Lee: Law and Corpus Linguistics

Law and Corpus Linguistics

Lex Amicitia draws a long history of the law of friendship - from Aristotle to Derrida - into a contemporary context: scouring the backrooms, bars and ill-lit alcoves, the corridors and side-rooms where the interior engine of institutional decisions operates. The intimate public sphere is fueled by the affects of amity and enmity, identification and rejection, experience and projection in negotiating and deciding the fate of workaday lives. Using the example of law, and specifically of the legal academy in the Anglophone world, this book pieces together the hidden ties and the secret bondings, the erotics and the hostilities that play beneath the surface of public lives. Patiently reconstructing the apparitions of affect and amity as they are glimpsed in marginal moments and off-hours, peripheries and slips, emails and other unintended viscera, the structural role of the laws of friendship, the legal form of compact, concord and contract is reconstructed and expounded.

Cornerstone on...

Inquests and inquiries form a distinct area of law in which the aim of the tribunal is to discover what happened, rather than who is right, wrong, or at fault. Cornerstone on Inquests and Inquiries provides an accessible, go-to guide to this area of practice, useful for both practitioners and parties involved. It looks at the field as a whole, acknowledging the commonalities between inquests and public inquiries, and providing a practical approach to each. The book also covers the field of parliamentary inquiries.

Cornerstone on Inquests and Inquiries

This book brings to light a neglected program of cosmopolitan normativity in international law - innate cosmopolitanism. Whilst liberal cosmopolitanism is organized around the abstract individual, and constitutional cosmopolitanism is organized around the achievement of a formal arrangement, innate cosmopolitanism, is organized around a naturally-occurring collective whole: comprising all of humanity at any point in time, and understood as a historical phenomenon capable of exhibiting a will, interests or ends of its own. As such, innate cosmopolitanism is, he argues, is the leitmotif of international law. The book thus brings to light an ill-appreciated stream of cosmopolitan normativity in international law, and subject it to critique.

This book brings to light a neglected program of cosmopolitan normativity in international law – innate cosmopolitanism – that holds special significance in this time of competing efforts to define and direct an expanding global public order. Beginning from an intentionally broad use of the term cosmopolitan, derived from etymological roots in the cosmo-polis, Geoff Gordon draws out the main streams of thought associated with cosmopolitanism over time in discourses of international law and politics. The two best-recognized are liberal cosmopolitanism and constitutional cosmopolitanism. And, In addition to these, he introduces a third: innate cosmopolitanism. Whilst liberal cosmopolitanism is organized around the abstract individual, and constitutional cosmopolitanism is organized around the achievement of a formal arrangement, innate cosmopolitanism, is organized around a naturally-occurring collective whole: comprising all of humanity at any point in time, and understood as a historical phenomenon capable of exhibiting a will, interests or ends of its own. As such, innate cosmopolitanism is more central to the historical narrative of international law than either liberal or constitutional cosmopolitanism. It is, he argues, is the leitmotif of international law. Clarifying, consolidating – and critiquing – cosmopolitan thought, the book thus brings to light an ill-appreciated stream of cosmopolitan normativity in international law, and subject it to critique. It will be of huge interest to specialists and students of international law and politics, and especially those concerned with ideas and theories of global order or international society.

Innate Cosmopolitanism

Le droit de la concurrence, dans un territoire insulaire aux marchés étroits, aux équilibres fragiles et aux interdépendances fortes, n'est pas une abstraction importée : il est devenu un instrument structurant de la vie économique polynésienne. Bien appliqué, ce droit protège l'initiative sans l'étouffer, stimule la dynamique entrepreneuriale sans nier les réalités locales, et contribue à lutter contre la cherté de la vie tout en préservant la cohésion sociale.Ce guide propose une lecture opérationnelle du droit de la concurrence en Polynésie française. Il en expose les fondements, les mécanismes et les outils, en les confrontant aux situations concrètes rencontrées par les entreprises, les institutions et les praticiens du Pays. Nourri de retours d'expérience, de cas pratiques et d'analyses contextualisées, l'ouvrage éclaire les choix de régulation propres aux petits marchés insulaires, sans jamais les isoler des grandes dynamiques régionales et internationales.
Pensé comme un outil de compréhension et de décision, ce livre s'adresse à celles et ceux qui font l'économie polynésienne au quotidien - chefs d'entreprise, décideurs publics, juristes, universitaires, consommateurs - et à tous ceux qui considèrent que la concurrence, loin d'être une contrainte, est un levier de confiance, d'équilibre et de prospérité durable pour la Polynésie française.

Introduction to Criminal Justice ISE

Multilateral environmental agreements have over the last four decades emerged as the preferred avenue to address inter-state environmental issues such as climate change. This book analyses the possibilities as well as the limitations of environmental treaty making between states. The book considers the structures and processes that lead to the successful adoption of the Paris Agreement - and contrasting them with other attempts that failed in bringing states together under a legally-binding solution. Christina Voigt explores the whole "life-cycle" of multilateral environmental agreements. Also emphasised is the impact of emerging economies in shaping international environmental regimes.

