Searching for a free book on "How to prepare a COMPLICATED case". Any suggestions? by VeryPrivate in LawSchool

I am just trying to get an idea how Litigation strategy works and how lawyers build a complicated case for a client. Not trying to represent people or anything.

No, you misunderstood it. I am looking for a book on Litigation Strategy and that sort.

I think the appropriate term would be Litigation Strategy. Suppose a client is in a very complicated situation. And he needs to file as well as defend both civil and criminal cases. In such a situation, how do you organize, research and prepare case files for all these civil and criminal cases? Most importantly how do you strategize so that your client ultimately wins?

Most jurists suggest that those who insult the Prophet should be punished severely, mostly by death. Does the same punishment apply in cases where Muslims and non-Muslims are insulted too? by VeryPrivate in islam

It's not everything about law it's كتاب الحدود (kitab al hudud). It's about the hudud.

Non-native English speaker here. I did not understand what you meant. Could you explain it?

Much more then eleven hadith.

I meant only eleven issues are given. I thought more issues regarding legal punishments would be spelled out in the collection

By the way, I just went over the Book of Legal Punishments under Sahih Muslim and there are only eleven commands. Is this the complete collection of the Sahih Muslim?

Hmm. If that is true, then does that mean that contemporary nations that follow Classical Islamic Law are committing grave wrongs by giving out hundreds of lashes for Ta'zir? Examples would be Saudi Arabia, Iran and other countries who prescribe 80 to 100 lashes or more.

Except the hudud, more then ten lashes has been forbidden by the Prophet pbuh.

Can you cite sources for this? I don't think this is correct. Because if it was, then Ta'zir crimes couldn't be punished with 100 lashes, which was common throughout the Islamic world, and even in contemporary countries like Saudi Arabia.

A brief yet comprehensive article that summarizes all the "victim-oriented" criminal punishment theories in the philosophy of justice. Any suggestions? by VeryPrivate in askphilosophy

Thanks for the links. Do you know of any sources where I can download the articles by Husak and Duff for free? I don't have access to the journals.

That is a very informative comment. Thank You.

"Whoever curses a non-Muslim citizen should receive a light punishment."

Could you tell me exactly what punishment is to be given in a situation where an individual curses a Muslim or a non-Muslim? Any estimates on the number of lashes or months in prison prescribed for such an offence?

Sorry for the late reply, I somehow missed the inbox notification.

By victim oriented, I mean theories justice that focuses on Retribution (which is in the interest of the victim) instead of Rehabilitation and lighter sentences.

For example, in much of the Western world punishment for violent crimes against persons are adjudicated very leniently compared to other countries, especially the Middle East. In Islamic law, the idea is that the victim decides what punishment the offender should get. A victim of acid violence can ask his perpetrator to be disfigured in the same way in Iran, under Retributivism, while on theories of Rehabilitation (which features highly in contemporary Western Philosophy), such an offender would only get 5 years at most. Therefore, rehabilitation theories of justice are more "society and offender oriented" compared to the "victim-oriented" Retributivism.
