Cases and Materials on International Law
de
Martin Dixon; Robert McCorquodale
International law is a crucial part of national and international affairs in the 21st Century as the process of globalisation proceeds rapidly. This was shown most starkly in the responses to the events of September 11 2001. The book is a vital tool to understand and analyse these affairs. This is a fully revised edition that includes recent materials on: international economic law, such as the responses to the "anti-globalization" protests; the regulation of the use of force, including actions in Afghanistan; the territorial administrations by the UN, as in East Timor; the increasing developments in international human rights law, such as the coming into force of the International Criminal Court and national human rights legislation; the clear obligations on States under international environmental law; and the role of non-state actors in the international community.

An Introduction to Law
de
Phil Harris
Fully updated to incorporate all developments in the law since the last edition, this student text places emphasis on an understanding of the law and the legal system as living institutions within society. It also deals with how an appreciation of the rules and legal structures both reflect and influence changes in social, economic and political life.
Learning Legal Rules
de
James A. Holland; Julian S. Webb
Among the many new skills law students have to acquire, using legal materials and solving legal problems are possibly the most important. It was with this in mind that the authors wrote this book which could be used to support a course of study in legal method, or be used as a self-teaching guide to the subject. The aim of the authors has been to bring together the theory, structure and practice of legal reasoning in a readily accessible style. The book explains how to uncover and exploit the mysteries of legal materials. This is then used to draw the student into the techniques of legal analysis and argument and the operation of precedent and statutory interpretation. Each chapter includes practical self-testing exercises designed to support the text. Throughout the book the authors also examine the permeating influence of EC law and the legal method employed by the Continental legal systems. This edition incorporates additional material on legal research and has been updated to take account of the Human Rights Act 1998.

GCSE law /

Procedural agreements constitute a nebulous concept situated at the intersection of civil procedure law and private law, between the public sphere of the formal justice system and the private sphere of contract law. This book employs a broad definition of procedural contracts: what matters is not the legal categorisations but the procedural effects of the contract or agreement. While procedural agreements were earlier rejected with few exceptions, notably choice-of-court and arbitration agreements, a shift towards more permissive views has occurred in recent years. Based on reports covering 20 jurisdictions in the Americas, Asia, and Europe, this book examines procedural contracts, the variation in the extent to which they are given procedural effects, the types of issues that the parties are allowed to agree on, the limits of such agreements, and the manifest and tacit arguments for and against them. The special national reports discuss the legal framework of such contracts, be it statutory law, case law or general principles of law, and how procedural contracts are understood in legal doctrine. Many of them address the issue of whether there is a gap between the general, often restrictive, attitude towards procedural agreements and legal practice that recognises, at least some, procedural contracts beyond jurisdiction and arbitration clauses. Common types of procedural contracts, specifically, jurisdictions agreements, agreements on mediation, interim measures, the form of proceedings, costs, and appeals, are examined. Moreover, this book also discusses agreements relating to evidence, such as the burden and the standard of proof, access to evidence and the appointment of experts. Some of the reports identify additional types of procedural agreements. The special national reports shed light on the limits to procedural agreements, particularly those aiming to protect weaker parties, such as consumers and tenants, and third-party and public interests, and those posed by constitutional principles, notably access to court and fair trial rights. The rapporteurs also assess whether and how attitudes and practices related to procedural agreements are shifting. In addition to a comparative overview, the general report traces the nexus between the underlying civil procedure system, the beliefs it is embedded within, the arguments used to support or oppose such agreements, and the rules and practices regarding procedural agreements. The links between the contractualisation of civil proceedings and the related phenomena of ‘consensualisation’, flexibilisation and fragmentation are also explored.

A Critical Introduction to Law
de
MANSELL
The orthodoxy as to what must necessarily be an introductory book has traditionally included a description of the institutions of the law. an explanation of the methods of the law and some consideration of legal principles and rules. The danger with this approach is that it tends to perpetuate the myth of legal objectivity and political neutrality. The approach of this book is to attempt to understand the role of law in the wider world rather than simply in its own terms. Law is considered as ideology and as politics. and a political critique of law's role in facilitating a capitalist world is presented.

The purpose of this book is twofold. First, it enables the student who has made some progress with studying contract law to revise the main points of a particular area in an easily digestible way. It should be of particular help to the student who finds that the mass of detail contained in some textbooks makes it difficult to identify the most important principles and essential cases. Secondly, it teaches, by illustration, the skills needed to write good answers to contract questions.

An Introduction to Comparative Law first appeared in two volumes in 1987. Volume I discussed the nature of comparative law and then concentrated on a survey of the main features of the major groupings of the world's legal systems. Volume II focused on contract, tort, and unjust enrichment as major departments of private law. Now published for the first time in paperback, the two volumes have been combined into one to provide a comprehensive guide to the relationship between the world's legal systems.
J Is for Junk Economics
de
Michael Hudson
J IS FOR JUNK ECONOMICS is an A-to-Z guide that explains how the world economy really works - and who the winners and losers are. The book includes more than 400 concise and acerbic entries, several essays, and a full topic index. Expanding on KILLING THE HOST: HOW FINANCIAL PARASITES AND DEBT DESTROY THE GLOBAL ECONOMY, Prof. Hudson's new book covers contemporary terms that are misleading or poorly understood as well as many important concepts that have been abandoned - many on purpose - from the long history of political economy. Two key concepts are RENT THEORY and DEBT, which explain how Unearned Income and the Financial Sector impoverish governments and populations the world over as power and riches flow upward into the hands of the few. Several additional essays provide background for key points and explore today's uncertain political and economic environment. To understand what's really going on, it's not necessary to re-invent the wheel; the major issues that guide healthy economies were known to the Ancients and were expanded upon by the classical economists of the 18th and 19th centuries, including Adam Smith, David Ricardo, John Stuart Mill, E. Peshine Smith, Simon Patten, Karl Marx, Thorstein Veblen, and others of many political stripes whose aim was to leave the brutal legacy of feudalism behind. Their ideas and principles are brought back into the spotlight here. It is hoped that this book will deconstruct today's "value-free," watered-down and deceptive economics that favor the wealthy, allowing the next generation to create a successful economy with proper checks and balances that will benefit everyone. This is a book you will want to refer to again and again.

de
Inns of Inns of Court School of Law
The writing of opinions is an important part of the practice of most independent practising barristers. The Manual takes a systematic approach in covering the essential elements of the skill of opinion writing. Good writing and the use of Plain English are considered first. The Manual then covers analysis of the issues in the case and the planning the structure of the opinion. Particular attention is given to considering matters which students of academic law will not have addressed in the necessary detail (or at all), such as the importance of advising on practical matters such as evidence and procedure. Chapters are particularly devoted to taking students with an academic background through a rigorous approach to analysing a brief and showing them how to apply their knowledge of the law. The Manual includes a selection of sample opinions written for various purposes by practising barristers.