Multilateralism has been increasingly accepted as the modus operandi in world politics, and in global environmental politics in particular. International environmental law in the form of multilateral environmental agreements has over the last four decades emerged as the preferred avenue to address inter-state environmental issues that either cross state boundaries, materialize beyond national jurisdictions or are of genuinely global nature such as climate change.This book analyses the possibilities as well as the limitations of environmental treaty making between states. The book considers the structures and processes that lead to the successful adoption of the Paris Agreement – and contrasting them with other attempts that failed in bringing states together under a legally-binding solution. Christina Voigt explores the whole "life-cycle" of multilateral environmental agreements, from diplomatic exchanges, to treaty negotiations, to analyses of the treaty text, non-compliance mechanisms and finally to recourse to courts. It also emphasises the strong impact of the sovereign powers of emerging economies such as China and Brazil on the shaping of international environmental regimes.

Environmental Multilateralism and its Discontents

This book assembles critical contributions on the work of TRS Allan, the Professor Emeritus of Jurisprudence and Public Law at the University of Cambridge, whose leading work in legal and constitutional theory spans almost 45 years. Allan has charted a distinctive path for legal, political, and moral theory and practice and has become a highly significant figure in the UK and in common law/parliamentary systems around the world. His ideas challenge established opinions about constitutional law within these systems as well as established views about the rule of law from more abstract or philosophical perspectives. Allan claims that law and morality find an inherent connection through the rule of law. He argues that there is a connection that flourishes in common law jurisdictions because although Parliament has sovereign legislative powers, its laws gain their full legal meaning only through an interpretive lens. This lens seeks to reconcile sovereign will with legality's basic moral ideals, especially the idea that law must be general and capable of guiding behaviour and thus respectful of the equality and dignity of its subjects. Allan's scholarship is powerful yet controversial, and it has inspired 20 leading scholars from the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand to engage with the central themes of his work. By doing so, the contributors help to make that work accessible to a new generation of scholars and students. They also provide a timely framework for engaging in the most important challenges facing our democracies today: how our legal systems do, or do not, honour and respect democracy and therefore legislative sovereignty while at the same time honouring and respecting the rule of law, or the 'Promise of Legality'.

Critical Reflections on the Work of TRS Allan

The Promise of Legality

The lack of a social scientific foundation across the field of negligence means that social life and scientific knowledge are transformed and mutated by a negligence paradigm that is unable to fulfil the social purposes typically attributed to it. Analysing the extent to which the reparation ideal has polluted and confused attempts to find radical alternatives to negligence, this book argues for a critical separation between the issue of harm minimisation and reparation; a separation that, it is argued, provides the basis for a different policy approach to the human experience of injury, error and misfortune.

Beyond the Negligence Paradigm offers a novel engagement with key problems and failings which have long been identified with the operation of the negligence system. Connecting a broad range of critical approaches in private legal theory that laments the disconnection between negligence and the 'real world', the author analyses the various obstacles – including the very nature of law and scientific knowledge – which make inevitable a difficult and incomplete intersection. Illustrating how a stronger appreciation of the nature of science helps to achieve a better appreciation of law, in particular underpinning the importance of exploring non-legal approaches, the author seeks to provide a fresh vantage point from which policy-makers and socio-legal scholars can identify new and more honest strategies for addressing and managing the incidence of error, accidents and injury. Recommending a de-centring of negligence-style thinking, the work argues in favour of a more open-ended inquiry about the mechanics of social life and our ignorance of it.

Developing a Regulatory Ergonomic Approach to Error and Injury

Beyond the Negligence Paradigm

The Restorative Society: How Healing Justice Can Transform Our World is a groundbreaking exploration of restorative justice as a comprehensive philosophy and practice with the power to reshape our responses to harm, conflict, and injustice. This book journeys through the ancient roots of restorative practices in indigenous cultures and biblical traditions, examines the philosophical foundations that give restorative justice its intellectual coherence, and explores the core principles of accountability, reparation, community involvement, empathy, and healing that distinguish restorative approaches from punitive alternatives. Drawing on insights from law, psychology, philosophy, and theology, it demonstrates how restorative justice addresses not only individual harms but systemic injustices, offering a vision of justice that prioritizes healing over punishment, restoration over retribution, and community over isolation.
Through detailed examination of restorative practices-victim-offender mediation, family group conferencing, circle processes, and community restorative boards-and real-world applications in criminal justice, education, workplaces, and communities across the globe, this book reveals the transformative potential of restorative approaches. It honestly addresses the challenges and criticisms facing restorative justice while providing practical strategies for implementation, sustainability, and scaling. Ultimately, The Restorative Society issues a compelling call to action, inviting readers to embrace restorative values in their own lives and communities, and envisioning a future where restorative principles are woven into the fabric of society-creating a world where healing, accountability, and community prevail, and where justice truly becomes a force for restoration rather than merely punishment.
