Oxford University Press Principles of French Law
Book SynopsisPrinciples of French Law offers a comprehensive introduction to French law and the French legal system in terms which a common lawyer can understand. The authors give an explanation of the institutions, rules and techniques that characterize the major branches of French law. The chapters provide the reader with a clear sense of the questions that French lawyers see as important and how they would answer them.In the ten years since the publication of the first edition, French law has changed in significant ways. European Union law and the European Convention on Human Rights have had a significant impact, especially on procedural law and family law. There has been a new Commercial Code, major legislation on divorce, succession and criminal law, as well as significant developments in the Constitution. In addition, there have been considerable developments in the case-law and a much discussed proposal for reform of major areas of the law of obligations.The chapters present not only the rulTrade ReviewReview from previous edition '...to those who want a single book on French law, one can strongly recommend it...' * Tony Weir, Law Quarterly Review *Table of ContentsIntroduction: The Spirit of French Law ; PART I: THE SYSTEM ; 1.

Oxford University Press The Paradox of Constitutionalism
Book SynopsisThe book sets out to examine some of the key features of what we describe as the paradox of constitutionalism: whether those who have the authority to make a constitution - the ''constituent power'' - can do so without effectively surrendering that authority to the institutional sites of power ''constituted'' by the constitutional form they enact. In particular, is the constituent power exhausted in the single constitutive act or does it retain a presence, acting as a critical check on the constitutional operating system and/or an alternative source of authority to be invoked in moments of crisis? These questions have been debated both in different national contexts and at the level of constitutional theory, and these debates are acknowledged and developed in the first two sections of the book. Part I includes chapters on how the question of constituent power has been treated in the constitutional histories of USA, France, UK and Germany, while Part II examines the question of constituTable of ContentsINTRODUCTION ; 1.

Yale University Press Democracys Privileged Few
Book SynopsisCompares the freedoms and protections of members of the United States Congress with those of Britain's Parliament. In analysing the story of how parliamentary government emerged in Britain and how it crossed the Atlantic, this book illuminates a variety of constitutional issues, including the separation of powers, and the nature of representation.Trade Review"Josh Chafetz manages to combine scholarly care with an almost journalistic ability to write in an accessible fashion."—Nick Barber, Oxford University -- Nick Barber"A very distinguished work. Chafetz is beautifully clear and deals with an interesting problem concerning parliamentary government in Britain and America in a comparative manner. I do not know of any work which covers the ground in a similar way."—Vernon Bogdanor, Oxford University -- Vernon Bogdanor"This book heralds the arrival of an important new scholar in the fields of comparative constitutional law and legal history. Fitting a broad range of institutional details into a comprehensive and subtle theoretical framework, Chafetz shows how Congressional privileges in America and Parliamentary privileges in England sprang from common origins but then evolved along separate paths as a result of basic differences in the political ecosystems. An excellent chronicle of the evolution of legislative privileges from the parliamentary supremacy of England to the popular sovereignty in kingless America."—Akhil Amar, Yale Law School -- Akhil Amar“A thorough and well-researched treatment of an important and neglected topic. Chafetz’s historical overview on legislative privilege deserves to become a well-known point of reference.”—Adrian Vermeule, Professor of Law, Harvard Law School -- Adrian Vermeule
