Insights from the European Convention on Human Rights

Human Rights Law in Perspective

Proportionality Under the UK Human Rights Act

Tort law refers to the system of laws governing civil wrongdoing. The bedrock for vital government functions, it is most visible during legal disputes related to common activities, like driving a car and receiving medical care. It's quotidian nature makes tort a useful entry point for assessing Americans' perceptions of today's "post-truth" political landscape. Sensationalized accounts of these encounters with the law reflect broader opinions about the state and each other, across the political spectrum. Conservatives, for example, exaggerate the prevalence of frivolous claims, while liberals describe the role of tort as holding reckless corporations accountable. &nbsp;&nbsp;In this book, the authors map these debates onto the mythology of rugged American individualism, which privileges both stoic self-reliance and standing up to powerful interests. They explore attitudes towards claimants and claims in three policy areas: medical malpractice, auto collisions, and premises liability. <the rugged="" litigant="" deftly="" weaves="" a="" story="" of="" complex="" and="" layered="" preferences="" that="" defy="" conventional="" accounts="" culture="" wars,="" ultimately,="" display="" shocking="" degree="" consensus:="" people="" believe="" litigation="" should="" be="" an="" option="" -="" when="" used="" as="" last="" resort.="" these="" findings="" offer="" novel="" roadmap="" for="" countering="" the="" seemingly="" intractable="" polarization="" in="" today&#39;s="" politics.="" <="" p=""></the>

Central Asia Yearbook on International Law

The PJI Guidelines are grounded in extensive jurisprudence, empirical research, and scholarly analysis, drawing on decisions from international courts and tribunals as well as broader interdisciplinary insights. Anchored on the fundamental right to freedom of expression, the Guidelines conveys guidelines for securing criminal accountability. In doing so, the book addresses cutting edge issues including disinformation, interpretation, social media, and AI propagated inflammatory and hateful speech, among other topics. It proposes 10 Key Guidelines, including an amendment to Article 25(3)(e) to criminalise intentional, direct and public incitement to any atrocity crime under the Rome Statute. Contributors are: Katharina Braun, Juan Manuel Klein, Damla Yasemin Ipek, and Manuel J. Ventura.

If you want to know more about living trusts, this book is here to help. Make Your Living Trust gives you straightforward and easy-to-understand information about how living trusts: <ul> <li>compare to wills</li> <li>pass property to beneficiaries without probate</li> <li>provide for minor children, and</li> <li>help protect against unexpected incapacity.</li> </ul> You might have heard about living trusts and have a general sense that you should make one. But if you're like most people, you're not exactly sure why or how to do it. If this sounds like you, Make Your Living Trust provides the information and support you need to make informed estate planning decisions. For many people, living trusts are a useful tool to keep their property out of probate. This makes a lot of sense because probate often makes the process of wrapping up an estate more complicated and expensive than it needs to be. And there are other reasons to make a living trust -- a living trust allows you to authorize someone to take care of your property in case of incapacity, and (unlike wills) living trusts keep your personal business private. That said, not everyone needs a living trust. Many people need only a will and a durable power of attorney. Others might use those in conjunction with pay-on-death accounts or transfer-on-death deeds. Compared to other estate planning tools, living trusts can be more expensive to create and more complicated to live with. So, you don't want to go through the trouble and expense of making one if you don't need to. Make Your Living Trust helps you think through these and many other trust-related issues. For example, it helps you weigh the pros and cons of making a living trust yourself versus having an attorney draw one up. It also covers questions that might come up as you make a living trust (with or without a lawyer), like: <ul> <li>What types of property work well in a living trust?</li> <li>Can you and your spouse make a living trust together?</li> <li>What is the role of a successor trustee?</li> <li>Who decides when minor children receive their inheritance?</li> <li>How do you transfer property into your living trust?</li> <li>What makes a living trust legal?</li> <li>Where should you store your living trust?</li> <li>Do you have to register your trust or share it with your family?</li> <li>What other estate planning documents might you need?</li> </ul> Make Your Living Trust can help with all of this and more. It will be your steady companion as you learn about wills and trusts and start to craft your estate plan.

How to Find & Understand the Law

Legal Research

This book honours a remarkable legal thinker, David Feldman, whose influence on public law and on multiple generations of legal scholars and practitioners has been profound. It provides a unique set of insights into some of the most topical and enduring questions in public law (broadly conceived), through the reflections of a stellar line-up of contributors on key dimensions of David Feldman's rich body of work. Each chapter constitutes an original and important contribution to the field, taking David Feldman's seminal writings as a starting-point and developing contemporary, distinctive analytical perspectives. Like David Feldman's work itself, the book ranges across - and acknowledges and explores the porous relationships between - constitutional law, administrative law and human rights and civil liberties.

Essays in Honour of David Feldman

The Mosaic of Public Law

For the last thirty years, Eric Francis has covered crime in Vermont, the state with, according to the statistics, the lowest crime rate in the nation. But statistics are statistics and people are people, and Eric, who calls himself the last of the living dinosaurs, is out there day after day reporting on robberies, assaults, car accidents, and the rising tide of drug overdoses due to fentanyl. It's far from quiet in the safest state in the US. Every day brings something new and more often than not strange (in a Vermont way). As recently as six years ago, there would have been other reporters and photographers covering these stories. Now, in the Upper Valley of Vermont and New Hampshire, Eric is the only local journalist on the scene, any scene. This book chronicles the life and times of one of the very last people paying attention to what's really going on in a rural New England that only seems tranquil... Dispatches from individual lives, as they happen: Each short book originates in short confidences recorded by individuals during borrowed moments from their interesting lives. Set amidst some of our most pressing contemporary predicaments and edited by award-winning writers Peter Orner and Laura Lampton Scott, Dispatches captures some of the highs and lows of daily human endurance.
