By exploring the historic development of marriage laws and changing relationship norms in England, Qatar and Australia; the legal treatment of religious-only unions in light of the family law regime in each country, and the impact of non-recognition, this book reveals the complexities of the law reform needed to tackle these issues. This examination of the differing outcomes for couples who live in England/Wales where cohabitants have no legal rights, Australia where cohabitants do benefit from some legal protections, and Qatar, a Muslim majority state with a modern family law regime which ordinarily recognises religious marriages provides a broad canvas for exploring this issue in depth. The book looks at this very complex issue from a range of perspectives including autonomy, cultural transitions and legal pluralism. It examines the issue of religious-only marriages in order to convey the complex and interwoven narrative which signifies how multifaceted law reform must be in order to adequately respond to these transitioning relationship norms in any given jurisdiction. Of course, relationship norms are not static and they continue to evolve. In light of changing norms and practices, the theoretical framework for this book focuses on the concept of 'liminality' or transition, which is being witnessed in the processes and formalities by which Muslims are entering their marriages.

Muslim Marriages in Transition

Studies in Private International Law - Asia

This book is the only reference in English on private international law in Uzbekistan. Dispelling a common misconception that the law of ex-USSR countries is largely the same, the book provides an authoritative account of private international law in Uzbekistan, as well as the role the country plays in the harmonisation of private international law in the region and beyond. The chapters provide authoritative guidance on conflict-of-law rules, issues of jurisdiction in contractual and non-contractual matters, as well as the practice and procedure of enforcement of foreign judgements and arbitral awards in Uzbekistan. The book is the first that systematically explores private international law in Uzbekistan and is an essential tool in understanding the peculiarities of the country and their impact on legal practice.

Private International Law in Uzbekistan

This interdisciplinary collection illuminates the religious roots of marriage and divorce in Europe and their divergent history from the 18th century to the present day. The 18th century was a pivotal period in terms of how the rules governing marriage and divorce were determined, with authority to set and adjudicate on rules shifting from religious authorities to the state. This book evaluates these historical developments, paying particular attention to the waxing or waning influence of religious institutions, values, or norms and whether further suggestions for reform have been made. Volume 1 of A History of Family Law in Europe examines how, and the extent to which, marriage formation and dissolution are regulated in the written texts of the Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox traditions. The contributors analyse the respective traditions' teachings on marriage formation, marital impediments, and dissolubility, including these traditions' views as to the socially binding character of these teachings. Jurisdiction-specific chapters focusing on countries across Northern, Central, Southern, and Eastern Europe examine the regulation of marriage formation and dissolution in the context of religious and other cultural influences. This book brings together the insights of an international team of leading marriage-law scholars across Europe, and will be a significant resource for scholars of family law, legal history, and the history of religion.

Palgrave Studies on Sentencing

This edited collection provides an international collection of essays addressing the most important challenge confronting courts in all jurisdictions, common and civil law: how can we restrict the use of imprisonment to avoid unnecessary human and fiscal costs? Different court systems have devised a range of approaches but few have worked. This book&nbsp;represents no fewer than 12 jurisdictions&nbsp;including both civil and common law countries and includes chapters from legal scholars and philosophers and empirical researchers. This book speaks widely, given the interest in the use of custod, and the pressing need to reduce prison costs.

International Perspectives on Structuring and Restricting the Use of Imprisonment

Who Goes to Prison?

This open access book introduces the first systematic approach to the debate on the unity or fragmentation of practical reasoning and its profound implications for legal philosophy. Bringing together some of the foremost legal philosophers from the Hispanic-Latin world, the book presents a thoughtful dialogue with the Anglo-American literature, making it of interest to scholars from both cultural traditions. Although the topic is rarely discussed explicitly and systematically, it is pivotal to ongoing debates about legal normativity, the nature of law, legal authority, and the rationale behind legal decisions. This book fills this gap by providing a comprehensive perspective that illuminates the intersections between the philosophy of law and the philosophy of practical reasoning. It analyses law from the perspective of the agent and offers deep insights into critical issues in the field of law. The volume is divided into four parts. The 1st part addresses the question of the nature of reasons and the unity of practical and theoretical reasoning. The 2nd part deals with the question of whether practical reasoning works in a unified or fragmented way. The 3rd section examines the autonomy of legal normativity in relation to morality and other normative domains. In the 4th and concluding section, the authors analyse the implications of the thesis of the unity of practical reason for legal decision-making and the authority of law. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Law and the Unity of Practical Reasoning

