Assessing Lawyers' Ethics:
A Practitioners' Guide

A Practitioners' Guide
Adrian Evans
Anteprima del libro
Legal practitioners operate in an environment of seemingly endless ethical challenges, and against a backdrop of diminishing public opinion about their morality. Based on extensive research, Assessing Lawyers' Ethics argues that lawyers' individual ethics can be assessed and measured in realistic frameworks. When this assessment takes place, legal practitioners are more likely to demonstrate better ethical behaviour as a result of their increased awareness of their own choices. This book advocates a variety of peer-administered testing mechanisms that have the potential to reverse damaging behaviours within the legal profession. It provides prototype techniques, questions and assessments that can be modified to suit different legal cultures. These will help the profession regain the initiative in ethical business practice, halt the decline in firms' reputations and reduce the risk of state-sponsored regulatory intervention.
Islamic Jurisprudence in the Classical Era
Norman Calder, Colin Imber
Ten years after his untimely death, Norman Calder is still considered a luminary in the field of Islamic law. At the time he was one among a handful of scholars from the West who were beginning to engage with the subject. In the intervening years, much has changed, and Islamic law is now understood as fundamental to any engagement with the study of Islam, its history, and its society, and Dr. Calder's work is integral to that engagement. In this book, Colin Imber has put together and edited four essays by Norman Calder that have never been previously published. Typically incisive, they categorize and analyze the different genres of Islamic juristic literature that was produced between the tenth and fourteenth centuries, showing what function they served both in the preservation of Muslim legal and religious traditions and in the day-to-day lives of their communities. The essays also examine the status and role of the jurists themselves and are to be particularly welcomed for giving clear answers to the controversial questions of how far Islamic law and juristic thinking changed over the centuries, and how far it was able to adapt to new circumstances. In his introduction to the volume, Robert Gleave assesses the place and importance of Norman Calder's work in the field of Islamic legal studies. This is a groundbreaking book from one of the most important scholars of his generation.
The ethos of Europe:
values, law and justice in the EU
Andrew J. Williams
Can the EU become a 'just' institution? Andrew Williams considers this highly charged political and moral question by examining the role of five salient values said to be influential in the governance and law of the Union: peace, the rule of law, respect for human rights, democracy, and liberty. He assesses each of these as elements of an apparent 'institutional ethos' and philosophy of EU law and finds that justice as a governing ideal has failed to be taken seriously in the EU. To remedy this condition, he proposes a new set of principles upon which justice might be brought more to the fore in the Union's governance. By focusing on the realisation of human rights as a core institutional value, Williams argues that the EU can better define its moral limits so as to evolve as a more just project.
Legitimacy and Legality in International Law:
An Interactional Account

An Interactional Account
Jutta Brunnée,Stephen J. Toope
Anteprima del libro
"It has never been more important to understand how international law enables and constrains international politics. By drawing together the legal theory of Lon Fuller and the insights of constructivist international relations scholars, this book articulates a pragmatic view of how international obligation is created and maintained. First, legal norms can only arise in the context of social norms based on shared understandings. Second, internal features of law, or 'criteria of legality', are crucial to law's ability to promote adherence, to inspire 'fidelity'. Third, legal norms are built, maintained or destroyed through a continuing practice of legality. Through case studies of the climate-change regime, the anti-torture norm, and the prohibition on theuse of force, it is shown that these three elements produce a distinctive legal legitimacy and a sense of commitment among those to whom law is addressed"--

Is there a single right interpretation?
Michael Krausz
Anteprima del libro
Is there a single right interpretation for such cultural phenomena as works of literature, visual artworks, works of music, the serf, and legal and sacred texts? In these essays, almost all written especially for this volume, twenty leading philosophers pursue different answers to this question by examining the nature of interpretation and its objects and ideals.
The fundamental conflict between positions that universally require the ideal of a single admissible interpretation (singularism) and those that allow a multiplicity of some admissible interpretations (multiplism) leads to a host of engrossing questions explored in these essays: Does multiplism invite interpretive anarchy? Can opposing interpretations be jointly defended? Should competition between contending interpretations be understood in terms of (bivalent) truth or (multivalent) reasonableness, appropriateness, aptness, or the like? Is interpretation itself an essentially contested concept? Does interpretive activity seek truth or aim at something else as well? Should one focus on interpretive acts rather than interpretations? Should admissible interpretations be fixed by locating intentions of a historical or hypothetical creator, or neither? What bearing does the fact of the historical situatedness of cultural entities have on their identities?

