The Danish Medieval Laws the laws of Scania Zealand and Jutland

The Danish Medieval Laws the laws of Scania Zealand and Jutland

The Danish medieval laws: the laws of Scania Zealand and Jutland contains translations of the four most important medieval Danish laws written in the vernacular. The main texts are those of the Law of Scania the two laws of Zealand – Valdemar’s and Erik’s – and the Law of Jutland all of which date from the early thirteenth century. The Church Law of Scania and three short royal ordinances are also included. These provincial laws were first written down in the first half of the thirteenth century and were in force until 1683 when they were replaced by a national law. The laws preserved in over 100 separate manuscripts are the first extended texts in Danish and represent a first attempt to create a Danish legal language. The book starts with a brief but thorough introduction to the history of Denmark in the thirteenth century covering the country the political setting and the legal context in which the laws were written. There follows the translated text from each province preceded by a general introduction to each area and an introduction to the translation offering key contextual information and background on the process of translating the laws. An Old Danish-English glossary is also included along with an annotated glossary to support the reading of the translations. This book will be essential reading for students and scholars of medieval Scandinavian legal history. | The Danish Medieval Laws the laws of Scania Zealand and Jutland

Policy and Pragmatism in the Conflict of Laws

Policy and Pragmatism in the Conflict of Laws

This title was first published in 2001. After languishing for decades in the domains of rigid doctrinalism and confusing theory the conflict of laws is increasingly being recognized as an important area of law to a global community. To demonstrate its importance Michael Whincop and Mary Keyes transcend the divide between the English pragmatic tradition and the circularity of American policy-based theory. They argue that the law governing multistage conflicts can minimize the social costs of litigation increase the extent of co-ordination facilitate private ordering and limit regulatory monopolies and cross-border spillovers. Pragmatic in outlook and economic in methodology they pursue these themes across a broad range of doctrinal issues and offer valuable links to parallel analyses in domestic contexts. | Policy and Pragmatism in the Conflict of Laws

Reflective Equilibrium and the Principles of Logical Analysis Understanding the Laws of Logic

Reflective Equilibrium and the Principles of Logical Analysis Understanding the Laws of Logic

This book offers a comprehensive account of logic that addresses fundamental issues concerning the nature and foundations of the discipline. The authors claim that these foundations can not only be established without the need for strong metaphysical assumptions but also without hypostasizing logical forms as specific entities. They present a systematic argument that the primary subject matter of logic is our linguistic interaction rather than our private reasoning and it is thus misleading to see logic as revealing the laws of thought. In this sense fundamental logical laws are implicit to our language games and are thus more similar to social norms than to the laws of nature. Peregrin and Svoboda also show that logical theories despite the fact that they rely on rules implicit to our actual linguistic practice firm up these rules and make them explicit. By carefully scrutinizing the project of logical analysis the authors demonstrate that logical rules can be best seen as products of the so called reflective equilibrium. They suggest that we can profit from viewing languages as inferential landscapes and logicians as geographers who map them and try to pave safe routes through them. This book is an essential resource for scholars and researchers engaged with the foundations of logical theories and the philosophy of language. | Reflective Equilibrium and the Principles of Logical Analysis Understanding the Laws of Logic

Tracing British West Indian Slavery Laws A Comparative Analysis of Legal Transplants

Tracing British West Indian Slavery Laws A Comparative Analysis of Legal Transplants

This book provides a legal historical insight into colonial laws on enslavement and the plantation system in the British West Indies. The volume is a work of comparative legal history of the English-speaking Caribbean which concentrates on how the laws of England served to catalyse the slavery laws and also legislation pertaining to post-emancipation societies. The book illustrates how these “borrowed” laws from England not only developed colonial slavery laws within the English-speaking Caribbean but also inspired the slavery codes of a number of North American plantation systems. The cusp of the work focuses on the interconnectivities among the English-speaking slave holding Atlantic and how persons free and unfree moved throughout the system and brought laws with them which greatly affected the various enslaved societies. The book will be essential reading for students and researchers interested in colonial slavery Caribbean studies and Black and Atlantic history. | Tracing British West Indian Slavery Laws A Comparative Analysis of Legal Transplants

