Combs S: THE JUST-IN-CASE PLAN

THE JUST-IN-CASE PLAN

Smart Strategies for Long term Care, Family Conversations and Legacy Protection

This advanced textbook offers an overview and critical treatment of comparative law, incorporating both traditional and modern approaches to the discipline and an up-to-date survey of the key methodological debates. The fundamental concepts of comparative law are examined through the lens of three main questions: what to compare, why compare, and how to compare.The study of the objects of comparative analysis (what to compare) begins with a critique of legal positivism to address a plurality of legal concepts. The investigation of the aims of comparative law (why compare) considers the most widespread classifications of legal orders and the diverse approaches to the study of legal change. Finally, the methods of comparative law (how to compare) are analysed, taking into account their different functions. Adopting a contextualised, interdisciplinary approach to the subject with a focus on a range of different legal systems, the author brings in examples from politics and economics to the analysis, highlighting the importance of comparative law for the understanding of modern societies.Comparative Law: A Critical Introduction will provide a thought-provoking read for advanced-level students and scholars of comparative law.

A Critical Introduction

New Directions in Critical Criminology

Written by experts in the field, this book critically evaluates what restorative justice means today in its various different contexts and examines how the current state of research succeeds or fails in capturing the true state of the art.

Restorative Justice Practice

Routledge Research in Finance and Banking Law

This book tackles the challenge of holdout creditor disruption of sovereign debt restructuring, where creditors reject collective agreements to pursue full loan recovery in domestic courts.Critically examining the contemporary statutory and contractual approaches to sovereign debt restructuring, the book presents their usefulness and limitations, including the potential major impact of the doctrine of merger in rem judicatam. It proposes the duty of good faith (which is generally implied under U.S law, implied in certain categories of contract under English law, and widely recognized globally) applied in the context of sovereign debt as a relational contract, as a robust legal approach to combating such disruptions in domestic courts. Through rigorous analysis of case law and treatises, the book argues that sovereign debt contracts are relational contracts, invoking heightened good faith and equity obligations. With in-depth analysis of the contents and judicial applications of the duty of good faith in English and New York jurisprudence, it demonstrates how holdout actions violate good faith, and proffers a judicial approach, based on the duty of good faith, to sovereign debt restructuring as a viable alternative to current statutory and contractual approaches.This book will be of interest to practitioners, researchers, and policy makers in contract law, finance law, relational contract theory, good faith, and sovereign debt.

A Good Faith and Relational Contract Approach

Sovereign Debt Restructuring and Contract Law

This practical guide walks New Mexicans through the car accident claims process from crash scene to settlement. Written in plain English, it explains how to document an accident, navigate insurance claims, understand medical treatment and billing, and recognize when a case may require legal help.
The book covers New Mexico's unique legal landscape, including the state's mandatory minimum coverage requirements, uninsured and underinsured motorist protections, and the rules governing fault and compensation. Readers learn how insurance adjusters evaluate claims, what factors affect case value, and how to avoid common mistakes that reduce settlements.
Designed for people with no legal background, the guide emphasizes informed participation over passive reliance on professionals. It provides sample documents, realistic timelines, and clear action steps throughout. The goal is simple: help readers understand their rights and work effectively with insurance companies and attorneys to reach fair outcomes.

Cambridge Studies on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties

This book reveals how Congress quietly shaped American elections across more than a century of constitutional development. Far from a passive observer, Congress used its authority to influence key controversies - from the expansion of slavery in new territories to the reconstruction of the post-Civil War electorate. Congress exercised power under the Elections Clause, the Guarantee Clause, and later, the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, to combat voter suppression, reimagine representation, and determine who could (and could not) participate in American democracy. Even as Jim Crow laws disenfranchised millions, Congress continued to review and sometimes overturn the elections of its own members, refusing to cede complete control to the states. In doing so, Congress routinely subordinated federalism to politics. In Congress We Trust? provides a new perspective on who truly governs our system of elections by showing that federal authority has been broad, lasting, and decisive.

