Computable Models of the Law: Languages, Dialogues, Games, Ontologies (Lecture Notes in Computer Science)
By Pompeu Casanovas, Giovanni Sartor, Núria Casellas, Rossella Rubino
Publisher:Springer
Number Of Pages:341
Publication Date:2008-10-01
ISBN-10 / ASIN:3540855688
ISBN-13 / EAN:9783540855682
Binding:Hardcover
Product Description:
Information technology has now pervaded the legal sector, and the very modern concepts of e-law and e-justice show that automation processes are ubiquitous. European policies on transparency and information society, in particular, require the use of technology and its steady improvement.
Some of the revised papers presented in this book originate from a workshop held at the European University Institute of Florence, Italy, in December 2006. The workshop was devoted to the discussion of the different ways of understanding and explaining contemporary law, for the purpose of building computable models of it -- especially models enabling the development of computer applications for the legal domain. During the course of the following year, several new contributions, provided by a number of ongoing (or recently finished) European projects on computation and law, were received, discussed and reviewed to complete the survey.
This book presents 20 thoroughly refereed revised papers on the hot topics under research in different EU projects: legislative XML, legal ontologies, semantic web, search and meta-search engines, web services, system architecture, dialectic systems, dialogue games, multi-agent systems (MAS), legal argumentation, legal reasoning, e-justice, and online dispute resolution. The papers are organized in topical sections on knowledge representation, ontologies and XML legislative drafting; knowledge representation, legal ontologies and information retrieval; argumentation and legal reasoning; normative and multi-agent systems; and online dispute resolution.

A Practical Guide to Evidence
By Christoph Allen
Publisher: Routledge Cavendish
Number Of Pages: 464
Publication Date: 2008-07-25
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 041545719X
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780415457194
Binding: Paperback
Product Description:
This book provides law students and beginners in advocacy with a guide to evidence that emphasises the importance of reasoning with principles, rules and facts, and is of manageable size and scope. The topics covered are those that are likely to give rise to problems, either in examinations or when conducting cases in court. Special attention has been paid to the practical business of developing arguments about admissibility and the exercise of judicial discretion in the context of criminal cases. The book also takes into account the growing requirement that advocates assist the judge by making submissions on contentious matters to be covered in a summing up. The object throughout has been to explain evidence law in a way that will make for sound understanding and the creative use of argument, whether in court or in an examination.

Encyclopedia of Psychology and Law (2 volume set)
By Brian L. Cutler
Publisher:Sage Publications, Inc
Number Of Pages:1008
Publication Date:2007-12-21
ISBN-10 / ASIN:1412951895
ISBN-13 / EAN:9781412951890
Binding:Hardcover
Product Description:
There is no other reference work on psychology and the law, so libraries supporting curricula in this area may consider purchasing. But because this field of study is still in its infancy, and it remains to be seen whether it will grow into something major, this set is otherwise an optional purchase for most libraries.
-Library Journal
The interdisciplinary field of psychology and law appeals to students, psychological scientists, psychologist practitioners, and members of the legal and public policy professions, such as lawyers, judges, lawmakers, and other administrators of justice. This young field of research and practice is noted for its intellectual diversity, as it draws on all of the traditional subdisciplines of psychology and on various domains of law, legal practice, and public policy. Although this diversity is in many respects a very desirable feature, it creates many challenges as well. In particular, the breadth of research and practice contributes to a dearth of comprehensive reference sources and makes it difficult for individual students, scientists, and practitioners to keep current with the growing knowledge base outside of their individual areas of expertise.
This Encyclopedia of Psychology and Law will address research and practice in the interface of psychology and law. It will survey the traditional subdisciplines of psychology: cognitive (e.g., eyewitness testimony), developmental (e.g., children’s testimony), social (e.g., jury behavior), clinical (e.g., assessment of competence), biological (e.g., the polygraph), and industrial-organizational psychology (e.g., sexual harassment in the workplace). Published as two volumes and consisting of approximately 350 to 400 entries (1,000 printed pages), the Encyclopedia will provide an authoritative and comprehensive A-to-Z list of topics in psychology and law of interest to students, scientists, and practitioners. Entries will vary in length from 1,000 to 3,000 words, will be written in clear and concise language, and will be designed to inform without overwhelming the reader. Entries will be organized with the use of a “Reader’s Guide,” which will contain such categories as “Criminal Behavior and Treatment,” “Juvenile Offenders,” “Eyewitness Memory,” Forensic Assessment and Diagnosis,” and “Trial Processes.”

