He was educated at Eton and Cambridge, studied at Lincoln's Inn and was called to the bar in 1876. After a few years in practice he returned to Cambridge as Reader in English Law in 1884 and Downing Professor of the Laws of England in 1883, a post he held for the rest of his life. His innovative approach to historical sources had a decisive influence on legal scholarship and the study of medieval history in Great Britain and the United States. vii, 184 pp.

One of the promises of Brexit was to allow the UK to regain its legislative sovereignty from the EU. However, after Brexit, UK data protection law must remain in line with EU standards in order not to lose the adequacy status that allows personal data to be transferred from the EU. This circumstance generates tensions between the EU, which is committed to preserving its digital sovereignty by ensuring an adequate protection of personal data even beyond its borders, and the UK's ambition to become a champion of the digital economy by adopting an innovative and pro-business legislation in the digital field. The book analyses the latest legal and policy developments in this context, focusing on data protection but also exploring its intersection with other related regulatory areas, such as artificial intelligence and online safety. Renowned international experts contextualise current regulatory trends and policy proposals to understand whether a new UK model in the field of digital regulation is emerging and to what extent this will exacerbate existing tensions between the UK and the EU. The book includes an accessible and detailed analysis of the major judicial decisions, laws, and current bills offering an invaluable guide to academics, practitioners, and policymakers navigating the complex issues of cross-border data protection post-Brexit.

This book investigates the commercialisation of celebrity persona in the UK, New York, and California. Interviews with 68 practitioners across the advertising, merchandising, film, and video game industries provide insight on the differences in approaches across jurisdictions, as well as the similarities caused by non-legal factors. Furthermore, the book addresses the developments in technology, social media, and social norms that have made collaboration attractive to maintain favour with fans. The book considers how the extension of passing off in the UK to include persona rights impacts the dispute resolution and transactional spheres involved in the commercialisation of persona. It compares the industry landscape to that of the US where the right of publicity has been recognised since 1953 and has gone as far as to protect 'identity'. The book argues that nonlegal factors significantly impact the commercialisation of persona across the jurisdictions and interact with the law to encourage permission-based behaviours. However, there remains a divergence in the dispute resolution sphere. Anyone who is interested in the multi-million dollar business of celebrities as assets will benefit from this book.

This book discusses the dominant corrective justice and distributive justice approaches to private law and identifies their strengths and weaknesses. It goes on to propose a general approach to private law, including contract, tort and private property, and explains how it can provide solutions to some longstanding problems. Two general ideas inform this approach: the 'standpoint limitation' and 'remedial consistency'. The standpoint limitation explains the distinctive character of private law, that is to say why it is focussed mainly, though not exclusively, on particular individual interests rather than the common welfare. Remedial consistency explains the way in which remedies depend on and give effect to primary rights. The book also discusses the nature of common law legal reasoning and its relationship to the suggested understanding of private law.

This increase in the application of AI within the creative industries can of course enhance human performance while producing creative and commercial challenges for human authors.

Acknowledging the opportunity that AI presents, the book then proposes alternative regulatory mechanisms through which human creativity can be incentivised.This book will appeal to scholars and researchers in the areas of socio-legal studies, intellectual property law, media law, and law and technology.

The effects of US secondary sanctions are broad and are often designed to cripple the target country's economy and currency. Some states have sought to circumvent these sanctions by setting up a special purpose vehicle to facilitate trade and financial transactions with the sanctioned country on humanitarian grounds. Although the nature of these special purpose vehicles is new and experimental, they are little understood, not least how they operate and function in international law. This volume addresses this gap by identifying and examining some of the legal issues that a special purpose vehicle such as the Instrument in Support of Trade Exchanges (INSTEX) generates. The collection brings together leading legal academics, sanctions practitioners and policy experts to provide an assessment of the special purpose vehicle in the context of secondary sanctions in international law. It will be of interest to researchers and academics in International law, Security law, Economic law and Comparative law.

This book offers an innovative perspective on the critical distinction between acts and omissions in criminal law, a distinction that runs like a defining thread through all types of criminal offenses.While any act that positively causes a prohibited harm is sufficient for a conviction, an omission that causes the very same harm warrants a conviction only when there is a legal duty to act. This fundamental distinction between acts and omissions is not just relevant to criminal law, but it is also deeply rooted in our moral thinking. Thus, it is commonly argued that the difference between acts and omissions is also applicable to the intuitive moral distinction between active euthanasia, forbidden in most countries, and passive euthanasia, permitted in many countries under certain circumstances. Hence, the significance of this book is threefold: First, it offers a comprehensive, coherent, and systematic discussion of the intersections between the philosophical-moral and the legal-criminal aspects of this fundamental topic. Second, it offers a novel rationale for the distinction between acts and omissions, based on the principle of autonomy. Finally, it demonstrates the influences of the theoretical discussion, on the most significant practical questions.This book will be of interest to researchers, academics and policy-makers working in the areas of Criminal Law, Moral Philosophy and Bioethics.

This book uses literary examples makes the case for understanding law and the legal system through the lens of philosophical pragmatism.For pragmatists, experience is everything; and they argue against understanding the world through any abstraction, maintaining that it is simply too complicated to fit into categories or theories. Legal pragmatism is the application of this philosophy to the making of law, the practice of law, and the practice of judging. This book maintains that the best way to understand legal pragmatism is not through bare theoretical exegesis but through literature; that is, through stories that cast light on various pragmatic aspects of law. Engaging a range of literary sources, including works by Seamus Heaney, Hilary Mantel, Harper Lee and Ian McEwan, the book makes a compelling case for the contemporary relevance of pragmatism.This book will appeal to legal theorists, law and literature/humanities scholars; readers of literary criticism; and those with interests in pragmatist philosophy.

