True Tales of Trying Times by Bob Rains Pdf

Professor Rains provides a humorous collection of modern-day fables based on actual law cases. These tales are for everyone, not just lawyers, but people too. The fables and their accompanying morals offer us ironic views of the illusive quest for justice in the American legal system. As noted by Justice Eakin in his Foreword, these stories all have value, if only as examples of what not to do. The Professor's reporting makes them come alive, giving us a collection reflecting the wide range of predicaments created by the human species and other non-rational creatures. We throw our self-made problems into the judicial cauldron, which often just mixes them up and throws them right back at us. Bob Rains had been practicing law for about a decade when he decided to make the world a better place by 1) - leaving private practice and 2) - creating more lawyers. So now he whiles away his days at a university somewhere in the eastern half of the United States, teaching 'the law' to eager young liberal arts majors who might otherwise be flipping burgers. After many years, he is still trying to understand his fellow members of the legal profession and why they do the things they do. These follies of the legal system, and of those who use and abuse it, are cleverly illustrated by the charming drawings of the creative team of E A Jacobsen. It has been said that the law is only 'common sense, modified by the legislature'. Such an aphorism only covers the statutes. To be comprehensive, some have added 'and as misinterpreted by the courts', ensuring the case law is explained as well. The cases here may or may not belie this, but they certainly reflect the predicaments and quandaries the human species creates and throws upon the legal system. They are spawned by every circumstance and motive from the avaricious to the eleemosynary, and they reflect the resourceful endeavours of lawyers and the system to deal with them.

Engaging with Foreign Law by Basil S Markesinis,Jörg Fedtke Pdf

This book presents a developed theory of how national lawyers can approach, understand, and make use of foreign law. Its theme is pursued through a set of detailed essays which look at the courts as well as business practice and, with the help of statistics, demonstrate what type of academic work has any impact on the 'real' world. Engaging with Foreign Law thus aims to carve out a new niche for comparative law in this era of globalisation, and may also be the only book which deals in some depth with both private and public law in countries such as England, Germany, France, South Africa, and the United States.

Negotiation Theory and Strategy by Russell Korobkin Pdf

Unlike other books that focus on the nuts-and-bolts of the negotiation process, this text’s conceptual approach draws on psychology, economics, and law to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the cognitive and interpersonal underpinnings of negotiation. A total of 21 original negotiation simulations and exercises, with private information for each party, are provided to adopters outside of the text, enable students to apply the lessons of each chapter in context-rich environments in a variety of transactional and litigation settings. New to the 4th Edition: Significant revisions to Chapter 10 (“Gender and Culture”), incorporating the significant amount of scholarship on gender differences in negotiation that has been published in the last decade. Significant revisions to Chapter 14 (“Deceit”), reflecting the burgeoning literature in the field of behavioral ethics. Minor updates and revisions to other chapters. Minor updates to existing simulations and additional new simulations. Professors and students will benefit from: Rigorous, social science-based approach to understanding negotiation as a fundamental process of human interaction. Modular organization, so instructors can choose to assign the chapters in a different order than presented, to better suit their conception of the course without creating undue confusion on the part of students. Each chapter of the book exposes students to challenging theoretical concepts through a combination of narrative material, excerpts of published books and articles, and note material that further explains and builds on points made in the narrative and excerpted sections. The “Discussion Questions and Problems” that end each chapter provide an opportunity for students to explore and apply the reading material in a class discussion format.

Legal Interpretation in International Commercial Arbitration by Joanna Jemielniak Pdf

This book fills a gap in legal academic study and practice in International Commercial Arbitration (ICA) by offering an in-depth analysis on legal discourse and interpretation. Written by a specialist in international business law, arbitration and legal theory, it examines the discursive framework of arbitral proceedings, through an exploration of the unique status of arbitration as a legal and semiotic phenomenon. Historical and contemporary aspects of legal discourse and interpretation are considered, as well as developments in the field of discourse analysis in ICA. A section is devoted to institutional and structural determinants of legal discourse in ICA in which ad hoc and institutional forms are examined. The book also deals with functional aspects of legal interpretation in arbitral discourse, focusing on interpretative standards, methods and considerations in decision-making in ICA. The comparative examinations of existing legal framework and case law reflect the international nature of the subject and the book will be of value to both academic and professional readers.

