A Secret and Unlawful Killing: A Mystery of Medieval Ireland (Mysteries of Medieval Ireland)
It is 1509 and, for the people of the Burren in western Ireland, the Michaelmas Fair is a joyous time for trade and celebration, signaling the start of autumn. It’s a chance to gather, buy and sell their wares, and pay tribute to the lord of their clans. But this year is different The greedy steward of the MacNamara clan has decided to raise the amount demanded for its tribute, and it’s not long before tempers are running high. When the steward is found beaten to death in the local churchyard, it falls upon Mara, the Burren’s Brehon Judge, to piece the puzzle together. Was it revenge, greed, or something more sinister that motivated the murder? When another body is discovered and alleged a suicide, Mara is unconvinced. And despite the distraction of a surprising offer of marriage, it is up to her to bring the killer to justice before there can be yet another death. .

Beyond the Law: The Bush Administration's Unlawful Responses in the "War" on Terror
This book provides a detailed exposition of violations of international law authorized and abetted by secret memos, authorizations, and orders of the Bush administration. In particular, it describes why several executive claims were in error, what illegal authorizations were given, what illegal interrogation tactics were approved, and what illegal transfers and secret detentions occurred. It provides the most thorough documentation of cases demonstrating that the president is bound by the laws of war; that decisions to detain persons, decide their status, and mistreat them are subject to judicial review during the war; and that the commander-in-chief power is subject to restraints by Congress..

Controlling Unlawful Organizational Behavior: Social Structure and Corporate Misconduct (Studies in Crime and Justice)
Diane Vaughan reconstructs the Ohio Revco case, an example of Medicaid provider fraud in which a large drugstore chain initiated a computer-generated double billing scheme that cost the state and federal government half a million dollars in Medicaid funds, funds that the company believed were rightfully theirs. Her analysis of this incident—why the crime was committed, how it was detected, and how the case was built—provides a fascinating inside look at computer crime. Vaughan concludes that organizational misconduct could be decreased by less regulation and more sensitive bureaucratic response. .

Study on the Enforcement of State Aid Law at National Level: Tom 1 Application of Ec State Aid Rules by National Courts: Recovery of Unlawful State Aid
Last year, the Commission presented its State Aid Action Plan: a comprehensive roadmap for the reform of State aid rules over the next five years. Improving the enforcement of the state aid rules - at all levels - is an essential part of that Action Plan. Efficient and effective enforcement is essential to maintain a level playing field for all competitors in the Single Market. But the Commission cannot enforce the rules alone: national authorities and national courts play a crucial part. They have a particularly important role in enforcing the notification and standstill obligations set out in Article 88(3) of the EC Treaty, and in recovering incompatible aid. This study confirms that there has been a sharp increase in the number of State aid related cases brought before national courts. National judges take seriously their responsibilities in the State aid arena, and are increasingly willing to take a firm stand against illegal aid and to protect individual businesses against violations of the EU rules. Regrettably, however, the powers of national courts are still not being used to the full. Companies are often hesitant to launch proceedings at national level to put an end to the illegal granting of aid to their competitors, or to assert their rights to claim compensation. In some cases, national courts themselves seem uncertain about the powers that they have in the State aid arena, and the locus stand of competitors..
