Nelson J: A Prospectus Of The Scientific
Study Of The Hindu Law (1881)

A Prospectus Of The Scientific Study Of The Hindu Law (1881)

From Reconstruction to Redemption, from the enactment of landmark civil rights legislation to the execution of the Southern strategy, from 2020's multiracial protests to the swift elimination of policies etching out a more inclusive society, Americans regularly experience periods of racial reckoning followed by walloping retrenchment.In Black Evidence, political scientist Candis Watts Smith shows that this pattern is the result of an American habit: denying the truths about our society that Black people experience and remember. Smith then delivers a warning: the effects of this habit ripple out, dulling our ability to identify the signs of authoritarianism and heightening our tolerance for cruelty. Still, she shows how these same truths offer models to overcome our repeated predicament.Through a curation of critical moments across four centuries, Smith invites us to review the evidence that has been obscured, distorted, and denied. She rigorously investigates the practices that turn Black witnesses into liars in the court room, Black patients into superbodies that don't feel pain in health care settings, Black people into subhumans in scientific experiments, and Black children into superpredators. She reveals what happens when Black voices are subject to exclusion-their communities are terrorized, their memories are refuted, and their resistance is pathologized.Written with compassion and tempered optimism, Black Evidence prescribes a cure and encourages readers to practice the skills needed to build a truly multiracial democracy: confront our past, acknowledge the damage of inequality in our present, and listen to the voices of those who experience the problems we wish to solve for an equitable future.

A History and a Warning

Black Evidence

Since the 1960s, the class action lawsuit has been a powerful tool for holding businesses accountable. Yet years of attacks by corporate America and unfavorable rulings by the Supreme Court have left its future uncertain. In this book, Brian T. Fitzpatrick makes the case for the importance of class action litigation from a surprising political perspective: an unabashedly conservative point of view. Conservatives have opposed class actions in recent years, but Fitzpatrick argues that they should see such litigation not as a danger to the economy, but as a form of private enforcement of the law. He starts from the premise that all of us, conservatives and libertarians included, believe that markets need at least some rules to thrive, from laws that enforce contracts to laws that prevent companies from committing fraud. He also reminds us that conservatives consider the private sector to be superior to the government in most areas. And the relatively little-discussed intersection of those two beliefs is where the benefits of class action lawsuits become clear: when corporations commit misdeeds, class action lawsuits enlist the private sector to intervene, resulting in a smaller role for the government, lower taxes, and, ultimately, more effective solutions. Offering a novel argument that will surprise partisans on all sides, The Conservative Case for Class Actions is sure to breathe new life into this long-running debate.

The Conservative Case for Class Actions

Europäisches Wirtschaftsrecht

Unternehmen übertragen zunehmend wichtige Aufgaben auf Algorithmen. Insbesondere im Kartellrecht birgt dieser Einsatz "künstlicher" Intelligenz das Risiko von Rechtsverletzungen. Der Autor analysiert auf Grundlage der allgemeinen delikts- und strafrechtlichen Dogmatik, ob Unternehmen im europäischen und deutschen Kartellrecht für Gesetzesverstöße durch Algorithmen verantwortlich gemacht werden können. Ein Fokus liegt dabei auf der Ausdifferenzierung einer allgemeinen Zurechnungsdogmatik im europäischen Kartellrecht. Der Autor widmet sich dabei einer grundlegenden Frage: Ist die geltende Rechtsordnung und die zugrundeliegende Dogmatik für den Umgang mit neuesten technischen Entwicklungen gewappnet?

Aus dem Vorwort:
"Ein erstaunliches Projekt hat mit diesem ersten Band (...) Gestalt angenommen. "An der Schnittstelle zwischen Wissenschaft und Praxis soll die neu eingerichtete Edition Seehaus [plus] einen Beitrag zur Entwicklung eines evidenzbasierten und nachhaltigen Umgangs mit Kriminalität und Opferschutz leisten"; so steht es in einem Konzeptpapier, das den Beginn nicht nur einer Buchreihe, sondern eines Gesamtprojektes beschreibt, das wohl in Deutschland einzigartig sein dürfte."

A Nora Carleton Legal Thriller

'The plot goes like a train . . . vivid and compelling' Ian Rankin

One chance to crack the case. A million ways to lose.

Federal prosecutor Nora Carleton has spent years building a case against a powerful New York mobster. She finally has a star witness whose testimony will lock the defendant away for good.

But the courtroom is an unpredictable place. While the killing of a disgraced former governor appears unconnected to the trial, the fallout from his death means a guilty verdict hangs in the balance. 

Desperate to stop the mobster walking free, Nora investigates the darker side of the city to find out how everything connects. The more she uncovers, the deeper the corruption runs. And Nora knows better than most that the truth is a fragile thing - especially in court.

Drawing on James Comey's thirty years in federal law enforcement, Central Park West is a fast-paced thriller, bursting with tension and authenticity - perfect for fans of John Grisham.