Created equal:
why gay rights matter to America
Michael Nava, Robert Dawidoff
Why should Americans who are not gay care about gay rights? In Created Equal, Michael Nava and Robert Dawidoff argue that the movement for gay equality is central to the continuing defense of individual liberty in America. Beginning with an examination of the determined assault on gay issues by the religious right, the authors show how this sectarian movement to legislate private religious morality into law undermines the purpose of American constitutional government: the protection of the individual's right to determine how best to live his or her life. The book starts from the premise that gay and lesbians are, first and foremost, American citizens, and then looks to what rights belong to every individual American citizen, arguing from the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Addressing their argument to the great majority of their fellow Americans, Dawidoff and Nava emphasize that what is at stake is not the fate of the gay community, but the future of constitutional principle and the rights of free individuals in American society.

Global basic rights
Charles R. Beitz, Robert E. Goodin
Anteprima del libro
Charles R. Beitz, Robert E. Goodin
Anteprima del libro
Politically, as well as philosophically, concerns with human rights have permeated many of the most important debates on social justice worldwide for fully a half-century. Henry Shue's 1980 book on Basic Rights proved to be a pioneering contribution to those debates, and one that continues to elicit both critical and constructive comment. Global Basic Rights brings together many of the most influential contemporary writers in political philosophy and international relations--Charles Beitz, Robert Goodin, Christian Reus-Smit, Andrew Hurrell, Judith Lichtenberg, Elizabeth Ashford, Thomas Pooge, Neta Crawford, Richard Miller, David Luban, Jeremy Waldron and Simon Caney--to explore some of the most challenging theoretical and practical questions that Shue's work provokes. These range from the question of the responsibilities of the global rich to redress severe poverty to the permissibility of using torture to gain information to fight international terrorism. The contributors explore the continuing value of the idea of "basic rights" in understanding moral challenges as diverse as child labor and global climate change.
El Mediterráneo plural en la Edad Moderna
José A. Gonzalez Alcantud, André Stoll
El Mediterráneo ha sido objeto y sujeto de numerosas obras que desde hace siglo y medio al menos, a partir de que irrumpieron en su análisis los saintsimonianos y las ciudades balneario comenzaron a prodigarse, procuraron ofrecernos una imagen amable, de una parte, y conflictiva, de otra, de este mar marcado por la densidad histórica y vital. Uno de los hitos más importantes de ese Mediterráneo intelectual ha sido la obra del historiador francés Fernand Braudel. Éste dedicó su atención al Mediterráneo moderno, el que giraba en torno al rey Felipe II, para comprobar que a pesar de su carácter de frontera religioso-política, seguía conservando buena parte de su carácter ecuménico anterior, heredado de Roma, donde hombres, ideas y mercancías seguían circulando de un lado al otro del mismo. La pluralidad cultural tenía sus peculiaridades mediterráneas que ni la irrupción del Imperio turco ni el catolicismo de Felipe II podían evitar. Formas de pluralidad, y de los intentos, finalmente logrados en buena medida en el Mediterráneo católico, de eliminarla, que los autores de este libro, resultado de un seminario celebrado en la Universidad Internacional de Andalucía, analizan: desde el problema judío al morisco, desde la irrupción de los turcos en el Mediterráneo a la condición de la mujer en el mundo otomano, o desde el temprano orientalismo de la época hasta la mirada que sobre el norte de Europa se tenía desde lugares como Venecia. Todo sobre un fondo en el que destaca la presencia de lo Oriental interior en el caso de España y la evolución de lo abierto a lo cerrado en los intelectuales españoles
Violence Against Women
Under International Human Rights Law
Alice Edwards
"Since the mid-1990s increasing international attention has been paid to the issue of violence against women; however, there is still no explicit international human rights treaty prohibition on violence against women and the issue remains poorly definedand understood under international human rights law. Drawing on feminist theories of international law and human rights, this critical examination of the United Nations' legal approaches to violence against women analyses the merits of strategies which incorporate women's concerns of violence within existing human rights norms such as equality norms, the right to life, and the prohibition against torture. Although feminist strategies of inclusion have been necessary as well as symbolically powerful for women, the book argues that they also carry their own problems and limitations, prevent a more radical transformation of the human rights system, and ultimately reinforce the unequal position of women under international law.

