Oxford University Press The Pursuit of Justice
Book SynopsisWith a survey of the thirty Supreme Court cases that, in the opinion of U.S. Supreme Court justices and leading civics educators and legal historians, are the most important for American citizens to understand, The Pursuit of Justice is the perfect companion for those wishing to learn more about American civics and government. The cases range across three centuries of American history, including such landmarks as Marbury v. Madison (1803), which established the principle of judicial review; Scott v. Sandford (1857), which inflamed the slavery argument in the United States and led to the Civil War; Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), which memorialized the concept of separate but equal; and Brown v. Board of Education (1954), which overturned Plessy. Dealing with issues of particular concern to students, such as voting, school prayer, search and seizure, and affirmative action, and broad democratic concepts such as separation of powers, federalism, and separation of church and state, the book co

London Record Society Summary Justice in the City
Book SynopsisRecords from London's Guildhall reveal the workings of the law in the eighteenth century.For centuries, the City of London's Lord Mayor and Aldermen have headed various courts and tribunals as part of their official obligations. In the City's Guildhall, Londoners from all walks of life could appear before an aldermansitting as a magistrate in the "justice room" and initiate a criminal complaint when they were the victims of crime. But what actually happened in those initial hearings between the accuser, the accused and the magistrate has remained largely obscured to history. These records shed light on the earliest phases of a criminal prosecution and reveal the routines of criminal justice administration in the eighteenth-century metropolis. From the fragmentaryminutes of the proceedings conducted before London's aldermen, who sat for a part of every working day as Justices of the Peace, we learn of the petty squabbles of the City's poor with parish officials, the ready resort to physical violence in public and private spheres, the steady campaign against prostitution, and the growing professionalism of the parish constables who policed London before the arrival of the Metropolitan Police.The records will be ofinterest to historians of London, social historians of crime, genealogists and scholars interested in summary or pre-trial procedures in early modern England; they are presented here with introduction and explanatory notes. Greg T. Smith is Associate Professor of History at the University of Manitoba.Trade ReviewThis book makes a major contribution to our knowledge of both the era's criminal justice system and also daily life in the wider eighteenth-century metropolis. It will be quite invaluable to legal and social historians of the period. * ARCHIVES *Offers a tantalizing insight into the working world of the City justices. As such, it is a valuable addition to the published literature. * ARCHIVES AND RECORDS *Table of ContentsIntroduction Minute Books of the Guildhall Justice Room 1752-1781

LexisNexis UK Cases That Changed Our Lives
Book SynopsisFollowing the international success of Volume 1 in 2010, Volume 2 presents a brand new selection of cases that have changed our lives. This collection of essays examines key cases (both UK and international) that have changed or created the rules and procedures which govern our lives and which we abide by. It takes a retrospective look at the circumstances behind the results of these great cases, examining the facts and the lasting legacies, as well as revealing a human side to the events that is not always apparent from the law reports.The themes addressed by the book demonstrate the rule of law, showing that through something as abstract as judicial reasoning, we create a set of rules and procedures which govern our lives. In support of the rule of law and the causes championed by LexisNexis, a sum of 1 from every copy of the book sold will be donated to Stop the Traffik, a global movement of activists around the world who passionately give their time and energy to build resilient co

