"How is it that a great swath of the independent, English-speaking Caribbean continues to accept the judicial oversight of their former colonizer via the British institution of the Privy Council? And what possibilities might the Caribbean Court of Justice (a judicial institution responsive to the region, not any single nation) offer for untangling sovereignty and regionhood, law and modernity, and postcolonial Caribbean identity? Joining the CCJ as an intern, Lee Cabatingan studied the work of the Court up close: she attended each court hearing and numerous staff meetings, served on committees, assisted with the organization of conferences, and helped to prepare speeches and presentations for the judges. She now offers insight into not only how the Court positions itself vis-à-vis the Caribbean region and the world, but also whether the Court (and, perhaps, the region itself as an overarching construct) might ever achieve a real measure of popular success. In their quest for an accepting, eager constituency, the Court is undertaking a project of extra-judicial region-building that borrows from the toolbox of the nation-state. In each chapter, Cabatingan takes us into an analytical dimension familiar from studies of nation and state-building-myth, territory, people, language, and brand-to help us understand not only the Court and its ambitions, but also the regionalist project, beset as it is with false starts and disappointments, as a potential alternative to the sovereign state"-- Provided by the publisher.

"The Research Handbook on Law and Courts provides a systematic analysis of new work on courts as governing institutions. Authors consider how courts have taken on regulating fundamental categories of inclusion and exclusion, including citizenship rights. Courts' centrality to governance is addressed in sections on judicial processes, sub-national courts, and political accountability, all analyzed in multiple legal/political systems. Other chapters turn to analyzing the worldwide push for diversity in staffing courts. Finally, the digitization of records changes both court processes and studying courts. Authors included in the Handbook discuss theoretical, empirical and methodological approaches to studying courts as governing institutions. They also identify promising areas of future research."-- Provided by publisher

• Introduction
• Profiles : three late medieval law courts
• Legal space
• The rituality of court practice
• Legal text and social context
• Court and society : the production and consumption of justice
• General conclusion.

"Late medieval societies witnessed the emergence of a particular form of socio-legal practice and logic, focused on the law court and its legal process. In a context of legal pluralism, courts tried to carve out their own position by influencing people's conception of what justice was and how one was supposed to achieve it. These "scripts of justice" took shape through a range of media, including texts, speech, embodied activities and the spaces used to perform all these. Looking beyond traditional historiographical narratives of state building or the professionalization of law, this book argues that the development of law courts was grounded in changing forms of multimedial interaction between those who sought justice and those who claimed to provide it. Through a comparative study of three markedly different types of courts, it involves both local contexts and broader developments in tracing the communication strategies of these late medieval claimants to socio-legal authority"-- Provided by publisher.

"The Tudor and Stuart inns of court were major centres of learning and literature, as well as professional associations of practising lawyers. This book sketches the evolution of the inns from their medieval origins and traces the dramatic impact of the societies' rapid expansion through the Elizabethan era and beyond. Prest's comprehensive study based on original sources surveys the structure and functions of the inns, outlining key aspects, from tensions between junior and senior members to the nature and effectiveness of their educational role. Its lively prose locates the inns within the cultural, political, religious, and social context of Shakespearean and pre-civil war England. This corrected and revised second edition of a classic work addresses recent scholarship on the early modern inns of court and includes a new chapter introducing the book to 21st-century readers"-- Provided by publisher.

"The book provides a very short, but complete introduction to the institutions and people, the rules and processes, that make up the American judicial system. Jargon free and aimed at a general reader, it explains the where, when, and who of American courts. It also makes clear the how and why behind the law as it affects everyday people. It is, in a word, a starting place to understanding the third branch of American government at both the state and the federal levels, a guide to those wishing to know the basics of the American judicial system, and a cogent synthesis of how the various elements that make up the law and legal institutions fit together"-- Provided by publisher.

"This book discusses the overall development and use of smart courts from the perspective of system-of-systems engineering (SoSE) and its methodology, analyzes the relationships between the components, structures, environments, and functions of various systems, and illustrates the basic approaches to system design, specification, integration, operation and management. As the general introductory book of the China Smart Court Development Series, this book provides an overview of the development of Chinese people's courts in the application of information technology over the past two decades and outlines the key areas of exploration in the Smart Court SoSe project centered on the development practices during the 13th Five-Year Plan period. It also forecasts the future development and evolution of the smart court information system. The key topics introduced in the book, including the overall design of complex information systems, integrated interconnection networks-based system integration, judicial big data quality control and analytics services, various types of AI-enabled judicial services, quality and efficiency-oriented operation and maintenance services for large-scale information systems, etc., all came from the basic research of information science and theories, as well as the systems engineering practices of the Smart Court SoSe project. They not only reflect the latest findings on systems engineering and architecture methods in China and overseas, but also reveal many innovative approaches to SoSE methods and paradigms, which can be used for the design and continued development of smart courts at a new and higher starting point. It is believed that they can also serve as good examples and reference points for the development in IT application and complex information systems engineering in other sectors"--$ Back Cover.

