It is organized around three themes:

the ways in which concepts of property are symbolically and practically connected to relations of powerthe 'objects' of property in changing contexts of materialismchallenges to the Western idea of property posed by colonial and post-colonial contexts, such as the disempowerment through property of whole cultures, the justifications for colonial expansion and bio piracy.

Greater Understanding, Better Evaluations

Today's increasingly sophisticated psychological and neuropsychological assessments allow for greater understanding and evaluations in forensic psychology. By integrating discussions of modern psychological and neuropsychological tests with extant civil and criminal cases, this book presents a unique resource for insight into the impact of modern behavioral science on the legal system.

Foundational, Criminal, and Civil Issues

Divided into three parts, this timely compilation of articles from national and international experts begins with foundational issues such as the legal, ethical, and applied aspects of mitigation evaluations. It examines violence prediction and risk analysis, violence in the family, and the detection of malingering and deception in forensic evaluations. Part 2 looks at the psychological issues found in criminal forensic evaluation. This section discusses assessments of competence to stand trial, mitigatory defenses, and hostage negotiation, as well as the psychological impact of officer-involved shootings. The final part focuses on neuropsychological evaluation as it is relevant to civil cases including worker

Constitutional Self-Government
By Christopher L. Eisgruber


  * Publisher:  Harvard University Press
  * Number Of Pages:  272
  * Publication Date:  2007-09-30
  * ISBN-10 / ASIN:  0674025407
  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780674025400



Product Description:

Most of us regard the Constitution as the foundation of American democracy. How, then, are we to understand the restrictions that it imposes on legislatures and voters? Why, for example, does the Constitution allow unelected judges to exercise so much power? And why is this centuries-old document so difficult to amend? In short, how can we call ourselves a democracy when we are bound by an entrenched, and sometimes counter-majoritarian, constitution?

In Constitutional Self-Government, Christopher Eisgruber focuses directly on the Constitution's seemingly undemocratic features. Whereas other scholars have tried to reconcile these features with majority rule, or simply acknowledged them as necessary limits on democracy, Eisgruber argues that constitutionalism is best regarded not as a constraint upon self-government, but as a crucial ingredient in a complex, non-majoritarian form of democracy. In an original and provocative argument, he contends that legislatures and elections provide only an incomplete representation of the people, and he claims that the Supreme Court
should be regarded as another of the institutions able to speak for Americans about justice. At a pivotal moment of worldwide interest in judicial review and renewed national controversy over the Supreme Court's role in politics
, Constitutional Self-Government ingeniously locates the Constitution's value in its capacity to sustain an array of institutions that render self-government meaningful for a large and diverse people.

Economic Analysis of Accident Law
By Steven Shavell


  * Publisher:  Harvard University Press
  * Number Of Pages:  320
  * Publication Date:  2007-03-31
  * ISBN-10 / ASIN:  0674024176
  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780674024175



Product Description:

Accident law, if properly designed, is capable of reducing the incidence of mishaps by making people act more cautiously. Scholarly writing on this branch of law traditionally has been concerned with examining the law for consistency with felt notions of right and duty. Since the 1960s, however, a group of legal scholars and economists have focused on identifying the effects of accident law on people's behaviour. Steven Shavell's book is the definitive synthesis of research to date in this new field.

Protecting Society from Sexually Dangerous Offenders: Law, Justice, and Therapy (Law and Public Policy: Psychology and the Social Sciences)

  * ISBN-10 / ASIN:  1557989737
  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9781557989734
  * Binding:  Hardcover




Product Description:

Legal and mental health experts explore the ramifications of the controversial sexual predator commitment laws, registration and community notification laws, and chemical castration laws that have come into existence since 1990. The increasing number of sex crimes, especially those committed by released sex offenders against young victims, has struck a public nerve. In this volume, contributing authors discuss the issues surrounding these new legal strategies and the alternatives to such programmes. They examine the wisdom and constitutionality of post-incarceration commitment and the difficulty of determining who is most likely to offend again. Contributors propose alternatives to involuntary commitment, including community containment and programmes for treating sexually abused children so as to reduce the chances of them growing up to continue the cycle of sexual abuse. They also propose ways in which these new legal approaches can be applied to increase their therapeutic potential.

