Criminal Law

This open access book offersa cultural history of lawsuits that traces the development of French performance rights from la Belle Époque, throughthe Roaring Twenties, and into thePost-War period. It does so by analysing the ways in which performers, composers, and playwrights took to French courtrooms, sought attention in mass media, and participated in political debates to claim their rights to create and control musical and theatrical performance. In 19th-century France, composers and playwrights organised in member-run societies that successfully used authors' rights legislation to curb the power of theatre managers. By the turn of the 20th century, these so-called collective management organisations had transformed French cultural industries by building out structures of royalty collection and improving litigation practices. From the café-concert culture in 19th-century Montmartre and the rise of modern celebrity culture, to mass media and radio entertainment, the book traces precedent-setting litigation that defined who creates and controls performance. The book challenges previous narratives that centre the individualisation of authors in the expansion of the international copyright regime while neglecting performers. Instead, it reveals the ways in which the personality and individuality of performers have played a constitutive role in discourses about genius, technology, and legal categories. Performance as Intellectual Property is for anyone interested in the emergence of modern European cultural industries and the relationships between intellectual property systems, creativity, and art.

Landmark Cases

Part of the iconic Landmark Cases series, this book brings the most significant cases in charity law together for the first time. More than four hundred years have passed since the Statute of Charitable Uses of 1601, whose Preamble set out a list of charitable purposes which has formed the basis of the modern legal definition of charity. This book explores the substantial body of judge-made rules and principles developed since then, highlighting a carefully curated selection of the landmark cases which have shaped charity law. Each chapter analyses one or more judicial decisions, setting them in their historical context, explaining their contemporary importance, and considering their future relevance. The selected cases cover a broad range of topics. Some go to the heart of what it means to be a charity, elucidating charity's legal definition and public benefit requirement. Others demonstrate how charity law has been shaped by its interaction with other bodies of law, including trust law, company law and equality law, and by emerging tensions between trustees' overriding duty to further the charity's purposes and broader moral obligations or ethical considerations. The book has a core focus on English precedents, but the cases are touchstones in many jurisdictions. Our contributors therefore include scholars, judges and practitioners from Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Singapore, as well as from the UK. The result is a book that sheds new light on the application and development of charity law's defining rules and principles across the common law world.

Studies in Australian Law, Politics and History

This book lays out a roadmap for establishing common law recognition of Aboriginal customary law in Australia. Currently, Aboriginal customary law is recognised in limited circumstances through native title, which applies only to rights and interests over traditional lands or waters. This book argues that, if a carefully constructed claim is accepted by an Australian Court, Aboriginal customary law could potentially be recognised across a wide range of legal areas, including criminal law, family law, succession, environmental law, and criminal procedure. Importantly, this would also afford legal recognition to organic Indigenous governance structures. It also proposes a roadmap for establishing a hybrid equitable-constitutional fiduciary obligation that the Crown would owe Indigenous Australians. This could provide valuable protections to Indigenous rights and societies from impositions made by legislatures and executives purporting to exercise powers under the 
 Australian Constitution. Distinctive in its approach, this volume is among the first post-2020 works to explore a common law pathway for recognising and furthering the rights of Indigenous societies, governance systems, and legal frameworks, at a time when most scholarship has focused on express constitutional recognition or recognition via treaties and agreements (notably in Victoria).
 The book builds on the landmark High Court decision in 
 Love v Commonwealth 
 (2020), where the Court recognised that Aboriginal Australians, owing to their enduring connection to country, could not be considered ‘aliens’ under the 
 Constitution
 . While 
 Love 
 initially addressed alienage and constitutional protections, this work argues that its reasoning opens the door to broader common law recognition of Indigenous Australians’ rights, laws, and governance structures, beyond the scope of native title.
 Through careful legal analysis and a proposed claims framework, this book contributes to an emergent body of scholarship exploring the legal consequences of recognizing Aboriginal Australians’ enduring connection to country, offering a path toward meaningful expansion of Indigenous legal recognition in Australia, and bringing Australian law closer to the more progressive Indigenous rights doctrines of common law North America.

Literatures, Cultures, Translation

Interpreting The Amistad Trials traces the signal importance of interpreters and translators in the famous 19th-century Amistad case and discusses how race, ethnicity, slavery, and colonialism shaped this story. From the recruitment process to the various oral to sign languages that mediated linguistically in the Africans' life inside and outside the courtroom, and from evidentiary documents to fraudulent translations to credible testimonies, Jeanette Zaragoza-De León demonstrates the crucial importance of translation and interpretation in the Amistad plot and outcome. De León examines handwritten letters, pamphlets, newspapers, and judicial files, and adopts a critical race theory and postcolonial lens to analyze these materials. Although these critical interpretations and translations travelled transatlantically via Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, and the United States, De León highlights the common thread which also geographically unites Venezuela, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic as part of the Amistad story. One of the most comprehensive studies of recorded events in the history of interpretation and translation in the Americas, Interpreting The Amistad Trials is a valuable resource for researchers studying coloniality, enslavement, race and ethnic studies and examining how these issues mattered then and now.

How Interpreters and Translators Make and Shape History

Interpreting the Amistad Trials

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 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

Constitutionalism in Latin America and the Caribbean

This book offers the first in-depth analysis in English of the practical dynamics of the constitutional recognition of Indigenous justice and legal pluralism in Bolivia. The 2009 Bolivian Constitution was an extraordinary attempt to wrestle the notion of the nation-state away from its European origins to imagine a new form of statehood that fully embeds Indigeneity. This turn to plurinational constitutionalism, in which Indigenous peoples and their traditions are taken to constitute one of the central pillars of the state, recognised Indigenous justice as wholly autonomous from and equal to 'ordinary' justice. The book unpacks what plurinationality stands for in this context, whether it truly brought about the transformation of social relations, and whether plurinational constitutionalism could be a viable model for other states. It showcases the many interesting and innovative aspects of the Bolivian model, which could be adapted by other countries aiming to implement the right to self-determination of Indigenous peoples more fully. At the same time, the promise of Indigenous justice and plurinational constitutionalism in Bolivia remains partially unfulfilled, for reasons that reflect a combination of local challenges and tensions inherent to the concept of plurinationalism. This book will be of interest to academics, students, practitioners and policymakers working in comparative constitutional law, Latin American studies, legal anthropology, Indigenous studies, and legal pluralism. It suggests a path for reimagining notions such as the rule of law and sovereignty as foundations for a society truer to Indigenous peoples and, more generally, to all its citizens.

Indigenous Justice in Bolivia and the Limits of Plurinational Constitutionalism

This Palgrave Pivot offers a groundbreaking reassessment of the concept of slavery in the Bible. Taking an interdisciplinary perspective, it interweaves historical semantics with an analysis of language to argue that slavery as it is primarily understood today – as a legal institution which reduced individuals involuntarily to the status of property - was not legitimized by biblical doctrine.
 The book presents a concise, accessible argument, focused around the translation of the Bible into English and the use of the language of slavery. The term ‘slavery’, emerging in the sixteenth century, was at first used to identify a condition of dishonour, as well as a system of forced labour, and it was only in the seventeenth century that it came to be equated with the Roman institution of 
 servitus
 , and in the eighteenth with the ownership of people as property. As a result, and uniquely among studies of slavery in the Bible, this book does not seek to engage in debates about whether or not the Bible supported slavery, claiming the premise itself is mistaken. The idea that slavery was an ancient legal institution that reduced individuals involuntarily to the status of property is a product of modernity.
 This book has far-reaching implications for a range of disciplines including economic and legal history and biblical scholarship as well as slavery studies.Judith M. Spicksley
