Maine H: Ancient Law

Ancient Law

MURDER ON BREWSTER FLATS is set in the mid-1990s on Cape Cod, with several side trips to its islands, the West Indies, and a delightful detour to the South of France, as defense lawyer William "Boston Billy" O'Neill chases evidence to acquit a local character charged with murdering a prominent businessman with a dark past and associations with organized and disorganized crime members who imported and sold large quantities of cocaine. From the discovery of a body wrapped in chains and an anchor at the low-water mark on Brewster Flats to a jury returning a verdict at the venerable Barnstable Courthouse, the reader will be entertained by the fast-moving plot and familiar waypoints on the Cape peninsula.

MURDER ON BREWSTER FLATS

Le droit de la concurrence, dans un territoire insulaire aux marchés étroits, aux équilibres fragiles et aux interdépendances fortes, n'est pas une abstraction importée : il est devenu un instrument structurant de la vie économique polynésienne. Bien appliqué, ce droit protège l'initiative sans l'étouffer, stimule la dynamique entrepreneuriale sans nier les réalités locales, et contribue à lutter contre la cherté de la vie tout en préservant la cohésion sociale.Ce guide propose une lecture opérationnelle du droit de la concurrence en Polynésie française. Il en expose les fondements, les mécanismes et les outils, en les confrontant aux situations concrètes rencontrées par les entreprises, les institutions et les praticiens du Pays. Nourri de retours d'expérience, de cas pratiques et d'analyses contextualisées, l'ouvrage éclaire les choix de régulation propres aux petits marchés insulaires, sans jamais les isoler des grandes dynamiques régionales et internationales.
Pensé comme un outil de compréhension et de décision, ce livre s'adresse à celles et ceux qui font l'économie polynésienne au quotidien - chefs d'entreprise, décideurs publics, juristes, universitaires, consommateurs - et à tous ceux qui considèrent que la concurrence, loin d'être une contrainte, est un levier de confiance, d'équilibre et de prospérité durable pour la Polynésie française.

Guide du droit polynésien de la concurrence

This book presents a new perspective on the debate around legitimacy, politics and constitutional law in Supreme Courts. Moving away from the troubling perception that Supreme Courts are trampling on the wrong side of the law/politics divide, it accepts and defends the critical claim that constitutional law is intrinsically and inescapably politics: in style, substance and outcome. It explains what is involved in that claim and recommends a more nuanced and compelling account than it is caricatured to be. The book proceeds to demonstrate how the legal and judicial process can proceed if the law-is-politics critique is taken seriously. Insisting that it cannot be business as usual, the author offers a series of constructive proposals about how constitutional law and judicial decision-making can continue in anything like their present format and style. Recognising that a more radical approach could be taken to the way in which democracy might re-organise, the book runs with the idea that it is possible to incorporate and accommodate the law-is-politics argument within a governmental system of constitutional democracy that resembles closely what now occurs. In that sense, the book is both critical and constructive as well as principled and pragmatic.

Courts, Constitutions and Politics

Rethinking Legitimacy

This book analyses the tendency in international law scholarship and criticism to seek a 'new' international law. Drawing and building on scholarship around the political significance of theological ideas, it argues that underlying this tendency is a relationship between international law and messianic thinking.

The 'New' International Law

Legal Regulation of AI and Sex Discrimination in Employment

Fifty years after Alan Watson's Legal Transplants: An Approach to Comparative Law, the concept of legal transplants remains central to comparative legal scholarship. Over time, the literature has expanded to explore how laws are drafted, interpreted, and understood across jurisdictions-revealing legal transplants as a complex and multifaceted phenomenon. This book offers a nuanced and balanced analysis of the evolution of legal transplants, engaging with both foundational texts and recent developments. It goes beyond traditional legal discourse to incorporate insights from other disciplines, including policy studies, cultural transfer, entangled history, and the diffusion of ideas. By doing so, it broadens the scope of the debate and encourages a more interdisciplinary approach to understanding how legal norms travel and take root. Importantly, the book makes a strong case for the continued relevance and effectiveness of legal transplants in modern lawmaking. While acknowledging valid criticisms, it challenges the notion that such concerns should lead to legal isolationism. Instead, it argues that legal transplants are not only common but often successful-and should remain a key tool for lawmakers seeking to innovate and reform.

This open access book offers a unique perspective on the return of cultural objects by considering the aftermath of the handover processes. While calls for the repatriation of heritage have been made since the start of the decolonisation process, it is only in recent years that the debate on returning cultural objects has gained widespread prominence. This has been followed by ongoing efforts from several countries to change the legislation, adopt principles, and invest in provenance research to turn repatriation into a more proactive mechanism. The book tells the story of cultural objects that were housed in European institutions and returned to countries in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. In addition to in-depth analysis of relevant laws and policies, each of the case studies integrates interviews with those who were directly involved in those return processes, as well as those who were impacted by them, including museum staff, government representatives and community members. The book presents previously unheard insights into past return processes, the manifold modalities that such processes have followed, and, at times, unexpected outcomes. By doing so, it offers possible lessons to be learnt for future returns. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the Leverhulme Trust.

Exploring the Stories of Cultural Objects After their Return

Beyond Restitution

This book discusses some of the most important issues facing administrative law and related doctrines. Leading public law scholars from across the common law world have contributed chapters to recognise the exceptional scholarship and career of Matthew Groves, Distinguished Professor at Deakin University, Australia. Over the last century, the power of the administrative state has grown immensely and the scope of administrative law as a field of inquiry has grown with it. This collection of essays provides an up-to-date analysis of some of the most important issues in administrative law in the 2020s, including: access to justice issues; the role, purpose and future of ombuds institutions and tribunals; government liability within and beyond judicial review; integrity bodies; 'lawfare'; the role of policies in government decisionmaking; and the tension between military and civilian systems of justice. These topics have been central to the work and career of Matthew Groves. Readers interested in public law - whether practitioners, researchers or students - will discover a wealth of engaging and thought-provoking considerations of the most topical current issues in administrative law by a selection of prominent academics.

