Book SynopsisThe Oxford Handbook of Administrative Justice examines the wide range of scholarship exploring the administrative decisions made by public authorities that affect individual citizens and the mechanisms available for the provision of redress. The Handbook identifies and provides a survey of key transnational themes in administrative justice research, considers theoretical and methodological approaches to administrative justice, and provides a view of the future of administrative justice research. One aspect of administrative justice, namely the study of law and administration, is a core component of law school syllabuses and scholarly research around the world. For many public lawyers, this area of study has been focused heavily on legalistic redress systems (e.g. judicial review). Justice against administrations, however, is delivered through a much broader range of mechanisms than legalistic processes alone: fair initial decision-making procedures, internal review systems, ombuds, administrative tribunals/adjudication, and other institutions play a vital role. Despite their importance to modern governance across the globe (and to the lives of individual citizens), these broader aspects of administrative justice have been left relatively neglected and under-researched, and the Handbook represents a groundbreaking achievement in establishing administrative justice research as a vital and discrete area of study. The Oxford Handbook of Administrative Justice will be an essential resource for legal scholars and social scientists wishing to understand the complexity of this important field.Table of ContentsPreface Administrative Justice as a Field of Study Marc Hertogh, Richard Kirkham, Robert Thomas, and Joe Tomlinson Part I Institutions 1.

Book Synopsis'In order to use law to improve social welfare, scholars and policy makers need to be able to predict how people will respond to the legal change. To do so, they must understand when and how decisions are affects by systematic biases and heuristics, including how people respond to changes in either the legal or institutional environment. In this path-breaking volume, Professors Teitelbaum and Zeiler have assembled leading scholars from a variety of disciplines to enrich our understanding of human decision-making and analyze the implications of behavioral analysis for a wide range of legal issues, including antitrust, consumer finance, criminal law, torts, and property. This book will be enormously valuable for students, scholars and policy makers.'- Jennifer Arlen, New York University, School of Law, US The field of behavioral economics has contributed greatly to our understanding of human decision making by refining neoclassical assumptions and developing models that account for psychological, cognitive, and emotional forces. The field?s insights have important implications for law. This Research Handbook offers a variety of perspectives from renowned experts on a wide-ranging set of topics including punishment, finance, tort law, happiness, and the application of experimental literatures to law. It also includes analyses of conceptual foundations, cautions, limitations and proposals for ways forward.The leading scholars of law, economics, and psychology featured in this Research Handbook use their insights to synthesize and contribute to the extant research at the intersection of behavioral economics and key areas of law, and to demonstrate methods for effective original research. With synthetic literature reviews and original research, conceptual overviews and critical perspectives, as well as topic-specific chapters, it provides a strong overview of this burgeoning field.Law and economics scholars, behavioral law scholars, and behavioral economists and psychologists dealing with law, judgement and decision-making will appreciate this Research Handbook?s dedication to applicable research, and judges, lawmakers, policy advocates and regulators will note its important practical implications for law and public policy.Contributors include: S.

Professors Teitlebaum and Zeiler have gathered a veritable ''who's who'' of leading thinkers and researchers who variously define, defend, extend, and critique the field. For the uninitiated, this volume provides a valuable introduction to behavioral law and economics; for scholars in the field, this is truly indispensable reading.' --Chris Guthrie, Vanderbilt Law School, USTable of ContentsContents: Introduction Joshua C.

Book SynopsisMit nur 42 Jahren starb Hermann Heller am 5. November 1933 im spanischen Exil. Zu seinem Hauptwerk gehört das Werk Staatslehre, das er nicht mehr fertigstellen konnte. Heller prägte darin den Begriff des sozialen Rechtsstaats. Sein Gesamtwerk gilt als Grundlage sozialdemokratischen Staatsverständnisses.Seine Gesammelten Schriften setzen sich aus drei Bänden zusammen und liegen in der 2. Auflage von 1992 vor:Band 1: Orientierung und EntscheidungBand 2: Staatslehre als politische WissenschaftBand 3: Recht, Staat, Macht"Hellers ganzes wissenschaftliches Leben [war] auf die Aufgabe gerichtet, die demokratischen und sozialen Möglichkeiten der Verfassung von Weimar zu nutzen und zu vertiefen. […] Gelang es nicht, eine soziale Demokratie aufzubauen, so fürchtete Heller, es könnte der gesamte Kulturzusammenhang abreißen, der seit der Antike, der Renaissance und der Aufklärung in immer neuen Anläufen die Befreiung der Menschen aus Unterdrückung und Unselbständigkeit bewirkt hatte. Die Gewaltherrschaft Hitlers und seiner Anhänger hat eine solche Katastrophe herbeigeführt, und wir müssen uns heute auf die menschlichen und gesellschaftlichen Grundlagen der Demokratie ganz neu besinnen. Hellers Werk ist bei der Auseinandersetzung mit der jüngsten Vergangenheit unersetzlich."Aus dem Vorwort zur ersten Auflage