Anti-Black Literacy Laws and Policies

Anti-Black Literacy Laws and Policies

A COUNTERNARRATIVE This groundbreaking book uncovers how anti-Black racism has informed and perpetuated anti-literacy laws policies and customs from the colonial period to the present day. As a counternarrative of the history of Black literacy in the United States the book’s historical lens reveals the interlocking political and social structures that have repeatedly failed to support equity in literacy for Black students. Arlette Ingram Willis walks readers through the impact of anti-Black racism’s impact on literacy education by identifying and documenting the unacknowledged history of Black literacy education one that is inextricably bound up with a history of White supremacy. Willis analyzes exposes illuminates and interrogates incontrovertible historical evidence of the social political and legal efforts to deny equal literacy access. The chapters cover an in-depth evolution of the role of White supremacy and the harm it causes in forestalling Black readers’ progress; a critical examination of empirical research and underlying ideological assumptions that resulted in limiting literacy access; and a review of federal and state documents that restricted reading access for Black people. Willis interweaves historical vignettes throughout the text as antidotes to whitewashing the history of literacy among Black people in the United States and offers recommendations on ways forward to dismantle racist reading research and laws. By centering the narrative on the experiences of Black people in the United States Willis shifts the conversation and provides an uncompromising focus on not only the historical impact of such laws and policies but also their connections to present-day laws and policies. A definitive history of the instructional and legal structures that have harmed generations of Black people this text is essential for scholars students and policymakers in literacy education reading research history of education and social justice education. | Anti-Black Literacy Laws and Policies

Religious Offence and Censorship of Publications An Enquiry through the Prism of Indian Laws and the Judiciary

Religious Offence and Censorship of Publications An Enquiry through the Prism of Indian Laws and the Judiciary

This book analyzes the role of laws and the judiciary in the process of censorship in India. It examines the rationales and observations produced by the judiciary when demands for censorship are directed against publications that allegedly offend religious sentiments. Focusing on a micro-level analysis of censorship of publications it presents a hard case to understand the limitations of freedom of expression and the role played by the judiciary in defining its boundaries. The volume traces the evolution of laws governing freedom of expression since the colonial period and the context in which these laws were amended after Independence. It also explicates how the legal process – the structural and functional aspects of working of judiciary – affects the fate of freedom of expression in India. Employing comparative legal analysis it tries to understand and situate the Indian case within the larger discourse of censorship and freedom of expression around the world thereby marking its similarities and differences. In unravelling the politics of censorship the author also examines the interaction among different stakeholders like government non-state actors and the judiciary. A tract for our times this book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of law especially constitutional law and fundamental rights politics especially political theory and Indian politics modern India and South Asian studies. | Religious Offence and Censorship of Publications An Enquiry through the Prism of Indian Laws and the Judiciary

The Philosophy of Mathematics and Natural Laws Another Copernican Revolution

The Philosophy of Mathematics and Natural Laws Another Copernican Revolution

First published in 1997 this title is a sequel to Dr Noel Curran's first book The Logical Universe: The Real Universe (published by Ashgate under the Avebury imprint 1994). The philosophy of mathematics in this book is based on ideas of Sir William Rowan Hamilton on the ordinal character of numbers the real numbers the measure numbers scalar numbers and the extension to vectors. The final extension is to Hamilton’s quaternions. This algebra is interpreted as the mathematics of spin. This led to a a new theory of time and space which is Euclidian. The motion of spin is absolute no frame of reference is required. If time is assumed to have a beginning it would be asymmetric with an arrow. This concept is applied to the laws of nature which are symmetrical. This is another Copernican Revolution in three aspects: absolute time is restored time has an arrow - is asymmetric and thirdly the theory is based on the motion of spin which is absolute and more fundamental than the motion of translation. This opens the way to the final unification of physics. | The Philosophy of Mathematics and Natural Laws Another Copernican Revolution

