    Book Synopsis[The Gesamtgrundpfandrecht (Blanket Mortgage) in Insolvency. With Special Consideration to its Creation]How does a blanket mortgage work in the mortgagee's insolvency proceedings? This question led the author to the present investigation. The thesis moves between the laws regarding safeguarding of creditors and insolvency. After penetrating the doctrine behind its creation, the blanket mortgage is woven into the instruments regulating insolvency law. The creation and defeasibility of the blanket mortgage is analyzed after investigating the structure and organization of this overarching right in rem by examining its counterpart in lien law.One of the piece's linchpins is the teleology of Sections 1132 and 1222 German Civil Code. This leads back to the basic Roman legal principle of the entirety of the pledge liability - indivisa pignoris causa -. By using this principle and the structural principles and guidelines of property law, conclusions necessary for the legal creation of a blanket mortgage are drawn and then entered into the system of restraint on alienation and acquisition pursuant to Sections 81, 91 German Insolvency Statute (Insolvenzordnung) as well as those for contesting insolvency pursuant to Sections 129 ff German Insolvency Statute.

    Book SynopsisAn account of the current state of civil litigation in the United States, one that makes a case that, contrary to popular opinion, it's actually a fairly effective tool for leveling the playing field between rich and poor, powerful and not.Trade Review"Well-researched and well-informed, this book is a must-read for law students and anyone who complains about the impact of civil litigation on the US economy." --Tom Baker, University of Pennsylvania Law School "Lawsuits in a Market Economy aims to understand civil litigation in the United States from a '10,000 foot view, ' comparing it to the past and thinking about what it will look like in the future. Unlike many '10,000-foot view' books, however, it is extraordinarily well-grounded: Yeazell has an unparalleled knowledge of civil litigation and a true commitment to providing empirical support for arguments, including historic trends. The book is a beautifully written, eminently readable, and important contribution to the literature on civil litigation."--William B. Rubenstein, Harvard Law School

  • After Misogyny

    University of California Press After Misogyny

    2 in stock

    Book SynopsisA rigorous analysis of systemic misogyny in the law and a thoughtful exploration of the tools needed to transcend it through constitutional change beyond litigation in the courts. Just as racism is embedded in the legal system, so is misogynyeven after the law proclaims gender equality and criminally punishes violence against women. In After Misogyny, Julie C. Suk shows that misogyny lies not in animus but in the overempowerment of men and the overentitlement of society to women's unpaid labor and undervalued contributions. This is a book about misogyny without misogynists. From antidiscrimination law to abortion bans, the law fails women by keeping society's dependence on women's sacrifices invisible. Via a tour of constitutional change around the world, After Misogyny shows how to remake constitutional democracy. Women across the globe are going beyond the antidiscrimination paradigm of American legal feminism and fundamentally resetting baseline norms and entitlements. That Trade Review"In this intriguing scholarly treatise, Fordham University law professor Suk (We the Women) documents how the law protects men’s 'overentitlement' and 'overempowerment' and examines efforts to correct the problem through constitutional reform. . . . a well-informed and actionable diagnosis of one of society’s most persistent ills" * Publishers Weekly *"'This world has always belonged to males, and none of the reasons given for this have ever seemed sufficient,' Simone de Beauvoir wrote in her 1949 foundational text, The Second Sex. The spirit of de Beauvoir pervades After Misogyny, a provocative new book by Julie C. Suk, a professor at Fordham University School of Law. . . . Credit is due to Suk for detailing how progress has been accomplished in other countries, and for inviting us to think about how true gender equality can be achieved—after misogyny." * Ms. Magazine *“Ambitious. . . . Contributes to a feminist literature on equality and care spanning centuries and national boundaries, yet offers timely diagnoses and prescriptions for the United States at a very particular moment.” * Jotwell *"Suk ’03 traces how misogyny has persisted in the law even after the end of legal patriarchy. Adopting a global perspective, Suk defines misogyny not only as hatred against women but also as overentitlement to women’s sacrifices. She examines how abortion bans compel women’s reproductive labor and assume a patriarchal notion of the public good. Suk also discusses how past generations of women have resisted misogynistic legal structures, including through the temperance movement." * Yale Law Report *Table of ContentsContents Introduction: Legal Patriarchy and Its Aftermath PART I HOW THE LAW FAILS WOMEN: MISOGYNY BEYOND MISOGYNISTS 1.

