		Law was the one man John Paul could trust to return America to Catholic orthodoxy.
		The more Law was persecuted, the greater was his glory, at least until the evidence proving his shocking behavior eventually buried him for good.
		The second reason Law kept his job for so long: The Vatican believed he carried the God-given mark of his ordination — a seal that cannot be erased by bureaucratic reshuffling to appease unhappy stockholders.

	Human Rights Watch World Report 2004: Above the Law: Executive Power after September 11 in the United States
		U.S. law permits detention of a witness when his or her testimony is material to a criminal proceeding, and when the witness presents a risk of absconding before testifying.
		During an international armed conflict, the laws of war permit the detention of captured enemy soldiers until the end of the war; it is not necessary to bring charges or hold trials.
		The administration insists that the laws of war give it unfettered authority to hold combatants as long as the war continues—and the administration argues that the relevant “war” is that against terrorism, not the long since concluded international armed conflict in Afghanistan during which most of the Guantánamo detainees were picked up.

	Review: Lawless World by Philippe Sands \| Review \| Guardian Unlimited Books
		In exploring the evolution of international law since the second world war, and the new American attitude of withdrawal and unilateralism, it goes to the very heart of the nature of the international order and its future.
		He recognises that international law is opaque and largely undemocratic, but believes, perhaps too optimistically, that the processes and institutions are being opened up, albeit slowly.
		Above all, though, it is authoritative and ruthless in its analysis of the conduct of the United States and withering about the role of Britain.

	Above the law \| World dispatch \| Guardian Unlimited
		Last month, the Italian parliament approved a hugely controversial law that granted immunity from prosecution to five top state officials - the president, the head of the constitutional court, the speakers of the two houses of parliament and the prime minister.
		The ministry's argument would anyway be more understandable if it were not for the fact that, while the immunity bill was in parliament, members of Mr Berlusconi's own party repeatedly assured their opponents that it was intended solely to block trials and not investigations.
		The prosecutors, for their part, have argued that - whatever the scope of the law - Mr Caselli's intervention is at odds with Italy's penal code, which states that the justice ministry can only stop a rogatoire at the outset.

		Law's iceberg hit last Sunday, when a London tabloid reported the bedroom confessions of Daisy Wright, the 26-year-old carer hired by his ex-wife to look after their three children.
		When her marriage to Law folded, Frost wanted the world to know she thought he was a love rat - playing around while she stayed at home with the kids.
		Those claims were dismissed by Law's fans as the bitter ravings of a jilted lover - and after all, his new union with Miller was deemed a picture-perfect match.

	Reasons for Movie Ratings (CARA) - Frequently Asked Questions
		No; the system is not designed to serve the function of "critic." The ratings do not determine or reflect whether a film is "good" or "bad." The system is not intended to approve, disapprove or censor any film; it merely assigns a rating for guidance--leaving the decision-making responsibilities to the parents.
		Submitting a film is purely a voluntary decision made by the filmmakers.
		Parents are urged to learn as much about a film as possible before they permit their children to attend.

	SMR DVD Review: Above The Law (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Action icon Steven Seagal's debut film, Above the Law, bows on DVD from Warner with both a new widescreen video transfer and remastered audio.
		As with most of Seagal's films, the story is really only secondary and only serves to give our boy a reason to beat the crap out of as many guys as possible.
		There is a bit of what appears to be film grain noticeable in a few shots, but this is very minor and not at all objectionable.

	Above the law? :: Honolulu Weekly
		A bill establishing regulations for Hawai‘i’s bail bond industry has failed to make it through the Senate, despite calls from police and bail agents who believe regulation is necessary.
		Supporters of HB3014 have argued that the bail industry is in a gray area of the law.
		Presently, there are no laws in place that define the authority a bounty hunter has when apprehending and detaining bail jumpers.

	Translation and the Law
		He starts from the three 'laws' of translation laid down by Alexander Fraser Tytler, Lord Woodhouselee, in 1813: the translator has to strike a balance between giving a complete transcript of the ideas of the original work; recreating the style of writing of the original work; and achieving the ease of original composition.
		Joseph argues that the second law, the recreation of style, must be discarded in legal translation: everything must give way to at least attempting to satisfy the first law, the presentation of the ideas of the original.
		She writes of a thirteenth-century work on law, 'Las Siete Partidas' (The Seven Books of Law), created at the court of Alfonso X of Castile and Leone, a kind of early medieval code for all the provinces of Spain.