• Why courts need to be redesigned
• What courts actually do
• Triage : separating cases by processing required
• The adversary process
• The dispositional process
• Administrative processing
• Treatment-focus : problem solving proceedings
• Implications of the problem solving approach on court reform
• Case triage strategies in action
• Implementing the vision of a modern court.

In their timely and topical book, Reimagining Courts, Victor Flango and Thomas Clarke argue that courts are a victim of their own success. Disputes that once were resolved either informally in the family or within the community are now handled mainly by courts, which strains government agency resources. The authors offer provocative suggestions for a thorough overhaul of American state and local courts, one that better fits the needs of a twenty-first century legal system. Reimagining Courts recommends a triage process based upon case characteristics, litigant goals, and resolution processes.

"Souvent mal nommée - " Cour européenne de justice ", " justice européenne " -, parfois placée à Bruxelles ou confondue avec la Cour européenne des droits de l'homme, la Cour de justice de l'Union européenne (CJUE), qui siège à Luxembourg, ponctue par ses arrêts la vie des presque 450 millions d'habitants de l'Union. Beaucoup la considèrent comme la " Cour suprême " de l'Union et la comparent à celle des Etats-Unis d'Amérique.0La ville de Paris peut-elle valablement réglementer les locations " Airbnb ? Apple doit-elle rendre les aides fiscales reçues de l'Irlande ? Un italien peut-il venir se faire soigner en France ? Comment les producteurs de Morbier peuvent-ils protéger leur appellation d'origine ? La Pologne respecte-t-elle les principes de l?État de droit ? Un couple d'homosexuels doit-il être assimilé à un couple d'hétérosexuels ? Voilà qui donne une idée de la diversité des questions posées à la CJUE, mais aussi de l'emprise du droit de l'Union européenne sur notre vie quotidienne.0Juge à la Cour de justice depuis quatorze ans, après un avoir été référendaire il y a trente ans, Jean-Claude Bonichot est bien placé pour expliquer son rôle et son influence. Mais surtout l'auteur a voulu nous faire pénétrer dans cet univers juridique et social multinational et multilingue : compétences, traditions, mode de fonctionnement interne - l'auteur nous fait pratiquement assister à un délibéré - la Cour devient transparente comme doivent aujourd'hui, pense-t-il, l'être les grandes institutions publiques"-- Provided by publisher

"Since its first publication in 1991, The Hollow Hope has spurred debate and challenged assumptions on both the left and the right about the ability of courts to bring about durable political and social change. What Gerald N. Rosenberg argued then, and what he confirms today through new evidence in this edition, is that it is nearly impossible to generate significant reforms through litigation: American courts are ineffective and relatively weak, far from the uniquely powerful sources for change they are often portrayed to be. This third edition includes new data and a substantially updated analysis of civil rights, abortion rights and access, women's rights, and marriage equality. Addressing changes in the political and social environment, Rosenberg draws lessons from the re-segregation of public schools, victories in marriage equality, and new obstacles to abortion access. Through these and other cases, the third edition confirms the power of the book's original explanatory framework and deepens our understanding of the limits of judicial action in support of social reform, as well as the conditions under which courts do produce change. Up-to-date, thorough, and thought-provoking, The Hollow Hope remains vital reading"-- Provided by publisher

"Living with the Law explores the marital disputes of Jews in medieval Islamic Egypt (1000-1250). Examining the rich documents of the Cairo Geniza, a unique repository of discarded paper discovered in Cairo synagogue, the book recovers the life stories of Jewish women and men working through their marital problems at home, with their families, in the street of old Cairo and in Jewish and Muslim courts. Despite a voluminous literature on Jewish Law, the everyday practice of Jewish courts has only recently begun to be investigated systematically. The experiences of those in legal, social and cultural disadvantage allow us to go beyond the image propagated by legal institutions and offer a view "from below" of Jewish communal life and Jewish law as it was lived"-- Provided by publisher

It is widely recognised that international order is undergoing transformative change and the old norms no longer apply. This collection looks at how the EU, specifically its judicial wing, is responding to these new challenges. It looks both externally at those internationally shared problems of unequal societies, the rise of populism and the migrant crisis and internally at Brexit, the differences between the EU centre and peripheries and the division of competences. Taking a multifaceted approach, it draws on voices from academia and the judiciary to suggest how the EU might respond effectively to the challenges faced.