Book SynopsisBand 3 der HKW enthält Kelsens Publikationen aus den Jahren 1911 bis 1917, umfasst also die Phase nach dessen Habilitation bis in die letzten Jahre der Donaumonarchie. Die insgesamt 25 Beiträge zeigen ein vielschichtiges Bild des Autors: Neben mehreren Buchbesprechungen und kleineren, tagesaktuellen Arbeiten finden sich Studien, in denen Kelsen den in seiner Habilitationsschrift (HKW 2) grundgelegten ideologiekritisch-positivistischen Ansatz weiterentwickelt und entfaltet; zentrale Schriften des Übergangs von einer statischen zu einer dynamischen Rechtsbetrachtung markieren "Zur Lehre vom Gesetz im formellen und materiellen Sinn" (1913), "Zur Lehre vom öffentlichen Rechtsgeschäft" (1913), "Reichsgesetz und Landesgesetz nach österreichischer Verfassung" (1914), "Über Staatsunrecht. Zugleich ein Beitrag zur Frage der Deliktsfähigkeit juristischer Personen und zur Lehre vom fehlerhaften Staatsakt" (1914) sowie "Die Rechtswissenschaft als Norm- oder als Kulturwissenschaft" (1916). In mehreren Beiträgen widmet er sich Wesen und Wert der Rechtssoziologie, was ihm eine literarische Kontroverse mit dem Hauptvertreter dieser Richtung, Eugen Ehrlich, einbringt. Kelsens Engagement für die Arbeiterbildung dokumentiert sich in dem den Einflüssen des Charakters und der Weltanschauung feinsinnig nachspürenden Aufsatz "Politische Weltanschauung und Erziehung" (1913). Die Kriegszeit, in der Kelsen zuletzt für den k.u.k. Kriegsminister Rudolf Freiherr von Stöger-Steiner tätig ist, schlägt sich in einem Beitrag nieder, der unter anderem Kelsens politischen Realitätssinn zeigt: "Zur Reform der verfassungsrechtlichen Grundlagen der Wehrmacht Österreich-Ungarns" (1917/1918).

Book SynopsisDer Band umfasst die §§ 916-945b, das GVG sowie das EGZPO und damit etliche Normen, die seit der Vorauflage erhebliche Veränderungen erfahren haben. Die Kommentierung von Alexander Bruns zu den §§ 916-945b untersucht nicht nur die grundlegenden Prinzipien des einstweiligen Rechtsschutzverfahrens und dessen verfassungsrechtliche und dogmatische Legitimation, sondern auch die Verfahrensdurchführung in der Praxis. Neu eingearbeitet wurden insbesondere die Einführung des elektronischen Schutzschriftenregisters sowie die Neuerungen durch das Mietrechtsänderungsgesetz 2013, das Gesetz zur Reform des Seehandelsrechts sowie das Gesetz zur Reform der Sachaufklärung in der Zwangsvollstreckung. Das GVG prägt die gesamte Tätigkeit der Gerichte. Die Kommentierung von Matthias Jacobs erläutert daher auch die den einzelnen Bestimmungen zugrunde liegenden tragenden Prinzipien der Gerichtsverfassung. Neu eingearbeitet wurden insbesondere das Gesetz über den Rechtsschutz bei überlangen Gerichtsverfahren und strafrechtlichen Ermittlungsverfahren (§§ 198-201 GVG), die neuen Regelungen zur Bildung von Spezialkammern und Spezialsenaten an Landgerichten und Oberlandesgerichten (§§ 72a, 119a GVG), das Gesetz über die Erweiterung der Medienöffentlichkeit in Gerichtsverfahren (Neuregelungen in §§ 169, 186 und 187 GVG) sowie die andauernde Diskussion über eine mögliche Reform der Kammer für Handelssachen.Die Kommentierung der §§ 946-959 ZPO (grenzüberschreitende vorläufige Kontenpfändung) ist wegen des inhaltlichen Zusammenhangs mit anderen Materien des grenzüberschreitenden Zivilprozesses für Band 11 des Kommentars vorgesehen.Die Auflage erscheint in 12 Bänden. Diese können sowohl einzeln als auch in Subskription bezogen werden.

Book SynopsisGut anderthalb Jahrhunderte ist es her, dass ein berühmter Gelehrter die Rechtswissenschaft mit einer bissigen Satire aufs Korn nahm und durch seinen humoristischen Geniestreich unseren Blick auf das Recht für immer veränderte. Wenige Jahren sind es, seit eine im Verlag Mohr Siebeck erschienene Doktorarbeit beiläufig feststellte: "Dass man Juristen Humor nachsagt, ist eher die Ausnahme." Was ist in der Zwischenzeit geschehen? Wie haben sich Humor und Nachdenklichkeit in der Juristerei über die Jahrzehnte verändert? Das 70-jährige Jubiläum der renommierten "Juristenzeitung" (JZ) bietet Anlass, zurückzuschauen auf die über 400 Glossen und Satiren, die in dieser Fachzeitschrift von 1951 bis 2010 erschienen sind. Mit dem Abstand einiger Jahre wird deutlich, welche dieser Randnotizen heute noch (oder wieder) lesenswert, amüsant und brisant sind."Das Buch ist eine Schatzkarte, von den Herausgebern mit Mühe, Sorgfalt und Vergnügen gezeichnet." Roland Schimmel Juristische Arbeitsblätter 2015, Heft 12, IV-V"Damit ist, neben der Leistung, zu amüsieren, das zweite große Verdienst von "Zeitgeistreiches" angedeutet: Es ist oft erstaunlich, wie wenig vorwitzige Juristen mit dem angeblichen Geist ihrer Zeit zu tun hatten." Martin Rath Legal Tribune Online — www.lto.de/recht/feuilleton/f/buchrezension-zeitgeistgeiches-mohr-siebeck-humor-juristenwitze (11/2015)
