Cambridge University Press Statutory Interpretation
Book SynopsisStatutory interpretation involves the reconstruction of the meaning of a legal statement when it cannot be considered as accepted or granted. This phenomenon needs to be considered not only from the legal and linguistic perspective, but also from the argumentative one - which focuses on the strategies for defending a controversial or doubtful viewpoint. This book draws upon linguistics, legal theory, computing, and dialectics to present an argumentation-based approach to statutory interpretation. By translating and summarizing the existing legal interpretative canons into eleven patterns of natural arguments - called argumentation schemes - the authors offer a system of argumentation strategies for developing, defending, assessing, and attacking an interpretation. Illustrated through major cases from both common and civil law, this methodology is summarized in diagrams and maps for application to computer sciences. These visuals help make the structures, strategies, and vulnerabilities of legal reasoning accessible to both legal professionals and laypeople.Trade Review'The authors do not assume extensive prior knowledge of the five varied disciplines that the work integrates, defining key concepts as needed and pointing out relevant areas of controversy in the literature … This work will be of primary interest to researchers in artificial intelligence and law, statutory interpretation, argumentation theory, and pragmatics.' Emily Da Silva, Canadian Law Library ReviewTable of Contents1. Interpretation and statutory interpretation; 2. Statutory interpretation as problem solving; 3. Interpretation and pragmatics: legal ambiguity; 4. Pragmatic maxims and presumptions in legal interpretation; 5. Arguments of statutory interpretation and argumentation schemes; 6. Classification and formalization of interpretative schemes.

Cambridge University Press The Disinformation Age
Book SynopsisThe intentional spread of falsehoods and attendant attacks on minorities, press freedoms, and the rule of law challenge the basic norms and values upon which institutional legitimacy and political stability depend. How did we get here? The Disinformation Age assembles a remarkable group of historians, political scientists, and communication scholars to examine the historical and political origins of the post-fact information era, focusing on the United States but with lessons for other democracies. Bennett and Livingston frame the book by examining decades-long efforts by political and business interests to undermine authoritative institutions, including parties, elections, public agencies, science, independent journalism, and civil society groups. The other distinguished scholars explore the historical origins and workings of disinformation, along with policy challenges and the role of the legacy press in improving public communication. This title is also available as Open Access onTrade Review'This is a hard-hitting book that is richly layered theoretically. It adds much to our understanding of disinformation in democracy while also serving as proof of the necessity of making research on disinformation an area of study across disciplines. The intellectually diverse and distinguished contributors have produced a must-read volume for all interested in disinformation and anyone interested in the future of democracy.' Bruce Bimber, University of California, Santa Barbara'This volume traces the deep, thorny, and twisted roots of disinformation in American politics. In sobering detail, it lays bare the psychological, institutional, economic, partisan, technological, (geo)political, and regulatory underpinnings of disinformation, making it urgently clear why and how disinformation is neither accidental nor (easily) curable. Yet this book also offers a sliver of hope in the form of implicit and explicit guidance for changes that could help keep disinformation in check.' Amber E. Boydstun, University of California, Davis'The Disinformation Age offers a sweeping series of chapters from leading scholars that cover the history, politics, implications, and potential solutions to the problem of disinformation in democracy. This expertly curated book eschews disciplinary boundaries to offer a sophisticated holistic understanding of the problem of disinformation. Even more, it knits together the voices of scholars seldom in the same conversation and reveals the power of this emerging field to provide us with ways to protect democracy from those who seek to destroy its epistemological foundations.'

Cambridge University Press A Realistic Theory of Law
Book SynopsisThis book is for legal theorists and social scientists interested in a theory of law as a social institution that changes in form and function over time and place, in connection with social, cultural, economic, political, ecological, and technological factors. The realistic theory presents a holistic vision of law within society.Trade Review'This book displays Tamanaha's strengths: it is thoughtful, grounded on broad scholarship, written clearly, argued well, and offers a fair portrayal of contrary views. … This is a very good and very important work. It is learned, clear, and provocative - in the best sense of that word.' Brian H. Bix, Frederick W. Thomas Professor of Law and Philosophy, University of Minnesota'Tamanaha has written a book which will revive socio-legal theory and, in particular, will re-introduce historical jurisprudence as a key dimension for any social theory of law. This is a timely and important book, and promises to make a contribution to legal theory equal to if not more important than Tamanaha's earlier landmark books. Tamanaha works out a systematic account of the way in which concepts and notions of law transform from one historical era to another, at both local, state, and international levels, thereby showing detached, ahistorical theories to be misguided. The book will be of interest not only to socio-legal theorists and students, but to legal philosophers as well, as Tamanaha sets many of his key arguments against much mainstream analytical legal theory (e.g. the work of H. L. A. Hart, Joseph Raz, and John Finnis).' Michael Giudice, York University, Canada'This book presents a masterly overview of a complex tradition. Tamanaha combines a bold historical overview with acute analysis to make a compelling case that social legal theory and empirical studies are an essential part of understanding law.' William Twining, University College London'This book develops a holistic theory of law as a social institution with varying forms and functions, tracing law from hunter-gatherer societies to the modern state and beyond.' Howard S. Erlanger, Law & Social InquiryTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1. The third branch of jurisprudence; 2. What is law?; 3. Necessary and universal truths about law?; 4. A genealogical view of law; 5. Law in the age of organizations; 6. What is international law?; Conclusion: a realistic theory of law.

University of Chicago Press Learning to Love Form 1040 Two Cheers for the
Book SynopsisNo one likes paying taxes, much less the process of filing tax returns. In this title, the author argues that filing taxes can strengthen fiscal citizenship by prompting taxpayers to reflect on the contract they have with their government and the value - or perceived lack of value - they receive in exchange for their money.Trade Review"Beyond a mere ode to the current tax system, Lawrence Zelenak's book also suggests legal reforms to reinforce the salutary effects of taxation, as well as changes that would make returns more effective as an educational device. No one, to my knowledge, has examined this argument from as many perspectives nor in such depth. Learning to Love Form 1040 will be welcomed by anyone seeking to understand the stakes in the current tax policy debate - and one hopes that members of Congress will be in that audience."
