It is funded by the University of Leicester. Between 1415, when the
Portuguese first used convicts for colonization purposes in the
North African enclave of Ceuta, to the 1960s and the dissolution of
Stalin's gulags, global powers including the Spanish, Dutch,
Portuguese, British, Russians, Chinese and Japanese transported
millions of convicts to forts, penal settlements and penal colonies
all over the world. A Global History of Convicts and Penal Colonies
builds on specific regional archives and literatures to write the
first global history of penal transportation. The essays explore
the idea of penal transportation as an engine of global change, in
which political repression and forced labour combined to produce
long-term impacts on economy, society and identity. They
investigate the varied and interconnected routes convicts took to
penal sites across the world, and the relationship of these convict
flows to other forms of punishment, unfree labour, military service
and indigenous incarceration. They also explore the lived worlds of
convicts, including work, culture, religion and intimacy, and
convict experience and agency.
Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful
introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and
law, expertly written by the world's leading scholars. Designed to
be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of
the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject
areas. Herbert Kritzer presents a clear introduction to the
history, methods and substance of empirical legal research (ELR).
Quantitative methods dominate in empirical legal research, but an
important segment of the field draws on qualitative methods, such
as semi-structured interviews and observation. In this book both
methodologies are explored alongside systematic data analysis.
Offering an overview of the broad ELR literature, the institutions
of the law, the central actors of the law, and the subjects of the
law are each addressed in this highly readable account that will be
essential reading for legal researchers. Key features include:
Summaries of the history of empirical legal research A clear
introduction to methods in empirical legal research Coverage of
both quantitative and qualitative methods and research A readable
guide to the impact and rationale of different methodologies. This
relatively short book provides an invaluable quick introduction for
students, scholars, legal professionals and policy professionals.
Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful
introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and
law, expertly written by the world's leading scholars. Designed to
be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of
the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject
areas. Peter Goodrich presents a unique introduction to the concept
of jurisliterature. Highlighting how lawyers have been
extraordinarily productive of literary, artistic and political
works, Goodrich explores the diversity and imagination of the law
and literature tradition. Jurisliterature, he argues, is the source
of legal invention and the sign of novelty in judgments. Key
features include: a literary approach to viewing law exploration of
the visual culture of the law engagement with the affective and
performative practices of jurisliterature analysis of the legal
style and traditional literary practices of lawyers and judges from
an historical perspective. This Advanced Introduction will be a
useful and concise guide for scholars and students of law and
literature. It will also be beneficial for students and teachers of
courses on jurisprudence, law and the humanities and socio-legal
studies.
In this original and thought-provoking Research Handbook, an
international and interdisciplinary group of scholars, artists,
lawyers, judges, and writers offer a range of perspectives on
rethinking law by means of literary concepts. Presenting a
comprehensive introduction to jurisliterary themes, it destabilises
the traditional hierarchy that places law before literature and
exposes the literary nature of the legal. Chapters explore multiple
genres and modes, from travel reviews to graphic novels, from
poetics to ghost-writing, from cartography to speculative fiction.
Working with diverse methods and areas of inquiry, including
enstrangement, colonial entanglements, blockchain narratives,
transing and transgression of many kinds, matterphor, aesthetics
and epistemology, this Research Handbook provides a systematic
application of literary approaches to the reading of law. Scholars
and students of jurisprudence, and those in the humanities with an
interest in law and literature, will find this ground-breaking
Research Handbook an indispensable guide. It also offers insight to
international legal scholars looking for materialist accounts of
law, as well as those interested in contemporary challenges to the
rule of law.
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.
In this incisive and thought-provoking book, Francois Venter
illuminates the issues arising from the fact that the current
language of constitutional law is strongly premised on a particular
worldview rooted in the history of the states around the North
Atlantic Ocean. Highlighting how this terminological hegemony is
being challenged from various directions, Venter explores the
problem that all constitutional comparatists face: that they all
must use the same words to express different meanings. Offering a
compact but comprehensive constitutional history, Venter
investigates the ways in which the standard vocabulary does not fit
comfortably in many contemporary constitutional orders, as well as
examining how its cogency is increasingly being questioned.
Chapters contextualize comparative constitutional methods to
demonstrate how the language choices made by comparatists are
shaped by their own perspectives, arguing that careful explanation
of the meanings attached to constitutional terms is imperative in
order to be persuasive or even understood. Tackling the
foundational elements of the field, this book will be a critical
read for constitutional scholars across the globe. It will also be
of interest to high-level practitioners of constitutional law and
political scientists for its investigation of terminology that is
crucial to their work.
This thought-provoking book develops and elaborates on the artifact
theory of law, covering a wide range of related theoretical and
practical topics. Offering a range of perspectives that flesh out
the artifact theory of law, it also introduces criticisms of
previous formulations of the theory and inquires into its potential
payoffs. Featuring international contributions from both noted and
up-and-coming scholars in law and philosophy, the book is divided
into two parts. The first part further explores and evaluates the
concept of law as an artifact and analyses the background and
theoretical basis of the theory. The second part comprises three
sections on legal ontology, semantics and legal normativity,
specifically in relation to law's artifactual nature. Providing
cutting-edge insights at the intersection of law and philosophy,
this book will appeal to scholars and students in philosophy of
law, empirical legal studies, social ontology and the philosophy of
society.