Drawing on hundreds of newly released judicial archives and court cases, this book analyzes the communist judicial system in China from its founding period to the death of Mao Zedong. It argues that the communist judicial system was built when the CCP was engaged in a life-or-death struggle with the GMD, meaning that the overriding aim of the judicial system was, from the outset, to safeguard the Party against both internal and external adversaries. This fundamental insecurity and perennial fear of loss of power obsessed the Party throughout the era of Mao and beyond, prompting it to launch numerous political campaigns, which forced communist judicial cadres to choose between upholding basic legal norms and maintaining Party order. In doing all of this, The Communist Judicial System in China, 1927-1976: Building on Fear fills a major lacuna in our understanding of communist-era China.

What is the relationship between the strength of a country's democracy and the ability of its courts to address deficiencies in the electoral process? Drawing a distinction between democracies that can be characterised as 'dominant-party' (for example Singapore, Malaysia, and Hong Kong), 'dynamic' (for example India, South Korea, and Taiwan), and 'fragile' (for example Thailand, Pakistan , and Bangladesh), this book explores how democracy sustains and is sustained by the exercise of judicial power. In dominant-party systems, courts can only pursue 'dialogic' pathways to constrain the government's authoritarian tendencies. On the other hand, in dynamic democracies, courts can more successfully innovate and make systemic changes to the electoral system. Finally, in fragile democracies, where a country regularly oscillates between martial law and civilian rule, their courts tend to consistently overreach, and this often facilitates or precipitates a hostile take-over by the armed forces, and lead to the demise of the rule of law.

• L'intégration par la légitimation de leurs fonctions juridictionnelles

"La construction communautaire en Afrique, saisie par le juge, constitue une véritable avancée. La mise en place de cours de justice a imprimé aux organisations d'intégration africaine (CAE, CEDEAO, CEMAC, COMESA, SADC, UEMOA) une nouvelle physionomie marquée par le respect du droit et de la légalité. Ces juridictions sont conçues pour accompagner les processus communautaires en contribuant à l'élimination des entraves aux objectifs d'intégration. Par le biais de leurs jurisprudences, caractérisées par une prééminence de la protection des droits de l'homme et une indigence du contentieux des libertés économiques, les cours de justice africaines, assument une mission de "gardiennes des objectifs d'intégration". L'intervention du juge a permis de préciser le champ de compétence des institutions et de structurer les principes essentiels du droit de l'intégration même si certaines voies de droit demeurent inusitées. En outre, l'expansion du contentieux des droits de l'homme devant les prétoires des juges révèle une tendance lourde en faveur de la protection de la personne humaine avec des approches différentes. L'affirmation des cours de justice et la légitimation de leurs fonctions juridictionnelles se voient tempérées par la résistance États membres. Mais, cela n'empêche pas la manifestation de la montée en puissance du juge communautaire africain dans un contexte d'étincelle contentieuse des droits de l'homme. Ainsi, l'œuvre jurisprudentielle scrutée montre que les cours de justice africaines ont contribué, de manière ambivalente, et déterminante à l'intégration africaine."-- Page 4 of cover

Courts without Borders is the first book to examine the politics of judicial extraterritoriality, with a focus on the world's chief practitioner: the United States. For much of the post-World War II era, the United States has been a frequent yet selective regulator of activities outside its territory, and US federal courts are often on the front line in deciding the extraterritorial reach of US law. At stake in these jurisdiction battles is the ability to bring the regulatory power of the United States to bear on transnational disputes in ways that other states frequently dislike both in principle and in practice. This volume proposes a general theory of domestic court behavior to explain variation in extraterritorial enforcement of US law, emphasizing how the strategic behavior of private actors is important to mobilizing courts and in directing their activities.

"Power, Constraint, and Policy Change analyzes state court influence on state education finance reform. Beginning in the early 1970s litigants began filing suits in state courts to change state education funding in order to prevent disparities in education resources between wealthy and poor communities. These cases represent a fundamental policy debate in American society, pitting the importance of education against the cost and method of funding it. Through education finance, the authors explore how and why courts often end up determining and resolving policy funding debates. Education funding has involved both the federal constitution and state constitutions, as well as legislation and court-mandated remedies, which, ultimately, determine who and how we pay for this critical American value."--Ebook Central
