Product Description:
Peter Birks' tragically early death, and his immense influence around the world, led immediately to the call for a volume of essays in his honour by scholars who had known him as a colleague, teacher and friend. One such volume, published in 2006, contained essays largely from scholars working in England ("Mapping the Law: Essays in Memory of Peter Birks", (OUP) edited by Andrew Burrows and Lord Rodger).This volume contains the essays of those outside England who chose to honour Peter, and appears later than the English volume, reflecting the far flung habitations of its authors. The essays contained in this volume are focussed around the law of unjust enrichment, but are not narrowly preoccupied - instead they move freely from unjust enrichment to some of the most profound questions in private law concerning taxonomy, the relationship between contract, property and unjust enrichment, and the place of remedies within private law. This volume provides a fitting tribute to a great scholar, and a series of thought-provoking essays inspired by his example.

Product Description:
This book takes a novel approach to the question of how law shapes the contemporary lives of indigenous peoples in North America. Working through a series of legal cases thematically linked by a concern with how indigenous difference - indigeneity - is produced in the courtroom, this book asks the following questions:
How does legal discourse and practice allow us to think the contemporary political context of Native North America? What can a critical engagement with law reveal about the lives of indigenous peoples in this key historical moment?Through an examination of contemporary property disputes, the use of indigenous justice in mainstream courts, and the use of genetic technologies to prove or disprove indigenous identities, Indigeneity in the Courtroom provides insight into how law, culture, and the production of difference operate in the early twenty-first century.

The Law of Confidentiality: A Restatement
By Paul Stanley
Publisher:Hart Publishing (UK)
Number Of Pages:169
Publication Date:2008-04-14
ISBN-10 / ASIN:1841138118
ISBN-13 / EAN:9781841138114
Binding:Paperback
Product Description:
The last twenty years have seen rapid development of the equitable action for breach of confidence. The Spycatcher saga of the late 1980s led to the restatement of the fundamental principles. There was increasing concern about press intrusion, and the need to protect privacy rights guaranteed by Article 8 of the European Convention in the wake of the Human Rights Act 1998. Against that background, a number of high-profile cases - such as Campbell v MGN Ltd (2004) - explored how common law principles laid down in the nineteenth century might be adapted to twenty-first century conditions. How far will the law go in protecting privacy? Meanwhile, in the "information age", the law has had to grapple - for instance in Douglas v Hello! Ltd (2007) - with how best to protect the commercially valuable information and when it should assist those who wish to exploit it. The result has been rapid development of the law in many diverse areas."The Law of Confidentiality: A Restatement" goes behind the mass of cases to tease out the fundamental principles underlying the modern law. It examines the important questions of substance: the circumstances in which information is protected by law, and how it responds to conflicting public interests. It also looks at the important practical questions of procedure and remedies. It aims to be useful to those looking for a guide to the main principles and controversies in the field, and also to the practising lawyer looking for a clear statement of the basic principles.The law of confidentiality remains commercially and publicly very important, but there is also widespread confusion and misunderstanding about its scope and effect. This book seeks to set out in a clear and unambiguous fashion the present state of English law. The author is a fast rising star of the English Commercial bar.

The Europeanization of National Immigration Policies: Between Autonomy and the European Union (Migration, Minorities and Citizenship)
By Thomas Faist
Publisher:Palgrave Macmillan

Publication Date:2007-04-03
ISBN-10 / ASIN:1403987130
ISBN-13 / EAN:9781403987136
Binding:Hardcover
Product Description:
The Europeanisation of National Immigration Policies offers a comprehensive empirical assessment of the Europeanization of national immigration policies. The authors argue that the impact of European integration has changed national migration policies and the political process of migration policy-making in member states and states bordering the European Union. For example EU integration has led to the strengthening of the executive and the weakening of the parliament in the national configuration of power. Also, the externalisation of migration policy includes the shift of migration control from the national border to safe third countries or to asylum processing centres close to the sending states.

