[{"source":"Parutions universitaires UnivDroit","description":"The Just and the Good How Law Made the Western World William Magnuson Édition : 2026 ISBN: 978-1-647-12742-8 Présentation de l’éditeur In The Just and the Good , William Magnuson takes readers on a sweeping tour of the history of the law in Western civilization. He explains how foundational institutions like courts, codes, and constitutions magically transform the worlds they govern. And he argues that if we want to understand the foundations of freedom, justice, and democracy, we need to begin by looking at the history of the law. In each chapter, Magnuson explores how the pillars of the rule of law were built. How did the courts of ancient Athens create the world's first democracy? Why did the barons of medieval England insist that King John sign the Magna Carta? What was so revolutionary about the American Constitution? And why did it take so long to abolish slavery? Magnuson shows that the answers to these questions are not always as simple as they seem. Good laws require ingenuity, problem-solving, and compromise. A landmark work, The Just and the Good teaches us where our ideas of justice came from and why they are worth saving. William J. Magnuson is a professor at Texas A&M Law School. He was formerly a journalist with the Washington Post and the Associated Press. He is the author of For Profit: A History of Corporations and Blockchain Democracy: Technology, Law, and the Rule of the Crowd.

Elle s’intéresse plus particulièrement aux argumentaires qu’ils construisent, aux savoirs qu’ils mobilisent ainsi qu’aux variations de leurs perspectives selon leurs parcours et leurs positions professionnelles. Sept experts inuit provenant des milieux communautaire, politique, judiciaire, académique et correctionnel ont été rencontrés dans le cadre d’entretiens qualitatifs semi-directifs. L’analyse des entretiens fait ressortir deux grands registres explicatifs. Le premier situe la surreprésentation dans les transformations liées au colonialisme et dans les réalités sociales, familiales et communautaires contemporaines du Nunavik qui leur sont associées. Le second porte sur le fonctionnement des institutions policières, judiciaires et correctionnelles et sur leur rôle dans les trajectoires de judiciarisation et d’incarcération des Inuit. Les experts mobilisent également des conceptions, des pratiques et des savoirs inuit pour mettre en évidence certaines limites des prises en charge institutionnelles. Les résultats montrent qu’une spécificité inuit ressort clairement des argumentaires des experts, sans que celle-ci repose principalement sur une comparaison avec les autres nations autochtones. Malgré la diversité de leurs parcours, les experts proposent des explications largement convergentes et développent une vision d’ensemble de la surreprésentation, dans laquelle les dimensions historiques, sociales et institutionnelles sont étroitement liées. Enfin, leur expertise se construit à partir d’expériences professionnelles, personnelles, familiales et communautaires étroitement imbriquées, ce qui invite à repenser les frontières de l’expertise.; This research examines how Inuit experts understand and explain the marked overrepresentation of Inuit in Quebec’s correctional system. More specifically, it focuses on the arguments they construct, the knowledge they draw on, and variations in their perspectives according to their trajectories and professional positions. Seven Inuit experts from community, political, judicial, academic, and correctional fields participated in qualitative semi-structured interviews. The analysis of the interviews reveals two main explanatory registers. The first situates overrepresentation within the transformations associated with colonialism and the contemporary social, family, and community realities of Nunavik that are linked to them. The second focuses on the functioning of police, judicial, and correctional institutions and their role in Inuit trajectories of criminal justice involvement and incarceration. The experts also draw on Inuit conceptions, practices, and knowledge to highlight certain limitations of institutional responses. The findings show that a distinct Inuit specificity clearly emerges from the experts’ arguments, without relying primarily on comparisons with other Indigenous peoples. Despite the diversity of their trajectories, the experts offer largely convergent explanations and develop an overarching view of overrepresentation in which historical, social, and institutional dimensions are closely interconnected. Finally, their expertise is built from closely intertwined professional, personal, family, and community experiences, inviting a reconsideration of the boundaries of expertise. dc.type: Thèse ou mémoire / Thesis or Dissertation etd.degree.discipline:","source":"Faculté de droit Travaux récents","pubDate":"Thu, 15 Oct 2026 08:11:35 +0200","titre":"La surreprésentation carcérale des Inuit au Québec : regards et expertises inuit","url":"https://hdl.handle.net/1866/46747"}]