  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780813541921
  * Binding:  Hardcover



Product Description:

George "Woody" Clarke has been renowned for years in legal circles and among the news media because of his expertise in DNA evidence. In this memoir, Clarke chronicles his experiences in some of the most disturbing and notorious sexual assault and murder court cases in California. He charts the beginnings of DNA testing in police investigations and the fight for its acceptance by courts and juries. He illustrates the power of science in cases he personally prosecuted or in which he assisted, including his work with the prosecution team in the trial of O.J. Simpson.Although Clarke spent much of his career as a prosecutor, he also covers cases where DNA evidence was used to exonerate. He directed a special project, proactively examining over six hundred cases of defendants convicted and sentenced to prison before 1993, with the goal of finding instances in which DNA typing might add new evidence and then offered testing to those inmates.Databases of both convicted offenders and no-suspect cases demonstrate the power of DNA testing to solve the unsolvable. As Clarke tells the story of how he came to understand and use this new form of evidence, readers will develop a new appreciation for the role of science in the legal system.

European Administrative Law
in the Constitutional Treaty (Modern Studies in European Law)
By Eva Nieto-garrido, Isaac Martin Delgado


  * Publisher:  Hart Publishing
  * Number Of Pages:  190
  * Publication Date:  2007-09-18
  * ISBN-10 / ASIN:  1841135127
  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9781841135120
  * Binding:  Paperback



Product Description:

This book presents an integrated approach to general questions of European administrative law and offers some possible solutions to the problems which it poses, the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe being the main point of reference. Under the Treaty, general questions of administrative law are no longer addressed merely in a fragmented or incidental way but as a discipline that governs the exercise of sovereign powers by a supranational entity. This calls for a detailed examination of the fields which comprise European administrative law and the book therefore examines in some detail the key areas of rulemaking powers and normative instruments, the implications of the Charter of Fundamental Rights for European and national administrations, administrative procedure, and judicial protection within the European Union.

Our Knowledge of the Law: Objectivity and Practice in Legal Theory
By George Pavlakos


  * Publisher:  Hart Publishing
  * Number Of Pages:  267
  * Publication Date:  2007-06-14
  * ISBN-10 / ASIN:  1841135038
  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9781841135038
  * Binding:  Hardcover



Product Description:

In the long-standing debate between positivism and non-positivism, legal validity has always been a subject of controversy. While positivists deny that moral values play any role in the determination of legal validity, non-positivists affirm the opposite thesis. In departing from this narrow point of view, the book focuses on the notion of legal knowledge. Apart from what one takes to constitute the grounds of legal validity, there is a more fundamental issue about cognitive validity: how do we acquire knowledge of whatever is assumed to constitute the elements of legal validity? When the question is posed in this form a fundamental shift takes place. Given that knowledge is a philosophical concept, for anything to constitute an adequate ground for legal validity it must satisfy the standards set by knowledge. In exploring those standards the author argues that knowledge is the outcome of an activity of judging, which is constrained by reasons (reflexive). While these reasons may vary with the domain of judging, the reflexive structure of the practice of judging imposes certain constraints on what can constitute a reason for judging. Amongst these constraints are found not only general metaphysical limitations but also the fundamental principle that one with the capacity to judge is autonomous or, in other words, capable of determining the reasons that form the basis of action. One sees, as soon as autonomy has been introduced into the parameters of knowledge, that law is necessarily connected with every other practical domain. The author shows, in the end, that the issue of knowledge is orthogonal to questions about the inclusion or exclusion of morality, for what really matters is whether the putative grounds of legal validity are appropriate to the generation of knowledge. The outcome is far more integral than much work in current theory: neither an absolute deference to either universal moral standards or practice-independent values nor a complete adherence to conventionality and institutional arrangements will do. In suggesting that the current positivism versus non-positivism debate, when it comes to determining law's nature, misses the crux of the matter, the book aims to provoke a fertile new debate in legal theory.