    Book SynopsisThree decades ago - years after most tribes had filed land claims - the Zuni initiated legal battles related to aboriginal claims, rights, and use that few experts thought they could win. Tying together current events with cultural and legal history, this volume provides expert observations on how and why the Zuni succeeded.Trade Review"Will serve as a model for other tribes to follow in their legal actions."—Journal of the West"This book serves as a model for those seeking court action in land claims litigation. Not only is it a legal blueprint for a trial preparation, it also makes important contributions to the field of Indian history and to the social sciences."—Western Historical Quarterly"The book provides a basic survey of Zuni history, of the tribe's relations with successive Spanish, Mexican, and American governments, and of its legal struggle to affirm its land rights. Specialists will appreciate the book's broad approach."—American Indian Quarterly "This book contains a wealth of information on the Zuni and provides a wonderful example of how an interdisciplinary team of academics can put their knowledge to use on real world problems confronting real people. This is a primer of how to do Indian rights litigation the ‘right way,’ with the careful preparation of testimony and evidence, choosing the right expert witnesses, and putting the information to effective use at trial."—Robert A.

Traditionally, examination and criticism of the trial process have been left to lawyers and members of the legal profession.

    Book SynopsisAnalyzes the impact of the Supreme Court's constitutional decisions and its judicial review of statutes on lawmaking in CongressTrade Review“Legal scholars have recently questioned judicial review on the ground that constitutional deliberation should be returned to the people and their political representatives. Drawing from case studies of several federal statutes invalidated by the Supreme Court, Mitch Pickerill thoughtfully suggests that serious constitutional discourse in the legislature is unlikely unless the Court continues to exercise its power of judicial review. I found his argumentation persuasive as well as informative. Constitutional Deliberation in Congress is well worth reading by lawyers as well as by students of American government.”—William N. Eskridge Jr., Yale Law School“Constitutional Deliberation in Congress brings to light important new evidence regarding how Congress and the Court relate to one another in constitutional cases, and it provides the first high-quality and systematic examination of how Congress responds to judicial invalidations of its legislation.”—Keith Whittington, Princeton UniversityTable of ContentsList of Tables and Figures ix Acknowledgments xi Introduction 1 1.

A Guide to Civil Procedure aims to serve as one such tool by centering questions of systemic injustice in the teaching, learning, and practice of civil procedure. Featuring an outstanding group of diverse scholars, the contributors illustrate how law school curriculums often ignore issues such as race, gender, disability, class, immigration status, and sexual orientation. Too often, students view the #MeToo movement, Black Lives Matter, immigration/citizenship controversy, or LGBTQ+ issues as mere footnotes to their legal education, often leading to the marginalization of many students and the production of graduates that do not view issues of systemic injustice as central to their prTrade ReviewCogently organized with a compelling foreword and introduction, A Guide to Civil Procedure powerfully demonstrates the profound relationship between civil procedure and access to justice. -- Devon W. Carbado, author of Unreasonable: Black Lives, Police Power, and the Fourth AmendmentAn impressive collection of essays by a diverse group of leading scholars in the field. A Guide to Civil Procedure is an extraordinarily comprehensive examination of the practical and theoretical relationships among the rules, doctrines, and practices that govern civil litigation and questions of race, gender, economic inequality, nationality, sexual identity, and orientation, among others. It is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of civil procedure, how it impacts these important issues, and why it matters. -- Adam Steinman, University Research Professor of Law, The University of AlabamaExcellent and long overdue.

  • The Federal Court of Canada

    University of Toronto Press The Federal Court of Canada

    Book SynopsisThe Federal Court of Canada, which existed from 1875 to 1971 under the name Exchequer Court of Canada, occupies a special place in the court structure of Canada. It was founded principally to adjudicate legal disputes in which the Canadian government was involved; since its change of name in 1971 it has become primarily an administrative appeal court dealing with the review of decisions made by federal administrative tribunals in addition to its existing jurisdictions, admiralty, intellectual property, tax, and other areas. As a federal court within the nation, its very existence has provoked discussion and debate as the various provincial court systems claim a position of primacy within our society for the adjudication of legal disputes.Central to this history of the Court is an examination of the judges who have sat on its bench. Bushnell investigates who the judges have been and examines their work, with particular focus on the judges' views of the proper approach to decis