India Studies in Business and Economics

This book provides a comprehensive perspective by taking an interdisciplinary approach to issues of attaining SDGs in India. It starts with policy priorities and opportunities for interlinking of different SDGs with sustainable industrial transformation. Subsequently, various chapters present a blend of analytical methods that are primarily rooted in economics and yet have an inter-disciplinary approach, highlighting pathways towards achieving SDGs, especially SDG1, SDG2, SDG3, SDG4, SDG10, SDG11, SDG13, and SDG15. Gender equality and empowerment of women is a common cross-cutting issue across all three themes towards achieving SDG targets. Chapters are divided into three themes climate change, health and nutrition, and poverty and inequality, with a special chapter devoted to each theme providing the overall picture. The book’s content is a great resource for students, researchers, policymakers, and development practitioners studying these SDGs related to India as the country moves forward on its growth path.

Challenges and Way Forward

SDGs Amidst Multiple Global Shocks

This book discusses some of the most important issues facing administrative law and related doctrines. Leading public law scholars from across the common law world have contributed chapters to recognise the exceptional scholarship and career of Matthew Groves, Distinguished Professor at Deakin University, Australia. Over the last century, the power of the administrative state has grown immensely and the scope of administrative law as a field of inquiry has grown with it. This collection of essays provides an up-to-date analysis of some of the most important issues in administrative law in the 2020s, including: access to justice issues; the role, purpose and future of ombuds institutions and tribunals; government liability within and beyond judicial review; integrity bodies; 'lawfare'; the role of policies in government decisionmaking; and the tension between military and civilian systems of justice. These topics have been central to the work and career of Matthew Groves. Readers interested in public law - whether practitioners, researchers or students - will discover a wealth of engaging and thought-provoking considerations of the most topical current issues in administrative law by a selection of prominent academics.

Oñati International Series in Law and Society

This edited collection explores the question of how those with limited capacity are enabled to take their part as members of society within the context of both a legal framework and the expectations of their family and community. The book is divided into three parts, firstly looking at the current legal position on incapacity in a number of jurisdictions. It discusses the recent European project FLEUR, and the associated debates developing around whether legislation dealing with incapacity should aim to support or control the vulnerable person. Secondly, the book looks at the experience of families with vulnerable members. Chapters examine developments in Australia, Spain, Bulgaria and Argentina, while part three looks at France, Turkey, Canada, the Netherlands, Poland and Ukraine. It asks questions such as: What are the contemporary demands for full financial protection by the state in the Netherlands? What can happen in an emergency? How did the Polish system provide for the needs of refugees in wartime, in the case of the recent flight from Ukraine into Poland? An important dimension is added to the debate, asking how we can provide support and control within a social network or group whose members have different aims and needs in a family or a community.

Incapacity and Access to Family Justice

People with mental illnesses in the United States are 10 times more likely to be incarcerated than hospitalized. In fact, seventy percent of individuals in jail in the United States have a serious mental illness, a substance use disorder, or both. After confronting the failures of our criminal justice system first-hand, Miami-Dade County (Florida) Judge Steven Leifman realized that for the system to improve, a radical change was necessary. In 2000, he created Florida’s 11th Judicial Circuit Criminal Mental Health Project, later renamed to the Jail Diversion Project (JDP), which has since become the most impactful model for prison reform in the country and garnered international accolades. Complete Justice reveals Judge Leifman’s courageous and visionary efforts to successfully overhaul and restructure Miami-Dade’s mental health and criminal justice systems. The results were nothing short of miraculous. Arrests were cut in half, the jail audit was reduced by almost half, police shootings almost stopped, and the county was able to close one of its three main jails at a savings of millions of dollars. Best of all, his results are replicable and scalable. Leifman has created a state-of-the-art, transferable model, the “Miami Model,” that is starting to be applied around the country in communities large and small. This highly successful initiative, consisting of both pre-arrest and post-arrest diversion programs, brings together the resources and services of law enforcement, the justice system, and community stakeholders to divert individuals with mental illnesses who commit low-level offenses away from incarceration and into community-based care. Starting with a trip to a psychiatric wing of a Florida jail at age 17, through his early missteps as a young judge bumping up against convoluted the mental health legislature, the formation of the JDP and monumental report on Florida’s mental health system, and finally spotlighting courts across the country adopting his program, Leifman’s inspiring work offers kindness, insight, and real solutions to one of America’s most complex social problems.

