Legal systems: general Books

Book SynopsisThis timely book invites the reader to explore the lexicon of 'subjects' and 'objects' of EU law as a platform from which several dilemmas and omissions of EU law can be researched. It includes a number of case studies from different fields of law that deploy this lexicon, structuring the contributions around three principal elements of EU law: its transformations, crises and external-internal dynamics. The carefully structured case studies cover a wide range of areas in EU law, such as constitutional law, administrative law, external relations, trade and citizenship and present perspectives from a variety of EU Member States. The expert contributors explore how to discuss, analyze and frame core elements of a supranational legal order. This broad-ranging and collaborative research effort presents a fresh, critical perspective on contemporary EU law. The book offers a reflection on recent crises of the EU, such as Brexit, looking beyond the field of law to present solutions that apply theories of political economy, social theory and political theory. This thought-provoking narrative of EU law will be of interest to scholars in this field as well as to those in public international law, international relations, sociology, governance and political science.Contributors include: S.

Tataryn, A. Tryfonidou, J. van Zeben, S. Velluti, I. VianelloTrade Review'This book is based on a wise chemistry between well-known and emerging scholars and offers quite a unique combination of voices on a very complex issue. It is definitely mandatory reading for constitutional and EU law scholars interested in the subject.' --Giuseppe Martinico, Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies, Italy'This brilliant work provides new tools for understanding the dynamics of the EU legal system. Leaving aside the conventional understanding of the subjects of the European legal order, Bardutzky and Fahey use the ''subjects and objects'' dichotomy as a framework to analyse the evolution of EU law. The result is a fresh and original insight into the transformative processes of EU law and the hidden legitimacy gaps of a legal system in need of social legitimacy. A timely contribution and an essential tool for anyone interested in understanding the evolution of EU law in a critical moment of the integration project.' --Edoardo Chiti, University of La Tuscia, Italy'The editors of this book have brought together excellent contributions to understand the subjects and objects of contemporary EU law. This outstanding book covers a broad range of key issues. It offers readers original insights to explore the subjects and objects of EU law, including matters such as Brexit, the current crisis of the European integration and the role of third countries in EU law. This book provides exciting reading not only for lawyers but also for any person interested in EU matters.' --Juan Santos Vara, University of Salamanca, SpainTable of ContentsContents: Foreword Sir Francis Jacobs QC (King’s College London) 1.

Book SynopsisThis concise primer offers an introduction to U.S. law from a comparative perspective, explaining not only the main features of American law and legal culture, but also how and why it differs from that of other countries. Gerrit De Geest initially focuses on the core characteristics of American law, such as the predominance of judge-made law, the significance of state law and the vital role that juries play in the legal process. De Geest then moves on to provide a succinct analysis of U.S. legal culture, before summarizing the principal differences in law and legal cultures around the world. Key features include: A thorough introduction to the main elements of U.S. law for international students A concise, accessible style illustrated with lively anecdotes and discussion of relevant foundational cases Explanation of the historical and cultural roots of law in the U.S. and other countries to provide context for differences. Students beginning LLM programs in the U.S., in particular international students, will find this primer invaluable reading.

Book SynopsisThis innovative book proposes new theories on how the legal system can be made more comprehensible, usable and empowering for people through the use of design principles. Utilising key case studies and providing real-world examples of legal innovation, the book moves beyond discussion to action. It offers a rich set of examples, demonstrating how various design methods, including information, service, product and policy design, can be leveraged within research and practice.Providing a forward-thinking outlook, this book presents an in-depth examination of how a human-centred, visual and participatory design approach can improve legal services and outcomes. Spanning numerous fields of legal practice, from education, housing and contracts to intellectual property, it highlights how visuals, information design and better communication can help prevent and solve legal problems. Chapters explore a new vision of lawyering and its potential to encompass a more creative and collaborative approach to legal practice.Legal Design will be of benefit to students and scholars seeking an up-to-date analysis of current trends related to legal design thinking and execution. It will also be a key resource for legal practitioners, policy-makers, government officials and business professionals looking to deepen their understanding of the field and improve their own design tools.Trade Review‘Legal Design: Integrating Business, Design and Legal Thinking with Technology is a valuable addition to the literature. Whether as a broad introduction to legal design principles and methodologies, a place to be inspired by case studies and projects or as a more detailed examination of its place within the academy, it is a text that will be of interest to anybody with a curiosity about how law and design can function together to make the world a better place.’ -- Emily Allbon, The Edinburgh Law Review'Filled with actionable insights from the superstars of legal design around the world, this book will become a go-to resource for legal innovators and inspire a new breed of proactive lawyers to keep clients at the heart of their work.' -- Verity White, Checklist Legal, Australia‘This book is a thoughtful exploration of legal design, a novel human-centred paradigm for problem-solving and innovation in the legal space. The contributions range across domains – access to justice, contracts, adjudication, legal education, and more. The case studies show how legal design can make abstract legal rules and processes come to life, empowering their end-users. It is an essential reading for those interested in understanding the many faces of legal design, both from a theoretical and practical perspective.’ -- Stefania Passera, Passera Design and University of Vaasa, Finland‘Legal Design is required reading for practitioners and academics interested in the latest advances in the field.

