Pre Civil

When most people think of the criminal justice system they think of cops, jail time and hardened criminals. However the system isn't as simple and one pronged as that. There is actually another component that most people are also familiar with even if they don't realize it. Civil litigation is actually a huge part of our social system and encompasses all of the non-criminal aspects of life that can cause conflict and need resolutions. The most common areas that this type of litigation is used in include tenant-landlord disputes, neighbor disputes, employment disputes such as worker compensation claims, and other areas such as malpractice suits or suing a school district.

And unlike small claims court where neither party can use an attorney in court, civil litigation often requires an attorney to help the parties work through the issue to a successful resolution.

Civil litigation usually starts with a conflict that is unresolved between two parties. The next stage begins when one or both parties seek legal counsel. Once it reaches this stage the attorney will investigate the claim for merits and if there is cause for a case, it moves to the next stage, which is putting the complaint in writing and notifying the other party.

This formal documentation is called pleadings.

The next step is an exchange of information and facts between the two parties of evidence that is intended to be brought up in court. This stage is called discovery and if the opposition feels your case is stronger at this point the whole matter can end with a settlement. If on the other hand both sides feel their case is strong enough for a win, it continues on to a pre trial and then a trial and then of course a judgment. At any point either party can attempt to settle rather than risk the judgment of a court.

Since this type of litigation carries no jail sanctions or criminal record for the losing party, neither party can be appointed a court appointed attorney as a defendant can in a criminal court proceeding. So if you are willing to pursue civil litigation you will need to be prepared for the cost for your attorney and other court cost. Some cases can be settled rather quickly and other cases can go on for years depending on the degree of severity and how much money each party can afford to throw at them. Cigarette companies for example have been notorious for stretching out lawsuits against them for years and fighting any judgments that go against them for even longer. So depending on whom you are going against and the strength of your case and how deep your own pockets are, you may be in for a long fight.

And, also unlike criminal law where the state ensures the sanctions are imposed, if you win a monetary judgment you still have to collect it and often this involves more civil litigation to garnish wages and property towards your judgment.

Moralists and Modernizers: America's Pre-Civil War Reformers $8.55 The decades before the Civil War saw the first secular efforts in history to remake society through reform. Reformers launched unprecedented campaigns reform criminals and prostitutes, to educate the deaf and the blind, guarantee women's rights, and abolish slavery. Our modern systems of free public schools, prisons, and hospitals for the mentally ill are all legacies of this era. Moralists and Modernizers tells the fascinating story of America's first age of reform -- combining incisive portraits of leading reformers and movements with perceptive analysis of religion, politics, and society. Arguing that the reform impulse grew out of the era's peculiar mix of fear and hope, Steven Mintz shows that reform arose not only from fears of social disorder, family fragmentation, and widening class divisions, but also from a millennialist sense of possibility rooted in new religious and philosophical ideas. He then examines three distinct responses to pre-Civil War America's pressing social problems. Moral reform sought to create a Christian moral order using moral suasion. Social reform combatted poverty, crime, and ignorance through new institutions offering non-authoritarian forms of social control. Radical reform sought to regenerate American society by eliminating fundamental sources of inequality such as slavery and racial and sexual discrimination. In an epilogue, Mintz fits antebellum reform into the larger context of America's liberal tradition. Mintz concludes that America's pre-Civil War reformers were at once moral critics and cultural modernizers. As exponents of a distinctly modern set of values, reformers attacked outmoded customs, smoothed the transition from a preindustrial to an industrial order, and devised modern bureaucratic systems of criminal justice, public education, and social welfare. The first comprehensive account antebellum reform to appear in twenty years, Moralists and Modernizers is a rich and rewarding work of synthesis and interpretation which draws upon the most recent historical research. "This book charts a middle ground between those who regard reform as a form of class-based social control and those who stress reformers' benevolent intentions. It emphasizes the duality of antebellum reform, which blended impulses toward social and moral uplift with impulses to impose new codes of personal conduct, shape character, and construct new institutions of social control." -- from Moralists and Modernizers