Ending the Criminalization of Mental Illness

Complete Justice

Written by leading practitioners in the field, this book provides a coherent framework for understanding the principles of sports law. The subject is split into various areas of practice. First regulatory rules, which embrace the constitutional aspect of organised sport including the disciplinary procedures of the various sport governing organisations. Second, broadcasting and marketing resulting from the commercial exploitation, including sponsorship, of sports clubs, sporting events and players. Third, player's rights and obligations which embraces a wide range of legal issues including club transfers and player contracts, and issues arising from employment (including discrimination law), personal injury and criminal law. Special attention is paid to the impact of EU and Human Rights law as well as to the influential jurisprudence of the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Written by an expert team, including the father of sports law, Michael Beloff QC, this is required reading for all those practising in the field.

“…this edition is hugely well researched, equally well written and provides a holistic approach to the wide-ranging elements that comprise an ever-increasing and ever more popular specialist area of the law…What sets this publication apart from its competitors is the very essence that the reader is benefiting from the duality both of the collective knowledge and hands-on experience of the authorship in all aspects. A considered group opinion is thus put forward and is notably refreshing in the process…It is thoroughly enriched by being logical, intuitive, engagingly written and, above all, insightful…Practitioners, academics and sports administrators alike, cannot fail to be impressed and now everyone concerned in sports law has at their fingertips a handbook they can treat as a working bible. We cannot commend it highly enough.” – Mel Goldberg, International Sports Law Review, Issue 4

“Any lawyer interested in the field of sports law should have the Second Edition of Sports Law to hand; its lucid, comprehensive yet concise exposition of the relevant jurisprudence is as invigorating as a cold blast of fresh air in a sweaty workout. It reads like a good opinion, in which the author has mastered his subject and speaks authoritatively, with the answer and reasoning set out clearly and understood...Sports Law is written with intellectual rigour combined with a zest for the subject matter. The four authors bring a diversity of juridical backgrounds that instills a breath of vision into the analysis. If you are a busy practitioner looking for the "answer" to a sports law problem, this is the textbook; if you are an academic searching for some underlying principles and theories, there is plenty for you too.” – Tim Lord QC, Counsel Magazine

“One of the many strengths of this book is its concision and good English. It is well bound, clearly and comprehensively footnoted and with full case indices at the beginning. It is easy to read ... Any law firm or sports organisation which has sports legal issues arising from time to time would find this book a very useful addition to library shelves. The authors have struck a lovely balance between in-depth knowledgeable commentary but presented in a way the busy lawyer can understand. It will be my first port of call from now on for any sports law question.” – Susan Singleton, IT Law Today

Palgrave Socio-Legal Studies

This book examines the relationship between LGBTIQ communities and law in Australia from colonial times to the present day, with a particular concentration on the last 40 years. Using a socio-legal analysis that combines legislation, case law, media reports, policy materials and government data, it traces the historical shift from criminalisation and erasure to conditional legal recognition. The book develops a critical queer perspective, analysing how sexual and gender minorities moved from being classified through the figure of the criminal ‘homosexual’ to being recognised as members of LGBTIQ communities with a status of almost legal equality. Structured historically, its chapters examine distinct phases of legal reform, governance and LGBTIQ activism. The book covers key issues in sexuality, gender, family, embodiment and sex classification, while offering an extended account of the legal questions affecting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer people. Although focused on Australia, it speaks to wider debates across post-colonial jurisdictions, Commonwealth countries and the United States. It will be of interest to students and academics in socio-legal studies, queer legal theory, sexuality and gender studies, law reform, and LGBTIQ politics and activism.Allen George