Corporations Accounting Securities Laws and the Extinction of Capitalism

Corporations Accounting Securities Laws and the Extinction of Capitalism

Ever since Marx the future of capitalism has been fiercely debated. Marx and his followers predicted capitalism will end by violent overthrow while others prophesied its demise will be the result of collapsing under its own weight. Still others argue that capitalism will not only continue to exist but continue to expand globally. This book takes a distinctively different approach by presenting solid evidence that capitalism has already ended. The author argues that corporate statutory law securities laws and generally accepted accounting principles have combined to cause the extinction of capitalists. Without capitalists as owners of capital there can be no capitalism. The book examines the factors that converged to contribute to and hasten the extinction of capitalists and thus of capitalism as an economic system in an ironic case of the law of unintended consequences. The very things that were intended to promote protect and sustain capitalism are the things that caused its death. It exposes the fallacy that capitalism as an economic system not only continues to exist but is expanding globally. Capitalism is extinct and the social system constructed on capitalism as an economic system cannot be sustained. This book will appeal to economists accountants historians political scientists lawyers and sociologists as well as students of those disciplines. | Corporations Accounting Securities Laws and the Extinction of Capitalism

The Science of Higher Education State Higher Education Policy and the Laws of Scale

The Science of Higher Education State Higher Education Policy and the Laws of Scale

Perennial conclusions from state-by-state funding-per-student analyses of underfunding and weak state commitment have become so common that they have diluted the potency of the argument to state policymakers for more higher education funding. In addition there has been little in the way of testing or questioning the assumptions embedded in traditional funding per student analysis and its accompanying conclusions. As state legislators balance the competing needs of education health trans­portation and public safety budgets they increasingly ask what return on investment (ROI) they get for the funding they provide including from higher education. The ROI language while potentially unsettling for its corporate-like and neoliberal connotation will persist into the foreseeable future. We must ask questions both of adequacy (How much funding should the states provide?) and benefit (What benefits do states receive for the higher education funding they provide?). The focus on traditional funding per student analysis has remained static for over forty years indicating the need for new ideas and methods to probe questions of adequacy and benefit. The Science of Higher Education is an introduction to a new paradigm that explores state higher education funding enrollment completion and supply (the number and type of institutions in a state) through the lens of what are commonly known as power laws. Power laws explain patterns in biological systems and characteristics of cities. Like cities state higher educa­tion systems are complex adaptive systems so it is little surprise that power laws also explain funding enrollment completion and supply. The scale relationships uncovered in the Science of Higher Education sug­gest the potential benefits state policymakers could derive by emphasizing enrollment completion or capacity policies based on economies of scale marginal benefits and the return state’s get on enrollment and completion for the funding they provide. The various features of state higher education systems that conform to scale patterns do not alone provide definitive answers for appropriate funding levels however. As this book addresses policymakers need to take into account the macro forces from demography to geography and the economy that situate the system as well the interactions between government and market actors that are at the core of every state higher education system and influence the outcomes it achieves. | The Science of Higher Education State Higher Education Policy and the Laws of Scale

A History of the Roles and Responsibilities of Social Workers From the Poor Laws to the Present Day

A History of the Roles and Responsibilities of Social Workers From the Poor Laws to the Present Day

Tracing the origin of work with the ‘impotent poor’ under the Poor Laws to social workers’ current responsibilities towards vulnerable people this book introduces the reader to the way in which the identification of particular social problems at the end of the nineteenth century led to the emergence of a wide range of separate occupational groups and voluntary workers which were sometimes but increasingly referred to as social workers. Using an extended single chronological historical narrative and analysis which draws heavily on original archival sources and contemporary literature it addresses the changes which took place as part of the welfare state and the identification of common roles and responsibilities by social workers which led to the formation of the British Association of Social Workers in 1970. The expansion of roles and responsibilities in social services departments and voluntary societies is analysed and their significance for the development of social work is evaluated. By highlighting the changes and continuities in these roles and responsibilities this book will be of interest to all academics students and practitioners working within social work who wish to know more about the origins of their discipline and the current state of the profession today. | A History of the Roles and Responsibilities of Social Workers From the Poor Laws to the Present Day

