Marriage Settlements 1601-1740
Lloyd Bonfield
The history of the family has become an area of great interest, yet the property arrangements entered into upon marriage, a crucial aspect of the process of familial wealth transmission and distribution in the landed classes in early modern England, have never been systematically studied. In the light of evidence provided by hitherto unused family muniments, Dr Bonfield analyses the legal, social and economic aspects of these settlements, and discusses the development and impact of the strict settlement.

Privacy and the Law
Jethro K. Lieberman
This is the first of a three-book series on law for the secondary school market. It examines in an accessible way questions about privacy that the framers of our Constitution could not foresee, including electronic surveillance, monitoring of telephone conversations, and the unauthorized use of personal information stored in computers. Privacy and the Law examines the issue through several case studies, and concludes with cases posed to students, with answers at the back of the book.

How the Government Breaks the Law (1973)
Jethro K. Lieberman
A study of government lawlessness — of "official lawbreaking" — published just as Watergate was beginning to unfold, with case studies illustrating the many ways governments from the village level to the courts, Congress, and the White House duck, ignore, and defy the laws that it is their duty to enforce and uphold.

The Tyranny of the Experts: How the Professionals and Specialists are Closing the Open Society (1970)
Jethro K. Lieberman
In a detailed analysis of the rise of the professional class in the United States, Jethro K. Lieberman describes how we have turned over to others the power to make many of our most important decisions — from the governmental to the personal. Far from shunning such responsibilities, these modern-day guilds have vigorously sought to establish themselves as untrammeled arbiters in a host of activities. Lieberman explores the subtle ways in which licensing, self-regulation, elaborate codes of ethics, and even the educational system provide the professional with not only a good image but high profits and a shield from public scrutiny and interference.

Understanding Our Constitution
Jethro K. Lieberman

My first foray into writing about the Constitution and constitutional law. I wrote it while in law school, after taking the required two-semester course in constitutional law from Paul Freund. The experience in writing it and some of the critiques when published led me eventually to understand that a clause-by-clause analysis of the Constitution is not the best way to explain and explore constitutional issues, though all books at the time, I think, did so. The problem was on my mind for a long time and a quarter of a century later I landed on the topical approach of The Evolving Constitution and its sequels. This was the first of five books for which Edward L. Burlingame served as my editor. It was also my first book to find its way into a paperback edition.