Enforcing Voting Rights from the Founding to the Jim Crow Era

In Congress We Trust?

From the rise of China as a technological superpower, to wars on its eastern borders, to the belief that the US is no longer a reliable ally, the European Commission sees the world as more unstable than at any other time in recent history. As such, the Commission has become the Geopolitical Commission, working to serve the interests of the Geopolitical Union. Central to many of these conflicts is technology - who produces it, where it is produced, and who controls it. These questions are central to the Commission's pursuit of digital/technological sovereignty, Europe's attempt to regain control of technology regulation. Focusing on topics such as setting technological standards, ensuring access to microchips, reining in online platforms, and securing rules for industrial data and AI, this book explores the EU's approach to lawmaking in this field; increased regulatory oversight and promotion of industrial policy at home, while exporting its rules abroad.

Europe's Attempt to Take Back Control of Technology Regulation

Geopolitical Union

In theory, the Constitution recognizes individuals.
In practice, security regimes often recognize identities.
Suspect by Default is an inquiry into how terror narratives, once introduced as emergency responses, become normalized tools of governance. It explores how Muslim citizens-particularly those from marginalized backgrounds-are disproportionately drawn into the machinery of suspicion, often without credible evidence, and held there for years through procedural delays, restrictive bail laws, and media stigmatization.
This book traces the life cycle of suspicion:How names become files
How neighborhoods become "zones"
How preventive detention replaces investigation
How trials outlast innocence
How acquittal fails to restore dignity


Importantly, this is a pro-constitutional one.
It acknowledges that law enforcement operates under immense pressure and that terrorism is real. But it also insists that efficiency without accountability is dangerous, and that security without justice breeds alienation-the very condition terrorism exploits.
Each section of the book builds systematically:From ideology to mechanism
From arrest to aftermath
From individual suffering to structural incentives
From critique to reform


The ultimate argument is simple yet urgent:
A democracy that trades equality for expediency will lose both.
This book invites lawmakers, judges, journalists, students, and ordinary citizens to rethink how terror is fought-and at what cost.

Suspect by Default

This book analyses laws distinctively normative contribution to place-making. In an original, cross-disciplinary, analysis drawing on scholarship in law, geography, philosophy and politics, Antonia Layard considers how law operates in the fixing of borders that both protect and exclude. Centred upon four legal case studies - on public space; housing regulation; rules on the manifestation of religion; and geographic indications in intellectual property law - the book pursues a critical geographical consideration of how place is integral to ideas about identity, belonging and territory.

Law, Place &amp; Maps: Balancing Protection and Exclusion analyse law’s distinctively normative contribution to place-making. In an original, cross-disciplinary, analysis drawing on scholarship in law, geography, philosophy and politics, Antonia Layard considers how, both formally and formally, law operates in the fixing of borders that both protect and exclude. Centred upon four legal case studies – on public space; housing regulation; rules on the manifestation of religion; and geographic indications in intellectual property law – the book pursues a critical geographical consideration of how place is integral to ideas about identity, belonging and territory. It will be of much interest to critical legal geographers and socio-legal scholars, as well as planning, environmental, intellectual property, housing and land use lawyers.

Balancing Protection and Exclusion

Law, Place and Maps

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

With the promise of greater efficiency and effectiveness, public authorities have increasingly turned to algorithmic systems to regulate and govern society. In Algorithmic Rule By Law, Nathalie Smuha examines this reliance on algorithmic regulation and shows how it can erode the rule of law. Drawing on extensive research and examples, Smuha argues that outsourcing important administrative decisions to algorithmic systems undermines core principles of democracy. Smuha further demonstrates that this risk is far from hypothetical or one that can be relegated to authoritarian regimes, as many of her examples are drawn from public authorities in liberal democracies that are already making use of algorithmic regulation. Focusing on the European Union, Smuha argues that the EU's digital agenda is misaligned with its aim to protect the rule of law. Novel and timely, this book should be read by anyone interested in the intersection of law, technology, and government. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.
