Advanced Comparative Law

Bureaucracy and Criminal Proceedings

Required

Comparative Law and Criminal Procedure—Measuring Up; Kim R. Lindquist; United States; 2024

(This book, in effect, bridges the Author’s experience between the criminal justice systems of the Western Hemisphere with those of the Eastern Hemisphere. Moreover, it contains new developments in measuring the probative strength of cases and facts.)

Optional

The Elusive Rule of Law; Kim R. Lindquist; United States; 2021.

(As already noted, this book essentially constitutes the English version of the material otherwise presented in the Spanish publications as these relate to the comparative rule of law analysis.)

The Peril—from Colombia to Kabul; Kim R. Lindquist; Fulton Books, United States, 2020

(By means of the Author’s personal experiences over the years as a Federal  Prosecutor and international legal consultant, this work addresses the danger of bureaucracy—the sacrifice of institution in favor of institution preservation—as the same applies to governments, private entities, and citizens  otherwise. The book makes specific reference to the social phenomenon of the transition of criminal justice systems to the accusatory form as an aspect of the bureaucracy phenomenon.)