Crisis of Parliamentary Democracy (Studies in Contemporary German Social Thought)
By Carl Schmitt
Publisher:The MIT Press
Number Of Pages:182
Publication Date:1988-06-22
ISBN-10 / ASIN:0262691264
ISBN-13 / EAN:9780262691260
Binding:Paperback
Product Description:
Described both as "the Hobbes of our age" and as "the philosophical godfather of Nazism," Carl Schmitt was a brilliant and controversial political theorist whose doctrine of political leadership and critique of liberal democratic ideals distinguish him as one of the most original contributors to modern political theory.
The Crisis of Parliamentary Democracy offers a powerful criticism of the inconsistencies of representative democracy. First published in 1923, it has often been viewed as an attempt to destroy parliamentarism; in fact, it was Schmitt's attempt to defend the Weimar constitution. The introduction to this new translation places the book in proper historical context and provides a useful guide to several aspects of Weimar political culture.
The Crisis of Parliamentary Democracy is included in the series Studies in Contemporary German Social Thought, edited by Thomas McCarthy.

Legality and Legitimacy
By Carl Schmitt, Carl Schmitt
Publisher:Duke University Press
Number Of Pages:208
Publication Date:2004-01
ISBN-10 / ASIN:0822331748
ISBN-13 / EAN:9780822331742
Binding:Paperback
Product Description:
Carl Schmitt ranks among the most original and controversial political thinkers of the twentieth century. His incisive criticisms of Enlightenment political thought and liberal political practice remain as shocking and significant today as when they first appeared in Weimar Germany. Unavailable in English until now, Legality and Legitimacy was composed in 1932, in the midst of the crisis that would lead to the collapse of the Weimar Republic and only a matter of months before Schmitt’s collaboration with the Nazis. In this important work, Schmitt questions the political viability of liberal constitutionalism, parliamentary government, and the rule of law. Liberal governments, he argues, cannot respond effectively to challenges by radical groups like the Nazis or Communists. Only a presidential regime subject to few, if any, practical limitations can ensure domestic security in a highly pluralistic society.
Legality and Legitimacy is sure to provide a compelling reference point in contemporary debates over the challenges facing constitutional democracies today. In addition to Jeffrey Seitzer’s translation of the 1932 text itself, this volume contains his translation of Schmitt’s 1958 commentary on the work, extensive explanatory notes, and an appendix including selected articles of the Weimar constitution. John P. McCormick’s introduction places Legality and Legitimacy in its historical context, clarifies some of the intricacies of the argument, and ultimately contests Schmitt’s claims regarding the inherent weakness of parliamentarism, constitutionalism, and the rule of law.

After Enron: Improving Corporate Law And Modernising Securities Regulation in Europe And the US
By John Armour, Joseph A. McCahery
Publisher:Hart Publishing
Number Of Pages:718
Publication Date:2006-10
ISBN-10 / ASIN:1841135313
ISBN-13 / EAN:9781841135311
Binding:Paperback
Product Description:
At the end of the twentieth century it was thought by many that the Anglo-American system of corporate governance was performing effectively and some observers claimed to see an international trend towards convergence around this model. There can be no denying that the recent corporate governance crisis in the US has caused many to question their faith in this view. This collection of essays provides a comprehensive attempt to answer the following questions: firstly, what went wrong - when and why do markets misprice the value of firms, and what was wrong with the incentives set by Enron? Secondly, what has been done in response, and how well will it work - including essays on the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in the US, UK company law reform and European company law and auditor liability reform, along with a consideration of corporate governance reforms in historical perspective. Three approaches emerge. The first two share the premise that the system is fundamentally sound, but part ways over whether a regulatory response is required. The third view, in contrast, argues that the various scandals demonstrate fundamental weaknesses in the Anglo-American system itself, which cannot hope to be repaired by the sort of reforms that have taken place. 'This collection of papers by leading US and European corporate law scholars provides fresh and rigorous analyses of the recent corporate governance scandals and the strategies devised by regulators to guard against future governance failures.' Randall Thomas, John Beasley Professor of Law and Business, Vanderbilt University School of Law, Vanderbilt University.