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Landmark Cases in the Law of Contract
Book SynopsisLandmark Cases in the Law of Contract offers twelve original essays by leading contract scholars. As with the essays in the companion volumes in this series, each essay takes as its focus a particular leading case, and analyses that case in its historical or theoretical context. The cases range from the early eighteenth- to the late twentieth-centuries, and deal with an array of contractual doctrines. Some of the essays call for their case to be stripped of its landmark status, whilst others argue that it has more to offer than we have previously appreciated. The particular historical context of these landmark cases, as revealed by the authors, often shows that our current assumptions about the case and what it stands for are either mistaken, or require radical modification. The book also explores several common themes which are fundamental to the development of the law of contract: for instance, the influence of commercial expectations, appeals to 'reason' and the significance of particular judicial ideologies and techniques.Trade ReviewThe work presents a refreshing take on the cases examined. -- Anthony Lo Surdo * Australian Banking and Finance Law Bulletin *Landmark Cases in the Law of Contract is a worthwhile collection of essays to have in any library, private or public…one is kept in suspense over the nature of the essay about to be encountered, and the delightful spread ranges from the historical to the doctrinal to the theoretical-more than enough to satisfy anyone interested in the law of contract generally or specifically. -- Goh Yihan * Singapore Journal of Legal Studies *...the particular interest of the essays lies in the background historical, legal, economic and social material which the authors uncover. That a case is a landmark would, one might think, mean that it had received so much attention that there is not much new to say about it. But this is far from being so, and the fascinating background material provided in the book is almost always an intriguing pleasure to read. -- David Campbell * Journal of Legal History *Table of Contents1 Coggs v Barnard (1703) DAVID IBBETSON 2 Pillans v Van Mierop (1765) GERARD MCMEEL 3 Carter v Boehm (1766) STEPHEN WATTERSON 4 Da Costa v Jones (1778) WARREN SWAIN 5 Hochster v De La Tour (1853) PAUL MITCHELL 6 Taylor v Caldwell (1863) CATHARINE MACMILLAN 7 Smith v Hughes (1871) JOHN PHILLIPS 8 Foakes v Beer (1884) MICHAEL LOBBAN 9 Hongkong Fir Shipping Co v Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha Ltd, The Hongkong Fir (1961) DONAL NOLAN 10 Suisse Atlantique Société d'Armament SA v NV Rotterdamsche Kolen Centrale (1966) ROGER BROWNSWORD 11 Reardon Smith Lines Ltd v Yngvar Hansen-Tangen, The Diana Prosperity (1976) MICHAEL BRIDGE 12 Johnson v Agnew (1979) CHARLES MITCHELL

Rowman & Littlefield SCOTUS and COVID: How the Media Reacted to the
Book SynopsisThis book compares the volume and nature of online print and broadcast television coverage from major media outlets from all U.S. Supreme Court oral argument sessions during the October 2019, 2020, and 2021 Terms. The authors demonstrate that the move to livestreaming the Court’s oral argument sessions increased the frequency and depth of online print news media’s coverage in the short term but not in the long term. For both online print and broadcast outlets, their findings suggest that the benefits of increased transparency offered by livestreaming oral argument audio did not come with significant disadvantages for the Court in terms of long-term changes in its news media coverage.The authors analysis provides timely evidence that speaks to the current, and ongoing, debate about public access to the Supreme Court. It also speaks to the likely consequences of permanently continuing the practice of livestreaming oral argument audio and sheds light on the ramifications of other potential expansions in transparency at the Supreme Court, such as livestreaming opinion announcement audio or providing live video coverage of the Court’s proceedings. This work speaks to the impact of increased access to oral arguments and the inner workings of government institutions more broadly. Indeed, the U.S. Supreme Court was not the only institution to grapple with the constraints of the COVID-19 pandemic and opportunities for unprecedented, and instantaneous, access to anyone, anywhere. Better understanding the implications of the Court’s decision to livestream audio from its proceedings provides leverage on the consequences of greater government transparency for news media coverage and, by extension, individuals’ exposure to, and interaction with, government more generally.Trade ReviewSCOTUS and COVID is a timely and accessible book. Houston, Johnson, and Ringsmuth combine their interdisciplinary focus on the U.S. Supreme Court, COVID's impact on institutional procedures, and the media with strong new data and careful social science research methods. The result is a wonderful new book that will make a great addition to courses and scholarly research agendas alike! -- Christina L.