A Modern Legal Ethics:
Adversary Advocacy in a Democratic Age
Daniel Markovits
Anteprima del libro
Adversary Advocacy in a Democratic Age
Daniel Markovits
Anteprima del libro
A Modern Legal Ethics proposes a wholesale renovation of legal ethics, one that contributes to ethical thought generally. Daniel Markovits reinterprets the positive law governing lawyers to identify fidelity as its organizing ideal. Unlike ordinary loyalty, fidelity requires lawyers to repress their personal judgments concerning the truth and justice of their clients' claims. Next, the book asks what it is like--not psychologically but ethically--to practice law subject to the self-effacement that fidelity demands. Fidelity requires lawyers to lie and to cheat on behalf of their clients. However, an ethically profound interest in integrity gives lawyers reason to resist this characterization of their conduct. Any legal ethics adequate to the complexity of lawyers' lived experience must address the moral dilemmas immanent in this tension. The dominant approaches to legal ethics cannot. Finally, A Modern Legal Ethics reintegrates legal ethics into political philosophy in a fashion commensurate to lawyers' central place in political practice. Lawyerly fidelity supports the authority of adjudication and thus the broader project of political legitimacy. Throughout, the book rejects the casuistry that dominates contemporary applied ethics in favor of an interpretive method that may be mimicked in other areas. Moreover, because lawyers practice at the hinge of modern morals and politics, the book's interpretive insights identify--in an unusually pure and intense form--the moral and political conditions of all modernity.
Custom as a Source of Law
David J. Bederman
Anteprima del libro
A central puzzle in jurisprudence has been the role of custom in law. Custom is simply the practices and usages of distinctive communities. But are such customs legally binding? Can custom be law, even before it is recognized by authoritative legislation or precedent? And, assuming that custom is a source of law, what are its constituent elements? Is proof of a consistent and long-standing practice sufficient, or must there be an extra ingredient - that the usage is pursued out of a sense of legal obligation, or, at least, that the custom is reasonable and efficacious? And, most tantalizing of all, is custom a source of law that we should embrace in modern, sophisticated legal systems, or is the notion of law from below outdated, or even dangerous, today? This volume answers these questions through a rigorous multidisciplinary, historical, and comparative approach, offering a fresh perspective on custom's enduring place in both domestic and international law

Responsibility for Justice
Iris Marion Young, Martha Nussbaum
When the noted political philosopher Iris Marion Young died in 2006, her death was mourned as the passing of "one of the most important political philosophers of the past quarter-century" (Cass Sunstein) and as an important and innovative thinker working at the conjunction of a number of important topics: global justice; democracy and difference; continental political theory; ethics and international affairs; and gender, race and public policy.
In her long-awaited RESPONSIBILITY FOR JUSTICE, Young discusses our responsibilities to address "structural" injustices in which we among many are implicated (but for which we not to blame), often by virtue of participating in a market, such as buying goods produced in sweatshops, or participating in booming housing markets that leave many homeless. Young argues that addressing these structural injustices requires a new model of responsibility, which she calls the "social connection" model. She develops this idea by clarifying the nature of structural injustice; developing the notion of political responsibility for injustice and how it differs from older ideas of blame and guiWith a foreword by Martha C. Nussbaum, this last statement by a revered and highly influential thinker will be of great interest to political theorists and philosophers, ethicists, and feminist and political philosophers.
'Iris Marion Young's death in 2006 was a tragic loss for the field of political theory, and this manuscript is evidence of how much she had yet to contribute. Like all her work, it addresses issues of enormous philosophical and political importance, and does so in a way that is original and insightful. It integrates a rich array of examples, concepts, theories and resources, from empirical social science to continental philosophy, and does so in a way that is seamless and effortless... it's an important manuscript and a fitting testament to Young's career."- Will Kymlicka, Philosophy, Queens University
'[The book] is both very distinctively the work of Iris Marion Young in its topic, style of argument and presentation, but it also makes a number of important contributions to contemporary political philosophy, through trying to work out a 'social connection' theory of responsibility. It is particularly impressive in the open way it draws on sources - equally at home discussing Derrida, Sartre and Levinas, as contemporary analytic philosophers such as G.A. Cohen, Alan Buchanan and Robert Goodin.' Jonathan Wolff, Philosophy, University College London

