Law touches every aspect of our daily lives, and yet the main concepts, terms, and processes of the legal system remain obscure to many. This Very Short Introduction, in its third edition, provides a lucid, accessible guide to modern legal systems, considering a number of social and political events that have had an impact on the law.

In der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts entwickelte der kubanische Dichter und Revolutionär José Martí (1853-1895) vor dem Hintergrund unermüdlicher (und nicht immer freiwilliger) Reisebewegungen ein profundes Verständnis der welthistorischen Bedingungen seiner Zeit, die ihn zum großen Denker der Globalisierung werden ließen. Auf der Grundlage des ersten Teiles dieser Monographie zur Geschichte seiner Rezeption (José Martí. Teil I: Apostel - Dichter - Revolutionär. Eine Geschichte seiner Rezeption, 1991) entfaltet dieser zweite und abschließende Teil ein Verständnis jener spezifischen Bedingungen, die es erlaubten, dass José Martí wie kein zweiter Philosoph oder Schriftsteller seiner Zeit mit den Mitteln der Literatur die dritte Phase beschleunigter Globalisierung entschlüsselte. Es war dies die im letzten Drittel des 19. Jahrhunderts angesiedelte Phase, in deren Verlauf die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika zum Global Player aufstiegen und zu einer unmittelbaren Gefahr für die Insel Kuba wurden, für deren politische Unabhängigkeit von Spanien sich der kubanische Essayist ohne Rücksicht auf sein eigenes Leben einsetzte. Martí betrachtete diese Entwicklungen gleichsam von innen aus einer mobilen New Yorker Perspektive und konzipierte zugleich ein neues Zukunftsbild der Moderne, das Kuba, Lateinamerika und die USA in weltumspannenden Zusammenhängen sah. Die beiden Teile dieser Martí-Monographie sollen ein lebendiges Bild dieses ungeheuer agilen und weitsichtigen Dichters des hispanoamerikanischen Modernismo entwerfen, das die gängigen Muster und Positionen der Marti-Forschung überschreitet. Teil I ist 1991 als Band 10 der Mimesis-Reihe erschienen: https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/9783110960877/html Das Buch erscheint pünktlich zum Geburtstag von José Martí.

In the course of the 20th century, Latin Americans had to face an increasing United States influence in the Americas. They have asked themselves what this development might lead to. From 1898 to the present the concept of North Americanization has been hotly debated in the region. The term has many different meanings in the Latin American societies, meanings that have changed over time and that reflect the differences in gender, social class, and ethnic background. After September 11, 2001 these discussions have gained new relevance due to the rapidly changing international agenda. This volume assembles an interdisciplinary set of important contributions to crucial aspects of North Americanization in Latin America. Addressing categories such as culture, gender, and nation the articles provide new approaches to the study of inter- and trans-American relations in the twentieth century from the perspectives of historians, anthropologists, sociologists, and American studies scholars.

The legal profession needs more than law. Whether you are a student, a law school, a university, a law firm or an in-house legal team, The Legal Team of the Future is the definitive guide to understanding and building the holistic skills required of those working in legal services now and in the future. Highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary teams working collaboratively to solve legal problems, the book introduces a 'Law+' model for the profession, comprising sixteen skills across four quadrants: Law+People, Law+Business, Law+Change and Law+Technology. As well as outlining each of the skills, the book explains how to build those skills as an individual, a law firm, an in-house team, a university or a law school. Designed for both lawyers and business professionals working in law, The Legal Team of the Future dispels the myth that the 'lawyer of the future' is solely responsible for the future of the profession, instead focusing on diverse individuals working within their own specializations. The Law+ model is more than an academic theory, containing real-world examples and case studies and devised by an expert in legal innovation who is still working in the field on a daily basis. This book is the guide you need to navigate the future of the legal profession and to stay ahead of the pack in delivering legal services to clients.

This is the Secret Barrister at their very best.__________Just how do you become a barrister? Why do only 1 per cent of those who study law succeed in joining this mysteriously opaque profession?

"Four years before Nina Totenberg was hired at NPR, where she cemented her legacy as a prizewinning reporter, and nearly twenty-two years before Ruth Bader Ginsburg was appointed to the Supreme Court, Nina called Ruth. A reporter for The National Observer, Nina was curious about Ruth's legal brief, asking the Supreme Court to do something revolutionary: declare a law that discriminated "on the basis of sex" to be unconstitutional. In a time when women were fired for becoming pregnant, often could not apply for credit cards or get a mortgage in their own names, Ruth patiently explained her argument. That call launched a remarkable, nearly fifty-year friendship. Dinners with Ruth is an extraordinary account of two women who paved the way for future generations by tearing down professional and legal barriers. It is also an intimate memoir of the power of friendships as women began to pry open career doors and transform the workplace. At the story's heart is one, special relationship: Ruth and Nina saw each other not only through personal joys, but also illness, loss, and widowhood. During the devastating illness and eventual death of Nina's first husband, Ruth drew her out of grief; twelve years later, Nina would reciprocate when Ruth's beloved husband died. They shared not only a love of opera, but also of shopping, as they instinctively understood that clothes were armor for women who wanted to be taken seriously in a workplace dominated by men. During Ruth's last year, they shared so many small dinners that Saturdays were "reserved for Ruth" in Nina's house. Dinners with Ruth also weaves together compelling, personal portraits of other fascinating women and men from Nina's life, including her cherished NPR colleagues Cokie Roberts and Linda Wertheimer; her beloved husbands; her friendships with multiple Supreme Court Justices, including Lewis Powell, William Brennan, and Antonin Scalia, and Nina's own family--her father, the legendary violinist Roman Totenberg, and her "best friends," her sisters. Inspiring and revelatory, Dinners with Ruth is a moving story of the joy and true meaning of friendship"--