Hackett Publishing Co, Inc Abortion: The Supreme Court Decisions 1965–2022
Book SynopsisThis new edition of Abortion: The Supreme Court Decisions includes all of the major Supreme Court decisions on abortion since the 1960s—as well as many majority, dissenting, and plurality opinions—carefully edited for use by researchers, journalists, and teachers in a variety of disciplines.Trade Review"Abortion: The Supreme Court Decisions has long been an invaluable resource for understanding the contested status of abortion in American law. Updated to bring the narrative to its cataclysmic conclusion in the Dobbs decision of June 2022, this new edition will prove even more essential following the Supreme Court’s repudiation of a half century of precedent." —Linda Greenhouse, Yale University"In Dobbs v. Jackson (2022), the Supreme Court ended the constitutional right to abortion in the United States. Reproductive rights that seemed settled are now subject to change in more than fifty jurisdictions, including a Court that may not have had its last word on the subject. Fortunately for students and scholars alike, Shapiro and Steinmetz have produced an up-to-the-minute guide to the constitutional law of abortion. Their explanations of the legal, historical, philosophical, and political contexts of abortion law are beautifully written, guiding the reader through well-selected cases with clarity." —Elisabeth Ellis, University of Otago, New Zealand"The issue of a right to abortion (alternatively, a right to life) has roiled American politics and society for decades, including in arenas that seem to range far from the topic itself. So, it is essential to understand the judicial decisions that shape Americans’ choices. Abortion has encouraged this understanding through several editions—and the new fourth edition enables us to make sense of recent stunning decisions and dissents. All Americans should read this book." —Jennifer L. Hochschild, Harvard University

