Families and the Law in the Works of Agatha Christie

Commonwealth Caribbean Law

Commonwealth Caribbean Criminal Law is a comprehensive guide to criminal law, covering the jurisdictions of Barbados, Jamaica, Trinidad &amp; Tobago, the Bahamas, and Belize, with reference also to other jurisdictions such as Guyana and the OECS member states. Written by established lecturers at the University of the West Indies, this text is an essential guide for all students of criminal law in the region.

This book offers the first detailed study of women's legal status in early modern Liège, an otherwise largely overlooked case in European legal history. It follows women across the course of their lives, from birth to widowhood, to show how their legal position and control over property shifted over time, depending on their social status and place within the family. Drawing on a substantial body of wills and marriage contracts from notarial practice, it moves beyond traditional sources to show how the law actually worked in everyday practice, and who took part in its creation. By bringing all these elements together, this book offers a nuanced picture of how law and gender interacted in early modern Europe.

Women's Legal Status Between Customary Law, Notarial Practice and Ius Commune (16th-17th Century)

Women and the Law in Early Modern Liège

A money confessional from The FT's columnist, Sunday Times bestselling author and Lorraine's money expert, Claer Barrett, uncovering the financial skeletons we all hide in the closet that plague our relationships with others.Should you share a bank account with the person you share a bed with? Why does your partner insist on splitting the bills 50:50 even though they earn twice as much as you do? Would you be mad if your parents left all of their money to your less successful sibling? And best of all, how do you even begin to talk about these things? A taboo-busting reveal of the financial dynamics that underpin our relationships with others - our friends, partners and families - How to Talk About Money reveals the hidden money dynamics that bubble unsaid and ruin our relationship and our chance of attaining financial independence. With unfiltered money confessionals, practical scripts and tools to counter the most common money pitfalls and Claer's trademark no-nonsense agony aunt advice, this book makes awkwardness about money a thing of the past allowing you to enjoy the good life with your loved ones.

Overcoming the Money Secrets that Keep Us and Our Relationships Stuck

How to Talk About Money

Americans take it for granted that the states of the union make up an economic common market. But that is the case only because early in the nation's history the Supreme Court ruled that the Commerce Clause of the Constitution establishes a principle--sometimes called the "dormant Commerce Clause" principle--that blocks individual states from cutting off the free flow of cross-border trade. From the 1820s onward the Court has issued hundreds of rulings applying this doctrine to prevent the states from imposing tariff-like taxes, local processing requirements, and other restrictions on the free movement of goods and services across state lines. The result for the nation has been, as Justice Robert Jackson once observed, a "material success that . . . has been the most impressive in the history of commerce." After joining the Court in 1986 Justice Antonin Scalia challenged the dormant Commerce Clause principle as an illegitimate judicial innovation at odds with a proper "originalist" interpretation of the Constitution. This critique, moreover, quickly picked up steam as other prominent jurists and commentators--most notably, Justice Clarence Thomas--gave it their enthusiastic support. Is the originalist challenge to the dormant Commerce Clause rule well-founded? In The Common-Market Constitution, Coenen argues that the answer is no. Like Justice Scalia, Coenen focuses on discovering the original public meaning of the Commerce Clause. According to Coenen, however, the text and history of that clause compel a conclusion that is the direct opposite of the one that Justice Scalia reached. As Coenen demonstrates, a proper originalist assessment of the dormant Commerce Clause principle requires consideration of a sweeping body of text- and history-based evidence that ranges far beyond what critics of that principal rule have focused on in the past. A full and fair appraisal of that evidence, Coenen argues, leaves no doubt that the constitutional rule that the Court has long applied to safeguard the American common market does reflect the original public meaning of the Commerce Clause.

The Voice of the Child and Expert Reports in Family Law Proceedings

By exploring the historic development of marriage laws and changing relationship norms in England, Qatar and Australia; the legal treatment of religious-only unions in light of the family law regime in each country, and the impact of non-recognition, this book reveals the complexities of the law reform needed to tackle these issues. This examination of the differing outcomes for couples who live in England/Wales where cohabitants have no legal rights, Australia where cohabitants do benefit from some legal protections, and Qatar, a Muslim majority state with a modern family law regime which ordinarily recognises religious marriages provides a broad canvas for exploring this issue in depth. The book looks at this very complex issue from a range of perspectives including autonomy, cultural transitions and legal pluralism. It examines the issue of religious-only marriages in order to convey the complex and interwoven narrative which signifies how multifaceted law reform must be in order to adequately respond to these transitioning relationship norms in any given jurisdiction. Of course, relationship norms are not static and they continue to evolve. In light of changing norms and practices, the theoretical framework for this book focuses on the concept of 'liminality' or transition, which is being witnessed in the processes and formalities by which Muslims are entering their marriages.

Muslim Marriages in Transition

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

Can we hold individuals criminally responsible for harms their actions caused when, at the time of acting, they did not realise that their actions risked bringing about those harms? This persistent and unresolved question strikes at the heart of criminal liability for inadvertent negligence in legal systems worldwide. This open access volume brings together a diverse group of contributors to discuss the criminalisation of inadvertent negligence. Significantly, the authors hail from two very different legal traditions - Anglo-American and Germanic - which have to date not engaged in dialogue about this important criminal law topic. This edited volume addresses this gap in the literature. The contributions to this collection explore the similarities and differences between legal traditions, and foster cross-jurisdictional exchange, whilst critically reflecting on the normative strengths and weaknesses of different legal vantage points. The collection accordingly incorporates theoretical, philosophical and psychological insights from experienced scholars and new voices, thereby offering a multidimensional account of why, and under what conditions, those who are unaware of a particular risk of harm at the time of acting can, or cannot, justifiably be punished when those harms do result.

Comparative and Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Inadvertent Negligence

Criminalising Carelessness

This book investigates the privately negotiated financial arrangements made by divorcing couples where no legal advice or financial orders were sought. It calls for a re-evaluation of the assumptions of autonomy and agency held by policy makers and adds to the debates around the role and purpose of family law in England and Wales. Drawing on interviews with divorced military wives, the book provides a case study of the operation of current family law principles and values in a context where highly gendered familial roles are a key feature. It provides fresh insight into the challenges presented by neoliberal understandings of autonomy and agency, which presume that individuals have freely chosen to organise their lives in a way that creates dependency and financial precarity. It adopts a socio-legal framework to examine how the interpersonal dynamics established during marriage influence financial decision-making. The book argues that there are important lessons to be learned from military wives, shedding light on the highly gendered patterns of behaviour within military families which are replicated in the wider population. It advocates the importance of recognising the many factors that limit autonomy and agency during marriage and that are not mitigated against in the family justice system, which instead permits - and encourages - unfair and unequal financial arrangements to be made. This book is essential reading for lawyers, students of family law, and policy makers.

Global Reflections on Positionality in Rural Access to Justice Research

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.