Controlling the Administrative State

Lex Amicitia draws a long history of the law of friendship - from Aristotle to Derrida - into a contemporary context: scouring the backrooms, bars and ill-lit alcoves, the corridors and side-rooms where the interior engine of institutional decisions operates. The intimate public sphere is fueled by the affects of amity and enmity, identification and rejection, experience and projection in negotiating and deciding the fate of workaday lives. Using the example of law, and specifically of the legal academy in the Anglophone world, this book pieces together the hidden ties and the secret bondings, the erotics and the hostilities that play beneath the surface of public lives. Patiently reconstructing the apparitions of affect and amity as they are glimpsed in marginal moments and off-hours, peripheries and slips, emails and other unintended viscera, the structural role of the laws of friendship, the legal form of compact, concord and contract is reconstructed and expounded.

Lex Amicitia: An Anthropology of the Law of Amity

This book explores the use of Third-Party Funding in Investor-State Dispute Settlement, a transformative yet controversial instrument that implicates procedural fairness, commodification of justice, public interest and state sovereignty in investment law. It will be useful to researchers of international arbitration and investment law.

The Psychology of Money
The Psychology of Money: Unveiling the Secrets of Financial Behavior by Dr. Maxwell Shimba is not a conventional personal finance manual promising get-rich-quick schemes or secret stock tips. Rather, it is a profound interdisciplinary excavation of the human relationship with money, drawing from behavioral economics, neuroscience, clinical psychology, sociology, and philosophy. The book's central thesis is revolutionary yet simple: money is fundamentally a psychological artifact, a vessel into which we pour our deepest fears, hopes, identities, and narratives. Every financial decision-from the mundane morning coffee purchase to the monumental retirement portfolio allocation-is a window into our internal world, shaped by childhood imprints, cultural conditioning, and ancient neural wiring. Dr. Shimba systematically dismantles the myth of Homo economicus, the perfectly rational actor, and replaces it with a far more complex and compassionate portrait of the human being navigating an increasingly complex financial landscape.
The book is structured as an expedition through ten interconnected territories of financial psychology, beginning with the foundational architecture of the money mindset. Dr. Shimba guides readers through an archaeological dig of their earliest money memories, the cognitive biases that systematically distort judgment, and the emotional underpinnings-fear, greed, regret, shame-that often override our best intentions. The work is grounded in rigorous scholarship, from Kahneman and Tversky's Prospect Theory to the neuroscientific mapping of the brain on money, yet it remains intensely practical. Each chapter builds upon the last, moving from individual psychology into the powerful currents of social influence, the intricate dance between money and meaning, and the psychological preparation required for life's great transitions: marriage, parenthood, career volatility, and retirement. The twenty-year case study contrasting Michael's scarcity mindset with David's abundance orientation serves as a haunting, instructive parable of how internal architecture shapes external destiny.
What distinguishes this work from other books on financial psychology is its unflinching engagement with the frontiers of our moment. Dr. Shimba devotes substantial attention to the digital transformation of money-the algorithmic agents now co-piloting our investment decisions, the frictionless interfaces that have anesthetized the "pain of paying," the ethical quagmires of fintech dark patterns and algorithmic bias, and the psychological challenges of the gig economy and cryptocurrency speculation. Yet the book never succumbs to technological determinism or Luddite nostalgia. Instead, it charts a third path: the way of the Integrator, who possesses dual citizenship in both the Digital Republic of algorithmic fluency and the Republic of Inner Experience, where timeless human values reside. The future of money psychology, Dr. Shimba argues, is not a prediction but a practice-the daily, disciplined integration of the Technologist and the Philosopher-Psychologist.

The Psychology of Money - WORKBOOK

Constitutionalism in Asia

This book presents an in-depth interrogation of the theory and application of the Basic Structure Doctrine in the Federation of Malaysia. The Basic Structure Doctrine, famously introduced in the 1973 Indian Supreme decision of Kesavananda Bharati v State of Kerala AIR - which held that certain core or fundamental features in the Constitution of India could not be amended by Parliament even if it met all procedural requirements - was initially rejected when it was first argued in Malaysia in the 1975 case of Loh Kooi Choon v Government of Malaysia and lay dormant for the next three decades. Judicial winds shifted in 2010 when Malaysia's apex court, the Federal Court, cited Kesavananda with approval in the case of Sivarasa Rasiah v Badan Peguam Malaysia &amp; Anor, and observed that it was 'clear from the way in which the Federal Constitution is constructed that there are certain features that constitute its basic fabric' and that 'any statute (including one amending the Constitution) that offends the basic structure may be struck down as unconstitutional.' In a quick succession of cases, the Federal Court cemented this doctrine in Malaysia's jurisprudence and deployed it to defend the court's judicial power. These widely-publicised cases generated much debate beyond the legal fraternity and judiciary and often polarised different sectors of Malaysian society. This collection of essays responds to this extremely important debate on the limits of constitutional amendments as a form of constitution-making in Malaysia by considering the theory behind the Basic Structure Doctrine and critically examining how it has been harnessed by the Federal Court and by other political actors - most notably Islamists and secularists; and royalists and republicans - on the ground.
