Paige, first Negro magisti ate in the history of New York City, w§s born at Jv.ontgc m- ery, Alabama, July 18, 1898. Ris parents were I\.yle s A. Paige, a government employee, and the former Laujr a E. Coleman, a schoolteacher. Of the house in which he was born, Judge Paige says that it was as comfo:it - able, spacious and elegant as any in that locality "I was one of six children," he remarked in an interview, " and there was plenty of room in that it-Hise for all of us." The elder Paige died when young hyles was onli 2 years old. This left his mother with 6 small ch:aid. - ren, the oldest of whom was only 10. Iviyles was the next to ,the oldest, and he early felt the necessity of wprking after school to help his mother. His mother never married again, and reared her family alone. As a child hyles worked after school hours, on Saturdays, and in the summer vacations. He finally got work as an elevator operator in one of the leading department stores in Montgomery.

  • Fictional Reality and the Portrayal of Justice in Modern Sociology and Contemporary Novels
    Free Inquiry In Creative Sociology Volume 34 NO.2 November 2006 133 FICTIONAL REALITY AND THE PORTRAYAL OF JUSTICE IN MODERN SOCIOLOGY AND CONTEMPORARY NOVELS Ralph G. O'Sullivan, Chillicothe, IL ABSTRACT Social justice is a popular subject of discussion in sociology, politics, jurisprudence, as well as popular novels. The outcomes of its proceedings are equally curious because that which is "'just" depends upon such variables as defining the direction that justice needs to take; allocating authority to enforce it; and public reaction to its consequences. This article represents a layered investigative journey into the portrayal of justice in nine popular series novels because its fictional enactment represents the way that the population would like to see it enforced, but does not. Since the body of the material reviewed here are works of fiction which incorporate known data a new expression is offered. Fictional reality refers to the ways in which novelists weave fair knowledge about modern justice into stories which please their audiences, and this article explores the means by which that melding occurs. "You want justice done, you got to get it search for truth that the author shares" writes yourself.

  • Judas Gate (Sean Dillon Series, Book 18) Pdf, Epub, Ebook
    JUDAS GATE (SEAN DILLON SERIES, BOOK 18) PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Jack Higgins | 368 pages | 28 Apr 2011 | HarperCollins Publishers | 9780007385607 | English | London, United Kingdom Judas Gate (Sean Dillon Series, Book 18) PDF Book The characters were no more than cardboard cut outs. Sean Dillon has an idea of who it may be, an old nemesis who has clearly gotten tired of their interference in his schemes. Sadly, not recommended. This is my second Jack Higgins book this month. He first appeared in Eye of the Storm , and a new Sean Dillon novel has hit bookstore shelves almost every year since. He doesn't learn anything conclusive, but his visit does ruffle the feathers of some old IRA supporters who still believe Dillon turned on them. Published January 10th by Brilliance Audio first published Deep Fire Rising. There are four or five reoccurring members of this elite force run by a retired General of the British Military, who happens to run this ultra secret group. Kind of a standardized plot with OK characters. I have read his efforts since I was a young reader at which point the content was probably inappropriate for me. We have an amazing shot by Dillon, at dawn, in a pouring rain, off-balance, and at some distance in misty marshes, as he wounds Shamrock, but even that is contrived. Error rating book. I've followed Dillon from his days as an IRA villain to his current role as wry anti-hero Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. Along the way, we hear a lot about the Troubles and their aftermath in Ireland, yet see little of the consequences of that often brutal and tragic period in Irish history.

DEWEY AND EARL WARREN: THm RISE OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY URBAN PROSECUTOR LAWRENCE FLEISCHER* INTRODUCTION The study of the American urban prosecutor, a key political-legal officer who carries the immense power of "prosecutorial discretion," has yet to attract serious historical research. A review of the published literature suggests the first crucial period of development occurred during the Jacksonian period when the office broke free of its traditional administrative role as the adjunct of the court. During this period the local urban prosecutor became an elected official.1 This unmoored the office from the anchor of the judiciary and set it sailing into the realm of politics. Essential- ly, this set the standard throughout the nineteenth and the early part of the twentieth centuries of an office beholden to the electorate in the most intimate political sense, and established the office as the keystone of the criminal justice system.
