and is still a member of the California bar. No one is better qualified to speak and write of the religious and ethical meaning of the lawyers vocation. This book comprises the Rosenthal Lectures for 1962 which he gave before the Northwestern University Law School. In style and content they make lively reading, completely devoid of the obscurity of legal jargon or ecclesiastical obfuscation. The problems of decision and behavior which confront every lawyer all seem to be the problems the human race is heir to, even though the ethics of the law may seem to pose some rarefied situations. Still, the client is a person, and the lawyer has need to be a pastor as well as legal counselor, with a heart and human concern as well as analytical skill. There is scarcely any phase of the lawyers professional and personal life which Bishop Pike does not touch upon, and one rather imagines that this book will be made readily available to young law students as they prepare for this ??
