    Book SynopsisIn this original, far-reaching, and timely book, Justice Stephen Breyer examines the work of the Supreme Court of the United States in an increasingly interconnected world, a world in which all sorts of activity, both public and private—from the conduct of national security policy to the conduct of international trade—obliges the Court to understand and consider circumstances beyond America’s borders.  Written with unique authority and perspective, The Court and the World reveals an emergent reality few Americans observe directly but one that affects the life of every one of us. Here is an invaluable understanding for lawyers and non-lawyers alike.

  • Cambridge University Press The LawyerJudge Bias in the American Legal System

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisVirtually all American judges are former lawyers. This book argues that these lawyer-judges instinctively favor the legal profession in their decisions and that this bias has far-reaching and deleterious effects on American law. There are many reasons for this bias, some obvious and some subtle. Fundamentally, it occurs because - regardless of political affiliation, race, or gender - every American judge shares a single characteristic: a career as a lawyer. This shared background results in the lawyer-judge bias. The book begins with a theoretical explanation of why judges naturally favor the interests of the legal profession and follows with case law examples from diverse areas, including legal ethics, criminal procedure, constitutional law, torts, evidence, and the business of law. The book closes with a case study of the Enron fiasco, an argument that the lawyer-judge bias has contributed to the overweening complexity of American law, and suggests some possible solutions.Table of Contents1. An ambient bias; 2. The theory; 3. Constitutional criminal procedure; 4. Civil constitutional law; 5. A short history of lawyer regulation; 6. Current lawyer regulation; 7. Torts; 8. Evidence and civil procedure; 9. The business of law; 10. Enron's sole survivors; 11. Complexity and the lawyer-judge bias; 12. Rays of hope, ramifications and possible solutions.

  • Cambridge University Press Regulating Global Corporate Capitalism International Corporate Law and Financial Market Regulation

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis analysis of how multi-level networked governance has superseded the liberal system of interdependent states focuses on the role of law in mediating power and shows how lawyers have shaped the main features of capitalism, especially the transnational corporation. It covers the main institutions regulating the world economy, including the World Bank, the IMF, the WTO and a myriad of other bodies, and introduces the reader to key regulatory arenas: corporate governance, competition policy, investment protection, anti-corruption rules, corporate codes and corporate liability, international taxation, avoidance and evasion and the campaign to combat them, the offshore finance system, international financial regulation and its contribution to the financial crisis, trade rules and their interaction with standards especially for food safety and environmental protection, the regulation of key services (telecommunications and finance), intellectual property and the tensions between exclusiveTrade Review'This book provides insight into global corporate capitalism's development and its contemporary governance … the argument is carefully constructed through detailed accounts of salient developments in the history of the global economy over a substantial period of time. That such an enormous area of investigation is covered in a meticulous manner without any loss of focus by the author (or indeed this non-specialist reader) is testament to both the depth of knowledge that is conveyed and the manner in which it is expressed … the book succeeds within its own terms: in providing a historical contextualization of the central features and institutions of the regulation of contemporary corporate capitalism; in highlighting the role of lawyers in shaping its development and contemporary governance; and in raising concerns regarding its implications for legitimacy and accountability, aims which are accomplished expertly.'

  • Cambridge University Press Tax Expenditure Management A Critical Assessment Cambridge Tax Law Series

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisA tax expenditure is a 'tax break' allowed to a taxpayer or group of taxpayers, for example, by way of concession, deduction, deferral or exemption. The tax expenditure concept, as it was first identified, was designed to demonstrate the similarity between direct government spending on the one hand and spending through the tax system on the other. The identification of benefits provided through the tax system as tax expenditures allows analysts to consider the fiscal significance of those parts of the tax system which do not contribute to the primary purpose of raising revenue. Although a seemingly simple concept, it has generated a range of complex definitional and practical issues, and this book identifies and critically assesses the controversial aspects of tax expenditure and tax expenditure management.Table of Contents1. Introduction; 2. The tax expenditures concept; 3. Reporting on tax expenditures; 4. The practical significance of tax expenditures; 5. The politics of tax expenditure management; 6. Managing tax expenditure controversies.