	Civil Rights:Law Library of Congress
		As the number of court cases and judicial precedents increased, the body of common law grew and expanded the concept that originated from Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
		When you try to locate law concerning a specific aspect of the Civil Rights Act, it is important to review all of these sources to understand fully the issue.
		Often, in order to learn why a law was enacted or how the law is intended to apply, you must also review the legislative history documents promulgated during the consideration of the passage of the law.

	Above the Law (1988) . Movie reviews by Dr. Edwin Jahiel.
		Rated R. With a radically modified story, different direction, casting, photography and editing production, "Above the Law" could have been an OK addition to conspiracy theory movies.
		ABOVE THE LAW is an opportunistic exploitation, low I.Q. movie, inspired by the Iran-Contra and similar affairs.
		Pam Grier pronounces Chile as "Chi-LAY." I pronounce ABOVE THE LAW a mess.

	CONTEXT - This Week in Arts and Ideas from The Moscow Times (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Russian film continues to go from strength to strength, churning out boxoffice hits and quirky arthouse releases.
		It is, in fact, the concluding play, the symphonic crescendo, of a trilogy that follows loosely connected people through harrowing and inevitably futile confrontations with the bureaucracy and the law.
		The first play, "Krechinsky's Wedding," portrays the cheerful, simple Muromsky whose life is brought to the brink of ruin when his daughter becomes implicated in a swindle concocted by her unscrupulous suitor.

	Movie Review of ABOVE THE LAW only at RuthlessReviews.Com
		Above the Law is competently directed and written and decently acted.
		A pre-stardom Sharon Stone is in the film, but my favorite performance comes from the guy who plays the trash talking bartender and owner of a bar/brothel.
		But this film is The Communist Manifesto of a genre in which the benchmark of leftism is giving the protagonist a fl sidekick and, in cases of radicalism, allowing that sidekick to survive until the end of the film.

	Nobody is above the law
		If the immigrant had been taken to the station of the Carabinieri for questioning and later arrested if it was certain that offences had been committed, the episode would have concluded normally.
		The beating was quite gratuitous; those who represent the law must not violate it.
		Episodes like this that can be seen in the film have the only result to increase the risk of attacks in our country and to increase the welling up of hatred.

	First Seminars in Law and Society :: The College of New Jersey
		The interdisciplinary concentration in Law and Society would be attractive to students exploring the possibility of going to law school, but also to students interested in law, but not intending to pursue a legal education.
		The humanities perspectives provide the ethical and philosophical foundation for the study of law, while the social perspectives allow students to view law in historical, social and economic context.
		Finally, the law courses give students an opportunity to examine one or more substantive areas of the law.

		This is the film that eventually made Steven Seagal the biggest star since Stallone and Schwartzenegger.

		Being the number one student would be quite the accomplishment if it weren't for the fact that Kagerou was born into the lower Genin caste of ninjas, as opposed to the high-level Jonin class.
		The lack of funds is evident in the setting; most of the film's scant running time is spent in the forest with little attempt to approximate any historical time period.
		Knowing that, most people are going to come into the film looking for some solid martial arts action.

	DVD.net : Nico: Above The Law - DVD Review
		If you haven't seen any of his early films recently (like myself), Nico will be a revelation, as Seagal actually looks like he could whip the butts of the dozens of guys he takes on simultaneously.
		It's interesting to note that the main theme of the film is that those who consider themselves "above the law" (in this case, the corrupt cops, FBI agents and politicians) are almost inevitably drawn to evil, and must subsequently be bought to justice...
		Nico: Above the Law is an effective martial arts fightfest starring an Aikido expert who genuinely looks like he could dish out the punishment that he inflicts.

		Above the Law was Seagal's debut film which also saw him co-producing and co-writing along with director Andrew Davis (The Fugitive), not to mention choreographing all the fights with his students.
		Above the Law contains enough car chases, fights, and gun battles to satisfy dedicated action fans.
		More casual viewers will doubtless be put off by stiff acting and a plot that meanders towards the end, resulting in quick yet bloody finale.
