This book explores how both common law and civil law traditions have long devoted extensive attention to&nbsp;litigious facts—those directly related to the parties involved in a dispute. These facts have consistently been central to procedural theories, particularly the theory of evidence.
At the same time, it draws attention to another category of facts that remain largely unexamined by judges and lawyers. Especially in the context of constitutional review and binding precedents, there are facts that do not concern the litigants—or at least not exclusively. These are general facts, connected to social life and the functioning of the world, and they closely resemble&nbsp;legislative facts. Since law presupposes reality and social needs—facts that concern everyone—their presence in constitutional adjudication should not come as a surprise.
The volume&nbsp;introduces the concept of&nbsp;constitutional facts, which emerge when constitutional review moves beyond its normative roots and engages with the lived reality of society. Deciding based on constitutional facts carries a significant democratic dimension.
While the analysis&nbsp;acknowledges that constitutional decisions should remain open to institutional dialog, it also argues that deliberation should not be prematurely closed when constitutional facts—overlooked by the legislature or still under public debate—are brought before the judiciary through legal challenges.
Beyond theory, the work also addresses decision-making strategies that foster institutional dialog around these facts, offering a framework that supports more transparent and participatory constitutional adjudication.

New Challenges, Current Issues and Innovative Approaches

General Theory of Law

This book delves into the core debates of criminal law, examining fundamental principles such as legality, protection of legally protected goods, culpability, and proportionality. It reinterprets these principles through a lens of a Rawlsian theory of justice, proposing them as deontological liberalistic principles of justice. The book explores the influence of enlightenment thought and social contract theory which have sophisticatedly evolved so far on criminal law, suggesting that these principles can be derived from a hypothetical agreement under fair participation conditions.
Covering a wide range of topics, the book addresses human dignity, culpability, and the prohibition of analogy in criminal law interpretation. It engages with classic and ongoing debates, including free will, legal indeterminacy, and the jurisprudential implication of philosophies of Wittgenstein and Gödel. Additionally, it critically examines some theoretical issues, including collective guilt, criminal liability of electronic person, psychopathic offender, and conscientious objectors, as well as such doctrinal issues as mistaken self-defence and criminal complicity. A chapter on the origins of the penal system provides an in-depth account based on ancient Near Eastern customs and the Hammurabi Code, enriched by the latest evolutionary research. This interdisciplinary approach offers a comprehensive understanding of the nature of punishment.
“In this wide-ranging and ambitious work, Seong Jo Ahn introduces criminal lawyers to an extraordinary range of theoretical ideas and perspectives on the criminal law. New light is shed on familiar doctrines and principles, in a way that will become a debating point for years to come.” 
Jeremy Horder—LSE

A Theory of Criminal Law, Volume 1

European Yearbook of International Economic Law

EYIEL Monographs - Studies in European and International Economic Law

This book provides a critical, practically oriented examination of the ethical implications of third-party funding in international arbitration, viewed through the lens of legal ethics and the legitimacy and integrity of arbitral proceedings. It clarifies what constitutes appropriate and inappropriate conduct in third-party funding in international arbitration and provides guidance for arbitrators, lawyers, funders, parties, and policymakers navigating this fast-evolving field. With forward-thinking proposals, this book encourages the development of specialized professional standards and ethical rules for arbitration practitioners within an evolving, shared, self-regulatory ethical ecosystem of international arbitration, while also calling for external regulation of third-party funders’ conduct through both statutory and market-based mechanisms. The timely information contained in this book supports the evolving needs of the international arbitration community and serves as a valuable guide for professionals navigating this changing landscape.
This book combines theoretical underpinnings with practical applications to serve as a resource for researchers, professionals, educators, and students. It provides researchers and arbitration participants with critical insights into the ethical implications of third-party funding in international arbitration, as well as practical guidance, recommendations for ethical standards and rules, and innovative strategies for meeting these challenges.

Masterpieces of Contemporary Jurisprudents in China

This book is the first academic monograph in China to comprehensively examine the concept, principles, and system of civil law from an ethical point of view. Under the background that China has promulgated the Civil Code, it is necessary to analyze the relevant contents of the Civil Code from all aspects, in depth and from various angles. The basic point of view is that China’s Civil Code should not only consider the advanced nature, but also take into account the national character, sublimation, and inheritance, and to meet the needs of modern society and demonstrate the ethical value. This book is highly readable, not only for professional research groups, but also for students and ordinary readers interested in Chinese civil law. This book is designated as a required reading list for law majors in many universities across China and is also published in Taiwan (PRC) and Japan.

An Ethical Analysis of Civil Law

By a process of investigations into origin, development and theoretic foundations of the tort liability&nbsp;based on fairness, this book analyzes the myriads of practical cases to offer deep insights&nbsp;into&nbsp;application rules, grounds for defense, compensation scope and the supplementary role of application, and elucidates theoretic restrictions upon its judicial application, aiming to preclude the tort liability&nbsp;based on fairness from being abused judicially, and establishing China's indigenous theoretical system of tort liability&nbsp;based on fairness.&nbsp;Contained under Civil Code are the orientation and rule adjustment of the liability based on fairness, in the light of which this book recommends the provisions for judicial interpretations of related provisions to&nbsp;“the tort liability based on fairness”&nbsp;under the Code, with the hope to lay references for relevant judicial interpretations to be drawn up by people's courts.

Gender Perspectives in Law

This book offers an intersectional approach to gender-based discrimination and consideration of substantive gender inequalities issues within different fields of law and legal education. Intersectional approach to gender-based discrimination enables a crucial understanding of complexities of power relations that have been embedded in multiple gender-based inequalities within plural identities. The book contributes to the creation, interpretation and implementation of law and public policies from the point of intersecting different power relations within gender-based oppression, and also with taking into consideration the contextualized expressing of the dialectic of patriarchy and emancipation from the local, national, regional, to global/international legal framework. In the ever-evolving landscape of legal scholarship, this book presents a multidisciplinary exploration that intertwines law, gender, intersectionality, and diversity. The book transcends traditional boundaries, inviting readers to traverse the intricate web of legal theory, lived experiences, and social justice imperatives.