  • Cambridge University Press Reimagining the Trust

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisAlthough the trust is generally seen as a creation of the common law tradition, modern civilian systems are increasingly interested in incorporating the trust institution. This collection of essays explores multiple civilian experiences with the trust. The reform of Quebec''s trust institution attracted worldwide attention in 1994. Louisiana''s 1964 Trust Code stands in an uneasy relationship with its general law of property. Israel has had a fascinating pluralist experience of multiples trusts. The People''s Republic of China passed a Trust Law in 2001 and the development of the trust in this important economy is a matter of great interest and some controversy. France adopted a trust in 2007, and in Italy, trusts can be created through the choice of foreign governing law, under the Hague Trusts Convention. The concluding chapter draws conclusions from all the essays and sets out challenges for future research in the comparative law of trusts.Table of ContentsIntroduction Lionel Smith; 1. Reflections regarding the diversity of ways in which the trust has been received or adapted in civil law countries Madeleine Cantin Cumyn; 2.

    Book SynopsisWhat explains divergences in political liberalism among new nations that shared the same colonial heritage? This book assembles exciting original essays on former colonies of the British Empire in South Asia, Africa and Southeast Asia that gained independence after World War II. The interdisciplinary country specialists reveal how inherent contradictions within British colonial rule were resolved after independence in contrasting liberal-legal, despotic and volatile political orders. Through studies of the longue durée and particular events, this book presents a theory of political liberalism in the post-colony and develops rich hypotheses on the conditions under which the legal complex, civil society and the state shape alternative postcolonial trajectories around political freedom.

    Book SynopsisThis book provides an analysis of bilateral tax treaties concluded by thirty-seven jurisdictions from five continents and empirically ascertains the impact of the UN and OECD Model Tax Conventions on bilateral tax treaties. It therefore fills a major gap in the international tax literature, which has so far either studied the sole Model Tax Conventions or focused on bilateral treaties in the context of the tax treaty policy of single countries, and sets the pace for a new methodology in the analysis and interpretation of tax treaties. A general report outlines the key points of the analysis, highlights current trends and predicts future developments of multilateralism and global tax law. This is an essential resource for academics, tax authorities and international tax practitioners who find textbooks based on Model Tax Conventions insufficient.Table of ContentsIntroduction; 1.

    Book SynopsisThere is an enormous scholarly literature on law''s treatment of religion. Most scholars now recognize that although the US Supreme Court has not offered a consistent interpretation of what ''non-establishment'' or religious freedom means, as a general matter it can be said that the First Amendment requires that government not give preference to one religion over another or, although this is more controversial, to religion over non-belief. But these rules raise questions that will be addressed in Legal Responses to Religious Practices in the United States: namely, what practices constitute a ''religious activity'' such that it cannot be supported or funded by government? And what is a religion, anyway? How should law understand matters of faith and accommodate religious practices?Table of Contents1.

    Book SynopsisWith the resurgence of Asian nations such as China, current West-centric international law is changing in the twenty-first century. There is a pressing need to address these changes within international legal studies and overcome potential conflicts between existing and emerging powers. This structural transformation also demands a change in understanding of existing ideas and institutions. This book explores a ''trans-civilizational'' approach to international law, supplementing and modifying two other prevalent perspectives: international and transnational. By considering these three layered viewpoints, this book highlights the complex phenomena surrounding the history and development of international law. The author also considers how international law operates and functions within diverse forums such as diplomatic negotiation, international organizations, and domestic political processes. This book will appeal to international law scholars and students, as well as those interested Trade Review'… this essay's aim is to reconstruct some of the main threads of the monograph's theorisation of international law and to curve out some of the most innovative elements of this treatise, as compared to other traditional treatises dedicated to general international law.'