Crime, Punishment, and Mental Illness: Law and the Behavioral Sciences in Conflict (Critical Issues in Crime and Society)

Publication Date:2008-08-30
ISBN-10 / ASIN:0813543371
ISBN-13 / EAN:9780813543376
Binding:Hardcover
Product Description:
Hundreds of thousands of the inmates who populate the nation's jails and prison systems today are identified as mentally ill. Many experts point to the deinstitutionalization of mental hospitals in the 1960s, which led to more patients living on their own, as the reason for this high rate of incarceration. But this explanation does not justify why our society has chosen to treat these people with punitive measures.In "Crime, Punishment, and Mental Illness", Patricia E. Erickson and Steven K. Erickson explore how societal beliefs about free will and moral responsibility have shaped current policies and they identify the differences among the goals, ethos, and actions of the legal and health care systems. Drawing on high-profile cases, the authors provide a critical analysis of topics, including legal standards for competency, insanity versus mental illness, sex offenders, psychologically disturbed juveniles, the injury and death rates of mentally ill prisoners due to the inappropriate use of force, the high level of suicide, and the release of mentally ill individuals from jails and prisons who have received little or no treatment.

Mastering Forensic Psychiatric Practice: Advanced Strategies for the Expert Witness

Publication Date: 2002-05
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1585620076
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781585620074
Binding: Paperback
Product Description:
Once based largely on anecdotal material and thus considered mystifying and idiosyncratic, forensic psychiatry has come into its own as an exciting and uniquely rewarding specialty.This groundbreaking work, designed as the conceptual successor to The Psychiatrist as Expert Witness (American Psychiatric Publishing 1998), covers subject areas that despite extensive ad hoc discussions in professional forums have until now lacked systematic exploration. Here, two leading forensic practitioners present the first truly comprehensive overview of previously unavailable data from actual forensic practice. Focusing on the privately retained practitioner within the civil context of America‘s legal system, this incomparable reference examines forensic practice from basics to trial, covering case preparation, fee agreements and finances (including model fee agreement guidelines), attorney-expert relations (such previously taboo topics as use of the experts name without consent，i.e., the "phantom expert" and attorney pressures on the expert witness), the pitfalls of cross-examination, and issues in forensic countertransference. Extensively annotated and indexed, this unique volume also features vignettes of real-life ethical dilemmas that defy clear resolution, such as the misuse of research funds, sexual misconduct, and malpractice.
Intended to foster and improve the dialogue and understanding between clinical and legal professionals, this in-depth book by top practitioners is certain to raise the standards of forensic practice and become an essential reference in this complex and uniquely challenging field.

Ethical Dimensions of the Foreign Policy of the European Union: A Legal Appraisal (Cambridge Studies in European Law and Policy)

ISBN-13 / EAN:9780521870757
Binding:Hardcover
Product Description:
Urfan Khaliq analyses the theory and practice of the European Union's 'ethical foreign policy', arguing that current practices dilute the impact and efficacy of Union policies but that an effort which is at times effective is being made to protect certain values in the Union's international relations. Beginning with an investigation of the international rules authorising or obliging the Union/Community or the Member States to promote certain values in third countries or take action to protect them, Khaliq goes on to examine the limits under international law which constrain such policies. The issues are then assessed from a Union/Community law perspective, and the importance attached to ethical values and their relationship with other priorities and objectives is analysed in the context of relations with Myanmar, Nigeria, Pakistan, Israel and the Palestinian Authority. The European Community's humanitarian aid policy is also discussed.

Democratic Dilemmas of Multilevel Governance: Legitimacy, Representation and Accountability in the European Union (Transformations of the State)

Product Description:
The 'democratic deficit' of the European Union is a much discussed-concern of politicians and commentators, and this insightful collection argues that this is a result of the multi-level nature of EU governance. Popular loyalties become divided between levels of government, lines of accountability become ambiguous and supranational institutions seem distant from citizens.These challenges are part of broader globalizing processes that have destabilized the traditional notion of the nation state and replaced it with multilevel forms of governance across the globe.

Law, Power and the Politics of Subjectivity: Intersectionality and Beyond (Social Justice)

Publication Date:2008-10-16
ISBN-10 / ASIN:0415432421
ISBN-13 / EAN:9780415432429
Binding:Hardcover
Product Description:
This collection addresses the present and the future of the concept of intersectionality within socio-legal studies. Intersectionality provides a metaphorical schema for understanding the interaction of different forms of disadvantage, including race, sexuality, and gender. But it also goes further to provide a particular model of how these aspects of social identity and location converge - whether at the level of subjectivity, everyday life, in culture or in the institutional practices of state and other bodies. Including contributions from a range of international scholars, this book interrogates what has become a key organizing concept across a range of disciplines, most particularly law, political theory, and cultural studies.