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Conflict of Laws: A Comparative Approach: Text
Book SynopsisNow in its second edition, and with significant updates and new material, Gilles Cuniberti’s innovative textbook offers a comparative treatment of private international law, a field of great importance in an increasingly globalized world. Written by a leading voice in the field, and using a text and cases approach, this text systematically presents and compares civil law and common law approaches to issues primarily within the United Kingdom, United States, France and the EU, as well as offering additional updated insights into rules applicable in other jurisdictions such as Japan, China and Germany.Key features of the second edition include: New topics covered in the fields of jurisdiction and foreign judgments Original discussions surrounding the 2019 Hague Convention on Judgments and the changes contemplated by the new US Restatement on Conflict of Laws US, EU, French and English perspectives integrated throughout the text to ensure maximum relevance and encourage students to make comparative assessments Carefully selected extracts from primary and secondary sources that build a clear picture of the field, as well as expert analytical commentaries and questions that set these extracts in context. Offering a unique comparison between the civil law and common law perspective, this revised and updated edition will be a key resource for students in private international law and conflict of law courses. Conflict of Laws: A Comparative Approach will also help to train lawyers who not only know the law of their own jurisdiction, but also need to have an understanding of the key differences between models, in order to be able to interact successfully with clients from other jurisdictions.Trade Review‘The coming out of a second edition of this book is particularly welcome. The reality of nowadays’ world, indeed, makes the adoption of a transnational perspective in the study of private international law particularly deserving, making it rather short-sighted to persist in a purely national or regional attitude in addressing the subject. A further distinguishing feature of this textbook lies in its methodological approach, based on a direct confrontation with cases, arising from the practice of various jurisdictions. This second edition introduces important updates, with a fresh discussion of new cases and more recently adopted legislation, particularly from the EU side, keeping up with the unceasing development of the subject.’ -- Fabrizio Marongiu Buonaiuti, University of Macerata, Italy‘A comparative perspective on private international law is essential in a globalized world of constantly interacting legal systems. Yet there is a dearth of teaching materials offering such a perspective. This makes Professor Cuniberti’s Conflict of Laws: A Comparative Approach an especially important contribution to the field. Reflecting the author’s expertise in both comparative law and private international law, the second edition continues to offer both a valuable teaching resource and a useful point of departure for research on comparative private international law.’ -- Christopher A. Whytock, University of California, US‘The teaching of private international law is perhaps ever more needful in today’s interconnected world where even the most apparently local of cases can turn out to have x-border implications. Accordingly any students who aspire to legal practise will benefit from a basic understanding of the principles. As Cuniberti has correctly identified the best way for students to understand this complex subject is to start with the cases and the commentary upon them; in this sense this latest edition of Conflict of Laws is a hugely valuable teaching tool, bringing all the content together in one volume making it accessible in terms of length and price.’ -- Diana Wallis, University of Hull, UKAcclaim for the first edition:‘While comparison has always been important in the conflict of laws, it is crucial today, in a context of accelerated exchange and diversified societies. But the materials have become, correlatively, so abundant that teaching a satisfactory class in this field is now a considerable challenge.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Landmark Cases in Land Law
Book SynopsisLandmark Cases in Land Law is the sixth volume in the Landmark Cases series of collected essays on leading cases (previous volumes in the series having covered Restitution, Contract, Tort, Equity and Family Law). The eleven cases in this volume cover the period 1834 to 2011, although, interestingly, no fewer than six of the cases were decided or reported in the 1980s. The names of the selected cases will be familiar to property lawyers. However, individually, the essays provide a reappraisal of the cases from a wide range of perspectives - focusing on their historical, social or theoretical context, highlighting previously neglected aspects and even questioning their perceived importance. Collectively, the essays explore several common themes that pervade the law of property – the numerus clausus principle, the conclusiveness of registration, the desirability of certainty in the law and the central question of the enforceability of interests through changes in ownership of land. This volume provides a collection of essays that will be of interest to academics, students and practitioners.Trade ReviewI highly recommend this book to Canadian legal practitioners, academics and law students. Each essay in this volume is well worth reading simply for the doctrinal analysis of the landmark cases. Each author is an authority in land law and each facilitates an in-depth understanding of the cases and their impact. But the worthiness of these essays is not limited to their exemplary doctrinal nature. The essays also provide a rich social, factual or historical context for the decisions and the people and property involved, making the reading experience an enjoyable one. Anyone with an interest in some of the most enduring issues in land law will profit from this collection. -- Jonnette Watson Hamilton * Canadian Business Law Journa *Table of Contents1 Keppell v Bailey (1834); Hill v Tupper (1863) The Numerus Clausus and the Common Law Ben McFarlane 2 Todrick v Western National Omnibus Co Ltd (1934) The Interpretation of Easements Peter Butt 3 Re Ellenborough Park (1955) A Mere Recreation and Amusement Elizabeth Cooke 4 Taylors Fashions Ltd v Liverpool Victoria Trustees Co Ltd; Old & Campbell Ltd v Liverpool Victoria Friendly Society (1979) Stitching Together Modern Estoppel Martin Dixon 5 Federated Homes Ltd v Mill Lodge Properties Ltd (1979) Annexation and Intention Nigel P Gravells 6 Williams and Glyn's Bank Ltd v Boland (1980) The Development of a System of Title by Registration Roger Smith 7 Midland Bank Trust Co Ltd v Green (1980) Maintaining the Integrity of Registration Systems Mark P Thompson 8 Street v Mountford (1985); AG Securities v Vaughan; Antoniades v Villiers (1988) Tenancies and Licences: Halting the Revolution Stuart Bridge 9 City of London Building Society v Flegg (1987) Homes as Wealth Nicholas Hopkins 10 Stack v Dowden (2007); Jones v Kernott (2011) Finding a Home for 'Family Property' Andrew Hayward 11 Manchester City Council v Pinnock (2010) Shifting Ideas of Ownership of Land Susan Bright

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Landmark Cases in Equity
Book SynopsisLandmark Cases in Equity continues the series of essay collections which began with Landmark Cases in the Law of Restitution (2006) and continued with Landmark Cases in the Law of Contract (2008) and Landmark Cases in the Law of Tort (2010). It contains essays on landmark cases in the development of equitable doctrine running from the seventeenth century to recent times. The range, breadth and social importance of equitable principles, as these affect commercial, domestic and even political matters are well known. By focusing on the historical development of these principles, the essays in this collection help us to understand them more clearly, and also provide insights into the processes of legal change through judicial innovation. Themes addressed in the essays include the nature of the courts' equitable jurisdiction, the development of property rights in equity, constraints on the powers of settlors to create express trusts, the duties of trustees and other fiduciaries, remedies for breach of these duties, and the evolution of constructive and resulting trusts.Table of Contents1.

Gleichzeitig wurden an mehreren Stellen Ergänzungen und Kürzungen vorgenommen, um die Darstellung informativ und kompakt zu halten.