  • Cambridge University Press Promoting the Rule of Law in PostConflict States

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisIn most post-conflict states, a strong level of legal pluralism is the norm, particularly in regions of Africa and Asia where between eighty and ninety per cent of disputes are resolved through non-state legal mechanisms. The international community, in particular the United Nations, persistently drives the re-establishment of the rule of law in war-torn areas where, traditionally, customary law is prevalent. Laura Grenfell traces the international community''s evolving understanding of the rule of law in such regions and explores the implications of strong legal pluralism for the rule-of-law enterprise. Using the comparative examples of two unique case studies, South Africa and Timor-Leste, Promoting the Rule of Law in Post-Conflict States provides insight into the relationship between the rule of law and legal pluralism. Alongside these studies, the book offers a comprehensive introduction to the conceptual framework of the rule of law in the context of approaches taken by the internTrade Review'Grenfell has amassed so much intriguing material that I strongly recommend her study to all who care about legal pluralism and the way it may interact with the promotion of the rule of law and human rights.'

  • Cambridge University Press The Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Court

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisA comprehensive source of the most authoritative statements of the International Criminal Court''s appellate jurisprudence. Its clear format includes commentaries followed by excerpts of the decisions and judgments, carefully selected by lawyers based on their relevance and grouped by topic. It provides a practical background to the International Criminal Court''s appellate jurisprudence from experienced current and former Appeals Counsel of the Office of the Prosecutor of the Court, highlighting pertinent issues. In doing so, readers are given the tools to discern the meaning of the case law themselves, while attention is drawn to the most important developments in the jurisprudence. This text presents an authoritative and comprehensive digest of the Appeals Chamber''s jurisprudence, bringing the relevant case extracts together for the first time with clear and informative commentary.Trade Review'Prepared by experienced litigators, this timely digest offers an extremely useful inside view of the first fifteen years at the ICC. It helps to understand the responses already given by the Court to some key challenges and will contribute to identify ways and means to enhance its future work.' Silvia Fernández de Gurmendi, Former ICC President and Judge at the ICC Appeals Chamber'Judicial reasoning in the form of appeal court decisions is an essential source of any developing jurisprudence. This compendium of case law from the superior tribunal in the international criminal jurisdiction is not only a credit to its authors but a testament to the maturity of the ICC. Its content is essential distillations of principle and practice. Its structure is imaginative and theorized around the unique features of justice expanded in the preamble. This compilation fills a void in much more than substantive legal commentary. The value of the book will be measured by its application in the critical development of a genuine international criminal law.' Mark Findlay, Singapore Management University'A daunting task for international criminal lawyers is to understand the true significance of the ICC's extensive and developing appellate jurisprudence, and to distinguish deep-rooted trends from passing aberrations. This text shines a brilliant and highly authoritative light on the burgeoning case law, and it will immediately become the indispensable guide for practitioners.' Lord Justice Adrian Fulford, Investigatory Powers Commissioner (UK) and Presiding Judge at the ICC Trial Chamber in the Lubanga Case'Comprehensive, richly detailed and impeccably authoritative, this is an essential reference on the interpretation of the Rome Statute. It also testifies to the already huge contribution of the Appeals Chamber to the development of international criminal law.' William Schabas, Middlesex University, LondonTable of ContentsPart I.

  • Cambridge University Press Conflict of Interest in Global Public and Corporate Governance

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisConflict of interest occurs at all levels of governance, ranging from local to global, both in the public and the corporate and financial spheres. There is increasing awareness that conflicts of interest may distort decision-making processes and generate inappropriate outcomes, thereby undermining the functioning of public institutions and markets. However, the current worldwide trend towards regulation, which seeks to forestall, prevent and manage conflicts of interest, has its price. Drawbacks may include the stifling of decision-making processes, the loss of expertise among decision-makers and a vicious circle of distrust. This interdisciplinary and international book addresses specific situations of conflict of interest in different spheres of governance, particularly in global, public and corporate governance.Table of ContentsPart I.

