This is a collection of essays written by Moore which form a
thorough examination of the theory of criminal responsibility. The
author covers a wide range of topics, giving the book a coherence
and unity which is rare in assembled essays. Perhaps the most
significant feature of this book is Moore's espousal of a
retributivist theory of punishment. This anti-utilitarian
standpoint is a common thread throughout the book. It is also a
trend which is currently manifesting itself in all areas of moral,
political and legal philosophy, but Moore is one of the first to
apply such attitudes so sytematically to criminal law theory. As
such, this innovative, new book will be of great interest to all
scholars in this field.
Compliance and Ethics in Law Firms provides guidance on SRA
regulations for non-lawyers working in law firms and for those who
are responsible for ensuring that they comply with the SRA's rules
(such as COLPs, COFAs and learning and development professionals).
There are regulatory and legal consequences both for these
individuals and for their firms if they fail to demonstrate the
correct behaviours. It is therefore essential that everyone who
works in a law firm understands the compliance and ethical
requirements of SRA regulations. The second edition of this book
has been updated to aid compliance with the SRA Standards and
Regulations, which replaced the SRA Handbook in November 2019, as
well as relevant tribunal decisions. The text has been revised to
take account of the Money Laundering Regulations 2017, the Criminal
Finances Act 2017, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
and the Data Protection Act 2018. These changes are of great
significance and this edition will explain them and provide the
reader with a toolkit of regulatory and ethical knowledge which can
be applied to their specific circumstances.
Can your employer require you to travel to India for a hip
replacement as a condition of insurance coverage? If injury
results, can you sue the doctor, hospital or insurer for medical
malpractice in the country where you live? Can a country prohibit
its citizens from helping a relative travel to Switzerland for
assisted suicide? What about travel for abortion? In Patients with
Passports, I. Glenn Cohen tackles these important questions, and
provides the first comprehensive legal and ethical analysis of
medical tourism. Medical tourism is a growing multi-billion dollar
industry involving millions of patients who travel abroad each year
to get health care. Some seek legitimate services like hip
replacements and travel to avoid queues, save money, or because
their insurer has given them an incentive to do so. Others seek to
circumvent prohibitions on accessing services at home and go abroad
to receive abortions, assisted suicide, commercial surrogacy, or
experimental stem cell treatments. In this book, author I. Glenn
Cohen focuses on patients traveling for cardiac bypass and other
legal services to places like India, Thailand, and Mexico, and
analyzes issues of quality of care, disease transmission,
liability, private and public health insurance, and the effects of
this trade on foreign health care systems. He goes on to examine
medical tourism for services illegal in the patient's home country,
such as organ purchase, abortion, assisted suicide, fertility
services, and experimental stem cell treatments. Here, Cohen
examines issues such as extraterritorial criminalization,
exploitation, immigration, and the protection of children. Through
compelling narratives, expert data, and industry explanations
Patients with Passports enables the reader to connect with the most
prevalent legal and ethical issues facing medical tourism today.