Legal interpretation: perspectives from other disciplines and private texts
Kent Greenawalt
InLegal Interpretation,Kent Greenawalt focuses on the complex and multi-faceted topic of textual interpretation of the law. All law needs to be interpreted, and there are many ways to do it. But what sorts of questions must one seek to answer in interpreting law and what approach should one take in each case? Whose interpretations should be prioritized? Why would one be drawn to one strategy over another? And should legal interpretation seek to satisfy specific aims or general objectives? In order to provide the answers to these questions, Greenawalt explores the ways in which interpretive strategies from other disciplines--the philosophy of language, literary and musical interpretation, religious interpretation, and general interpretive theory--can augment and enrich methods of legal interpretation. Over the course of the book, he suggests how such forms of interpretation are analogous to legal interpretation--and points to those cases in which interpretation must rest on the distinctive aspects of legal theory, such as is the case with private documents. Furthermore, Greenawalt's meditation suggests that interpretive strategies from other disciplines can shed light on the essential nature of legal interpretation and provide roads by which to account for dissonance between various methods of interpretation.Legal Interpretationis a thought-provoking reflection on the ways that insights from a range of intellectual traditions can deepen our understanding of law, particularly with regard to constitutional law.

Il giudice utilitarista
Flessibilità e tutela delle aspettative nel pensiero giuridico di Jeremy bentham
A differenza di altri studi sulla filosofia del diritto di Jeremy Bentham, questo volume affronta solo indirettamente il problema della codificazione, incentrandosi piuttosto sul ruolo che assume il giudice nei progetti di riforma del pensatore londinese. Anche in sede giurisdizionale, infatti, vale il precetto utilitarista di perseguire il "maggior bene del maggior numero".
Il giudice deve tutelare la certezza del diritto, necessaria ai cittadini per sviluppare autonomamente i propri piani di vita. Al contempo, però, deve altresì soddisfare un bisogno di flessibilità, per evitare che l'applicazione di norme generali porti in certi casi a risultati indesiderabili. Il sistema di common law, per Bentham, sacrifica entrambe queste esigenze, a causa della sua oscurità sostanziale e delle sue procedure macchinose.
Questo libro intende rivedere criticamente lo stereotipo per cui il giudice benthamiano sarebbe un mero esecutore passivo o «bocca della legge». Al contrario, egli deve collaborare con il legislatore per adeguare progressivamente il diritto alle esigenze della società. Nel tracciare questa figura ideale, Bentham affronta questioni tuttora aperte sul rapporto tra giurisdizione e legislazione.