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisServices are an ever-increasing part of our economy and thus of international trade. EU law and WTO law differ in the way they dismantle barriers to trade set up by states. This book offers an evaluation of the current legal status quo on transnational services provision on a global level.Trade Review'The present monograph is a welcome treatise on services in the EU and the WTO. The author has done enormous works having analysed two systems of services regulation not in isolation but having tried to make a systematic comparison. Both the EU and the WTO system are looked at from a different angle, which gives an opportunity to discover new constellations and issues. The present monograph is a useful and recommendable work for readers who wish to deepen their knowledge and understanding both of the General Agreement on Trade in Services and regulation of services in the European Union law.' Marina Trunk-Fedorova, Yearbook of European Law'[T]here is no doubt that Services Liberalization in the EU and the WTO: Concepts, Standards, and Regulatory Approaches contributes to the current stage of knowledge. Marcus Klamert and his co-authors have engaged in an important, in-depth comparative exercise that has resulted in deconstructing the WTO and the EU regulatory standards, delineating the sectoral coverage of the regimes, and suggesting legislative changes in the name of more clarity and systematisation, for example by finding a transparent basis for the non-discrimination test in the EU. Despite the fact that the book refers to economic and technical challenges accompanying the trade in services only sporadically, and is a purely legal exercise, it is a valuable source of reference for other scholars in the field.'

  • Cambridge University Press Innovation and the State

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisFrom social media to mortgage-backed securities, innovation carries both risk and opportunity. Groups of people win, and lose, when innovation changes the ground rules. Looking beyond formal politics, this new book by Cristie Ford argues that we need to recognize innovation, and financial innovation in particular, as a central challenge for regulation. Regulation is at the leading edge of politics and policy in ways that we have not yet fully grasped. Seemingly innocuous regulatory design choices have clear and profound practical ramifications for many of our most cherished social commitments. Innovation is a complex phenomenon that needs to be understood not only in technical terms, but also in human ones. Using financial regulation as her primary example, Ford argues for a fresh approach to regulation, which recognizes innovation for the regulatory challenge that it is, and which binds our cherished social values and our regulatory tools ever more tightly together.Trade Review'In Innovation and the State: Finance, Regulation, and Justice Cristie Ford provides a thorough analysis of the evolution of academic literature on 'flexible regulation' and couples this with an analysis of different forms of innovation to consider how regulation can fulfil progressive social goals whilst coping effectively with the risks and uncertainties that innovations within markets can pose. Elegantly written and perceptively observed, this is a timely analysis which reminds us that regulation is a political and social project as well as a technical one.' Julia Black, London School of Economics and Political Science'A tour de force of innovation and financial regulation. Cristie Ford is street smart, experienced on Wall Street. She explains how sedimentary innovation is bound to defeat inflexible rulish regulation. Yet sedimentary innovation also defeats flexible regulation, if it fails to fill the gaps that open within a scaffolding of regulatory principles. Ford's brilliant book teaches us to learn to see financial innovation. It cautions political wisdom in building loyalty to public values as regulators steer economic interests.' John Braithwaite, Australian National University, Canberra'Like the words 'growth' and 'progress', 'innovation' is often taken for granted as a public good. Indeed, it can be. But Cristie Ford shows in this deep and thoughtful book the way this taken-for-grantedness has seduced regulators, academics and the public into a set of beliefs that undermines the necessary task of regulation itself. She points the way forward to a more sophisticated interaction between regulation and innovation in a more just, progressive society.' Donald Langevoort, Georgetown University, Washington, DC'Many scholars, including Cristie Ford, have analyzed particular aspects of these phenomena, and how they matter to business and financial policy. What no one has done before, is build a broad philosophical construct for assessing these phenomena, so that policy makers might produce innovation-ready financial regulation. Professor Ford addresses regulatory design and structure, adaptability, and our own assumptions in ways that should help academics and policy makers think more precisely about optimal financial regulation in the future.'

