Vulnerable Populations And Transformative Law Teaching: A Critical Reader, Chapter 6 - Vulnerability In Contracting: Teaching First-Year Law Students About Inequality And Its Consequences, Deborah Post, Deborah Zalesne
Vulnerable Populations And Transformative Law Teaching: A Critical Reader, Chapter 6 - Vulnerability In Contracting: Teaching First-Year Law Students About Inequality And Its Consequences, Deborah Post, Deborah Zalesne
Deborah W. Post
Traditional legal pedagogy fails to demonstrate the relationship of contract to the subordination of vulnerable populations. As a result, students rarely see the complex web of interrelationships where economic activity takes place or the legal regime that maintains it. Students are not taught how to interrogate the discourse or dismantle the systems and structures that oppress subordinated communities. This Essay describes a technique that we have developed to help students learn the meaning of law and its cultural, social, and structural significance. The traditional framing of the study of contract doctrine as one that is objective, neutral, and fair avoids …
Health Care Reform: Law And Practice, Mary Ann Chirba, Alice Noble, Michael Maddigan
Health Care Reform: Law And Practice, Mary Ann Chirba, Alice Noble, Michael Maddigan
Mary Ann Chirba
On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed comprehensive health reform, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and commonly referred to as "Obamacare" or the Affordable Care Act (ACA), into law. With the passage of the ACA, Congress put an end to the century-long quest to secure coverage for all Americans facing steadily rising costs for increasingly sophisticated health care. In closing the book on that struggle, however, the law opened another. Health Care Reform: Law and Practice is designed to assist health care and legal professionals who need to understand what the law says, how it works, and …

Bienes Comunes (Book In Spanish), Ugo Mattei
Ugo Mattei
En una época regida por la mercantilización de múltiples esferas de la vida, los bienes comunes aparecen como una alternativa tanto a la propiedad privada capitalista como a la propiedad estatal tradicional. A lo largo de estas páginas, se rastrea su dimensión histórica y su irrupción en diferentes luchas y reivindicaciones que han tenido lugar en los últimos años: en defensa del agua, del territorio, de la neutralidad de Internet, contra la precarización laboral o la privatización del conocimiento. Escrito en el ágil estilo del manifiesto, este libro teoriza los bienes comunes no solo en términos jurídicos, sino como una …

A Pragmatic Approach To Intellectual Property And Development: A Case Study Of The Jordanian Copyright Law In The Internet Age, Rami Olwan
Rami Olwan
On October 4, 2004, Brazil and Argentina requested that WIPO adopt a development-oriented approach to IP and to reconsider its work in relation to developing countries. In October, 2007, WIPO member States adopted a historic decision for the benefit of developing countries, to establish a WIPO Development Agenda. Although there have been several studies related to IP and development that call for IP laws in developing countries to be development-friendly, there is little research that attempts to provide developing countries with practical measures to achieve that goal. This article takes the copyright law in Jordan as a case study and …

Protecting Australia's Maritime Borders: The Mv Tampa And Beyond, Ben M. Tsamenyi, Christopher Rahman
Protecting Australia's Maritime Borders: The Mv Tampa And Beyond, Ben M. Tsamenyi, Christopher Rahman
Professor Ben M Tsamenyi
The protection of Australia's maritime borders and sovereign interests at sea has, in recent times, increasingly become a leading national security issue. The arrangements for surveillance and enforcement in Australia's maritime zones have seemingly been in almost constant review in what has become a highly politicised issue. Furthermore, the increased incidence of seaborne illegal migration attempts in late 2001, together with the events of 11 September of that year has focused public, as well as official, attention upon all aspects of what has come to be known as "homeland security." Homeland security is a complex issue, and the problems associated …

Global Justice And International Economic Law: Three Takes, Frank Garcia
Global Justice And International Economic Law: Three Takes, Frank Garcia
Frank J. Garcia
For centuries, international trade has been seen as essential to the wealth and power of nations, and defended as a system through which all could benefit. It is only recently that trade's problematic role as an engine of distributive justice has begun to be understood, due in part to globalization and the global justice debates. In this compelling new book, international legal scholar Frank J. Garcia proposes a radically new way to evaluate, construct, and manage international trade - one that is based on norms of economic justice as well as comparative advantage and national interest. This book examines three …
Normative Patterns And Legal Developments In The Social Dimension Of The Eu, Ann Numhauser-Henning, Mia Rönnmar
Normative Patterns And Legal Developments In The Social Dimension Of The Eu, Ann Numhauser-Henning, Mia Rönnmar
Ann Numhauser-Henning
This book explores the normative and legal evolution of the Social Dimension of the EU - labour law, social security law and family law - in both the EU and its Member States, during the last decade. It does this from a wide range of theoretical and legal-substantive perspectives. The past decade has witnessed the entering into force of the Lisbon Treaty and its emphasis on fundamental rights, a new coordination regulation within the field of social security (Regulation 883/2004/EC), and the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union in the so-called Laval Quartet. Furthermore structural …
Contro Riforme (In Italian), Ugo Mattei
Contro Riforme (In Italian), Ugo Mattei
Ugo Mattei
Dalla metá degli anni Ottanta, il concetto di «riformismo», ha conosciuto una nuova primavera anche in Italia. Tutti i politici desiderosi di assumere cariche di governo, dimostrandosi responsabili e affidabili agli occhi della comunitá internazionale, si devono necessariamente dichiarare «riformisti». L'utilizzo del nuovo linguaggio riformista ha accompagnato in Italia il piú imponente processo di dismissione del patrimonio e delle attivitá economiche pubbliche che l'intera Europa, compresa l'Inghilterra thatcheriana, avesse mai conosciuto in un periodo tanto concentrato. Il riformismo è oggi un gigantesco quanto complesso dispositivo di potere autoritario globale, che porta alla massima estensione e concentrazione della proprietá privata a …
