Arguing with Tradition is the first book to explore language and interaction within a contemporary Native American legal system. Grounded in Justin Richland's extensive field research on the Hopi Indian Nation of northeastern Arizona--on whose appellate court he now serves as Justice Pro Tempore--this innovative work explains how Hopi notions of tradition and culture shape and are shaped by the processes of Hopi jurisprudence. Like many indigenous legal institutions across North America, the Hopi Tribal Court was created in the image of Anglo-American-style law. But Richland shows that in recent years, Hopi jurists and litigants have called for their courts to develop a jurisprudence that better reflects Hopi culture and traditions. Providing unprecedented insights into the Hopi and English courtroom interactions through which this conflict plays out, Richland argues that tensions between the language of Anglo-style law and Hopi tradition both drive Hopi jurisprudence and make it unique. Ultimately, Richland's analyses of the language of Hopi law offer a fresh approach to the cultural politics that influence indigenous legal and governmental practices worldwide.

Sandra Day O'Connor, America's first woman justice, was called the most powerful woman in America. She became the axis on which the Supreme Court turned, and it was often said that to gauge the direction of American law, one need look only to O'Connor's vote. Drawing on information gleaned from once-private papers, hundreds of interviews, and the insight gained from nearly two decades of covering the Supreme Court, author Joan Biskupic offers readers a fascinating portrait of a complex and multifaceted woman?lawyer, politician, legislator, and justice, as well as wife, mother, A-list society hostess, and competitive athlete. Biskupic provides an in-depth account of her transformation from tentative jurist to confident architect of American law.

Biographies, with portraits or photographs, of every Justice appointed to the Court since its inception.

Master's Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Law - Comparative Legal Systems, Comparative Law, grade: 5, , language: English, abstract: This study aimed at assessing the potential of IPRs as a tradable commodity with emphasis on copyright, to improve Ghanäs economy through job creation, employment and wealth generation. Specifically, the study assessed the working knowledge of selected copyright holders on IPRs in Ghana, the level of compliance of the copyright law, the extent to which copyright protection and enforcement can inure to the benefit of copyright holders in Ghana and the willingness of copyright holders to promote the use of copyright institutions. It also determined the value of direct employment generated by copyright in Ghana. The study utilized both qualitative and quantitative sources of data. These were obtained through interviews with various key personnel of various institutions, organizations and government departments whose work and users relates directly to IPR and Copyrights regulations and policy in Ghana. Secondary data was similarly collected from these institutions. It was concluded that the level of copyright IP and awareness was not up to the level expected especially in enforcement of the copyright law. Even though it was established that there was some level of copyright awareness among Ghanaians, particularly students, infringements of the existing copyright laws were higher and compliance through enforcement of the copyright laws by the law enforcement agencies was urgently necessary.Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) have assumed various roles in the knowledge-based economies by acting as incentives to invent and innovate. They have also become a tool for ensuring equitable and fair utilization of genetic resources. Given these roles, individuals and firms increasingly continue to seek protection for their intellectual property rights to increase their competitive advantage, protect their markets and to prevent competitors from taking undue advantage of their inventions/innovations.

Contributions from members of the German Association for Comparative Law will be among the papers presented at this summer's twentieth International Congress of Comparative Law, to be held for the first time in Asia at Fukuoka, Japan, in July. In a strong range of topics, one focus during the six-day congress will be on questions of multiculturalism and language that concern both comparative law methodology and other legal fields such as family law. Further dealt with will be matters particularly relevant to consumer protection, ranging from choice of court agreements to price control in contracts, duty of information, the regulation of crowd-funding, as well as leisure and travel contracts. Another focus will be on digitalisation's far-reaching economic, societal and legal implications, with questions of data protection in the realm of comparative law accentuated by contributions on the right to be forgotten or current national legal orders. Overall, the volume will reflect the present state of discussions within German jurisprudence.

The legal framework is an essential instrument in modern rule-of-law societies for defining standards of societal life. Of course, ways of governance by law may vary between legal systems and cultures, but in the analysis of legal governance instruments, the interplay between substantive standards and their procedural enforcement is always of central importance. In the pursuit of certain political or social goals, a legal system is basically faced with two options: the exertion of influence on the behaviour of its citizens either by means of preventive or of reactive instruments. The relationship of these two regulatory tools is a key element for the analysis and understanding of a legal system.

Zum WerkThe Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch in the version as from 2 January 2002 is the very backbone of German civil law. Its institutions and principles are essential for the understanding of the law of Europe's major legal systems.In its first edition, this article-by-article commentary covers books 1 to 3 of the code, i. e. General Part, Law of Obligations, Law of Things. The commentary takes into account all the changes up to December 2018 and provides a consolidated version of the BGB.The commentary of each article is headed by the current version of the article both in the German original and an English translation followed by a clearly and uniformly structured analysis of the provision. Focus is laid on the understanding of the meaning of the provision in the context of the code and the proper use of the terminology both in German and English. As the meaning of the BGB does not always follow from the wording of its provisions, especially if translated into another language, they need further explanation. Taking into account the origin of the BGB in 19th century Germany and the difficulties inherent in any legal translation, the proper use of terminology is the real challenge of the commentary.Facing this challenge, the commentary meets the expectations both of German and foreign lawyers by providing the proper terminology and explanation in English to lawyers and translators and by offering a systematic overview on the BGB to lawyers who are not very familiar with the German civil law.Vorteile auf einen Blick- Article-by-Article Commentary- in English language- clearly and uniformly structured analysis of each provisionZielgruppeFor German and foreign lawyers.