    Book SynopsisAs UN Secretary-General, Dag Hammarskjöld shaped many of the fundamental principles and practices of international organisations, such as preventive diplomacy, the ethics of international civil service, impartiality and neutrality. He was also at the heart of the constitutional foundations and principles of the UN. This tribute and critical review of Hammarskjöld''s values and legacy examines his approach towards international civil service, agency and value-based leadership, investigates his vision of internationalism and explores his achievements and failures as Secretary-General. It draws on specific conflict situations and strategies such as Suez and the Congo for lessons that can benefit contemporary conflict resolution and modern concepts such as human security and R2P. It also reflects on ways in which actors such as international courts, tribunals and the EU can benefit from Hammarskjöld''s principles and experiences in the fields of peace and security and international justiceTrade Review'This book's many contributors, more than 20 in all, provide a fitting tribute and an objective analysis of Dag Hammarskjöld's achievements as the second UN Secretary-General.'

    Book SynopsisThe relationship between private and public law has long been the focus of critical attention, but recent years have seen the growing influence upon private law of statutory intervention, public regulation, corporate globalisation and constitutional and international human rights norms. Such developments increasingly call into question the capacity of private law reasoning to operate in isolation from public institutions and goals. Commencing with three contrasting visions of the nature and importance of distinctions between public and private in the modern day, this book traces a number of encounters between private law and ''public'' values in key areas of private law doctrine, such as charity law, commercial law, tort law and class actions, across several jurisdictions. It examines the influence within these fields of public concepts and goals, such as behavioural modification, accountability and anti-discrimination norms, as well as the (reverse) influence that private law has upon (''public'') human rights jurisprudence.Table of ContentsPart I.

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisShould international law be concerned with offence to religions and their followers? Even before the 2005 publication of the Danish Mohammed cartoons, Muslim States have endeavoured to establish some reputational protection for religions on the international level by pushing for recognition of the novel concept of 'defamation of religions'. This study recounts these efforts as well as the opposition they aroused, particularly by proponents of free speech. It also addresses the more fundamental issue of how religion and international law may relate to each other. Historically, enforcing divine commands has been the primary task of legal systems, and it still is in numerous municipal jurisdictions. By analysing religious restrictions of blasphemy and sacrilege as well as international and national norms on free speech and freedom of religion, Lorenz Langer argues that, on the international level at least, religion does not provide a suitable rationale for legal norms.Trade Review'Langer provides one of the most compelling accounts of the background to, and story of, the 'defamation of religions' debate across the UN throughout the 2000s … This book needs to be read.'

Invention of new alternatives? The concept of defamation of religions before and after the cartoons; 5. Defining defamation; Part II: 6. First principles: norms and norm-rationales; 7.

  • Cambridge University Press Law and Creativity in the Age of the Entertainment Franchise 27 Cambridge Intellectual Property and Information Law Series Number 27

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisMuch of the real value in the entertainment industry today lies in franchises â fictional universes, entertainment concepts, reinventions of cultural traditions and celebrity â that create an ongoing presence in the marketplace. The entertainment franchise now shapes the global cultural landscape. However, scholars have devoted little attention to how intellectual property law has changed or is being stretched in practice to accommodate this type of creativity and form of enterprise. Covering law and practice in jurisdictions such as the UK, the EU, the USA, Australia, Spain and the Caribbean, this collection explores the 'fit' of intellectual property laws with specific franchises and tracks the way creators and entrepreneurs work around law's limitations. Case studies include mega-film franchises, fan activity, hip-hop, the management of celebrity reputation, flamenco, 'Disneyfied' theatre, film and television funding, arts festivals and 'carnival in a box'.Trade Review'This rich collection details the complex, dispersed collaboration involved in the development of successful entertainment 'franchises' - arguably among the most powerful modes of creative production today. The ten essays depart from the kind of narrow, doctrine-driven scholarship that proliferates in mainstream IP publications to offer models of genuinely significant IP research. The essays extend and deepen critical scrutiny of such key concepts in IP law as creative 'authorship' and original 'work', and address the neglected topic of the institutional management of creative output.'

