Common Law – Civil Law : The Great Divide?
This book offers an in-depth analysis of the differences between common law and civil law systems from various theoretical perspectives.Written by a global network of experts, it explores the topic against the background of a variety of legal traditions.Common law and civil law are typically presented as antagonistic players on a field claimed by diverse legal systems: the former being based on precedent set by judges in deciding cases before them; the latter being founded on a set of rules intended to govern the decisions of those applying them.Perceived in this manner, common law and civil law differ in terms of the (main) source(s) of law; who is to create them; who is (merely) to draw from them; and whether the law itself is pure each step of the way, or whether the law’s purity may be tarnished when confronted with a set of contingent facts.These differences have deep roots in (legal) history – roots that allow us to trace them back to distinct traditions.Nevertheless, it is questionable whether the divide thus depicted is as great as it may seem: international and supranational legal systems unconcerned by national peculiarities appear to level the playing field.A normative understanding of constitutions seems to grant ever-greater authority to High Court decisions based on thinly worded maxims in countries that adhere to the civil law tradition.The challenges contemporary regulation faces call for ever-more detailed statutes governing the decisions of judges in the common law tradition.These and similar observations demand a structural reassessment of the role of judges, the power of precedent, the limits of legislation and other features often thought to be so different in common and civil law systems.The book addresses this reassessment.

International Law : Our Common Future
International Law: Our Common Future offers a dynamic approach to the study of international law that actively engages students in ways that more traditional textbooks do not.One way this is achieved is by focusing on recent events, including international terrorism, extraordinary rendition, the legality of drone strikes, environmental devastation, and human rights.Another is by having students wrestle with actual court rulings rather than being given short summaries of these decisions.These cases, which are from a wide array of international, regional, and domestic tribunals, are followed by a series of provocative and challenging questions and prompts that will naturally lead to classroom discussion and debate.The book recognizes the importance of visual media in terms of student learning.In addition to photographs of individuals and events that feature prominently in the development of international law, each chapter has sections entitled "International Law at the Movies" which highlight feature films and documentaries that explore the topic at hand.What students will quickly come to realize is that international law is not a distant and abstract entity, but rather, is intimately connected to various aspects of their daily lives.The book shows some of the remarkable changes in international law, most notably the declining importance of the role of the state.As a final point, the book is written in an engaging, almost conversational, style that is accessible to students in a wide array of academic disciplines.FEATURES OF THIS INNOVATIVE TEXT This book is specifically designed to appeal to student interest, to promote active learning, and to integrate carefully edited court cases with explanatory text.Here are just a few of the features devoted to achieving these goals: Boxed text highlighting current events “International Law at the Movies” boxes Photos illustrating key moments and figures in international law Cases carefully edited and set off from the main text Notes and Comments following court case excerpts References for each chapter divided into key types of sources including Books and Articles, Reports, Agreements, and Cases (international, regional, and domestic tribunals) Glossary of key terms putting terms in context with events Filmography Table of Cases with links to original sourcesA NOTE ABOUT THE COVER ART Title: “María, inside since April 14, 2014” Artist: Ben BetsalelThe cover image is from a prison project in Colombia, "Human Beings Inside and Outside," done in collaboration with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).

Historical Foundations of the Common Law
This book is directed at the central difficulty in legal history: one is not reconstructing earlier answers to modern questions, but earlier questions; and they were different in kind.Today we see law as a system of substantive rules which can be explained in textbooks, altered by legislation, and embodied in a restatement or a code.It is somehow separate from society and needs separate adjustment; and there is a simple relationship between legal and other change.If this had always been so, legal and social and economic history would all be easy.They are not. Such a vision comes late in legal developments, and the common law reached that stage only in quite recent times.But ever since an early stage fortune has preserved copious original materials; and we can hope to trace not just the changing arrangements of one society, but the stages through which at least one legal system has passed, the changing ways in which the law itself has been seen.The underlying questions have always been beyond discussion in any practical context.How far are right and wrong man's business rather than God's?How and upon what terms are the resources of creation to be appropriated to individuals?But answers are at any one time assumed, and determine what smaller questions arise as daily business for those concerned with the legal process.It is to the changing nature of those practical questions that this book seeks to reduce the development of each of the main branches of the law.

Vanishing Contract Law : Common Law in the Age of Contracts
English contract law provides the invisible framework that underpins and enables much contracting activity in society, yet the role of the law in policing many of our contracts now approaches vanishing point.The methods by which contracts come into existence, and notionally create binding obligations, have transformed over the past forty years.Consumers now enter into contracts through remote and automated processes on standard terms over which they have little control.This book explores the substantive weakening of the institution of contract law in a society heavily dependent on contracts.It considers significant areas of contracting activity that affect many people, but that escape serious and sustained legal scrutiny.An accessibly written and succinct account of contract law's past, present and future, it assesses the implications of a diminished contract law, and the possibilities, if any, for its revival.

Patent Law, Green Technology and Innovation
In the era of modern industrial regimes, the role of technology in tackling climate change is pivotal.International goals of climate change mitigation and sustainable development cannot be achieved without the contribution of new technologies.At the same time, the importance of patent protection and an efficient patent system that facilitates technology transfer among international frontiers cannot be overlooked.Many patented technologies are either not accessible for further dissemination or do not hold much technical value.Therefore, advanced systems of collaborative innovation have been developed, especially in the sector of green technology and green innovation. The environmental concerns of the global community cannot be tackled by a single company, person, sector or country.Innovation partnerships and collaborative research will play a vital role in combating global climate concerns and in determining the diffusion of green technologies for maximum impact.This book argues that policy-makers should encourage partnerships in technology rather than focusing on gaining investment and access to green technology to encourage global technological giants to transfer their technology and knowledge to local entities.It analyzes the relationship between patent protection, green innovation and diffusion of green technology against the backdrop of climate change and severe climate crisis. Taking an interdisciplinary approach to align patent law and green technology with the Sustainable Development Goals, it examines the effects of patent protection, technology transfer and compulsory licensing on the diffusion of green technologies while offering a systematic analysis of the relationship between patent protection, green innovation and diffusion of green technology from a global perspective.

What happens in the event of a death in a common-law relationship with the in-laws?
In the event of a death in a common-law relationship, the laws regarding inheritance and estate distribution vary by jurisdiction. In some places, common-law partners may have legal rights to inherit from their deceased partner's estate, while in others they may not have automatic rights and may need to prove their relationship in court. If the deceased had a will, the distribution of their estate will be carried out according to their wishes. If there is no will, the laws of intestacy will determine how the estate is distributed, which may or may not include the common-law partner. Involvement of the deceased partner's in-laws will depend on the specific circumstances and the laws of the jurisdiction.
