This book considers the seminal debate in jurisprudence between Ronald Dworkin and Stanley Fish. It looks at the exchange between Dworkin and Fish, initiated in the 1980s, and analyses the role the exchange has played in the development of contemporary theories of interpretation, legal reasoning, and the nature of law. The book encompasses 4 key themes of the debate between these authors: legal theory and its critical role, interpretation and critical constraints, pragmatism and interpretive communities, and some general implications of the debate for issues like the nature of legal theory and the possibility of objectivity. The collection brings together prominent legal theorists and one of the protagonists of the debate: Professor Stanley Fish, who concludes the collection with an interview in which he discusses the main topics discussed in the collection.

"This book offers insight on access to justice from rural areas in internationally comparable contexts to highlight the diversity of experiences within, and across rural areas globally. It looks at the fundamental questions for people's lives raised by the issue of access to justice as well as the rule of law. It highlights a range of social, geographic and cultural issues which impact the way rural communities experience the justice system throughout the world with chapters on Australia, Canada, England, Ireland, Kenya, Nigeria, Northern Ireland, South Africa, Syria, Turkey, the USA and Wales. Each chapter explores three questions: 1. How do people experience the institutions of justice in rural areas and how does this rural experience differ to an urban experience? 2. What impact have changes in policy had on the justice system in rural areas, and have rural and urban areas been affected in different ways? 3. What impact does the law have on people's lives in rural areas and what would rural communities like to be better understood about their experience of the justice system? By bringing in the voices and experiences of those who are often ignored or side-lined by justice systems, this book will set out an agenda for ensuring social justice in legal systems with a focus on protecting marginalised groups"--

In the Fall of 1973, Detective Harvey Schlossberg, PhD, and Lt. Frank Bolz, both New York Police Department (NYPD) visionaries, brought their magic to the San Francisco Police Department's (SFPD) Police Academy, at my request, so that we mere mortals could learn the trade of dealing with terrorists, criminal hostage-takers, and your average human in some sort of mind-bending crisis.It has taken me the bulk of fifty years to put together the teachings of Harvey, Frank, and many, many others (including my own teaching, writing and field experiences) into a three subject treatise called, TACTICS - TEAMS - TALK, Police Managing Crises.The first subject is TACTICS. Here, we outline some basic principles of police crises planning to include strategies; information gathering; establishing objectives, policies, protocols; and resources. Then we outline individual tactics designed to protect responders from harm in their responses.The second subject is TEAMS. Here, we discuss organizing the crisis response into teams. We present a situation chart that identifies team roles, including tactical and command leadership; containment and cover; traffic control; evacuation and aid; entry and rescue; investigations and negotiations; and resources and reserves.The third subject is TALK. Here, we discuss investigating and negotiating strategies; the eight steps of investigating; the role of crisis negotiating; the eight links of a negotiating strategy; the negotiating team; the eight tools of communicating; and several other interesting topics.So, this is my story and I'll be sticking to it, hopefully in plain English and in abbreviated form so we call all understand the processes involved. But before we start, bear with me while I define some terms we will be using throughout our work.

Intended as a training tool for employees, this short but comprehensive manual introduces and explains all the core concepts involved in managing and handling health care information in compliance with HIPAA regulations. Also includes a glossary of HIPAA terms and phrases. Training, in some form, is required under HIPAA regulations, but the rules are vague as to what form that training should take. Training should be provided "as necessary and appropriate for members of the workforce to carry out their functions" (HIPAA Privacy Rule) and covered entities and business associates should "implement a security awareness and training program for all members of the workforce" (HIPAA Security Rule). There is no requirement that calls for video sessions, exams or certificates. Jump-start your HIPAA training program and quickly get to the all-important "good faith effort" benchmark by distributing this manual to employees who handle patient records, scheduling a question-and-answer meeting after they've read the manual, and having them sign and submit the training acknowledgement form included at the back of the book. Retain the acknowledgement forms and a record of the meeting to document your training, as required by HIPAA. If you do not have a comprehensive HIPAA compliance program in place, getting your people through a basic training program and documenting that fact should not be delayed while you develop your policies, procedures and advanced training programs. This manual should not be substituted for a comprehensive ongoing training program where advanced training is provided for company-specific procedures or specific job responsibilities. Please be advised, however, that NO training program, no matter how expensive or extensive, can guaratee that any individual auditor or investigator will approve. your efforts. The regulatory authorities do not license, accredit or certify any trainers or training.
