Responding to the growing importance of economic reasoning in legal scholarship, this innovative work provides an essential introduction to the economic tools which can usefully be employed in legal reasoning. It is geared specifically towards those without a great deal of exposure to economic thinking and provides law students, legal scholars and practitioners with a practical toolbox to shape their writing, understanding and case preparation. The book's clear focus on economic methods poses a refreshing change to conventional textbooks in this area, which tend to focus on content-related theories. Recognizing that it is often difficult to derive adequate conclusions for legal arguments without first understanding the methodological limitations of economic studies, this book provides a comprehensive coverage of the most important economic concepts in order to bridge this gap. These include: game theory public choice and social choice theory behavioural economics empirical research design basic statistics Owing to its concise and accessible style, Economic Methods for Lawyers will provide an invaluable companion for legal scholars or practitioners who wish to utilise economic methods for developing legal argument.

Die Integration des Islam und der Muslime stellt eine wichtige Voraussetzung fur einen dauerhaften sozialen Frieden in Deutschland dar. Zur Foerderung dieser Integration kann ein islamischer Religionsunterricht wesentlich beitragen. Der Band dokumentiert eine im Rahmen des vom Ministerium fur Wissenschaft und Forschung des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen gefoerderten Projekts "Integration des Islam durch islamischen Religionsunterricht" veranstaltete Fachtagung. Zunachst wird der Rahmen fur die Diskussion um den Religionsunterricht an oeffentlichen Schulen nachgezeichnet, indem die Ausgangspunkte eines islamischen Religionsunterrichts in Deutschland aufgezeigt und die Voraussetzungen und Erfahrungen eines Unterrichts am Beispiel der Islamkunde in Nordrhein-Westfalen beleuchtet werden. Sodann wird die verfassungsrechtliche Komponente der Frage in den Blick genommen; neben dem deutschen Recht wird zum Vergleich die Rechtslage nach turkischem Recht eroertert. Schliesslich wird den rechtlichen Anforderungen des staatlichen Rechts die theologische Sicht des Themas im Islam aus unterschiedlicher islamischer Perspektive gegenubergestellt.