The Children's Table by Anna Mae Duane Pdf

"This collection brings together an eclectic range of prominent scholars in architecture, education, history, law, literary criticism, and cultural studies to explore how the field of childhood studies questions some of the most basic tenets of humanities scholarship-and to consider how these questions can bridge disciplines. Each essay pairs childhood studies with another field of inquiry to ask explicitly how foregrounding the child reorients long-established scholarly foundations in that field. Childhood studies' insistence that we need to rethink the symbolic work of the child necessarily realigns a host of other fields that, often uncritically, draw upon the false dichotomy separating the vulnerable, dependent child from the allegedly independent and autonomous adult. By complicating our assumptions about the child, we are also providing a new way of thinking through some of the most basic tenets of the humanities. Anna Mae Duane notes that much of the exciting work in the humanities seeks to recover the voices of those who have been infantilized, including women, people of color, and the GLBT community. This volume features thirteen essays by leading scholars who reveal how childhood studies offers a vital methodological and theoretical roadmap for engaging issues that are among the most important and provocative in the humanities-the recovery of colonized voices, the definition of agency, the performance of identity, and the construction of gender and race, to name a few. Each of the essays seeks to understand how rhetorical views of childhood shape views of power, politics, knowledge, and sociality"--

Law, Responsibility and Vulnerability by James Gallen,Tanya Ni Mhuirthile Pdf

This book addresses how law and public policy cause or exacerbate vulnerability in individuals and groups. Bringing together scholars, judges and practitioners, it identifies how individuals and groups can become vulnerabilised through the operation of law, and examines how the State can acknowledge and remedy that impact. The book offers not only a theoretical, ethical and normative conception of vulnerability in law, but also an evaluation of the diverse practices of responding to vulnerability in law through accountability mechanisms and public campaigns. The analysis of vulnerability contained in this volume is enhanced by the common use of Ireland as a case study. Despite the robust rights protections available at national, regional and international level, Ireland remains a State where at risk people have experienced vulnerability across a range of thematic areas, such as criminal law, migration and asylum, historical abuse, LGBTI rights and austerity. Drawing on comparative analyses and a consideration of the role of international law in domestic settings, this book offers a comparison of diverse national and transnational attempts to ensure State accountability and responsiveness to legally created vulnerabilities. The book demonstrates lessons learned from theory and practice regarding how vulnerability can be experienced by individuals and groups, structured by law and addressed through legal and political action. This book will be of considerable interest to socio-legal and "law and society" scholars, as well as others working in international human rights, jurisprudence, philosophy, legal theory, political theory, feminist theory, and ethics.

Classical Rhetoric and Contemporary Law by Kirsten K. Davis,Brian N. Larson,Kristen K Tiscione,Francis J Mootz Pdf

"From the twin birth of western rhetoric and law in the Greek-speaking world in the first millennium BCE, law and rhetoric were deeply connected in the ancient world. In the modern era of legal practice, the clear connections between law and classical rhetoric have largely been lost to both those trained in the law and those who study rhetoric. This interdisciplinary reader reestablishes those lost connections by pairing primary source materials in classical rhetoric and contemporary law. The chapters in this volume show that ancient rhetorical texts can deepen or disrupt contemporary notions about principles that lie at the root of western legal traditions and return to us our past, making it possible for scholars across several disciplines to build on work accomplished centuries before. Broken into four parts, this volume first covers the historical development of rhetoric. In Part Two, volume editor Mootz and scholar David A. Frank look at rhetorical theorists at "bookends" of an era when classical rhetoric was de-valued as a mode of thought. Mootz discusses the hegemonic wave of Enlightenment epistemology that separated law from rhetoric, and Frank shows that where Cartesian rationality fails in the modern era, the humanistic tradition of rhetoric allows law to respond to the needs of justice. Part Three consists of ten chapters that each (1) introduce a classical rhetorical theorist to the reader, (2) provide an excerpt from a text by that theorist, and then (3) demonstrate the relevance of that work to a contemporary court case. Moving from the Sophists, through Aristotle and Plato and their Greek contemporaries, to the Roman rhetoricians Cicero and Quintilian, and finally, to the early medieval rhetorician, St. Augustine, these reprinted classical texts are contextualized by leading scholars in law, classics, and rhetoric, each with probing discussion questions for readers to engage and interact with the materials rhetorically. This vital resource of primary texts demonstrates how rhetoric illuminates the operation of the legal system and reconnects law to its rhetorical roots. Structured for use by scholars in critical inquiry and well suited for use in graduate or law school courses, Classical Rhetoric and Contemporary Law will be of interest to law, rhetoric, English, and communication scholars, and as an interactive catalyst to examine the ways in which ancient rhetorical theory informs our understanding of law practice today"--