Björn P. Ebert analyses forum shopping in international investment law. He focuses on investment treaty and investment contract arbitration, and concludes that forum shopping is legal and legitimate as long as it is not subject to particular limitations derived from applicable law. He assumes that forum shopping is generally a legitimate procedural technique that both parties to the dispute may employ in order to maximise the protection offered to international investment by international law. To validate the underlying thesis, the author analyses and differentiates between different manifestations of forum shopping. The main manifestations are categorised in three categories: forum planning, forum enhancement, and facilitation of procedure. Each category contains different forum shopping techniques. Björn P. Ebert examines and defines limitations for each category, as well as the manifestations of forum shopping that are assigned to them. He thereby addresses several issues of international investment arbitration that are essential to the perceived problem of forum shopping.

In vielen Staaten bezieht die öffentliche Hand zur Erfüllung von Aufgaben der Daseinsvorsorge auch private Unternehmen ein. Azar Aliyev untersucht den Konzessionsvertrag als ein Instrument solcher öffentlich-privater Partnerschaften im russischen und kasachischen Recht. Konzession ist in beiden Staaten gesetzlich als Vertrag über Errichtung, Modernisierung, Betrieb und Rückübereignung von öffentlichen Infrastrukturobjekten durch Private definiert. Ebenso wie in Deutschland spielen dabei Privatrecht und öffentliches Recht zusammen; allerdings liegt der Schwerpunkt der Diskussion in den untersuchten Staaten anders als in Deutschland nicht im Verwaltungs-, sondern im Privatrecht.Die Arbeit diskutiert die Konzession auch als Mittel, im Kontext eher labiler juristischer Infrastruktur "Inseln der Stabilität" für langfristige und komplexe Großprojekte zu schaffen. Dabei werden viele Grundsatzfragen des Zivilrechts sowie des Wirtschaftsprivat- und Wirtschaftsverwaltungsrechts aufgegriffen und analysiert.

På vej hjem fra en middag med sine advokatkollegaer bliver Ernst Hvidkilde involveret i en trafikulykke med dødelig udgang. Hvidkilde er netop blevet udnævnt til højesteretsdommer, og for at beskytte sin karriere og sit ægteskab beslutter han at lyve for både politiet og sin kone. Men et vidne har filmet ulykken, og snart begynder Hvidkilde at modtage anonyme trusler. Få dage efter findes højesteretssagfører Mogensen myrdet i det såkaldte 'Advokatværelse' i Højesteret, hvor kun advokater og retsbetjente har adgang. Mistanken retter sig straks mod advokat John Anderson, der repræsenterer Mogensens modpart i en stor sag om kopivarer - selv samme sag som højesteretsdommer Ernst Hvikilde snart skal dømme i. At der er en forbindelse mellem de to sager, er kriminalpolitiet ikke i tvivl om. Men ingen i det lukkede og ind­spiste advokatmiljø har tilsyneladende nogen interesse i at medvirke til opklaringen. "Hæderværdige Højesteret" går i bogstaveligste forstand bag kulisserne på det danske retsvæsen og giver et fascinerende indblik i en verden, hvor sandheden kan gradbøjes, og private moralbegreber må vige for økonomiske hensyn.

How much of our work can we leave to the robots?This is the essential and basic question facing the legal profession and the society in general after robots (i.e. automation, artificial intelligence, machine learning and other sophisticated technologies) have made their way into the sphere of the legal world. But before we can answer the basic question, we need to understand what it means to practice law - a practice we take for granted without a true understanding of what we really do. In a way, the robots may work as a mirror, showing us, what it ultimately means to practice law.As one of the first books in this area, ”Robots Entering the Legal Profession” seeks to explore the fundamental questions to be considered both by legal tech providers and legal service organizations (law firms, businesses, public authorities and courts) and the society as a whole, when developing and using robots in the legal profession.The book starts out by setting the scene and creating the relevant concepts (”building blocks”), and then heads on to discuss the strategic, practical, ethical and commercial questions related to the use of robots in the legal profession. Based on these discussions, the fundamental question on how much work can be left to the robots, will be tentatively answered, and a new approach to the design of the man-machine interface will be presented, including a comprehensive catalogue of suggested items to be addressed, when developing or using robots in the legal profession.This book is not only written for lawyers and the IT-industry dealing with software targeted at the legal profession. It is also highly relevant for businesses (e.g. banks and insurance companies), public authorities, politicians and citizens having a stake or an interest in the rapid developments, which are about to happen in the area of legal tech.About the authorNiels Chr. Ellegaard is a private practicing lawyer and partner with the Danish law firm Plesner, and he is specialized in technology law (with a focus on IT). He graduated from the University of Copenhagen in 1996, and he has, alongside with his work as a practicing lawyer, earlier in his career worked as external lecturer in the field of legal philosophy at the University of Copenhagen.