Book SynopsisThis thorough and detailed book provides a comprehensive analysis of the various ways in which laws and rules are produced and lays the foundations for a systematic understanding of lawmaking as a production process. Leading scholars and experts provide coverage and insight on key issues such as the optimal specificity and timing of legal intervention, the nature of expressive law, the production of customary law, and the effect of social norms and social stigma on legal compliance. The original essays shed new light on important issues concerning the institutional design of lawmaking through the lens of economic analysis and public choice theory, and together form an important reference tool. This state-of-the-art resource forms part of the Encyclopedia of Law and Economics, and will appeal strongly to researchers and postgraduate students from both law and economics backgrounds.Trade Review’The economic analysis of the production of legal rules has been so far spread over many legal books and articles focusing on other topics. This fascinating volume, edited by Francesco Parisi, is the first book dealing with the production of legal rules in a systemic and comprehensive way.

Book SynopsisThe dramatic growth of the Japanese economy in the post-war period, and its meltdown in the 1990s, generated major reform recommendations in 2001 from the Justice System Reform Council aimed at greater civic engagement with law. This timely book examines the regulation and design of the Japanese legal system and contributes a legal perspective to the long-standing debate in Japanese Studies: who governs Japan?Who Rules Japan? explores the extent to which a new Japanese state has emerged from this reform effort - one in which the Japanese people participate more freely in the legal system and have a greater stake in Japan's future. Expert contributors from across the globe tackle the question of whether Japan is now a judicial state, upturning earlier views of Japan as an administrative state. The book explores well-known reforms, such as lay participation in criminal justice, but also less well-canvassed topics such as industrial relations, dispute resolution, government lawyers, law within popular culture in Japan, and social welfare and the law. The blend of empiricism, policy analysis, theory and doctrine provides a discerning insight into the impact of the law reform initiatives from the Justice System Reform Council.Legal academics interested in comparative law broadly and Asian law specifically will find this book an indispensable contribution to the literature, offering a unique insight into the changing Japanese legal system. Students and scholars of Japanese Studies, especially the social sciences, will find clarity in this refreshing legal viewpoint of governance in contemporary Japan.Contributors: K. Anderson, T.

Seven highly informative analyses explore to what extent the 2001 judicial reforms have already transformed the Japanese state and paved the way for Japan’s gradual shift from its (in)famous administrative governance model to a judicial state with the “rule of law” at its center and a broader participation of citizens in the various spheres of public life.’ -- Harald Baum, Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law, GermanyTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Book SynopsisMore than four decades have passed since the end of Khmer Rouge rule in Cambodia in 1979. Even so, the country is still coming to terms with the destruction wrought in the decade when the Khmer Rouge won and held power and, thereafter, during their guerrilla resistance to the new regime in Phnom Penh until 1998. The Khmer Rouge Tribunal (or Extraordinary Chambers in the Court of Cambodia, ECCC), established in 2006 to bring the Khmer Rouge leadership to justice, has long been the focus of scholarly attention in Cambodia’s recovery. In many ways a product of the 1990s, a time when liberal democracy appeared to be on the rise both in Cambodia and internationally, the ECCC was imagined as a ‘Transitional Justice’ initiative – while delivering justice it should also ease the transition to liberal democracy. This compelling study argues that approach is dated. The political circumstances in which the ECCC was born have changed profoundly, both globally and locally. No longer can Cambodia’s current situation be analysed solely in terms of transitional justice narratives or the work of the ECCC. Other ways in which Cambodians have come to terms with their past, and built new lives, must also be considered. Decentring the ECCC in the scholarly narrative of Cambodia’s recovery, the volume’s authors offer fascinating new insights into the Khmer Rouge period and more recent years of social, cultural and political change in Cambodia.Table of Contents Preface Contributors Introduction: Beyond Transitional Justice: Cambodians' Continuing Struggles for Truth in a Troubled World Section 1: Context 1.

