Regsalmanak: 100 stories uit ons regserfenis is ’n keur uit die rubriek Regsalmanak wat Gustaf Pienaar sedert 2012 op gereelde grondslag vir LitNet lewer. Die 12 hoofstukke se titels is die 12 maande van die jaar, en elke maand het datumverwante verhale, telkens met ’n regsinhoud. Pienaar put uit gepubliseerde hofverslae vir hierdie vermaaklike dog leersame verhale.
Regter Burton Fourie, wat die voorwoord tot die boek skryf, beskryf Regsalmanak as volg: “Vir almal – jonk en oud – behoort hierdie publikasie van groot waarde te wees, veral om die implementering van regsbeginsels op praktiese vlak te ervaar. In hierdie opsig is die skrywer werklik ’n meester. Regsbeginsels word deur die gebruik van keurige Afrikaans verduidelik en toegepas. Daardeur word soms ingewikkelde regsbegrippe vir almal toeganklik gemaak. Derhalwe is die werk ’n hoogs genotvolle reis deur ons regsgeskiedenis.”

them - from Making a Will through to financing and planning a

_____________ How did a collective of self-taught internet sleuths
end up solving some of the biggest crimes of our time? Bellingcat,
the home-grown investigative unit, is redefining the way we think
about news, politics and the digital future. Here, their founder -
a high-school dropout on a kitchen laptop - tells the story of how
they created a whole new category of information-gathering,
galvanising citizen journalists across the globe to expose war
crimes and pick apart disinformation, using just their computers.
From the downing of Malaysia Flight 17 over the Ukraine to the
sourcing of weapons in the Syrian Civil War and the identification
of the Salisbury poisoners, We Are Bellingcat digs deep into some
of Bellingcat's most successful investigations. It explores the
most cutting-edge tools for analysing data, from virtual-reality
software that can build photorealistic 3D models of a crime scene,
to apps that can identify exactly what time of day a photograph was
taken. In our age of uncertain truths, Bellingcat is what the world
needs right now - an intelligence agency by the people, for the
people.
Aims to provides a highly accessible, yet practical guide to all

chapter covering special types of arbitration such as consumer
schemes and arbitration under statute. Written in simple
non-legalistic language and intentionally general in its coverage,
this book should be of relevance to arbitration matters in whatever
trade and profession it is practiced. It may be of particular
interest to students taking CIArb examinations, exempting courses
for CIArb exams, and those pursuing more general arbitration
courses at university or other colleges of higher education.

The freedom to think what you want and to say what you think has
always generated a pushback of regulation and censorship. This
raises the thorny question: to what extent does free speech
actually endanger speech protection? This book examines today's
calls for speech legislation and places it into historical
perspective, using fascinating examples from the past 200 years, to
explain the historical context of laws regulating speech. Over
time, the freedom to speak has grown, the ways in which we
communicate have evolved due to technology, and our ideas about
speech protection have been challenged as a result. Now more than
ever, we are living in a free speech paradox: powerful speakers
weaponize their rights in order to silence those less-powerful
speakers who oppose them. By understanding how this situation has
developed, we can stand up to these threats to the freedom of
speech.
Readers say it best: "Very informative." "Saved me a lot of money
and headaches!" "Recommend it for everyone who has to plan estates
for their elderly parents" Living Trusts for Everyone is the best
resource for setting up a living trust. Explaining in specific
terms what benefits a trust will have, Ronald Farrington Sharp
gives the tools necessary to set up a loved one's trust with no
lawyers and no expense. Wills benefit lawyers. Trusts benefit the
clients. Too often lawyers sell wills to clients only to sit back
and wait to sell their probate services to their clients' heirs.
Ronald Farrington Sharp describes the best way to handle modern
estate planning and details the many advantages trusts have over
wills in not only eliminating probate but in also protecting your
assets for your heirs. Sharp explains why legal services are not
needed to do the clerical work in settling a trust after death.

legal jargon, just step-by-step instructions and sample form

When a death is investigated by a coroner, what is the place of the
family in that process? This accessibly written book draws together
empirical, theoretical and historical perspectives to develop a
rich, nuanced analysis of the contemporary inquest system in
England and Wales. It investigates theories of kinship drawn from
socio-legal research and analyses law, accountability and the legal
process. Excerpts of conversations with coroners and officers offer
real insights into how the role of family can be understood and who
family is perceived to be, and how their participation
fundamentally shapes the investigation into a death.
In recent decades, companies around the world have deployed an
arsenal of tools - including IP law, hardware design, software
restrictions, pricing strategies, and marketing messages - to
prevent consumers from fixing the things they own. While this
strategy has enriched companies almost beyond measure, it has taken
billions of dollars out of the pockets of consumers and imposed
massive environmental costs on the planet. In The Right to Repair,
Aaron Perzanowski analyzes the history of repair to show how we've
arrived at this moment, when a battle over repair is being waged -
largely unnoticed - in courtrooms, legislatures, and administrative
agencies. With deft, lucid prose, Perzanowski explains the opaque
and complex legal landscape that surrounds the right to repair and
shows readers how to fight back.