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisAs officials scrambled in 2020 to manage the spread of COVID, the reverberations of the crisis reached well beyond immediate public health concerns. The governance problems that emerged in the pandemic would be problems in other climate-related disasters, too. Many of these governance problems wound up in court. Businesses filed insurance claims for lost commerce; when the claims were denied, some companies sued. Defense attorneys tried to get inmates released from prison, citing dangerous living conditions. As state governments ordered closures and otherwise tried to adapt, interest organizations that had long sought to limit government authority challenged them in court. Political officials railed against litigation they argued would stop businesses from reopening. The United States, like other countries, governs partly through litigation, and litigation is one way of seeing the multiple governance failures during the pandemic. Drawing on databases of cases filed, news reports, and the websites of advocacy groups and law firms, Susan M. Sterett argues that governing during the pandemic, or in any disaster, must include the human institutions intertwined with the effects of the virus. Those institutions reveal problems well beyond the reach of technical expertise. Failures in private insurance as a way of governing risk, conflicts about the primacy of religion, government authority, and health, are problems that predated the pandemic and will persist in future disasters.Trade Review"Litigating the Pandemic is an exciting read for scholars of court behavior, political systems analysis, public health, and disaster studies. Sterett argues that understanding pandemics as a cascading disaster reveals a complex and linked system in which courts (both the Supreme Court and the lower courts) act as the mediators of interests that may or may not serve the interests of the public." * Choice *

    Book Synopsis“A snake handler convicted of the attempted murder of his wife by means of serpent bite is serving ninety-nine years in prison. The reader is gradually pulled into an increasingly complex story as Thomas Burton allows the many individuals involved in this event to tell their stories. Readers are less likely to find themselves concerned with what “really” happened than with larger issues they too will become involved in. this is more than a story about the headline ‘preacher tries to murder wife – with rattlesnakes!” it is a story of individuals struggling with their faith and their fate under the steady gaze of their God.” —Ralph W. Hood Jr., winner of the American Psychological Association’s William James Award in the psychology of religionIn this comprehensive, multilayered set of narratives, the story of Glenn Summerford’s fall from grace is told by its participants, through interviews, court documents, and other primary sources. Free of either prejudice against or romanticizing about the snake-handling Holiness religion, this book presents an absorbing story of a fascinating group of people, while allowing the reader to draw his or her own conclusions about Summerford’s guilt or innocence.

  • Michigan State University Press Alternative Dispute Resolution in the Regulatory Process

    Book SynopsisAn in-depth look at the institutionalization of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) processes in the federal and state regulatory arenas over the past twenty-five years, this volume showcases the value of these processes and highlights the potential for their expanded application and growth.It describes ADR techniques, how to use them, and how to integrate them into existing processes, using examples from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and three state utility regulatory commissions. The book recounts ADR successes, recognizing that traditional litigative methods may not always meet the needs of agencies, the parties, or the public. Institutionalizing these processes requires a systematic commitment to different approaches to problem-solving and, ultimately, cultural change.The authors spearheaded initiatives to integrate these processes and skills at the federal level. Drawing from valuable insights gained from their experience, the authors introduce a versatile new ADR system design model, the Voices of Value, which aims to enhance input, creativity, and effectiveness in regulatory and other public arenas as well as the private sector.

  • Class Actions in Context: How Culture, Economics

    Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Class Actions in Context: How Culture, Economics

    Book SynopsisIn recent years collective litigation procedures have spread across the globe, accompanied by hot controversy and normative debate. Yet virtually nothing is known about how these procedures operate in practice. Based on extensive documentary and interview research, this volume presents the results of the first comparative investigation of class actions and group litigation 'in action'.Produced by a multinational team of legal scholars, this book spans research from ten different countries in the Americas, Europe, Asia and the Middle East, including common law and civil law jurisdictions. The contributors conclude that to understand how class actions work in practice, one needs to know the cultural factors that shape claiming, the financial arrangements that enable or impede litigation, and how political actors react when mass claims erupt. Substantive law and procedural rules matter, but culture, economics and politics matter at least as much.This book will be of interest to students and scholars of law, business and politics. It will also be of use to public policy makers looking to respond to mass claims; financial analysts looking to understanding the potential impact of new legal instruments; and global lawyers who litigate transnationally.Contributors: A. Barroilhet, C. Cameron, N. Creutzfeldt, M.A. Gómez, A. Halfmeier, D.R. Hensler, C. Hodges, K.-C. Huang, J. Kalajdzic, A. Klement, B. Stier, E. Thornburg, I. Tzankova, S. VoetTrade Review'Class Actions in Context is a penetrating analysis of class and group actions worldwide. A group of international scholars brings to bear legal, economic, and political analyses of this evolving judicial remedy. It explores various substantive claims ranging from consumer protection to securities litigation. Drawing on case studies of practice as well as legal analysis, it demonstrates the importance of factors running from litigation finance to background cultural traditions. It is worth study in every legal system.' --Geoffrey C. Hazard, University of California College of the Law, San Francisco, USTable of ContentsContents: PART I INTRODUCTION 1.