This book examines jurisdictional differences in the role of the principle of the welfare interests of the child in common and civil law, and focuses on differences within these two legal traditions.By identifying and analysing the functions of the principle both in the public and private sector of family law, the book compares and contrasts different jurisdictions, and assesses their capacity to implement children's welfare interests and rights. Covering a variety of topics including child abuse and neglect, state care, adoption and reproductive rights and family breakdown, the book demonstrates how welfare interests and rights can be balanced to create a coherent framework for family law.In addition to providing an up-to-date digest of cases and legislation, the book will be of interest to researchers in the field of child welfare and family law.

Political participation in Liberia has always been a problem. The involvement of the people in the decision-making process has been one of the major causes of Liberia's political crisis. These problems have persisted since the formative days of the Liberian state that caused changes in governments both violently and in democratic elections. A case study is directed at the National Legislature, in which members of the Legislature and the bureaucracy in legislation are examined to determine the level of involvement of the represented people. It shows the people are unaware of the laws promulgated by their respective representatives and the extent of the nature and context of those laws passed, affecting their lives daily. Consequently, elections of members of the Legislature are expected to be done based on formed policies and issues of national development. The question is whether voting legislators into office is done on informed national policy issues or personal beliefs of the electorates.

Este libro contiene las crónicas constitucionales que el profesor Allan R. Brewer-Carías, fue escribiendo sobre la situación del falso gobierno que se formó en Venezuela entre mayo de 2011, cuando se supo de la grave enfermedad que aquejó al Presidente Hugo Chávez Frías, hasta marzo de 2013 cuando se anunció su fallecimiento; tiempo durante el cual, además de haber sido reelecto Presidente, tuvo que ser sometido a prolongados tratamientos médicos en un hospital en La Habana, donde viajó en varias ocasiones en junio y julio de 2011, y en febrero y marzo de 2012, y finalmente, a partir del 8 de diciembre de 2012, cuando ya nadie más lo volvió a ver vivo en público.Durante las largas semanas de su ausencia del territorio nacional, el Vicepresidente Ejecutivo se negó a suplir la falta temporal del Presidente, y sus Ministros le hicieron creer al país que Chávez seguía ejerciendo sus funciones desde una cama de hospital desde La Habana, y luego desde el Hospital Militar de Caracas, hasta que se anunció su fallecimiento el 5 de marzo de 2013. En ese tiempo, además, la Sala Constitucional del Tribunal Supremo, ante su no comparecencia ante la Asamblea Nacional el 10 de enero de 2013 para el acto de su juramentación como Presidente, decretó la "continuidad administrativa" de su gobierno, como si efectivamente continuaba gobernando el país desde el extranjero. Fueron meses de engaño y manipulación de la Constitución en los cuales se sucedieron los acontecimientos que se comentan en este libro, escrito contemporáneamente, conforme se iban desarrollando los hechos. Después de pasada una década, se publican ahora estas Crónicas como contribución al empeño en preservar la memoria histórica en el país sobre el proceso de destrucción institucional al cual ha sido sometido, con los análisis constitucionales necesarios para la cabal comprensión de lo que realmente ocurrió en Venezuela entre 2011 y 2013, con el establecimiento del bizarro y falso gobierno que se le impuso a los venezolanos, supuestamente comandado por un Presidente postrado en una cama de Hospital en La Habana.

Software ideas are also very valuable. They are used to create new products and services that benefit businesses.It is important to protect software ideas because they are: - The product of ingenuity: Software ideas are the product of the ingenuity of an individual or team.

Copyright protects the expression of ideas, but not the ideas themselves.

The federal game is rigged, and the house always wins. But this isn't a game-it's the harsh reality of a federal justice system weaponized by the government to maintain control and suppress dissent. Federal prosecutors, acting as henchmen for the regime, relentlessly chase convictions with no regard for real justice. Agents of the FBI and other federal law enforcement, emboldened by badges of authority, routinely twist laws to feed the oppressive federal machine. Overburdened federal public defenders are set up to fail by an inherently unequal system stacked against the defendant's interestsArdit Ferizi takes you on a journey through the labyrinth of the U.S. Department of Justice and other federal entities, drawing the curtain to reveal the systemic injustices executed by figures who, cloaked in honor and duty, act as tyrants.

"The Snitch System and Self-Sabotage" section exposes the dangerous game of cooperation and the pitfalls of snitching, which more often than not, fails to yield the promised sentence reductions. In "Surviving and Thriving Post-Sentencing," the focus shifts to life inside the Bureau of Prisons, offering strategies for navigating the system, advocating for rights, and preparing for parole."The Broader Battle" equips you with strategies to build a robust defense, engage public opinion, and initiate legislative changes to fight the systemic corruption.

Assessing the plausibility of the takeover's market efficiency theory, this paper advocates that the current regulatory framework of UK hostile takeovers confers an unfair advantage upon acquirers often at the detriment of the long-term performance of target companies. Driven by the "sacred" concept of shareholder value, the current legal framework has been structurally drafted upon false economic narratives which favor hands-off ownership, short-term myopic decision-making, and militate against investors engaging in the long-term strategy of the British plc. Thereby, sanctioning a financialized form of governance which undermines the importance of corporate stewardship by permitting acquirers to not only impinge upon the interests of target companies but to damage the wider industrial economy in the long-run. Illuminating a wide spanning regulatory vacuum, a fundamental re-investigation of the UK takeover regime is long overdue.
