The Future of Company Law: Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO)

The Existing Legal Wrappers and A New Form Recommendation

Anthem Studies in Law Reform

Scotland does not have a 'law of contract', as most comparable jurisdictions do, but rather - due in large part to the intellectual innovations of Viscount Stair - possesses a unitary 'law of voluntary obligations', of which contracts form but a part. This fact is highly significant, but is frequently overlooked. Indeed, the significance of this has even been overlooked by the Scottish Law Commission, who have recently proposed to significantly reform the 'law of contract' in Scotland by urging the passing of a statute which, among other things, would abolish the so-called 'postal acceptance rule'. This short book takes the view that the proposed reforms are wrongheaded and would be deleterious to the coherence of the Scottish legal framework. To that end, it examines the taxonomy of obligations pioneered by Stair, indicates that the application of that taxonomy to situations such as the process of contracting by distance suggests that there is in fact no 'postal acceptance rule' in this jurisdiction and suggests, in light of this, that reform of 'contracts' and the formation of, in Scotland, is better left to the courts and jurists than to the Scottish Parliament (or, for that matter, Westminster).

This book offers a guide to tree preservation mechanisms for policy makers and researchers concerned with preserving canopy or boosting green infrastructure on private urban land in Australia. It discusses the available mechanisms in Australia (both direct and indirect) and refers to relevant literature on each mechanism, including research on the effectiveness of each mechanism, as well as addressing applicable case law.
Although written from a predominantly legal perspective, this book is designed to assist non-lawyers to better understand the available tree protection mechanisms and how they work (or not) to achieve increased canopy cover, green space or other urban forest improvements on private land.

Over the last two decades, Pakistan has seen major legislative changes in the area of gender-based violence. This book explores the impact and ongoing influence of these changes. A frequent refrain in political and social commentary in Pakistan is that these laws, while transformative on paper, have not translated to actual change in the lives of women and girls because of poor implementation. Through analysis of court cases, data on criminal proceedings, and interviews with activists and survivors, this book demonstrates how the impact of progressive laws is influenced by entrenched social norms and structural flaws in state institutions, especially the criminal justice system. Sara Malkani sheds light on limitations of the formal justice system while showing how law reform can create openings for activists to pursue gender justice.

Melland Schill Studies in International Law

'This book is a masterful argument on the current state of the law of the sea in its geopolitical context from a deeply and widely experienced practitioner and scholar. It goes to the heart of the continuing significance of the law of the sea in maintaining global order, addressing what is at stake for global order in current law of the sea jurisprudence.' &gt;'This book presents a crucial study that confronts the contemporary crisis in international public order. Dr Grant's thorough analysis of jurisprudence offers valuable insights into the role of the dispute settlement system of UNCLOS in a time of public order crisis.' Professor Yoshifumi Tanaka, &gt;Critically examining the intersection of territorial sovereignty and maritime disputes under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), this book questions the prevailing view that adjudicators applying UNCLOS must refuse to exercise jurisdiction over issues of sovereignty. The law of the sea embraces the principle that a state does not change its boundaries with another state by force. This principle is indispensable to modern public order, and it limits the meaning of the term 'sovereignty dispute' for purposes of the law of the sea. This book argues that when parties assert that a sovereignty dispute prevents adjudication of a maritime dispute, adjudicators are competent to determine whether a sovereignty dispute--in fact and in law--exists. Through a detailed analysis of key cases, including those concerning the Chagos Archipelago, the South China Sea, and Russia's annexation of Crimea, the book argues that adjudicators should apply ordinary scrutiny to evidence concerning territorial claims rooted in the use of force but that an exaggerated caution about the supposed limits of their authority has led them in key cases to fail in that basic part of the adjudicator's function. Examining and critiquing the February 2020 Annex VII award in Coastal State Rights, the book suggests that adjudicators would better implement the terms of UNCLOS and serve the legal system at large if they considered decisions of other international organs when these reflect consensus as to findings of fact and that they should also adhere to the standard methods of fact-finding familiar to parties and adjudicators in most legal systems. Timely and thought-provoking, this book invites a fresh look at an enduring problem made all the more urgent by the many uncertainties in present-day geopolitics.

This book examines how "colorblind" policies perpetuate racial bias by masking the structural and systemic roots of inequality. Leland Ware critically examines the persistence of racial inequality in the United States despite landmark legal advancements, arguing that numerous policies obscure the structural forces that sustain segregation and disparity-particularly in education. Through analysis of the strategic use of racially coded political rhetoric and key Supreme Court rulings, Ware demonstrates how race-neutral frameworks often reinforce, rather than remediate, systemic inequity. For legal scholars, educators, sociologists, and political scientists, this work offers a reinterpretation of civil rights jurisprudence, a framework for addressing de facto segregation, and a vital lens through which to understand how racial resentment continues to shape policy and public discourse.

Current Issues in Corrections explores a variety of the most timely and salient challenges facing the correctional system today. The text is comprised of chapters written by experts in the field who have experience as both academic and criminal justice practitioners.

The book begins with an exploration of issues in private corrections and then moves forward to discuss the rights of individuals in correctional institutions and under community supervision, the Criminal Justice Reform Act of 2018, jails and immigration, the role of drug courts in reducing recidivism, institutional programming, inmate reentry, educational trajectories of post-incarcerated youth, and more. The text concludes by considering the future of capital punishment. Each chapter includes opening questions, key terms, and discussion questions to stimulate reflection and critical thinking.

For the second edition, updates have been made throughout the chapters to reflect the most current information and statistics. The book also features two new chapters on the experiences of women and juveniles in the correctional system. Finally, the chapters on correctional history, civil commitments, and comparative corrections have been removed, allowing the volume to focus more directly on contemporary issues and remain brief enough to use in a single semester course.

Featuring a unique balance of theory and practice, Current Issues in Corrections is an exemplary textbook for courses in criminal justice and corrections.

Cambridge Law Handbooks

This Handbook analyses pressing legal and policy issues that have arisen in the rapidly changing media ecosystem: from threats to media freedom and pluralism and the safety of journalists to challenges arising from the shift to platform-based communication, the spread of disinformation and the impact of AI on media and news production. Seeking to pave the way for new, integrated regulatory responses, the individual chapters address legal and policy developments from an overarching perspective that includes insights from human rights law, media law and copyright law. Following this holistic approach, the Handbook identifies common principles for a coherent regulatory framework for news and media in Europe. It evaluates existing laws and media governance institutions in light of the economic, technological and political challenges posed to the media sector. The individual contributions present new directions for an integrated approach to European media law and policy. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

What is tradition in American constitutional law, and what is its enduring appeal in American culture? In The Constitution of Practice, Marc O. DeGirolami presents and defends his theory of constitutional law, one rooted in our political, legal, and cultural experience. He argues that constitutional traditions are the ways in which we manifest, give concrete form to, and transmit political excellence across time. He explains how traditions also bind us to one another, strengthening the civic affection necessary to a democratic republic. Responding to several criticisms, the author discusses the relationship of constitutional method and American politics, evaluating traditionalism's political adhesion and its prospects in the coming decades. At a time when Americans increasingly do not trust their institutions, DeGirolami explores how a traditionalist approach to the Constitution can begin to repair the disaffection that many now feel for their legal institutions.
