Barker S: Researching Legislative Intent

Researching Legislative Intent

A Practical Guide

For much of the past century, with the U.S. considered the world leader in innovation, its economic growth based on continued creative contributions from its citizens was a given. But this privileged position is under threat. In recent years, the U.S. has lagged behind other countries on several innovation measures, and including an ability to compete against international cities for venture-capital backed startups and creative talent. The arrival of AI only adds urgency to the questions of whether the U.S. will continue to be an innovation leader, and whether that leadership will advance human flourishing. &nbsp;&nbsp;The Creativity Tax draws on neuroscience, psychology, economics, law, and public policy to make the case that reducing poverty and inequality through a federal guaranteed income is the missing key to unlocking our collective creative potential and expanding our innovative capacity. It explains how policy inaction in addressing poverty and inequality is taxing our innovative capacities in ways that threaten our continued ability to produce high quality, socially beneficial innovation. The book also reveals how these questions of innovation leadership are deeply entwined with questions of who gets to innovate in this country and what kinds of innovation is produced—innovation for innovation's sake that benefits a few, or truly useful innovation that advances human flourishing. &nbsp;&nbsp;Synthesizing a broad range of scholarship, Stephanie Plamondon makes a novel argument for addressing poverty and inequality, not only as a matter of social welfare policy, but also for our nation's continued progress as an innovation leader.

Settling a Loved One's Estate or Trust

The Executor's Guide

This book explores the global phenomenon of migration, transplantation, and borrowing of constitutional ideas. It combines conceptual and normative approaches to dissect a phenomenon which has been both praised and maligned in political and academic discourse. The book takes a broad view of the term 'constitutional'. Its contributors are drawn from the fields of comparative constitutional law, EU law, medieval history, political philosophy, international law, private law, and administration of justice. They consider constitutional transplantation as a specific case of the migration of ideas and place it within that broader intellectual framework of the movement of knowledge. The results of the movement of constitutional ideas can be found outside, as well as within, the law, and the implications of such movement go beyond it. The authors examine legal and constitutional systems in Asia, Europe, North and South America, as both sources and recipients of transplantations. The authors analyse, from historical, conceptual, and normative angles, the transplantation of constitutions and constitutional ideas from one state to another, and the role played by cultures and histories in the reception of constitutional provisions and ideas.

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 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.
