An Inventory of Early Chancery
Proceedings

An Inventory of Early Chancery Proceedings

This book explores human vulnerability through the lens of natural law theory. Beginning with a detailed examination of natural law ethics, centred upon the virtues (Part One), it sets out the relationship between natural law and human vulnerability. To be human is to be vulnerable; but vulnerability must itself be understood by reference to the human goods that are the central concern of natural law ethics. Such goods lie at the heart of what it means to lead a flourishing life, but they are in no way certain: goods such as health, education, the family can all be perverted or taken away by human agency or the vicissitudes of life. Part Two poses the problem of how human beings and government can build resilience in the face of these vulnerabilities. Its main contention is that the central aims of vulnerability theory, including that of state responsiveness, are pre-figured in the social teachings of the Catholic Church. These teachings provide a compelling basis for the demand that the state be more responsive to social scourges such as poverty, crime, debt and dependency. Vulnerability theorists will benefit from a new perspective on the problems that are central to their analysis; natural law theorists will profit by an enrichment and extension of their central concerns.

Natural Law, Ethics and Human Vulnerability

Die juristische Methode und ihre Kritik können auf eine lange Geschichte zurückblicken. Einen Meilenstein bildet der sogenannte "Methodenstreit", der um die Frage kreist, was geschieht, wenn in der Rechtspraxis Urteile gefällt werden? Die Antwort lautet: Es entscheiden nicht nur Texte, sondern auch das Rechtsgefühl, da Juristen Menschen sind. Herausforderungen wie Künstliche Intelligenz verdeutlichen die Grenzen mechanistischer Ansätze, da KI keinen Leib hat, keine Gefühle kennt und ihre Entscheidungen oft undurchsichtig bleiben. Angesichts dieser Defizite wird die klassische Methode, soweit sie an den Erfordernissen von Transparenz, Kohärenz, menschlicher Erfahrung und juristischer Überzeugungskraft festhält, auch im Zeitalter der Digitalisierung eine Zukunft haben.

Zur Geschichte ihrer Kritik und den Aussichten auf eine Rehabilitation im 21. Jahrhundert

Human Rights Law in Perspective

This book offers an analysis of how the European Court of Human Rights engages with identity and emotion, revealing both the promise and the limitations of human rights law in addressing the complexities of human experience. The book explores how human rights law, often framed as universal and abstract, responds to deeply personal questions of identity, belonging, and emotional impact. Based on a systematic study of over 3,300 judgments, the book shows how the European Court of Human Rights has increasingly made identity central to its reasoning - particularly in cases involving sexuality, ethnicity, and family life. In these areas, the Court acknowledges how state actions shape emotions such as fear, humiliation, and dignity. Yet, in other domains - migration, religion, professional life - the Court avoids emotional engagement, leading to troubling inconsistencies. The book argues that when emotions are excluded from legal reasoning, individuals are reduced to formal entities, stripped of depth and interiority. Combining doctrinal analysis with insights from social theory and psychology, the book presents a new framework for understanding how emotions and identity interact with law. It traces the evolution of identity references across categories and highlights the Court's uneven treatment of emotional harm. This timely and original contribution speaks to legal scholars, practitioners, and theorists interested in human rights, identity politics, and the emotional dimensions of law. It calls for a more responsive and empathetic human rights jurisprudence - one that reflects the lived realities of those it seeks to protect.

Fundamental Rights for Non-Humans

This book investigates the privately negotiated financial arrangements made by divorcing couples where no legal advice or financial orders were sought. It calls for a re-evaluation of the assumptions of autonomy and agency held by policy makers and adds to the debates around the role and purpose of family law in England and Wales. Drawing on interviews with divorced military wives, the book provides a case study of the operation of current family law principles and values in a context where highly gendered familial roles are a key feature. It provides fresh insight into the challenges presented by neoliberal understandings of autonomy and agency, which presume that individuals have freely chosen to organise their lives in a way that creates dependency and financial precarity. It adopts a socio-legal framework to examine how the interpersonal dynamics established during marriage influence financial decision-making. The book argues that there are important lessons to be learned from military wives, shedding light on the highly gendered patterns of behaviour within military families which are replicated in the wider population. It advocates the importance of recognising the many factors that limit autonomy and agency during marriage and that are not mitigated against in the family justice system, which instead permits - and encourages - unfair and unequal financial arrangements to be made. This book is essential reading for lawyers, students of family law, and policy makers.

Critical Race Theory

Originalism Is Racism interrogates America's unhealthy obsession with its founding generation by challenging the ascendancy of originalism as the preferred method of constitutional interpretation--both among the justices of the Supreme Court and for significant portions of the American public. The book argues that interpreting the Constitution in accordance with the original intentions or understandings of the founding generation necessarily enshrines and exacerbates racial inequality. For one, originalism perpetuates white supremacy by rejecting the equal human dignity of Black people and other racialized groups and denying them the opportunity to participate in public life on equal terms. It also undermines the abolition of racial oppression by subjecting Black, Brown, and Indigenous people to increased risks of violence and death. In a word, originalism is racism.

Originalism Is Racism: Volume 2

Hart Studies in Private Law

This book undertakes a unique enquiry into the puzzling doctrine of undisclosed agency. Following an introduction to the doctrine and those issues that its conceptual uncertainty poses for commerce, it then charts a course through the core categories of obligations: contract, equity, tort, and unjust enrichment. In each case, various theses are explored in detail in order to identify the most robust, compelling, and commercially-appropriate rationalisation of undisclosed agency. It brings much needed clarity to a complex field of private and commercial law.

Rationalising Undisclosed Agency

This book discusses the 'theory of dematerialised property', a constructivist property theory that applies to tangible and intangible property alike. It explains the way in which this theory regards 'property' as a creation of the law, whereby the property object (res) is a normative conception brought into existence by the property rights in it, and an actual corporeal thing is merely a practical incidence of the abstract-normative idea of the property object. The discussion of dematerialised property is founded on a theoretical examination of definitions, terminologies and concepts of property, particularly ownership and possession, and restricted real rights, as well as a comparative law overview of concepts of ownership and the acquisition and transfer of property rights in the different Common law and Civil law property systems. The concept of dematerialised property serves as a good theoretical basis for explaining and defining forms of tangible and particularly intangible property, like debts, money and shares, and modern forms of property, such as electronic money, non-fungible tokens or data. The book also features the ideas of property theorists in law and in political philosophy, such as the classical theories by Grotius, Pufendorf, Locke and Hegel, and it revisits modern legal theories of property. It then deals with economic, sociological and psychological dimensions of property which are behind the legal concept of property, aspects that are generally disregarded in traditional texts on property theory.
