Global Environmental Constitutionalism
Author: James R. May
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107022258
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 427
Book Description
Reflecting a global trend, scores of countries have affirmed that their citizens are entitled to healthy air, water, and land and that their constitution should guarantee certain environmental rights. This book examines the increasing recognition that the environment is a proper subject for protection in constitutional texts and for vindication by constitutional courts. This phenomenon, which the authors call environmental constitutionalism, represents the confluence of constitutional law, international law, human rights, and environmental law. National apex and constitutional courts are exhibiting a growing interest in environmental rights, and as courts become more aware of what their peers are doing, this momentum is likely to increase. This book explains why such provisions came into being, how they are expressed, and the extent to which they have been, and might be, enforced judicially. It is a singular resource for evaluating the content of and hope for constitutional environmental rights.

Book Description
New Frontiers of State Constitutional Law: Dual Enforcement of Norms projects a new vision for state constitutional law through a collection of essays that reflect a shift in legal thinking about the relationship between national and subnational systems of constitutional law. This book shatters the old image of American federalism as creating distinct systems of constitutional law. Instead, it shows how national and state constitutions and constitutional law are permanently and intimately linked.

The U.S Court 101
Author: Peregrine Peverell
Publisher: Publifye AS
ISBN: 8233932191
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
""The U.S. Court 101"" offers a comprehensive guide to the American justice system, demystifying its complex machinery for a general audience. This illuminating book explores three key areas: the structure of the U.S. court system, the roles of court personnel, and the journey of cases through the judicial process. By tracing the evolution of American jurisprudence from its English common law roots to landmark cases like Marbury v. Madison, the book provides essential historical context for understanding modern courts. The book's central argument is that an informed citizenry is crucial for the proper functioning of the judicial branch. It progresses logically, starting with an introduction to federal and state court systems, then delving into the roles of judges, lawyers, and other court officials, before walking readers through the life cycle of criminal and civil cases. What sets this book apart is its use of real-world examples and hypothetical scenarios to illustrate abstract legal concepts, making it engaging and relatable. Written in an accessible style that balances academic rigor with conversational tone, ""The U.S. Court 101"" serves as an invaluable resource for students, journalists, and civic-minded citizens seeking to understand the backbone of American justice. By addressing current controversies and encouraging critical examination of the modern judiciary, it empowers readers to become more informed and engaged participants in the democratic process.

The New Frontiers of Fashion Law
Author: Rossella Esther Cerchia
Publisher: MDPI
ISBN: 3039437070
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
Fashion law encompasses a wide variety of issues that concern an article of clothing or a fashion accessory, starting from the moment they are designed and following them through distribution and marketing phases, all the way until they reach the end-user. Contract law, intellectual property, company law, tax law, international trade, and customs law are of fundamental importance in defining this new field of law that is gradually taking shape. This volume focuses on the new frontiers of fashion law, taking into account the various fields that have recently emerged as being of great interest for the entire fashion world: from sustainable fashion to wearable technologies, from new remedies to cultural appropriation to the regulation of model weight, from advertising law on the digital market to the impact of new technologies on product distribution. The purpose is to stimulate discussion on contemporary problems that have the potential to define new boundaries of fashion law, such as the impact of the heightened ethical sensitivity of consumers (who increasingly require effective solutions), that a comparative law perspective renders more interesting. The volume seeks to sketch out the new legal fields in which the fashion industry is getting involved, identifying the new boundaries of fashion law that existing literature has not dealt with in a comprehensive manner.

The Transformation of Human Rights Fact-finding
Author: Philip Alston
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190239492
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 577
Book Description
Fact-finding is at the heart of human rights advocacy, and is often at the center of international controversies about alleged government abuses. In recent years, human rights fact-finding has greatly proliferated and become more sophisticated and complex, while also being subjected to stronger scrutiny from governments. Nevertheless, despite the prominence of fact-finding, it remains strikingly under-studied and under-theorized. Too little has been done to bring forth the assumptions, methodologies, and techniques of this rapidly developing field, or to open human rights fact-finding to critical and constructive scrutiny. The Transformation of Human Rights Fact-Finding offers a multidisciplinary approach to the study of fact-finding with rigorous and critical analysis of the field of practice, while providing a range of accounts of what actually happens. It deepens the study and practice of human rights investigations, and fosters fact-finding as a discretely studied topic, while mapping crucial transformations in the field. The contributions to this book are the result of a major international conference organized by New York University Law School's Center for Human Rights and Global Justice. Engaging the expertise and experience of the editors and contributing authors, it offers a broad approach encompassing contemporary issues and analysis across the human rights spectrum in law, international relations, and critical theory. This book addresses the major areas of human rights fact-finding such as victim and witness issues; fact-finding for advocacy, enforcement, and litigation; the role of interdisciplinary expertise and methodologies; crowd sourcing, social media, and big data; and international guidelines for fact-finding.