Central Park West

Cultures juridiques et politiques

Eurasia is neither a juxtaposition of sub-regions - Central Asia, West Europe, East Asia - nor a single, coherent legal system. It mixes sui generis evolutions and mutual influences of its constituent systems. The period of Eurasian countries going their own, national(ist) way in building a legal system (Europe before 1950, Central Asia under Soviet rule, East Asia in colonialisms) has yielded to one when no 'universal' system applies. Regional mechanisms are mutually inspired, for instance the EU and the EAEU; or the OSCE and the CICA.
Chapters are by scholars based in Korea, Kazakhstan, France, China, Russia and Spain. Each sub-region is analysed through a 'main' reference (Kazakhstan, France, Korea) and a 'complementary model' (Russia, China, Spain), within the context of institutional region-building.C
Two factors accelerate change in Eurasian legal systems: national/regional experiences and evolutions influence each other; the world context (crises, sanctions, wars, trade diplomacy...) push even further : no country (or region) can in isolation devise legal solutions to these challenges.

'Stand by for fireworks as it hits the shelves' SUNDAY TIMES'If Orwell were with us today, he'd be writing books like this' PATRICK RADDEN KEEFE'Breath-taking and jaw-dropping' PETER FRANKOPAN'A true-life thriller' ANNE APPLEBAUMFrom the bestselling author of Kleptopia comes a true story about Cuckooland - a world where the rich can buy everything - including the truth.Everywhere, the powerful are making a renewed claim to the greatest prize of all: to own the truth. The power to choose what you want reality to be and impose that reality on the world.For three years, Tom Burgis followed a lead that took him deeper and deeper into Cuckooland - the place where the rich own the truth. The trail snaked from the Kremlin to Kathmandu, Stockholm to the Steppe, from a blood-soaked town square in Uzbekistan to a royal retreat in Scotland. Burgis hunted down oligarchs, developed secret sources and traced vast sums of money flowing between multinational corporations, ex-Soviet dictators and the west's ruling elites. And he found one man who wanted the power to bend reality to his will.This book tells an astonishing story: a tale of secrets and lies that reveals how fragile that truth can be. Whether it's in Kazakh torture chambers or the UK's High Court, the lords of Cuckooland are seizing control of the truth. They decree what stories may be told about war and money and power, what we are permitted to know - and more importantly, what we are not.From the bestselling author of Kleptopia, Cuckooland is a deeply reported work of non-fiction that reads like a thriller. It is a story of how globalisation and technological revolution have combined to imperil the foundation of free societies: that the truth belongs to the many, not the few.

Cuckooland

Law and Criminology (R0)

&lt;p&gt;This book aims to identify the sociological reasons that resulted in the perceived lack of authority of precedents in civil law systems, starting from the premise that common law systems rely on precedents, while civil law systems do not. The reasoning is based on the sociology of law, mainly on Max Weber’s theory, legal theory, and constitutional law.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;English common law, seen by Weber as a law devoid of formal rationality mainly because it does not allow for generalization and comprehensiveness, became a predictable system through stare decisis. This serves to highlight not only that it is not to be confused with common law but especially to clarify that “binding precedents” are necessary as the law moves away from calculability.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The transformation of civil law due to the impact of constitutionalism, the increasingly widespread use of general clauses, and the evolution of the theory of interpretation eliminated the pretensions of logical positivism and, consequently, the predictability upon which it would be achievable. However, if the law contemplated by Weber ceased to exist and the new law came to depend largely on the subjectivity of the judge, this does not mean that society could remain helpless and devoid of guarantees of predictability and equality, as the new profile of civil law could not be compatible with a coherent legal order and a rational distribution of justice.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the end, the book seeks to demonstrate the fundamentality of precedent for the unity and development of law, clarity and generality, promotion of equality, institutional strengthening, limitation of state power, predictability, economic rationality, respect for the law, and increased personal responsibility.&lt;/p&gt;

A Justification from a Modern Historical Perspective

Culture and Predictability of Law

"In 1989, Ben Spencer was convicted of murdering businessman Jeffrey Young-a crime he didn't commit. Spencer to spent more than half his life in prison until independent investigators, the foreman of the jury that convicted him, and a new district attorney convinced a judge that Spencer had nothing to do with the killing. He was released from prison in 2022. Journalist Barbara Bradley Hagerty spent years immersed in Spencer's case. She combed police files and court records, interviewed dozens of witnesses, and had extensive conversations with Spencer. In Bringing Ben Home, she weaves together two narratives: how an innocent Black man got caught up in and couldn't escape a legal system that refused to admit its mistakes; and what Texas and other states are doing to address wrongful convictions to make the legal process more equitable for everyone"--

The Northern European countries are stable democracies; they are regarded as classic consensus democracies and the Scandinavian welfare model is much admired. What is the basis for these judgements? How do the political systems of the three monarchies of Denmark, Sweden and Norway, the two republics of Finland and Iceland, the autonomous territories of Greenland, the Faroe Islands, the Åland Islands and the institutions of the Sápmi region work? This study focuses on parliamentarism, elections, parties, governments, administrations, legal systems and the countries' cultural and historical roots. It is aimed at students of the social sciences as well as teachers and all those interested in Northern European politics and society.

Bernd Henningsen is em. Professor for Culture and Politics of Northern Europe and Honorary Professor at the Humboldt-University Berlin, Germany.

The political systems of Northern Europe

If justice is blind, what guides her steps?

Is justice, like beauty, in the eye of the beholder? Are there objective criteria we can apply and if so, to which do we give more weight? What is more important, a fair result or a fair process? What is the relationship between law and justice? How do the stories we tell both reflect and affect our perceptions of justice. 

Using works of literature, scenes from films, and actual cases as springboards for reflection and debate, Perceptions of Justice seeks answers to such questions, offering readers an opportunity to understand how they determine what is fair and just, and why others may see it differently.
