Rob George: Wards of Court and the
Inherent Jurisdiction

Wards of Court and the Inherent Jurisdiction

This work adds an important new dimension to the literature on the Caribbean Court of Justice and on regional integration courts generally. Part I focuses on the operation of the CCJ itself, whilst Part II provides a comparative study of the CCJ and four other regional courts.

The EEA Agreement extends the four freedoms (persons, goods, services and capital) to Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. It provides for equal conditions of competition and abolishes discrimination on grounds of nationality. The EFTA Court, celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2024, has jurisdiction over parties to the Agreement. This jurisdiction corresponds to that of the Court of Justice of the European Union over EU Member States in matters of EEA law. This collection of essays, written by members of the Court and external experts, reviews the successes and shortcomings of the Court, its interface with EU law, and its future development.

This book offers a broad and systematic introduction to the study of miscarriages of justice by defining them and examining the dimensions, forms, and scale of the problem. The work examines the causes in detail with reference to key cases while also exploring official and unofficial responses. The book's discussion of how specific cases and campaigns have acted as drivers for change in relation to policy, practice and legislation aims to minimize future miscarriages of justice. The final chapters of the book apply a comparative approach, comparing the experiences of England and Wales to those of the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand and France.

Miscarriages of justice and their causes are an endemic part of criminal justice systems the world over. This book offers a broad and systematic introduction to the study of miscarriages of justice by defining them and examining the dimensions, forms, and scale of the problem. The work examines the causes in detail with reference to key cases while also exploring official and unofficial responses. It presents an evaluation of varied perspectives on recognising and rectifying miscarriages of justice, and considers debates concerning Innocence projects, family campaigns and technical fault in the justice process versus innocence as desirable mechanisms for scrutinising justice flaws. The book’s discussion of how specific cases and campaigns have acted as drivers for change in relation to policy, practice and legislation aims to minimize future miscarriages of justice. The final chapters of the book apply a comparative approach, comparing the experiences of England and Wales to those of the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand and France, thus providing an international perspective on the subject.This book will be an essential reference for students, researchers, practitioners and policy-makers working in the area of criminal justice.

Miscarriages of Justice in Contemporary Context

"A prizewinning historian uncovers the first instances of reparations in America, paid to slaveholders, not former slaves"--

A prizewinning historian uncovers the first instances of reparations in America—ironically, though perhaps not surprisingly, paid to slaveholders, not former slaves

 In 1831, the American ship Comet, carrying 165 enslaved men, women, and children, crashed onto a coral reef near the shore of the Bahamas—then part of the British Empire—where slavery had been outlawed. Shortly afterwards, the Vice Admiralty Court in Nassau, over the outraged objections of the ship’s owners, set the rescued captives free. American slave owners and the companies who insured the liberated human cargoes would spend years lobbying for reparations, not for the emancipated slaves, of course, but for the masters deprived of their human property.
 In a work of profoundly relevant research and storytelling, historian and Bancroft Award finalist Jeff Forret uncovers how the Comet—as well as similar episodes that unfolded over the antebellum era—resulted in the first direct slavery reparations payments made by the U.S. government, establishing a precedent that has never been fully explored. The Price They Paid shows how, unlike their former owners and insurers, neither the survivors of the Comet and other vessels, nor their descendants, have ever received reparations for the price they paid in their lives, labor, and suffering during slavery.
 Any accounting of reparations today requires a fuller understanding of how the debts of slavery have been paid, and to whom. The Price They Paid represents a major step forward in that effort.

Slavery, Shipwrecks, and Reparations Before the Civil War

The Price They Paid

This book considers the governance of autistic defendants and offenders in the UK courts. Utilising the social model of disability, it considers the dominant strategies of governance, including 'vulnerability', which the author argues obscures the rights of disabled people in the criminal justice system. In doing so it sheds light on how this group should be governed. Drawing on rigorously-researched case studies of autistic adult defendants through the court process, the book brings together relevant legal and policy literature, criminological and criminal justice theory and disability studies to provide insight into the 'dividing practices' that affect the governance of disabled defendants' conduct. Using interviews with elites and practitioners, textual analysis, and court observation of eight autistic adult defendants through their court process, the book investigates why the status of autistic defendants as disabled under the Equality Act 2010 has been overlooked in criminal justice policy and criminal court decision-making. It explores the impact of the 'collateral' effects and 'symbiotic harm' of the criminal justice process on family members who support these defendants through the criminal justice process.

The Governance of Autistic Adult Defendants in the English Criminal Justice System

Disabling Criminal Justice

Can you avoid any law you do not consent to? Can you avoid paying taxes by declaring yourself sovereign? Do courts operate under admiralty or maritime law? No. But welcome to the strange world of pseudolaw. This is the first-ever edited volume solely dedicated to examining pseudolaw and its most prominent adherents, sovereign citizens. Drawing on the expertise of judges, criminologists, legal theorists and political sociologists, this collection offers insights into the global growth and alarming adaptability of pseudolaw. While it might be tempting to laugh at the ridiculousness of pseudolaw, it is a serious matter. People who make these claims rob themselves of meaningful legal opportunities and impose great costs to themselves, the administration of justice, and the community. Pseudolaw is also linked to violent extremism and indicative of growing social insecurity. Part I offers ways to analyse and differentiate pseudolaw from other forms of conspiracy ideation and fringe legal interpretation. Part II examines the rise of sovereign citizens and the global spread of pseudolaw. Part III explores contemporary issues arising from pseudolaw, including the rise of far-right extremism, lay-persons in judicial proceedings, fake claims of indigeneity, and fraudulent 'get out of jail' schemes. It concludes by considering how we can respond to this phenomenon.

Pseudolaw and Sovereign Citizens

The chapters collected in this book explore the place and role of judge-made private law in an emerging European polity. Examining case-law from the perspective of different theories and viewpoints, scholars and judges assess and reflect on the role of judges in civil cases for polity-building in Europe. The chapters thus present a kaleidoscopic view on the dynamics of private law adjudication against a European backdrop. The book aims to add a private legal perspective to existing discourses in European constitutional law on Europe's political constellation. It aspires to enrich two debates - the first on the influence of fundamental rights in private legal relations, and the second on the constitutional dimension of European private law. The contributions are placed within a framework of five sub-categories or dimensions of judge-made European private law: politics of European private law adjudication, rights, remedies, representation and reflections of judges on specific cases.

The Politics of Adjudication addresses the pragmatics of legal decision making. This is a question of politics, according to which constitutional law is not, it is argued, the instantiation of timeless and universal principles of governance.