Free Movement, Social Security and Gender in the EU (Modern Studies in European Law)
By Vicki Paskalia


  * Publisher:  Hart Publishing
  * Number Of Pages:  342
  * Publication Date:  2007-07-31
  * ISBN-10 / ASIN:  1841136220
  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9781841136226
  * Binding:  Hardcover



Product Description:

This work examines the system of co-ordination of national social security laws
in the European Union from a gender perspective. The central question raised in it concerns the level of social security protection of women moving throughout the Union in the case of work interruption or marriage dissolution. The social security protection of women has traditionally been based on two criteria, namely economic activity and family/marriage. Work interruptions, in particular for child-rearing, challenge the invocation of economic activity as an effective basis for social security rights. Changed social and family conditions, including the emergence of atypical relationships and increase in divorce rates, challenge the criterion of family/marriage. Efforts have been made within the framework of the national systems of the Member States to address these challenges, often unsuccessfully. How successful then has the European system of co-ordination, the aim of which is to provide a sufficient level of protection to migrant workers and their families, been in addressing these challenges? The book contains a comprehensive discussion of the phenomenon and legal institution of social security, as well as a thorough analysis of the current state of European Community law concerning co-ordination, with a particular focus on gender. In conclusion, several problematic areas are identified, where solutions have to be worked out and action has to be taken. The book fills a gap in the legal literature, the social security field and will be of interest to anyone with an interest in social security, including academics, policy-makers and practitioners.

The East German Social Courts: Law and Popular Justice in a Marxist-Leninist Society

  * Publisher:  Praeger Publishers

  * Publication Date:  2007-03-30
  * ISBN-10 / ASIN:  0275975649
  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780275975647
  * Binding:  Hardcover



Product Description:

An interesting read for professional jurists, court administrators, and scholars concerned with lay adjudication or East German legal institutions, this book provides an account of the social courts of the German Democratic Republic (GDR). Although the East German system was corrupt and oppressive, the social courts were an innovative and successful experiment. Rooted in Marxist-Leninst legal doctrine, these courts handled thousands of minor civil disputes and petty criminal offenses each year. The judges and jurists who worked at these courts were lay people and did not receive any pay for their services. This book delves into the history of the social courts and their success with both the government and the citizens of East Germany. It also presents the courts as an instructive example of an inexpensive, speedy, and popular legal institution that should be studied by today's court systems. The social courts of the GDR had a wide range of primary and auxiliary functions. Some of these functions were to relieve the state courts of the need to deal with a variety or minor civil and criminal cases, give ordinary citizens an important role to play in the administration of justice, raise the citizens' legal knowledge and consciousness, and tie citizens more closely to the regime through participatory acts. Offering both commendations and criticisms of the social courts, this book seeks to provide a record of the structures, functions, interactions, decisions, and personnel of the social courts, along with a comparative analysis to other legal systems, such as those of the United States of America.

Indigenous Peoples and Governance Structures: A Comparative Analysis of Land and Resource Management Rights

  * ISBN-10 / ASIN:  085575379X
  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780855753795
  * Binding:  Paperback



Product Description:

Indigenous Australians share with the Indigenous peoples of the world a commitment to govern their lands. Increasingly, international law standards are providing for the right of indigenous participation in decisions affecting natural resources and land use. These rights are derived from common law. In practical terms, the degree of self governance is provided by national statutes and treaties or through the declarations and protocols of international bodies like the United Nations. Indigenous peoples, legal and other professionals have actively engaged a number of international and national legal mechanisms to achieve degrees of self-governance in Canada, the United States, Greenland, Demark, Norway, New Zealand and Australia.This book presents these dynamic precedents in the ongoing effort for indigenous self governance. The book, together with the companion volume on "rescribed Bodies Corporate", examines the policies and practices of various regimes of governance on Aboriginal land including the emerging regimes for the management of native title areas, and the incorporation of Indigenous interests into land administration. The authors have augmented this assessment with a comprehensive comparative analysis of regimes in operation in other jurisdictions. This study highlights the need for such, structures of engagement to be designed in ways that reflect Indigenous peoples' interests, perspectives and aspirations. To do so, Indigenous peoples must be involved in their design and implementation.