  • Torture Power and Law

    Cambridge University Press Torture Power and Law

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis volume brings together the most important writing on torture and the ''war on terror by one of the leading US voices in the torture debate. Philosopher and legal ethicist David Luban reflects on this contentious topic in a powerful sequence of essays including two new and previously unpublished pieces. He analyzes the trade-offs between security and human rights, as well as the connection between torture, humiliation, and human dignity, the fallacy of using ticking bomb scenarios in debates about torture, and the ethics of government lawyers. The book develops an illuminating and novel conception of torture as the use of pain and suffering to communicate absolute dominance over the victim. Factually stimulating and legally informed, this volume provides the clearest analysis to date of the torture debate. It brings the story up to date by discussing the Obama administration''s failure to hold torturers accountable.Trade Review'David Luban has written over the past decade an extraordinarily compelling set of philosophical, legal (and simply human) reflections on what has unfortunately become a defining issue - torture. He raises crucial questions not only about the role of lawyers in legitimizing indefensible practices, but also about broader aspects of moral argument, especially the common practice of relying on 'extreme cases' and 'brainteasers' as alternatives to confronting more mundane (and horrific) realities. The book therefore promises to be important even after that happy day when torture has indeed been eliminated from the world.' Sanford Levinson, University of Texas, Austin'Of all those who have written on themes of justice and power in the aftermath of 9/11, David Luban's work is among the very best. His elegant argumentation and fluid prose effortlessly cross the boundaries between law, philosophy and political theory. Taken together, these essays provide a hugely compelling defence of fundamental rights in the face of those who have sought to weaken longstanding constitutional and moral protections. No one with an interest in society's response to torture or the broader debate on civil liberties can afford to ignore this book.' David Rodin, University of Oxford'If there is but one book to pick from the shelf dealing with the US political crisis over the use of torture, then clearly it is David Luban's. With a merciless dissection of the semantic games played by Washington lawyers and a brilliant discussion of the key questions of law and ethics at the heart of the torture debate, Luban emerges as the subject's undisputed grand master.' Scott Horton, Columbia Law School'David Luban's writing has been indispensable in the torture debates. No one has done more than he has to confront the 'ticking bomb' hypothetical. No one has engaged more deeply with our understanding of what torture is than Luban has in his essay on 'the communicative aspect of torture'. These writings represent perhaps the most serious and sensitive work that has emerged from this grim chapter in America's history.' Jeremy Waldron, New York UniversityTable of ContentsPreface; Part I. Downgrading Rights and Expanding Power During Post-9/11 Panic: 1. The war on terrorism and the end of human rights; 2. Eight fallacies about liberty and security; Part II. The Ticking Bomb as Moral Fantasy and Moral Fraud: 3. Liberalism, torture, and the ticking bomb; 4. Unthinking the ticking bomb; Part III.

    Book SynopsisThis book is a comprehensive review and analysis of the reserve powers and their exercise by heads of state in countries that have Westminster systems. It addresses the powers of the Queen in the United Kingdom, those of her vice-regal representatives, and those of heads of state in the less studied realms and former colonies that are now republics. Drawing on a vast range of previously unpublished archival and primary material, The Veiled Sceptre contains fresh perspectives on old controversies. It also reveals constitutional crises in small countries, which have escaped the notice of most scholars. This book places the exercises of reserve powers within the context of constitutional principle and analyses how heads of state should act when constitutional principles conflict. Providing an unrivalled contemporary analysis of reserve powers, it will appeal to constitutional scholars worldwide and others involved in the administration of systems of responsible government.Table of Contents1.
