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.

"The intervention of States in legal proceedings touches upon some of the most beguiling questions in international dispute settlement. These include questions of treaty interpretation, obligations erga omnes, the sources of judicial power and rulemaking, the nature of incidental proceedings, the Monetary Gold doctrine of indispensable parties, cross-fertilization between judicial and arbitral bodies, and principles of jurisdiction, party autonomy, and res judicata. As jurists and scholars tend to address these questions in isolation, however, each development in third-State practice has raised unimagined issues of first impression-such as the 2022 statement of dozens of States exploring mass intervention before the International Court of Justice in Ukraine v. Russia, and the participation of neighbouring States without China's presence in the 2016 South China Sea arbitration. By applying conceptual, comparative, and historical approaches to international justice, this book instead offers a uniquely holistic assessment of the practice and prospective development of intervention"--

In England & Wales, every criminal case starts in a magistrates' court, and most end there. Last year, the 14,000 magistrates dealt with almost 1.4 million cases.But, what exactly does a magistrate do, who are they, and how are they recruited and trained? Are they out-of-touch and unrepresentative, or still fit for purpose with a role to play in today's increasingly sophisticated and complex judicial system?The Secret Magistrate takes the reader on an eye-opening, behind-the-scenes tour of a year in the life of an inner-city magistrate. Chapters cover a variety of cases including the disqualified driver who drove away from court, the Sunbed Pervert, and Fifi the Attack Chihuahua.The Secret Magistrate is an inner-city magistrate who has sat on the bench for several years, and who has strong views on the role of magistrates within the Criminal Justice System. All names have been changed to protect both the innocent and the guilty.Foreword by Malcolm Richardson OBE [Chair, Magistrates Association, 2015-17]

Many important opinions have been 5-to-4 split decisions. If nine of the best legal experts in the country cannot agree on what a statute or regulation means, how are average Americans to understand the law?!Chief Justice Roberts stated, "my job is to call balls and strikes." No, it's not! Not in a Free Republic! Justice Bradley understood, "It is the duty of courts to be watchful for the constitutional rights of the citizens, and against any stealthy encroachments [by Congress and Government.]" Three simple rule changes just might begin the process of restoring freedom.

Mediation – ret og rammer, 3. udgaveMediation er – i modsætning til retssagsbehandling – en frivillig proces, hvor en neutral tredjeperson, en mediator, hjælper personer eller virksomheder i konflikt til selv at nå frem til tilfredsstillende løsninger gennem en særlig procesledelse. Mediation har i de sidste 20 år haft en positiv udvikling som konfliktløsningsmodel i Danmark.Mediation er i dag et reelt alternativ til den mere traditionelle behandling af konflikter. Derfor bør særligt mediator, men også mediationens andre aktører, kende til mediationens retlige og etiske grænser. Der er ikke lovgivet om mediation, men der er en vifte af lovregler og andre regelsæt, der er relevante ved mediation.Bogen beskriver de mange forskellige regler, der kan have berøring med mediation, heraf både vedrørende mediationens tilrettelæggelse og gennemførelse, men også de omkringliggende begrænsninger i form af krav til god mediationsskik, uafhængighed, fortrolighed og efterfølgende fuldbyrdelse af den aftale, som ofte er resultatet af mediationen.Nyt i 3. udgaveDenne udgave af bogen udkommer 10 år efter anden udgaven. Der er derfor foretaget en ajourføring af stoffet, indarbejdet ny relevant praksis og tilføjet henvisning til ny litteratur. Bogen indeholder endvidere et kapital med status på mediation anno 2022.MålgruppeBogen henvender sig til jurister og andre, der beskæftiger sig med mediation, men den kan læses af alle med interesse for mediation. Det anvendte sprog gør bogen læsevenlig ­– også de steder hvor juridiske emner behandles.Om forfatterneLars Økjær Jørgensen og Martin Lavesen er begge advokater og mediatorer.

The United States Supreme Court is commonly thought to be an institution far removed from American public opinion. Yet nearly two-thirds of modern Supreme Court decisions reflect popular attitudes. Comparing over 500 Supreme Court decisions with timely nationwide poll questions since the mid-1930s, Thomas R. Marshall shows that most Supreme Court decisions agree with poll majorities or pluralities across time and across issues and often represent Americans' views to the same degree as federal policymakers. This book looks beyond the litigants, economic interests, social movements, organized interest groups, or units of governments typically involved and instead examines how well the Court or the justices represent Americans' views. Using nationwide public opinion, broken down by key subgroups, race, gender, education, and party affiliation, better describes exactly whom Supreme Court decisions and the justices' individual votes best represent. His book will be of interest to scholars in political science, legal studies, history, and sociology.

In recent years, the justices of the Supreme Court have ruled definitively on such issues as abortion, school prayer, and military tribunals in the war on terror. They decided one of American history's most contested presidential elections. Yet for all their power, the justices never face election, and hold their offices for life. This combination of influence and apparent unaccountability has led many to complain that there is something illegitimate-even undemocratic-about judicial authority.In The Will of the People, Barry Friedman challenges that claim by showing that the Court has always been subject to a higher power: the American public. Judicial positions have been abolished, the justices' jurisdiction has been stripped, the Court has been packed, and unpopular decisions have been defied. For at least the past sixty years, the justices have made sure that their decisions do not stray too far from public opinion.Friedman's pathbreaking account of the relationship between popular opinion and the Supreme Court-from the Declaration of Independence to the end of the Rehnquist Court in 2005-details how the American people came to accept their most controversial institution and, in so doing, shaped the meaning of the Constitution.
