How Lawyers Failed to Stop the Post Office Scandal

Anthropology, Law, and Political Morals

Some Versions of Legalism

Why is legal prose so hard to read? One reason is obvious: Legal writers rarely think about their audience. When legal writers account for the preferences and expectations of their readers, legal writing can be sublime. Lucid. Easy to navigate and simple to understand. This species of legal writing leaps from the page to grab its readers by the collar, holding their interest and attention to the very last word. It is comfortably understood, employs concrete words and concrete grammar, shows - not tells - with concrete facts and concrete arguments. And this motivates the reader forward. Zen and the Art of Persuasive Writing tackles abstract questions in fresh and relatable ways, imbuing the dharma of mindfulness and cognitive science into the conversation on persuasive and legal writing. It dissects persuasive writing into 9 mantras: <ul><li>Be aware of the audience. Persuasive writers understand that readers and writers are separated by time and distance, so they channel the readers to prognosticate and answer questions. </li><li>Be less categorical. Persuasive writers know that few rules are absolute. </li><li>Be clear and concrete. Persuasive prose conveys hard facts and ideas in plain and simple words. </li><li>Be concise. A persuasive writer severs the meaningful from the meaningless. He is focused and assured. </li><li>Be cohesive and coherent. Persuasive prose is easy on the eyes and simple to navigate. </li><li>Be compelling. A persuasive writer holds the attention and interest of his readers for long enough to move their hearts and minds. </li><li>Be credible. A persuasive writer earns his reputation with colleagues and the courts, knowing a fine reputation is not purchased or invoked. </li><li>Be a reader and writer. A persuasive writer reads and reverse-engineers the language, style and approach of stuff he likes. </li><li>Be meticulous and rewrite. A persuasive writer toils to ensure the audience will understand the point. He knows that persuasive prose is the end product of many drafts and myriad decisions.</li></ul>

Why Intersectional Discrimination Matters

Breaking Down Barriers to Rights for Unaccompanied Children in Migration

This book presents cutting-edge analysis of one of the most significant constitutional crises in recent British history: the prolonged and intense struggle between government and parliament for control over Brexit. It argues the crisis was very largely caused by the emergence of an Executive-centric approach to governance it dubs 'Whitehall Plus', and the strong parliamentary-push back it both provoked and responded to. The book shows how the crisis exposed and widened deep fault-lines running through core doctrines and practices of the British constitution - profound disagreements long held unresolved and in abeyance, but which exploded into high-octane conflict during the period.

Using an aesthetic culture and techniques termed as jihadi cool, terrorist groups have been able to recruit members from around the world, so how do we begin to respond? This book analyzes the rhetorical and ethical dynamics of a culture of jihadi cool/chic, and why these rhetorical and aesthetic techniques have been such a powerful recruitment force for particular transnational terrorist groups. The author uses an evidence-based approach, with frameworks derived from law, politics, philosophy, rhetoric, feminist theory, and communication studies, to examine various attempts to construct counter-narratives to the jihadi cool master narrative. The book closes with an examination of how to begin to respond critically and effectively to the lure of jihadi cool.

Today's Crime and Punishment Issues

This book analyses recent developments in English corporate restructuring law from a range of comparative and theoretical perspectives, exploring some of the most difficult aspects of the design of domestic restructuring laws and their application in cross-border cases. Recent reforms to English law took place against the backdrop of corporate restructuring law reform initiatives in Europe and in many other regions of the world. These reforms reflect an emerging consensus as to the importance of such laws, both as a complement to macroeconomic stabilisation tools in times of extraordinary crisis, and as a determinant of investment conditions in more ordinary times. But it is one thing to recognise the importance of such laws in the abstract, and quite another to work out precisely how corporate restructuring rules should be designed. This book explores some of the most complex aspects of designing such rules. It does so primarily through the close analysis of the changes made by the enactment of the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 (UK), and the interpretation of the new statutory provisions by the courts, although chapter authors draw extensively on examples from other jurisdictions to critically analyse choices made in the UK, and in some cases offer separate evaluation of restructuring law reform processes outside the UK, including in select jurisdictions in the EU and in Africa, and in the US. By drawing on experiences in other jurisdictions, and on insights from theory, the book casts new light on recent developments in English law, suggesting many avenues for further research and a range of implications for policymakers. These implications are brought out in an introductory chapter by the editors introducing the landmark 2020 reforms. This chapter provides a detailed synopsis of each chapter of the book, drawing out connections between them, and articulates some themes that run through the chapters that are salient for policymakers.
