Real Stories of Quebec Orphanages

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.

Rights & Responsibilities

The California Landlord's Law Book

This collection addresses a glaring gap in comparative and international law literature. Rich, nuanced and multi-faceted, Chinese legal culture is fascinating but little understood outside the country's borders, due to language barriers and the complexity of its society and governance. This book addresses this gap by identifying key aspects of Chinese law that most contribute to China's role as a global player. Organised around the themes of stability and prosperity, it covers important topics such as the Chinese political and constitutional system, the Chinese criminal justice system and the evolution of Chinese law. It goes further to look at China on the world stage, exploring cross-border commerce, international trade and investment, foreign policy and Chinese perspectives on international law. Written by talented scholars based both inside and outside China who have a deep understanding of the subjects, it offers unique insights into one of the lesser known but arguably most impactful of the world's jurisdictions. Legal scholars, law students, as well as practising lawyers engaged in commercial activities related to China will find this book invaluable.

Chinese Law in a Global Context

What does it take for someone-or something-to count as a legal person? Is it a matter of biology, ideology, or both? This book explores how societies determine who or what qualifies as a legal person, from individual humans to corporations, from nation-states to environmental entities. The author argues that legal personhood is not grounded in fixed, mind-independent properties or logical entailments. Instead, it develops from how humans experience their physical and cultural worlds through embodied cognition. Mapping these experiences onto seemingly discrete (legal) concepts yields a categorisation process that is creative yet patterned by culturally entrenched models and institutional aims. The book introduces the "radial conception," which posits that legal personhood is a flexible, context-dependent category centred around a core case. The core case - often, in many legal systems, the adult citizen of sound mind - is a mental model that helps define the category and influences how we think about it. This makes the most typical features of a category the default ones we think of when encountering it. As new situations arise or social needs evolve, legal personhood expands outward from the core case to include a diverse range of entities. However, this expansion does not follow rigid rules; rather, it relies on conceptual mappings that derive much of their persuasive power from cognitive tools like metaphors, metonymies, and image schemas. Of interest to students engaged in legal philosophy, academics exploring the interplay between cognitive science and law, practitioners aiming to deepen their knowledge of legal personhood, or anyone intrigued by the merging of legal concepts and psychological insights, this book charts new territory in understanding law's persons.

What the Mind Reveals about Law

The Concept of Legal Personhood

This book argues that patient autonomy and medical negligence make for strange bedfellows. The emphasis on autonomy has distorted orthodox negligence principles, contributing to uncertainty and angst amongst healthcare professionals while eroding trust in the doctor-patient relationship. This work takes the current discourse beyond autonomy - which focuses on the rights of the patient, to agency and shared decision-making - which focus on the relationship between doctor and patient. The core argument is built on a review of the theoretical foundations of negligence and the philosophical conceptions of autonomy. Provocatively, this work argues against a rights-based approach to negligence - which can be confrontational - in favour of a human obligations approach, which is collaborative and thus well suited to the doctor-patient relationship. Drawing on the theoretical analysis, the book identifies doctrinal anomalies in the duty of care, standard of care, causation, and damage. It critically analyses landmark UK Supreme Court cases, including Chester v Afshar, Montgomery v Lanarkshire Health Board, and McCulloch v Forth Valley Health Board, arguing that the law is increasingly detached from the realities of medical practice and reasonable expectations of patients. Primarily based on UK law, the work also discusses Australian, Canadian, and Singaporean law. The book is aimed at the medical and legal fraternities as well as students and scholars of tort law. Doctors and lawyers will gain fresh insights into medical negligence; scholars will find an alternative perspective to orthodoxy with rich material to rethink theory and doctrine in negligence.

On Constitutional Comparison

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.

The Sword of History

A comprehensive guide to U.S. visas and green cards, covering both eligibility and practical steps toward obtaining the desired benefit. Readers will learn how the U.S. immigration bureaucracy functions (or malfunctions) and whether they potentially qualify for a green card based on family or work; a temporary visa for tourism, study, work, or a cultural exchange; or another program or remedy, such as asylum or a U visa. Useful for both would-be immigrants and those who assist them.

U.S. Immigration Made Easy

Available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. This groundbreaking volume exposes the systematic violence embedded within the UK's asylum system as experienced by unaccompanied children and young people. Drawing on innovative participatory research methodology, the authors reveal how 'hostile environment' policies create devastating 'tipping points' that transform bureaucratic processes into acts of structural violence. Through rigorous legal analysis and compelling empirical evidence, this essential text challenges readers to confront the profound human cost of hostile immigration policy while offering concrete strategies for trauma-informed reform. It is an urgent call for systemic change that will resonate with academics, policy makers and practitioners across law, social work, migration studies and human rights.

Short-Termism and Shareholder Engagement

An original study of the UK's preventive hybrid orders, revealing how civil powers with criminal consequences target people as much as behaviour. A timely critique of how these powers disproportionately affect groups already subject to social disadvantage and intensive policing.
