Bajon P: Informal Decision Making in the
European Community Under the Luxembourg

Informal Decision Making in the European Community Under the Luxembourg Compromise

The Law That Never Was

Gaskell and the Law

This book explores how trial lawyers, driven by self-interest, use argumentation to shape legal and ethical ideals in society through their manipulation of language, people, and objects. It argues that by employing various persuasive styles and deceptive strategies, lawyers influence juries and affect broader legal and communal values. These individual actions, while focused on client interests, collectively contribute to significant social changes in the practice and perception of law.

Etiology, Elements, and Effects

A Natural History of Legal Argument

The history of equity takes in questions of philosophy, theology, jurisprudence and legal history. When we speak of 'equity', do we mean Aristotelian epieikeia, civilian aequitas, a theological or juridical conscience, the common law concept of the 'equity of the statute', or merely the rules applied by the Court of Chancery before 1875? The purpose of this volume is to chart the evolution of equity in English legal history from the medieval period to the present day. Whether by investigating the historical foundations of the modern law, the jurisprudential underpinnings of the equitable jurisdiction, or the socio-political context of discrete legal developments, this collection exposes the strands of thought which 'equity' comprises and the mechanisms by which its rules evolved.

Landmark Cases

This book presents the landmark cases in company law which have shaped and defined the field and is written by leading experts in the field.

Landmark Cases in Company Law

Europeanization and Globalization

The regulation of sovereign debts raises many complex economic and legal questions. The primary objective of this volume is to focus on the possible legal solutions for the challenges facing the insolvent states. Finding a way out of the sovereign debt crisis requires not only economic considerations, but it implies also a better understanding of the rage of different social and ethical aspects associated with this problem.

Possible Legal Solutions

Sovereign Insolvency

This book provides a fresh and original approach to the critical and contextual appreciation of Roman law and culture. The great 'codes', such as those of Theodosius and Justinian, have rightly assumed a canonical status in the reception of Roman law. But they are not the only sources of this law. Law finds various expression in any culture, in essays, treatises, and testaments, plays, poems and novels. This book investigates this 'other' writing of Roman law. In the process it introduces the reader to a variety of Roman orators, poets and political writers, from Cicero and Seneca to Ovid and Apuleius, Plautus and Pliny. It also introduces the reader to a variety of areas of Roman law, from matters of governance and public philosophy to the politics of family and sexuality, the regulation of religion, the proscription of sorcery and the protection of the consumer. And finally, it introduces the reader to all of the peculiarities of Roman law too, the kind with which the past always teases the present. Why did Cicero's tongue end up nailed to a board in the forum in Rome? What role did Seneca play in the murder of Nero's mother? What did Ovid see, and why did it earn the wrath of his emperor? What magic did the orator Apuleius possess, and how did he use it? And what does the spread of Christianity owe to the younger Pliny? These are just a few of the collateral questions which the reader is invited to ponder in this fresh and exciting engagement with one of the most intriguing, and influential, legal systems in world history.

Law, Literature, and the Romans

Die Verzahnung des Verfassungsrechts mit dem internationalen und supranationalen Recht gewinnt zunehmend an Bedeutung. Im Europarecht sind dessen Grundzüge daher als Pflichtstoff eingestuft. Das Lehrbuch behandelt lern- und praxisgerecht die Schnittstellen zwischen Verfassungsrecht und Völkerrecht/Europarecht, speziell die verfassungsrechtlichen Grundlagen der Einbindung Deutschlands in die Völkerrechtsgemeinschaft. Im Mittelpunkt stehen aktuelle Fragen wie Gewaltverbot, Interventionspolitik und Friedenspflicht, internationale Strafgerichtsbarkeit. Eine Übersicht über besonders prüfungsrelevante Bezugsmaterien ergänzt den Stoff.

Anthropology, Law, and Political Morals

Some Versions of Legalism

This edited collection investigates the religious roots of marriage and divorce in Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox nations across Europe and shows how their laws have evolved and diverged, from 1700 through to the present day. The eighteenth century was a pivotal period for the rules governing marriage and divorce, with the authority to establish and adjudicate on them shifting from church to state. The Formation and Dissolution of Marriage, Religious Roots, and Diverging Histories evaluates these historical developments, paying particular attention to the waxing or waning influence of religious institutions, values, and norms, and asking what other proposals for reform might have been on the agenda. As Volume 1 of A History of Family Law in Europe, this book examines how, and to what extent, marriage and divorce are regulated in the written texts of Europe's various religious traditions. The contributors analyse each system's teachings on marriage formation, marital impediments, and dissolubility, including ideas on the socially binding character of those precepts. Jurisdiction-specific chapters focusing on countries across Northern, Central, Southern, and Eastern Europe explore the regulation of marriage formation and dissolution in the context of religion and other cultural influences. The Formation and Dissolution of Marriage, Religious Roots, and Diverging Histories brings together the insights of an international team of leading marriage-law scholars from across Europe, and is a significant resource for scholars of family law, legal history, and the history of religion.

The Formation and Dissolution of Marriage, Religious Roots, and Diverging Histories

A History of Family Law in Europe, Volume 1

This book explores the fascinating backstories and unexpected sequels of bigamous marriages from the 17th century to the present day. A woman remarries after hearing that her husband has drowned, only for him to turn up alive and well. Is she now a criminal? A deserted husband, unable to afford a divorce, finds happiness in a new union. How many did the same? A conman advertises for a wife and then disappears with her lifesavings; he has already done the same to many other women. How was he brought to justice? These are just a few of the hundreds of bigamous remarriages put under the microscope in Double Lives. As a companion volume to Double Trouble: Bigamy and the Law in England and Wales, 1604-2024, this book goes behind the law reports to reconstruct the stories of those involved. Drawing on archival sources, pamphlets, newspapers, census data, parish registers, divorce petitions and family histories, it shows the different forms that bigamy might take - accidental, consensual, deceptive or exploitative - and how bigamists' stories in turn helped to shape the law. Double Lives shows how bigamy should not be dismissed as a comical or victimless crime. Every case had its own complex mix of desire and deception, and, all too often, heartbreak for someone.

Double Lives

This collection explores the relationship between race, racism, and human rights law. It seeks to illuminate, in particular, how the European Court of Human Rights articulates the category of race, how human rights are experienced (differently) by racial minorities, and whether the European Convention on Human Rights has the tools to recognise and address racial harms. By centring race, it considers how Convention rights would look through the lens of race and ultimately interrogates if human rights law is part of the solution or part of the problem. In pursuing these inquiries, the collection brings together two fields of scholarship that have largely developed independently of each other, namely law and race, and European human rights law. Drawing upon rich expertise from theorists and human rights scholars, it is the first of its kind to systematically analyse race and racism in relation to a wide range of themes in European human rights law, including state violence, terrorism, privacy, protest, migration, hate speech, religion, domestic abuse, reproductive freedom, medicine, education, and climate change.
