Pia K: A Lawyer's Guide to Understanding
Hedge Fund, Private Equity, and Venture

A Lawyer's Guide to Understanding Hedge Fund, Private Equity, and Venture Capital Valuation

This book offers an engaging study on the effectiveness and practical application of human rights due diligence in the corporate sphere. As corporate power increases, human rights measures are increasingly being used to restrain this power. One of the most ambitious of these are the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, setting out a framework of human rights due diligence ('HRDD'). Taking a four part approach, the book firstly outlines the conceptual development of HRDD; it secondly puts forward a theoretical framework for it as an accountability process. It then thirdly goes on to provide qualitative case studies of multinational corporations illustrating logics at play concerning the HRDD, before concluding by offering an alternative approach to HRDD to alleviate some of the concerns around accountability. This thoughtful, engaging study will appeal to human rights lawyers, company lawyers and those researching in the field of management.

Tort law refers to the system of laws governing civil wrongdoing. The bedrock for vital government functions, it is most visible during legal disputes related to common activities, like driving a car and receiving medical care. It's quotidian nature makes tort a useful entry point for assessing Americans' perceptions of today's "post-truth" political landscape. Sensationalized accounts of these encounters with the law reflect broader opinions about the state and each other, across the political spectrum. Conservatives, for example, exaggerate the prevalence of frivolous claims, while liberals describe the role of tort as holding reckless corporations accountable. &nbsp;&nbsp;In this book, the authors map these debates onto the mythology of rugged American individualism, which privileges both stoic self-reliance and standing up to powerful interests. They explore attitudes towards claimants and claims in three policy areas: medical malpractice, auto collisions, and premises liability. <the rugged="" litigant="" deftly="" weaves="" a="" story="" of="" complex="" and="" layered="" preferences="" that="" defy="" conventional="" accounts="" culture="" wars,="" ultimately,="" display="" shocking="" degree="" consensus:="" people="" believe="" litigation="" should="" be="" an="" option="" -="" when="" used="" as="" last="" resort.="" these="" findings="" offer="" novel="" roadmap="" for="" countering="" the="" seemingly="" intractable="" polarization="" in="" today&#39;s="" politics.="" <="" p=""></the>

How can governments reconcile trade, sustainability, and economic development in an increasingly fragmented world? Bringing together scholars from Europe and Latin America, this volume examines the legal and political challenges of sustainable trade. Through original research and case studies on the EU Deforestation Regulation, carbon border measures, trade agreements, critical minerals, and sustainability standards, the book analyzes the opportunities, trade-offs, and tensions generated by the growing integration of sustainability into international trade. It offers a timely and multidisciplinary perspective on one of the most pressing challenges facing the global economy today. Contributors are: Charlotte Sieber-Gasser, Claudia Alvarenga Marconi, Daniel A. Cordova-Pineda, Elisa Sürth, Emilio Del Pupo, Felicitas Fischer, Flavia de Campos Mello, Fritz Brugger, Ilaria Espa, Joschka J. Prosik, Mariana Mariani, Metodi Sotirov, Noémie Laurens, Paula Wojcikiewicz Almeida, Pedro da Motta Veiga, Rafael de Souza Nascimento Miranda, Rodrigo Fagundes Cezar, Sandra Polónia Rios, Tetyana Payosova, Victor Saco, and Yixian Sun.

Róisín Á Costello provides a critical analysis of the ways in which law is portrayed in Irish literature and argues that authors from Ireland (writing in both Irish and English) have consistently used literature as a mechanism to challenge and critique institutional power. In doing so, she argues that Irish literature, and the narratives it has created about law, have been used to re-assert and recomplicate Irish identities at sites of conflict and to interrogate the legitimacy of power and how it is exercised. Drawing on a range of texts including novels, poetry, plays, song and satire, Costello illustrates that Irish literature has acted as a decolonial and intersectional force in critiquing the institution of law and constructing national, linguistic and political identities in Ireland. She traces a pattern in which Irish authors consistently used literature as a lens for legal analysis in Ireland, using their work to address fundamental concerns about the legitimacy of law, the role of doubt in legal proceedings, the need for popular accountability, and the marginalisation of minority groups an identities by formal institutions and system.

Forced "Return" of Migrants to Transit and Fourth Countries

For the last thirty years, Eric Francis has covered crime in Vermont, the state with, according to the statistics, the lowest crime rate in the nation. But statistics are statistics and people are people, and Eric, who calls himself the last of the living dinosaurs, is out there day after day reporting on robberies, assaults, car accidents, and the rising tide of drug overdoses due to fentanyl. It's far from quiet in the safest state in the US. Every day brings something new and more often than not strange (in a Vermont way). As recently as six years ago, there would have been other reporters and photographers covering these stories. Now, in the Upper Valley of Vermont and New Hampshire, Eric is the only local journalist on the scene, any scene. This book chronicles the life and times of one of the very last people paying attention to what's really going on in a rural New England that only seems tranquil... Dispatches from individual lives, as they happen: Each short book originates in short confidences recorded by individuals during borrowed moments from their interesting lives. Set amidst some of our most pressing contemporary predicaments and edited by award-winning writers Peter Orner and Laura Lampton Scott, Dispatches captures some of the highs and lows of daily human endurance.

The Life and Days of Eric Francis (Dispatches #3)

Covering Crime in the Safest State in the Nation

The Office of Hawaiian Affairs is a semi-autonomous government agency established at the height of the Hawaiian cultural and political renaissance to expend public funds for the benefit of Native Hawaiians. In The Sword of History Troy Andrade offers a legal and political history of this agency in order to excavate its role in the ongoing struggle for Native Hawaiian self-determination. Andrade demonstrates how the framing of past events in connection with present-day lawmaking perpetuates narratives of either justice or injustice, which in turn support or undermine the legal bases for reparative action. He sheds light on how history becomes a metaphorical sword that is wielded by those with power to control reconciliation efforts. &nbsp;&nbsp;Using legal records, archival materials, and personal interviews, this manuscript expands on legal-historical understandings of the use of collective memory in different legal institutions, such as through state constitution building, legislation, and court opinions. Andrade deftly weaves a compelling narrative out of these complex and often fraught legal battles, which often had implications far beyond the Hawaiian state. Ultimately this book offers a novel perspective on the complicated legal politics surrounding indigeneity in the U.S. writ large.

The Office of Hawaiian Affairs and the Struggle for Reparative Justice

The Sword of History

Speech has become an increasingly central feature of international criminal proceedings, particularly in cases involving senior political or military leaders. The PJI Guidelines are grounded in extensive jurisprudence, empirical research, and scholarly analysis, drawing on decisions from international courts and tribunals as well as broader interdisciplinary insights. Anchored on the fundamental right to freedom of expression, the Guidelines conveys guidelines for securing criminal accountability. In doing so, the book addresses cutting edge issues including disinformation, interpretation, social media, and AI propagated inflammatory and hateful speech, among other topics. It proposes 10 Key Guidelines, including an amendment to Article 25(3)(e) to criminalise intentional, direct and public incitement to any atrocity crime under the Rome Statute. Contributors are: Katharina Braun, Juan Manuel Klein, Damla Yasemin Ipek, and Manuel J. Ventura.