Routledge Handbook of Religious Laws

Routledge Handbook of Religious Laws

Much has been written on specific religious legal systems yet substantial comparative studies that strive to compare systems identifying their analogies and differences have been relatively few. This absence undermines the capacity to understand religions and becomes particularly serious when the faithful of these religions live together in the same geographical space as happens today with increasing frequency. Both interreligious dialogue and dialogue between States and religions presuppose a set of data and information that only comparative research can provide. This book seeks to address this gap in the literature by presenting a comparative analysis of Christian Jewish Islamic and Hindu laws and traditions. Divided into five parts the first part of the book offers the historical background for the legal analysis that is developed in the subsequent parts. Part II deals with the sources of law in the four religions under discussion. Part III addresses the dynamics of belonging and status and Part IV looks at issues relating to the conclusion of marriage and its dissolution. The fifth and final part discusses how each religion views the legal other. Each part concludes with exploring what we can learn from a comparative examination of the topic that is dealt with in that part. Written by leading experts in the field this book presents a clear and comprehensive picture of key religious legal systems along with a substantial bibliography. It provides a state of the art overview of scholarship in this area accompanied by a critical evaluation. As such it will be an invaluable resource for all those concerned with religious legal systems multiculturalism and comparative law. | Routledge Handbook of Religious Laws

Patent Laws for Scientists and Engineers

Patent Laws for Scientists and Engineers

Although many texts attempt to explain intellectual property law to scientists and engineers they are ineffective because they fail to present the subject within the proper scope; they are either too expansive or too detailed for the needs of researchers and inventors. Instead of giving a mile-high view of all types of intellectual property or at the other extreme turning readers into pseudo-patent attorneys Patent Law for Scientists and Engineers provides researchers and students with an understanding of the aspects of patent law necessary to work with patent professionals and enhance patent coverage. The editor has structured the text so it can be easily integrated into a reader's research routine. Each chapter supports the issues discussed with fact patterns that emphasize the steps necessary to protect patent rights. The book describes actual scenarios encountered by scientists and engineers highlighting the protection of latent patent rights that may exist within an invention or technical solution. | Patent Laws for Scientists and Engineers

Plato and the Creation of the Hebrew Bible

Plato and the Creation of the Hebrew Bible

Plato and the Creation of the Hebrew Bible for the first time compares the ancient law collections of the Ancient Near East the Greeks and the Pentateuch to determine the legal antecedents for the biblical laws. Following on from his 2006 work Berossus and Genesis Manetho and Exodus Gmirkin takes up his theory that the Pentateuch was written around 270 BCE using Greek sources found at the Great Library of Alexandria and applies this to an examination of the biblical law codes. A striking number of legal parallels are found between the Pentateuch and Athenian laws and specifically with those found in Plato's Laws of ca. 350 BCE. Constitutional features in biblical law Athenian law and Plato's Laws also contain close correspondences. Several genres of biblical law including the Decalogue are shown to have striking parallels with Greek legal collections and the synthesis of narrative and legal content is shown to be compatible with Greek literature. All this evidence points to direct influence from Greek writings especially Plato's Laws on the biblical legal tradition. Finally it is argued that the creation of the Hebrew Bible took place according to the program found in Plato's Laws for creating a legally authorized national ethical literature reinforcing the importance of this specific Greek text to the authors of the Torah and Hebrew Bible in the early Hellenistic Era. This study offers a fascinating analysis of the background to the Pentateuch and will be of interest not only to biblical scholars but also to students of Plato ancient law and Hellenistic literary traditions.

Protecting Creativity in Fashion Design US Laws EU Design Rights and Other Dimensions of Protection

Exploring the debate over the benefits of legal protection for fashion design this book focuses on how a combination of minimal legal protections for design evolving social norms digital technology and market forces can promote innovation and creativity in a business known for its fast-paced remixing and borrowing. Focusing on the advantages and disadvantages of the main US and EU IP laws that protect fashion design in the world’s biggest fashion markets it describes how recent US case law in copyright and trademark cases has led to misaligned incentives for the industry and a lack of clear protection while in the EU the CJEU’s interpretation of the pan-European design rights system has created significant overlap with copyright law and risks leading to the overprotection of design. The book proposes that creativity and innovation in fashion derive some benefit from a limited unregistered design right protection and that cumulation with copyright protection is unhelpful. It also proposes that there is a larger role for developing social norms relating to sustainability the ethics of cultural appropriation and the online shaming of counterfeiters that can also help create a fair equilibrium between protection and borrowing in fashion design. | Protecting Creativity in Fashion Design US Laws EU Design Rights and Other Dimensions of Protection