Binding:Hardcover
Product Description:
The Politics of Adoption identifies and analyses the fundamental social and legal functions of adoption. It is a timely publication as across the world adoption law reform is now giving rise to contentious issues. The change process underway in England and Wales offers an opportunity and a perspective to explore areas of commonality and difference in the experience of other nations. It also provides a window through which to examine the presumption that within and between cultures there exists a common understanding of what is meant by adoption.
This book offers a comparative analysis of developments in the law, policy and practice of adoption in England and Wales, the US, Australia and Ireland. It explores the global phenomenon of intercountry adoption. The impact of the European Convention and other international legal instruments are assessed and the resulting implications for the future of adoption are considered. It suggests that the more ‘open’ experience of adoption in indigenous communities such as the Maori of New Zealand, the Aboriginal people of Australia and the Inuit of Canada challenges some of the basic assumptions underpinning adoption law in modern western nations.
The Politics of Adoption is the product of rigorous research, validated by academics in the countries concerned and is written in an accessible manner to appeal not only to academics and practitioners but also to the many whose lives have been touched by adoption.

Rethinking the Borderlands: Between Chicano Culture and Legal Discourse (Latinos in American Society and Culture, No 4)

Publication Date:1995-01-26
ISBN-10 / ASIN:0520085795
ISBN-13 / EAN:9780520085794
Binding:Paperback
Product Description:
Challenging the long-cherished notion of legal objectivity in the United States, Carl Gutiérrez-Jones argues that Chicano history has been consistently shaped by racially biased, combative legal interactions. Rethinking the Borderlands is an insightful and provocative exploration of the ways Chicano and Chicana artists, writers, musicians, and filmmakers engage this history in order to resist the disenfranchising effects of legal institutions, including the prison and the court.
Gutiérrez-Jones examines the process by which Chicanos have become associated with criminality in both our legal institutions and our mainstream popular culture and thereby offers a new way of understanding minority social experience. Drawing on gender studies and psychoanalysis, as well as critical legal and race studies, Gutiérrez-Jones's approach to the law and legal discourse reveals the high stakes involved when concepts of social justice are fought out in the home, in the workplace and in the streets.

Product Description:
Are today's law school students being adequately prepared for their role in the twenty-first century? Inside Law School aims to provoke discussion on the future of legal education, particularly in relation to important topical issues, such as environmental degradation and women's rights, which are not yet part of mainstream legal education. Using easy-to-read parallel dialogues between two law professors and two law students to present his ideas and points of view, Lyon clearly shows the existence of two law school cultures, and lays the foundation for productive debate and reform. This book will be of interest not only to law professors and law students but also to practising lawyers, especially those governing the legal profession. Those outside the law profession who are discontent with our legal system and the role of lawyers in it will also find it captivating reading.

Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc: The Story of a Landmark Libel Case

Binding: Hardcover
Product Description:
Elmer Gertz recalls his long battle in what legal scholars regard as the second most important libel case in legal history: Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc.
Gertz’s ordeal began in Chicago during the violent peace demonstrations of 1968. A youth, Ronald Nelson, was killed by a Chicago policeman, Richard Nuccio. Gertz represented the Nelson family in civil suits against Nuccio and the Chicago police department. After Nuccio was convicted of murder, the John Birch Society published an article in its journal, American Opinion, claiming that Nuccio was framed by Communists. Gertz was targeted as a prime Communist instigator. After reading and studying the article, Gertz filed suit against Robert Welch, Inc., charging that it had defamed him by publishing highly harmful lies impugning his reputation and patriotism.
Gertz writes in detail of his landmark case, which involved two trials, two reviews in the court of appeals, and two battles in the Supreme Court. Although the case was finally decided in April 1981, when a U.S. district court jury awarded him $100,000 compensatory damages and $300,000 punitive damages, Gertz did not receive payment until May 1983, after Robert Welch, Inc., had filed two unsuccessful appeals.