Mario Jori
Del diritto inesistente
Saggio di metagiurisprudenza descrittiva
In questo lavoro si esamina un passaggio misconosciuto ma essenziale della pratica e del pensiero giuridico: come si fa a individuare il diritto vigente? I giuristi stranamente non se ne occupano affatto, ma presuppongono o danno per scontato che qualcosa sia il diritto vigente e da questo punto iniziano il loro lavoro. L'operazione viene di solito descritta con immagini che pretendono che "un" diritto, come ad esempio il diritto italiano vigente, sia percepito come si percepisce un oggetto materiale. Simili metafore vanno usate con cautela quando sostituiscono l'analisi di come vanno le cose, perché nascondono i problemi e le responsabilità: la individuazione di un diritto vigente non è in realtà l'incontro con una sorta di colossale rinoceronte invisibile. Nel testo peraltro sono state abbondantemente usate metafore come quest'ultima, per combattere l'effetto illusorio delle abituali metafore e mostrare che non possono sostituire l'analisi attenta delle scelte concettuali sottostanti alla pratica giuridica. Dobbiamo chiarire il rapporto tra questa operazione e la identificazione del diritto in generale, cioè del concetto di diritto e la determinazione dei confini di ciascun diritto. La tesi del libro è che la identificazione di qualcosa come diritto vigente in un certo tempo e spazio non è compiuta dalla scienza sociale e neppure dalla giurisprudenza, ma dal senso comune. Non è quindi basata su un fatto sociale e neppure su una norma giuridica. Sulla identificazione del diritto vigente da parte del senso comune, si sostiene, è basato anche il pensiero tecnico giuridico e questo assicura la necessaria unità della pratica giuridica in una società, la convergenza tra attività dei tecnici del diritto (i giuristi) e il pensiero ordinario senza la quale la società entrerebbe immediatamente in una situazione di crisi. Nella seconda parte del libro su questa base si esaminano alcune discussioni vecchie e nuove di teoria del diritto, segnatamente la discussione sul giuspositivismo iniziata dalle critiche di R. Dworkin a Herbert Hart.

La Norma speciale
Una nozione ingannevole
Questo libro è rivolto, a pari titolo, ai giuristi positivi e ai teorici del diritto italiani e suo scopo è chiarire un'idea assai familiare alla cultura giuridica europeo-continentale e non solo che ha origine molto antica: l'idea «lex specialis derogat generali» vale a dire che la norma speciale (la species) deroga a quella generale (al genus). Si tratta di un luogo comune tra i giusperiti che i teorici hanno considerato solo occasionalmente sotto le vesti di criterio di soluzione delle antinomie giuridiche. L'analisi che si compie in questo libro mostra che concepire l'idea della lex specialis come mero criterio di soluzione della antinomie è però riduttivo e che tale idea, lungi dall'essere chiara e ovvia come si suole pensare, pone tre interrogativi distinti, di cruciale importanza per il ragionamento giuridico (non solo circa la specialità): 1) in che senso una norma è speciale o generale; 2) cosa vuol dire che una norma (speciale) deroga a un'altra norma (quella generale) e se e perché la prima deroga alla seconda; 3) se ed eventualmente a quali condizioni la norma speciale è compatibile o invece incompatibile con la norma generale. Oltre a rispondere a queste domande, nello studio si affrontano alcuni aspetti controversi del principio di specialità (il suo fondamento etico e giuridico e la sua natura di norma o definizione); inoltre, vengono passate in rassegna le «entità giuridiche» che più spesso sono considerate speciali e deroganti, confrontando in particolare l'accostamento tipico del civilista con quello proprio del penalista.

Law and the limits of reason
Adrian Vermeule
Adrian Vermeule
Human reason is limited. Given the scarcity of reason, how should the power to make constitutional law be allocated among legislatures, courts and the executive, and how should legal institutions be designed? In Law and the Limits of Reason, Adrian Vermeule denies the widespread view, stemming from Burke and Hayek, that the limits of reason counsel in favor of judges making "living" constitutional law in the style of the common law. Instead, he proposes and defends a "codified constitution" - a regime in which legislatures have the primary authority to develop constitutional law over time, through statutes and constitutional amendments.
Vermeule contends that precisely because of the limits of human reason, large modern legislatures, with their numerous and highly diverse memberships and their complex internal structures for processing information, are the most epistemically effective lawmaking institutions.
Global Ethics: An Introduction
di Kimberly Hutchings
"Global Ethics guides students through the complex array of ethical dilemmas that constitute the modern international order.' Anthony F. Lang, University of St Andrews
`With her new book, Kimberly Hutchings demonstrates clearly why she is the rarest of scholars: One whose work demonstrates both sophistication and intellectual rigour on one hand, and the utmost lucidity and accessibility on the other. Amongst a number of new texts and collections on global/international ethics in the last few years, Hutchings's book will undoubtedly stand out from the crowd.' Fiona Robinson, Carleton University
`Kimberly Hutchings has written a very engaging and accessible introduction to the now growing field of global ethics. She covers both theoretical issues about the contested nature of global ethics and about how it relates to globalization, and the areas of global concern over humanitarian aid , global distributive justice and war and peace.' Nigel Dower, University of Aberdeen
"This book provides an excellent introduction to global ethics and the main theoetical issues involved. It is beyond doubt the most comprehensive and clearly written introductory book on the subject that I Have read.' Garrett Brown. University of sheffied.
The field of Global Ethics draws on traditions of moral theory, mostly derived from western philosophy, in order to address moral problems specific to an increasingly globalized world.
This book provides an accessible introduction to the field of Global Ethics for students of politics, international relations and globalization, It offers an overview and assessment of key perspectives in Global Ethics and their implications for substantive moral issues in global politics. These issues include the morality of state and non-state violence, the obligations of rich to poor in a globalizing world and the scope and nature of international human rights.
The aim of the book is to help non-specialist students understand the assumptions underpinning different moral traditions and to enable them to make up their own minds about the best way of approaching moral judgement and prescription in a shared world which is nevertheless marked by massive cultural differences and inequalities of power.

