Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Paths to Justice: What people do and think about going to law
Book SynopsisThis book presents the results of the largest survey of public attitudes towards the civil justice system ever conducted by either an independent party or government agency. This survey explored the behaviour of the public in dealing with potential legal disputes and problems,as well as potential plaintiffs or potential defendants. It identified the strategies adopted by those involved in potentially justiciable events to resolve or conclude the matter, use of courts and ADR; and the factors that propel litigants towards the legal system. Of vital importance in policy formation, it also identified structural factors, such as costs and procedures, or lack of knowledge, which prevent access to the legal system where it is desired. The survey further assessed the effect of this lack of access to the formal legal system of individuals.Trade ReviewPaths to Justice is a seminal text: a cataract of revelation about the state of civil justice at the end of the twentieth-century. J. P. Burnside Cambridge Law Journal September 2002 This is an important and substantial piece of work which presents a rich and complex picture. It is well written and should be accessible to the very broad audience for whom it is relevant. This book carries important, and at times challenging, messages for planners, funders and providers of services alike, and should become the handbook for Community Legal Service Partnerships.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Vorprozessuale Prioritätssicherung:
Book Synopsis"Zuerst schlichten, dann richten": nach diesem Prinzip verpflichten nationale Gesetzgeber die Parteien bestimmter Rechtsstreitigkeiten vor Klageerhebung ein einigungsbasiertes Streitbeilegungsverfahren zu durchlaufen. Obligatorische vorprozessuale Streitbeilegungsverfahren sind regelmäßig rechtspolitisch umstritten, grundsätzlich jedoch mit höherrangigem Recht vereinbar. Bislang weitgehend ungeklärt ist hingegen das Verhältnis dieser Vorverfahren zu den Verfahrenskoordinationsvorschriften der Art. 29-34 Brüssel Ia-VO bzw. Art. 27−30 LugÜ. Julian Duventäster untersucht, ob ein Kläger, der ein vorprozessuales Streitbeilegungsverfahren einleitet, damit die europäische Rechtshängigkeitssperre auslöst und dadurch einem Verfahren Priorität sichert.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Nachweisschwierigkeiten im
Book SynopsisDie Durchsetzung privater Kartellschadensersatzansprüche scheitert in der Praxis häufig an Nachweisschwierigkeiten des Geschädigten. Der Gesetzgeber und die Rechtsprechung haben dies zum Anlass genommen, neue Mittel der Informationsbeschaffung sowie Beweiserleichterungen zu schaffen, um der kartelltypischen Informationsasymmetrie entgegenzuwirken. Je mehr jene Lösungsinstrumente jedoch den Nachweis im Lichte des effet utile erleichtern, desto mehr geraten sie in Konflikt mit Rechtsgrundsätzen des Zivil- und Verfahrensrechts. Während der neugeregelte parteiliche Informationsanspruch den Beibringungsgrundsatz in Frage stellt, geraten weitreichende Beweiserleichterungen beim Schadensnachweis in Konflikt mit dem schadensrechtlichen Kompensationsgrundsatz. Nora Klusmann bemüht sich um eine Lösung dieser rechtlichen und rechtspolitischen Konflikte im Schnittfeld von Kartellrecht, Zivilprozessrecht und deliktischem Schadensrecht.

De Gruyter Das Gesamtgrundpfandrecht in der Insolvenz: Unter besonderer Berücksichtigung seiner Entstehung
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

University of California Press After Misogyny
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.