Predictability And Flexibility in the Law of Maritime Delimitation (Studies in International Law)
By Yoshifumi Tanaka
Publisher:Hart Publishing
Number Of Pages:425
Publication Date:2006-06-14
ISBN-10 / ASIN:184113581X
ISBN-13 / EAN:9781841135816
Binding:Hardcover
Product Description:
The principal aim of this book is the quest for a well-balanced legal system that reconciles predictability and flexibility in the law of maritime delimitation. As with all types of law, the law of maritime delimitation should possess a degree of predictability. On the other hand, as maritime delimitation cases differ, flexible considerations of geographical and non-geographical factors is also required in order to achieve equitable results. How, then, is it possible to ensure predictability while taking into account a diversity of factors in order to achieve an equitable result? This, according to the author, is the question at the heart of the law of maritime delimitation. The book addresses this issue in depth by looking at three aspects of the question: first by looking at the two opposing and contrasting approaches evident in the evolution of the law of maritime delimitation; second, by undertaking a comparative study of the case law and State practice; and third, by examining the theoretical problems underlying the law of maritime delimitation.

Kinship Matters
By Fatemeh Ebtehaj, Bridget Lindley, Martin Richards
Publisher:Hart Publishing
Number Of Pages:322
Publication Date:2006-09
ISBN-10 / ASIN:1841136972
ISBN-13 / EAN:9781841136974
Binding:Hardcover
Product Description:
This book is the fifth in the Cambridge Socio-Legal Group series and it concerns the evolving notions and practices of kinship in contemporary Britain and the interrelationship of kinship, law and social policy. Assembling contributions from scholars in a range of disciplines, it examines social, legal, cultural and psychological questions related to kinship. Rising rates of divorce and of alternative modes of partnership have raised questions about the care and well-being of children, while increasing longevity and mobility, together with lower birth rates and changes in our economic circumstances, have led to a reconsideration of duties and responsibilities towards the care of elderly people. In addition, globalisation trends and international flows of migrants and refugees have confronted us with alternative constructions of kinship and with the challenges of maintaining kinship ties transnationally. Finally, new developments in genetics research and the growing use of assisted reproductive technologies may raise questions about our notions of kinship and of kin rights and responsibilities. The book explores these changes from various perspectives and draws on theoretical and empirical data to describe practices of kinship in contemporary Britain.

Principles of European Constitutional Law (Modern Studies in European Law)
By Armin Von Bogdandy, Jurgen Bast
Publisher:Hart Publishing
Number Of Pages:833
Publication Date:2006-06-30
ISBN-10 / ASIN:1841134643
ISBN-13 / EAN:9781841134642
Binding:Hardcover
Product Description:
While politics wrestles with the Constitutional Treaty, this volume presents a European constitutional law - not as a mere project but as binding law. There are good reasons to treat the European Union's current primary law as constitutional law: it establishes public power, legitimates legal acts, provides a citizenship, protects fundamental rights, and regulates the relationships among legal orders as well as between law and politics. Reconstructing primary law as constitutional law yields useful insights, as this volume seeks to demonstrate.
This volume presents European constitutional law as it stands and, on that foundation, the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe. The contributions present its theoretical and doctrinal fundamentals from the perspective of German-speaking scholarship, reflect the state of research, clarify methodological approaches, illuminate legal doctrines and assumptions, and identify research desiderata. The perspectives on offer are not uniform, but encompass varying methodologies and differing political approaches to integration.

Product Description:
The challenges faced by privacy laws in changing technological, commercial and social environments are considered in this broad-ranging examination of privacy law. The book encompasses three overlapping areas of analysis: privacy protection under the general law; legislative measures for data protection in digital communications networks; and the influence of transnational agreements and other pressures toward harmonised privacy standards. Leading, internationally-recognised authors discuss developments across these three areas in the UK, Europe, the US, APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation), Australia and New Zealand. Chapters draw on doctrinal and historical analysis of case law, theoretical approaches to both freedom of speech and privacy, and the interaction of law and communications technologies in order to examine present and future challenges to law's engagement with privacy.