    2 in stock

    Book SynopsisTrademarks and Social Media supports the protection of using the trademark logo correctly on social media. This thoughtful book demonstrates how protection can be implemented within the walled gardens of social media, through the reconciliation of unauthorised use of the trademark logo on social media alongside maintaining the right to exercise freedom of expression.Legal conflicts between trademark holders, social media providers and internet users have become manifest in the light of wide-scale, unauthorised use of the trademark logo on social media in recent decades. Arguing for the protection of the trademark logo against unauthorised use in a commercial environment, this book explores why protection enforcement should be made automatic. A number of issues are discussed including the scalability of litigation on a case-by-case basis, and whether safe harbour provisions for online service providers should be substituted for strict liability. This book offers an unparalleled insight into the use of the trademark logo on social media, the consequences of incorrect use and practical solutions to achieve algorithmic justice.Scholars in the field of trademark law will find this a discerning reference tool. Policy makers and practitioners will benefit from the practical solutions presented to protect the trademark logo on social media.Trade Review'This timely monograph not only shows the need to adapt trademark law and enforcement to social media and the ever-evolving digital environment, but also why the existing legal regime fails to offer trademarked logos adequate protection. Refreshing, provocative and passionately argued, the book will be of interest to anybody interested in intellectual property law and policy and the interplay of law and technology.' --Peter K. Yu, Drake University Law School, US'Friedmann has produced an innovative and thought-provoking monograph which defies conventional wisdom and accepted norms. Friedmann's innovative perspective on managing the challenges between trademark holders, online service providers and internet users is built upon his thorough analysis of the legal landscape and technology-related trends. What makes this research so unique and intellectually stimulating is the standard Friedmann dares to set for a solution - a paradigm shift for the trademark logo, with automatic and scalable enforcement and strict liability for online service providers.' --Bryan Mercurio, The Chinese University of Hong KongTable of ContentsContents: 1.

  • Collective and Mass Litigation in Europe: Model

    Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Collective and Mass Litigation in Europe: Model

    Book SynopsisWritten by leading authorities in the field of European civil procedure and collective redress, this timely book explores the model collective proceedings rules in the ELI/UNDROIT European Rules of Civil Procedure. It explains the intended application of this 'best practice' set of collective redress rules, intended to promote greater consistency in civil and commercial court procedure across Europe, linking to existing European practice and initiatives in the field.Chapters investigate important issues for mass and collective actions including certification of actions as suitable for collective treatment, collective settlement, costs and funding. Concluding with insights from class action experts outside Europe, this incisive book provides objective perspectives on this rapidly developing area of European legal practice and proposes areas where these rules may influence class actions internationally.Collective and Mass Litigation in Europe will be a key resource for scholars and students of collective redress and civil procedure. The commentary on this significant benchmark in collective redress litigation will also be of benefit to policy makers, judges and legal practitioners involved in mass claims.Trade Review'With the recent adoption of the EU Directive on collective redress, a study on the respective rules in the European Rules of Civil Procedure proposed by UNDROIT and ELI is most welcome. These rules are intended to serve as a model for national legislatures, precisely what is needed now in order to implement the new directive. The editors assembled a team of leading academics and practitioners from around the globe. The book is well-organized and not only provides a succinct commentary on the ERCP rules on collective redress, but goes beyond that by contributing to a truly in-depth understanding of the subject of collective redress in general.' -- Georg Kodek, Vienna University of Economics and Business, Austria'The concept of developing model rules for a European Civil Procedure Code has, as its zenith, the topic of collective redress, given the longstanding variances of legal attitude, culture, substantive law, and procedural rules across the EU member states on this intricate topic. This ambitious work, via its various contributors, makes an important and thoughtful contribution to the collective redress journey, by drawing out the differences, and commonalities, that inform the essential ability of any legal system to enable access to justice for those who could not otherwise afford it.' -- Professor Rachael Mulheron, Queen Mary University of London, UK'A specifically European model of collective redress is taking shape. Its progressive construction owes much to lessons learned from across the Atlantic, so that its design can be seen in many ways as a response to what was long seen as American exceptionalism. As Europe opens up to aggregate litigation and the emergence of "the statistical victim" (famously so-termed by Sheila Jasanoff), the analyses provided in this book will serve usefully to navigate the complex procedural issues that accompany the transplant.' -- Horatia Muir Watt, Sciences Po Law School, FranceTable of ContentsContents: 1.
