The law promises justice. Too often, it delivers inequality. This contradiction raises a basic question: Why does a legal system that claims to stand for fairness and equality fail to uphold these ideals over and over?

In Law on Trial, legal scholar and Bronx native Shaun Ossei-Owusu draws on more than a decade of observation and reflection--first as a scholar of inequality, then as a law student, practicing lawyer, and now as an Ivy League law professor--to provide an unvarnished account of the legal system. He reveals that the promise of justice is too often a convenient fiction invoked by lawyers, recited by textbooks, and betrayed in practice.

Street crime gets the fist of the state; white-collar crime gets a gentle hand. Laws meant to protect women and minorities are increasingly turned against them. Immigrants face the law with only the thinnest protections, while the rights of people with disabilities are routinely ignored. And, most quietly, lawyer-driven corporate deals shutter small-town hospitals, deepening America's abandonment of the rural poor. These are not aberrations, but simply how law works in this country.

In this legal odyssey, Ossei-Owusu takes us inside law school classrooms where human suffering is reduced to abstract principles. He brings us to government offices where protecting cities can mean crushing the vulnerable. We go to Big Law conference rooms where power is exercised far from the communities most affected. At every step, he pulls back the curtain on legal education and the legal profession, creating a revelatory, unforgettable account of a system that touches all of us, in one way or another.

A book for nonlawyers, law students, and practicing lawyers alike, Law on Trial explains how a legal system dedicated to fairness is behind many of the social ills of our time, and shows how it can be fixed.

Great product
Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Product is great with good coverage and ease of use. Much better than comparable products because it is very light feeling and doesn't leave a heavy or sticky residue on your skin. Perfect protection for anyone who burns easily or fair skinned. However I paid for the extra rushed 3 day shipping and it was delayed and I wasn't reimbursed the extra shipping charges even though it arrived 6 days later.

Style: SPF 50, Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Purchased this for our trip to Mexico. At two cruise ports we were doing a combination snorkel and pool day. I got this sunscreen because it was reef friendly and came with two bottles. Both bottles were IMPOSSIBLE to spray. You could not sunscreen yourself because you had to hold the bottle just right, push down with extreme force, and have your fingers place very specifically on the lid. My 13 year old and husband couldn’t even use the bottles. I did figure it out so I had to continually sunscreen everyone in the family. No one in my family has sensitive skin, but we all ended up with a fine rash after using this sunscreen. On days prior we used another brand and no one had a problem. We also reapplied often (every 60-90 min) and we still got pretty burnt. Maybe we got a bad batch…

All I use…from NB to 5!
Have used this brand for years, for many children, in sizes from NB to 5! Have used other “natural/organic” brands, but come back to these. They are softer than 7th Gen and more absorbent. Also more absorbent than Honest Co. Earth’s Best also had great diapers, but are no longer available. I like that Babyganics has added the “wetness detector strip,” as it makes it handy for quick checks. The price is middle of the road, as far as natural/organic/chlorine free diapers go. The NB option is wonderful, as other brands (like Bambo Nature and Eco by Naty) start at 1s, which are too big for newborns.

Great ingredients, flawed product
I’ve been using these because they are TCF (total chlorine free) but unfortunately the tabs are hard to open on the side and tend to rip off easily…wasting a new, clean diaper. i’m contemplating switching brands :(

These are very cheaply made and barely stay on. The clasp to keep the diapers closed breaks half of the time when I'm trying to put a fresh diaper on. Won't be buying these again.