US Civil-Military Relations After 9/11 $95 Civil-military relations in America have essentially been a bargain to determine the responsibilities and prerogatives of the civilian leadership on one hand and the military on the other. Circumstances, be they political, social, or other, may render the terms of the bargain obsolete, resulting in tensions that call for their renegotiation. For example, substantial renegotiation of civil-military relations took place at the end of the Cold War and after the attacks of 9/11. Such debates bring on new answers to the four questions that lie at the heart of civil-military relations: 1) Who controls the military and how? 2) Who serves? 3) What is the appropriate role of the military? and 4) What degree of military influence is appropriate in a liberal society?. US Civil-Military Relations After 9/11 examines the answers to these questions in their historical context, both pre- and post-9/11. This timely work will be an essential text for anyone studying public policy, civil-military relations, and securities studies.

The Reintegration of American History: Slavery and the Civil War $28.76 William W. Freehling is one of America's leading historians. His groundbreaking works on slavery and the years leading up to the Civil War have earned him numerous awards and prizes. His first book, Prelude to Civil War: The Nullification Controversy in South Carolina, 1816-1836, was hailed as one of the most significant studies of the pre-Civil War era, and earned him the prestigious Bancroft Prize and the Allan Nevins Prize for history. And his Owsley Prize-winning The Road to Disunion: Secessionists at Bay, 1776-1854, was praised by the Washington Times as "A triumph of historical research and art." This provocative collection of essays, all of them new or thoroughly revised, synthesizes thirty years of Freehling's writing and reflection on the nature of slavery and the causes of the Civil War. He offers a fascinating look at subjects such as the nonradical nature of the American Revolution, as seen in the Founding Fathers' chary manner in promoting the antislavery cause. He illuminates the problematic concept of a "paternalism" which supposedly harmonized liberty for slaveholders (those who could protect themselves) with protection for slaves and impoverished whites (those who would allegedly fail as free men). Freehling then considers slaveholders' attempts to reconcile slavery with democracy and thus formulate a coherent world view, especially as seen in the strained ideologies of John C. Calhoun, George Fitzhugh, and James Henley Thornwell. In an important new interpretation of slave resistance, such as the Denmark Vesey uprising of 1822 (which sought to undercut this paternalistic reconciliation of democracy and slavery), he describes rebellious slaves' success in castingdoubt on the compatibility of democratic and authoritarian realms, and fugitive slaves' success in provoking Civil War and emancipation. Stressing the need for a new synthesis of American history both chronologically and topically, Freehling explains why the Civil War came, relating it to the American Revolution and the reasons why the Confederacy lost the Civil War. Likewise, the nature of slavery as a social institution is connected with the nature of pre-war politics and to the outcome of wartime military encounters. Enhanced with brief introductions, the essays lay out the design of a new multicultural history of the United States, one which emphasizes the way African Americans, white women, and white men condition each other and foster social and political change.

The Papers of the Hothams, Governors of Hull During the Civil War $57.54 This edition publishes the Hotham family's correspondence and papers during the civil wars, bringing together for the first time material from the University of Hull Archives, the British and Bodleian Libraries and the National Archives. It comprises the papers of Sir John Hotham, parliamentarian governor of Hull, and his eldest son and deputy governor Lieutenant-General John Hotham. Their correspondents include the Fairfaxes, Hampden, Lenthall, Pym, Saye and the Earl of Newcastle. The volume demonstrates Hull's critical military significance, where the Hothams' pre-war defiance of Charles I rendered them figures of national consequence. It provides important evidence for attitudes to honour, the civil war in the north and the internal politics of parliament's cause. It also sheds new light on Sir John Hotham's trial for conspiring to betray Hull. Ultimately, it demonstrates the dilemma of allegiance encountered by a gentry family whose concerns for personal status and reputation consumed them.
