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.

Lawyers were prevented from reaching their detained clients. Lawyers themselves were among those detained simply for trying to do their jobs. Protestors are now being tried without legal representation before courts that lack any semblance of independence or impartiality. Frequent executions are now being carried out following hasty and grossly unfair proceedings. Dissidents who flee Iran may be subjected to transnational repression in . . .
