A compilation of inspiring and true stories on the importance of an independent judiciary and the rule of law.
Judges Under Fire: Human Rights, Independent Judges, and the Rule of Law
http://maestro.abanet.org/trk/click?ref=zpqri74vj_3-23b37x22ae5dx04702&

This inspiring and persuasive collection of true stories seeks to illustrate what can happen when the judiciary is stripped of its independence and prevented from following the rule of law. While it provides some lessons from foreign nations where the rule of law has been sublimated to opportunistic leaders, it also provides a chilling reminder that it can happen here.

The author includes compelling, real stories on:

    Judicial Independence and the American Colonies
    The People's Court in Nazi Germany
    Bench and Bar in the People's Republic of China.
    Destabilized Pakistan's Independent Judiciary
    A Serbian Judge Fights for the Rule of Law
    U.S. v. Bayless--A Home-Grown Challenge in the Rule of Law
    The Face of an Independent Judiciary
    And much more!