Thomas Pogge and His Critics
Alison Jaggar
The massive disparity between the relative wealth of most citizens in affluent countries and the profound poverty of billions of people struggling elsewhere for survival is morally jolting. But why exactly is this disparity so outrageous and how should the citizens of affluent countries respond? Political philosopher, Thomas Pogge, has emerged as one of the world&'s most ardent critics of global injustice which, he argues, is caused directly by the operation of a global institutional order that not only systematically disadvantages poor countries but is imposed on them by precisely those wealthy, powerful countries that benefit the most from the order&'s injustice. In allowing their governments to perpetrate this injustice, Pogge contends that citizens of the wealthy countries collude in a monumental crime against humanity. In this book Pogge&'s challenging and controversial ideas are debated by leading political philosophers from a range of philosophical viewpoints. With a clear and informative introduction by Alison Jaggar, and original contributions from Neera Chandhoke, Jiwei Ci, Joshua Cohen, Erin Kelly, Lionel McPherson, Charles W. Mills, Kok-Chor Tan, and Leif Wenar, this volume deepens and expands the debate over global justice and moral responsibility in the world today.

Administrative Reforms and Democratic Governance
Jean-Michel Eymeri-Douzans, Jon Pierre
Jean-Michel Eymeri-Douzans, Jon Pierre
After a quarter of a century of implementation of New Public Management (NPM) reform strategies, this book assesses the major real outcomes of these reforms on states and public sectors, at both the organisational level and a more political level. Unlike most previous accounts of reform, this book looks at how reform has changed the role of the public administration in democratic governance. Featuring case studies on the UK, Germany, France, Norway, Ireland, Switzerland, Scandinavia, Post communist states, Mexico, South Korea, Turkey and the European Commission, and focusing on two issues this book:
•Examines the significant variations in the "trajectories" of administrative reform among West European countries on the basis of empirically rooted research on different national case studies
•Assesses the extent to which these "constitutive" public policies have affected the institutions of government and the governing processes of our democratic occidental states and ask how have NPM-inspired programs, with their exclusive focus on managerialist objectives and instruments, challenged the political and democratic nature of public administration?
Looking at the broader issues relating to the current recompositions of democratic states, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of all matters relating to public administration and governance within political science, management, public law, sociology, contemporary history, and cultural studies.
Shrines and pilgrimage in the modern world: new itineraries into the sacred
Peter Jan Margry
The modern pilgrimage—to sites ranging from Graceland to the veterans’ annual ride to to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial to Jim Morrison’s Paris grave—is intertwined with man’s existential uncertainties in the face of a rapidly changing world. In a climate that reproduces the religious quest in seemingly secular places, it’s no longer clear exactly what the term pilgrimage infers—and Shrines and Pilgrimage in the Modern World critiques our notions of the secular and the sacred, while commenting on the modern media’s multiplication of images that renders the modern pilgrimage a quest without an object. Using new ethnographical and theoretical approaches, this volume offers a surprising new vision on the non-secularity of the “secular” pilgrimage. "This book will be sure to stoke our intellectual fire and heat up the discussion over the highly charged topic of secular pilgrimage.”—Simon Bronner, Penn State University
