How the Supreme Court Ignored the Constitution and Enabled Mass Incarceration

The Law That Never Was

Informal Decision Making in the European Community Under the Luxembourg Compromise

Modern Studies in European Law

This book argues that the European Convention of Human Rights enshrines a right to freedom from violence, obliging states to anticipate and address risks of serious violence in all forms. It shows how that obligation has two elements. Firstly, states must respond to specific threats. Secondly, they must implement systemic measures to address more general risks of violence. It goes on to show how jurisprudence in the field has developed this flexible and comprehensive model, addressing the particular challenges violence presents. This new understanding, expertly set out in this study, provides a coherent framework for considering both existing controversies and future developments.

The ECHR Obligation to Avert Risks of Violence

Juristische Examensklausuren

Die Fallsammlung präsentiert 16 Klausuren aus den examensrelevanten Gebieten der Grundrechte und des Staatsorganisationsrechts. Einfacher gehaltene Fallgestaltungen wechseln mit Fällen von hohem und sehr hohem Niveau und geben sowohl Anfängern und mittleren Semestern als auch Examenskandidaten hervorragende Übungsmöglichkeiten für den kleinen öffentlichen Schein und das Examen. Die methodische Behandlung der Fälle geht dabei in besonderer Weise auf die Bedürfnisse der Studierenden ein: Wie in der realen Klausur- und Prüfungssituation werden Vorüberlegungen, allgemeine Aufbaufragen und klausurtaktische Erwägungen in den gedanklichen Lösungsprozess einbezogen und in einer eigenen Druckspalte parallel zu den einzelnen Schritten der eigentlichen Klausurlösung dargestellt. Die Neuauflage trägt den durch die Föderalismus-Reform eingetretenen Änderungen des GG umfassend Rechnung. Die Einwirkung des Gemeinschaftsrechts auf das GG findet durchgehend Berücksichtigung.

Structural Principles of EU Law

Eine Dokumentensammlung nebst Einführungen, 7. Band: Hessen-Homburg, Hohenzollern-Hechingen und -Sigmaringen, Kurhessen sowie Liechtenstein

Deutsches Verfassungsrecht 1806 - 1918

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

Key Ideas in Law

This book provides an account of the most important and controversial aspects of the principle of legality in the United Kingdom. The principle of legality describes a method of statutory interpretation that empowers courts to prevent fundamental common law values from being overridden by unclear legislation. However, it makes more sense to think of multiple principles of legality, rather than a single concept. The book provides a fresh and detailed perspective on a controversial aspect of the common law. It will be useful for students of law and politics, legal practitioners and scholars. It explores the many complexities surrounding the historical origins, fields of application, mode of operation, and subject matter of the principle of legality. Despite its long history, the term 'principle of legality' only began to be used in public law cases towards the end of the twentieth century. More recently, judicial references to the principle of legality in high profile constitutional law cases have fuelled broader concerns about judicial overreach. The book argues that these concerns are unfounded, and deeper principles of legality are required.

Key Ideas in Law: The Principle of Legality

This book is a comparative study of how courts and oversight bodies review lawmaking processes, exposing democratic deficits and advocating for transparent, participatory legislative reform across Europe. In an era of fast-track legislation and executive overreach, the democratic legitimacy of lawmaking is under increasing pressure. This timely and original volume offers the first comprehensive, comparative analysis of how judicial and non-judicial bodies monitor and assess legislative procedures across Europe and beyond. Drawing on examples from Hungary, France, and the United States, the book highlights troubling trends - such as the use of expedited processes, exclusion of opposition voices, and lack of public participation - that undermine democratic principles and good governance. Contributors examine how courts, parliamentary committees, and international organisations like the Venice Commission respond to these challenges, offering insights into their capacity to uphold constitutional standards and human rights protections. The book also explores the broader implications of defective lawmaking for the rule of law, separation of powers, and the achievement of global goals such as the UN's Sustainable Development Agenda. Featuring leading scholars and practitioners from across Europe, including underrepresented jurisdictions, the volume bridges theory and practice, offering a rich interdisciplinary perspective. It is essential reading for academics, legal professionals, policymakers, and civil society actors concerned with the integrity of democratic institutions and the future of legislative governance. By shedding light on the mechanisms of procedural review, this book makes a compelling case for more transparent, inclusive, and accountable lawmaking in democratic societies.

European Perspectives on the Procedural Review of Parliamentary Lawmaking

Explores pivotal state and federal firearms cases and traces the conflicting legal opinions that have made the second amendment so controversial. One of the most controversial aspects of the U.S. constitution, the Second Amendment continues to divide lawmakers and the general public alike. The Second Amendment has long been the subject of myriad court cases, at both the state and federal levels. In this valuable sourcebook, close examination of these court decisions demystifies the controversy surrounding gun rights and regulations. Chronologically presenting actual court decisions from the early 1800s through the present alongside contextual information and analysis, Donald J. Campbell traces the conflicting legal opinions that have led to our current understanding of the Second Amendment. It highlights the amendment's two major controversies: the individual right versus collective right debate and the incorporation of the Second Amendment by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Chapters also thoroughly examine the most influential Supreme Court Cases that dominate popular discussions of the amendment, such as United States v. Miller, District of Columbia v. Heller, McDonald v. City of Chicago, and NYSRPA v. Bruen.

Code of Federal Regulations, Title 41 Public Contracts and Property Management 101, Revised as of July 1, 2025

This book provides a novel judicial framework for receiving and considering religious and cultural claims in shaping human rights in constitutional secular democracies. It does this through an extended case study of the Indian constitutional jurisprudence. Abortion and surrogacy, LGBTQ + rights, sex work and euthanasia are arguably the most controversial human rights issues of our time. They all invite passionate religious and cultural debate but are not themselves religious or cultural rights issues. Instead, they pose a fundamental constitutional question: How far can religion and culture go in shaping general human rights in secular constitutional democracies? Moving beyond the logic of individual rights, this book provides an integrated and holistic approach to answering this classic question of constitutional law. To do this, it proposes an innovative empirically backed normative-theoretical framework which synthesises insights from cultural psychoanalysis, feminist legal scholarship, socio-legal method, constitutional law, evidence law, and political theory. It looks at a unique constellation of cases belonging to eight different human rights themes covering the period since India's independence in 1947 and systematically analyses the religious and cultural claims made in those cases. It finds that in India, a more holistic approach to answering our classic constitutional puzzle requires a simultaneous consideration of three different theories: A theory of constitutional interpretation which formulates restrictions on a judge considering religious and cultural claims in fundamental rights cases; A theory of judicial notice which determines when such claims can be admitted without proof; A theory of secularism and public reason which argues that the claims must be given weight in the final decision only if they match defensible conceptions of constitutional values. The book develops these theories and applies them to the Indian cases, providing an innovative approach to an age-old question.