Book SynopsisUnderstanding legal rules not as determinants of behavior but as points of reference for conduct, this volume considers the ways in which rules are invoked, referred to, interpreted, put forward or blurred. It also asks how both legal practitioners and lay participants conceive of and participate in the construction of facts and rules, and thus, through decisions, defenses, pleas, files, evidence, interviews and documents, actively participate in law's life. With attention to the formulation of notions such as person, evidence, intention, cause and responsibility in the course of legal practices, Legal Rules in Practice provides the outlines of a praxiological anthropology of law an anthropology that focuses on words, concepts and reasoning as actively used to solve conflicts with the help of legal rules. As such, it will appeal to sociologists, anthropologists and scholars of law with interests in ethnomethodology, rule-based conduct and practical reasoning.Table of ContentsIntroduction: legal rules in practice: an exploration into law’s life 1.

Book SynopsisJudging and Emotion investigates how judicial officers understand, experience, display, manage and deploy emotions in their everyday work, in light of their fundamental commitment to impartiality.Judging and Emotion challenges the conventional assumption that emotion is inherently unpredictable, stressful or a personal quality inconsistent with impartiality. Extensive empirical research with Australian judicial officers demonstrates the ways emotion, emotional capacities and emotion work are integral to judicial practice. Judging and Emotion articulates a broader conception of emotion, as a social practice emerging from interaction, and demonstrates how judicial officers undertake emotion work and use emotion as a resource to achieve impartiality. A key insight is that institutional requirements, including conceptions of impartiality as dispassion, do not completely determine the emotion dimensions of judicial work. Through their everyday work, judicial offiTrade Review"Judging and Emotion is a milestone in research that examines emotion in the practices of the judiciary … It is a fitting testament to the pioneering research into the judiciary that Roach Anleu and Mack have undertaken over many years. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the interconnection between law, justice, the judiciary and emotions. It is an invaluable study of the skills and knowledge a good judge needs to have and to put to work in the courtroom." Leslie J. Moran, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK; from a review in Emotions and Society, 2022"… Roach Anleu and Mack show how impartiality, as a process rather than a state, involves continuous emotion work to balance emotions…" Stina Bergman Blix, Uppsala University, Sweden; from a review in Journal of Law and Society (2021, vol. 48)"Judging and Emotion: A Socio-Legal Analysis is not only a stunning empirical exploration of the everyday emotional landscape of the judiciary in the lower courts in Australia, but it is also a masterclass in doing empirical Socio-Legal research."

Book SynopsisThis book tackles the challenging topic of corruption. It explores the evolution of a global prohibition regime against corrupt activity (the global anti-corruption regime). It analyses the structure of the transnational legal framework against corruption, evaluating the impact of global anti-corruption efforts at a national level. The book focuses on the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) as the primary tool of the global anti-corruption regime. It provides new and engaging material gathered in the field, including first-hand accounts from actors at international, regional, and domestic levels. By documenting the experiences of diverse actors, the book makes a substantial contribution to literature on corruption and anti-corruption efforts. Synthesising empirical research with an exploration of theoretical literature on corruption and regime evolution results in novel suggestions for improvement of the global anti-corruption regime and its legal tools.ThTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1: Setting the Stage - Corruption and the Global Anti-Corruption Regime; 2: The United Nations Convention against Corruption - The Primary Tool of the Global Anti-Corruption Regime; 3: Corruption and Anti-Corruption in the South Pacific Context - Key Actors, Values, and Interests; 4: The Case Study of Papua New Guinea; 5: Experience from the Field - Insight into the Implementation and Enforcement of the United Nations Convention against Corruption in Papua New Guinea; 6: Seeking Answers - Understanding the United Nations Convention against Corruption and its Role in Papua New Guinea; 7: The Final Question - Possibilities for the Future and Concluding Remarks;