Dieses Buch gibt einen Überblick über die institutionelle und intellektuelle Entwicklung der Soziologie in Brasilien von den frühen 1900er Jahren bis heute, über Militärputsche, Diktaturen und Demokratien hinweg. Es zeichnet den tiefgreifenden Einfluss der Soziologie auf das öffentliche Leben Brasiliens nach und zeigt, wie sich die Umwälzungen in der Geschichte des Landes und seiner Universitäten auf die wissenschaftliche Agenda ausgewirkt haben. Diese fesselnde Darstellung verdeutlicht das Ausmaß des kolonialen Erbes der Disziplin, ihre frühe Institutionalisierung in São Paulo und ihren kongruenten Aufstieg und Fall während wiederholter Regimewechsel. Die Analyse der Autoren stützt sich auf Originaluntersuchungen, die die Konzentration von Forschungsinteressen, neuen Entwicklungen, Publikationen und Produktionszentren in der brasilianischen Soziologie anhand qualitativer und quantitativer Daten kartieren. Das Buch schließt mit einer Reflexion über die möglichen Auswirkungen der jüngsten rechtsextremen Wende in der brasilianischen Politik auf die Zukunft der Disziplin. Es leistet einen wertvollen Beitrag zur Geschichte der Soziologie und richtet sich an Sozialwissenschaftler sowie an Wissenschaftler, die sich mit disziplinärer Geschichtsschreibung, Geistesgeschichte und brasilianischer Geschichte befassen.

This catalogue features Maxwell Alexandre's "Pardo é Papel" series.The artist has claimed his spot as one of the most notable young artists emerging from Brazil. Up until 2017, he was a professional skater, yet an introduction to contemporary art while studying design at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro completely changed his trajectory. He presented his first solo show in 2018. Alexandre draws inspiration from his daily experiences in his hometown, Rocinha (Rio de Janeiro's largest favela)-from children playing to interactions with the police. He often paints on unconventional materials, opting for brown paper, iron doors, or windows rather than a traditional canvas. His large-scale paintings call attention to the vibrancy of youth culture, showing stylish young figures posing for mirror selfies, or couples getting their hair done while sharing a cigarette.Text: Maxwell Alexandre

Dieses Buch bietet eine umfassende Darstellung der Entwicklung der Soziologie in Argentinien von Mitte der 1950er Jahre bis zur Gegenwart und zeichnet den bewegten Werdegang der Disziplin und ihre enge Beziehung zum breiteren (und turbulenten) argentinischen politischen und wirtschaftlichen Kontext nach; es liefert ein dramatisches Beispiel für die Politisierung und Polarisierung eines akademischen Feldes und deren Folgen. Das Buch ist in sieben Kapitel unterteilt und untersucht die sehr unterschiedlichen Phasen, die die Disziplin durchlaufen hat: von den Pionierjahren der 1950er Jahre, in denen die Soziologie als "Wissenschaft" präsentiert wurde, über die aktivistische Revolte in den 1960er Jahren, angeführt von der Studentenbewegung, bis hin zu den traumatischen Erfahrungen der 1970er Jahre, als eine grausame Diktatur errichtet wurde und viele Soziologen verfolgt wurden; von der allmählichen Erholung in den 1980er Jahren bis hin zu ihrer gegenwärtigen wachsenden (wenn auch instabilen) Präsenz innerhalb der akademischen Welt sowie in staatlichen Behörden, Unternehmen und Beratungsagenturen und Nichtregierungsorganisationen. Dieses Werk richtet sich an Sozialwissenschaftler und Studenten, die sich für die Beziehungen zwischen Wissenschaft und Politik interessieren, sowie an eine allgemeine Leserschaft, die sich für die jüngere Geschichte Argentiniens und Lateinamerikas interessiert.

The author received the coveted Root Tilden scholarship at New York University Law School graduating in 1964. This is his story of how he ended up learning to practice law in a Colorado hard rock mining town.

This book examines access to justice in summary criminal proceedings by considering the ability of defendants to play an active and effective role in the process.'Access to justice' refers not just to the availability of legally aided representation, but also to the ability of defendants to understand and effectively participate in summary criminal proceedings more generally. It remains a vital principle of justice that justice should not only be done, but should also be seen to be done by all participants in the process.The book is based on socio-legal research. The study is ethnographic, based on observation conducted in four magistrates' courts in South East England and interviews with both defence lawyers and Crown prosecutors.Setting out an argument that defendants have always been marginalised through particular features of magistrates' court proceedings (such as courtroom layout and patterns of behaviour among the professional workgroups in court), the political climate in relation to defendants and access to justice that has persisted since 2010 has further undermined the ability of defendants to play an active role in the process.Ultimately, this book argues that recent governments have demanded ever more efficiency and cost saving in criminal justice. In that context, principles that contribute to access to justice for defendants have been seriously undermined.

You know I never saw an officer, an EMT, a fireman or an ER crew ask anyone what their politics were, and then refuse to care for them because of their answer. The color of skin pigment, the last name, the amount of money in a bank account, none of that mattered. All that mattered was someone needed help, and they had the skills as well as the burning desire to do so. Yes, they are only human and internally flawed and prejudiced as any other. But their true nature, their crowning glory in mortal life, is their ability to rise above those flaws and prejudices when called upon. In a world of hungry, destructive wolves, they stand as the sheepdog who serves and protects the flock.