The Institutional Veil in Public International Law: International Organisations And the Law of Treaties (Hart Monographs in Transnational and International Law)
By Catherine Brolmann


  * Publisher:  Hart Publishing
  * Number Of Pages:  313
  * Publication Date:  2007-09-10
  * ISBN-10 / ASIN:  1841136344
  * ISBN-13 / EAN:  9781841136349
  * Binding:  Hardcover



Product Description:

This book deals with the nature of international organisations and the tension between their legal nature and the system of classic, state-based international law. This tension is important in theory and practice, particularly when organisations are brought under the rule of international law and thus have to be designated as legal subjects. The position is complicated by what the author terms 'the institutional veil', comparable to the corporate veil found in corporate law. The book focuses on the law of treaties, as this pre-eminently 'horizontal' branch of international law brings out the problem particularly clearly. The first part of the book addresses the legal phenomenon of international organisations, their legal features as independent concepts, the history of international organisations and of legal thought in respect of them, and the development of contemporary law on international organisations. The second part deals with the practice of international organisations and treaty-making. It discusses treaty-making practice within organisations, judicial practice in interpretation of organisations' constitutive treaties, and the practice of treaty-making by organisations. The third and final part analyses the process by which international organisations have been brought under the rule of the written law of treaties, offering a practical application of the conceptual framework as previously set out. Part three is at the same time an analytic overview of the drafting history of the 1986 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties between States and International Organisations or between International Organisations.

Product Description:

"The Cambridge Yearbook of European Legal Studies" provides a forum for the scrutiny of significant issues in European Union Law, the Law of the Council of Europe, and Comparative Law with a 'European' dimension, and particularly those which have come to the fore during the year preceding publication. The contributions appearing in the collection are commissioned by the Centre for European Legal Studies (CELS) Cambridge, which is the research Centre of Cambridge University Law Faculty specialising in European legal issues. The papers presented are all at the cutting edge of the fields which they address, and reflect the views of recognised experts drawn from the University world, legal practice, and the civil services of both the EU and its Member States. Inclusion of the comparative dimension brings a fresh perspective to the study of European law, and highlights the effects of globalisation of the law more generally, and the resulting cross fertilisation of norms and ideas that has occurred among previously sovereign and separate legal orders. "The Cambridge Yearbook of European Legal Studies" is an invaluable resource for those wishing to keep pace with legal developments in the fast moving world of European integration.

Product Description:

Juvenile arrest rates in the United States have declined over the past decade, yet the percentage of girls in trouble with the law increased. Girls now are also more likely to enter the juvenile legal system as a result of violent events, rather than for minor violations for which previous generations of young women were more commonly detained. In "Girls in Trouble with the Law", sociologist Laurie Schaffner takes us inside female detention centers and explores the worlds of those who are incarcerated. Across the country, she finds that an overwhelming majority of these young women are from ethnic or racial minority groups, and most have experienced some sort of sexual abuse or assault. Focusing on the girls' experiences of violence and the inequities of the criminal justice system, Schaffner explores three central questions. How have changing social norms of sexuality and emotional expression influenced adolescent girls' transgressions? What do authority, consent, and choice mean to young urban women in trouble? How do they experience and understand the violent episodes in their lives? Offering a critical assessment of what she describes as a gender-insensitive juvenile justice system, Schaffner makes a compelling argument that current policies do not go far enough to empower disadvantaged girls so that they can overcome the social limitations and gender, sexual, and racial/ethnic discrimination that continue to plague young women growing up in the contemporary United States.
