For decades, LGBTI people simply did not exist in the language of international human rights law. No treaty named them, and no UN body addressed their demands. They had been written out of the universal promise of human rights. Based on archival research in Amsterdam and London, three years of participant observation at the UN, and in-depth interviews with activists, diplomats, and UN officials, Queer International Activism tracks the strategies, coalitions, and creative advocacy efforts through which LGBTI activists gradually inserted themselves into the world's most powerful human rights institutions. &nbsp;&nbsp;The book traces five distinct ways in which queer civil society organizations worked to reshape human rights subjecthood: reframing the meaning of universality; drafting their own international legal instruments; forging coalitions inside UN bodies; confronting the colonial assumptions embedded in global sexuality politics; and leveraging personal relationships and individual identity to open doors that formal institutional rules kept closed. But this is not a straightforward victory narrative. The power queer activists have won is real but precarious, built on relationships and opportunity rather than on deep institutional change, and the influence activists have gained depends on conditions that can disappear. As opposition to LGBTI rights escalates across the globe, this book underscores the urgency of understanding how queer activist changed the trajectory of human rights law, and how fragile these victories remain.

The history of equity takes in questions of philosophy, theology, jurisprudence and legal history. When we speak of 'equity', do we mean Aristotelian epieikeia, civilian aequitas, a theological or juridical conscience, the common law concept of the 'equity of the statute', or merely the rules applied by the Court of Chancery before 1875? The purpose of this volume is to chart the evolution of equity in English legal history from the medieval period to the present day. Whether by investigating the historical foundations of the modern law, the jurisprudential underpinnings of the equitable jurisdiction, or the socio-political context of discrete legal developments, this collection exposes the strands of thought which 'equity' comprises and the mechanisms by which its rules evolved.

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 Office of Hawaiian Affairs is a semi-autonomous government agency established at the height of the Hawaiian cultural and political renaissance to expend public funds for the benefit of Native Hawaiians. In The Sword of History Troy Andrade offers a legal and political history of this agency in order to excavate its role in the ongoing struggle for Native Hawaiian self-determination. Andrade demonstrates how the framing of past events in connection with present-day lawmaking perpetuates narratives of either justice or injustice, which in turn support or undermine the legal bases for reparative action. He sheds light on how history becomes a metaphorical sword that is wielded by those with power to control reconciliation efforts. &nbsp;&nbsp;Using legal records, archival materials, and personal interviews, this manuscript expands on legal-historical understandings of the use of collective memory in different legal institutions, such as through state constitution building, legislation, and court opinions. Andrade deftly weaves a compelling narrative out of these complex and often fraught legal battles, which often had implications far beyond the Hawaiian state. Ultimately this book offers a novel perspective on the complicated legal politics surrounding indigeneity in the U.S. writ large.

Choosing tenants, raising the rent, returning deposits, and maintaining rental property--these are just a few of the things landlords do that are strictly regulated by California law. To avoid problems and hefty legal fees, rental property owners and managers need to know and comply with federal, state, and local rules, and use the proper legal forms. Fortunately, everything you need is in this book. Rent control and eviction protections are blossoming throughout California; alongside statewide protections, even small municipalities are enacting local ordinances that affect rent, terminations, and notices. This book contains a unique rent control chart that explains key provisions and gives information on how to learn more. No California landlord can afford to do business without checking for local ordinances and following them.
