Inspiring a Medico-Legal Revolution - Essays in Honour of Sheila McLean (Paperback): Pamela R Ferguson, Graeme T. Laurie Inspiring a Medico-Legal Revolution - Essays in Honour of Sheila McLean (Paperback)
Pamela R Ferguson, Graeme T. Laurie
R1,304 Discovery Miles 13 040 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book marks the retirement of Professor Sheila McLean, whose contribution to the discipline of medical law has been truly ground breaking. As one of the pioneers of the discipline, Sheila McLean inspired a revolution in the ways in which lawyers, doctors, courts and patients perceive the relationship between medicine and the law. The first International Bar Association Professor of Law and Ethics in Medicine, she has worked tirelessly to champion the importance of law's role in regulating medicine and protecting patients' rights. The span in content of this book reflects the range of contributions that Professor McLean has herself made. Her work gave direction and shape to a new field of study at a time when few questioned the authority of medicine or thought much about the plight of the patient. This collection brings together 21 leading scholars in healthcare law and ethics to honour the depth and significance of her contribution. Including authors from the US, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, the contributions cover areas as diverse as start and end of life, reproductive rights and termination of pregnancy, autonomy of patients, the protection of vulnerable patient groups, and the challenges posed by new technologies.

Breach of the Peace (Paperback): Pamela R Ferguson Breach of the Peace (Paperback)
Pamela R Ferguson
R853 Discovery Miles 8 530 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

As well as describing the development of this frequently prosecuted crime from the mid-19th century to the present day, this book offers a critique of the current law. Related statutory offences are also considered, including those created by the Criminal Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2010, and the Offensive Behaviour at Football and Threatening Communications (Scotland) Act 2012, as is the extent to which these new offences supplant the common law crime. The author argues that breach of the peace is a crime which is open to criticism on several fronts. In particular, and notwithstanding attempts in recent years by the appeal court to narrow its ambit, it remains ill defined.

Scottish Criminal Evidence Law - Current Developments and Future Trends (Paperback): Peter Duff, Pamela R Ferguson Scottish Criminal Evidence Law - Current Developments and Future Trends (Paperback)
Peter Duff, Pamela R Ferguson
R866 Discovery Miles 8 660 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Scottish criminal evidence law has recently undergone major, primarily reactive changes, with more reform on the way. These ad hoc developments are fundamentally altering the basic principles of Scottish criminal evidence which have been in place since the 19th century. The areas affected include: police questioning of suspects, the treatment of vulnerable witnesses in court, hearsay, the admissibility of the accused's previous convictions, the Crown's duty of disclosure and the need for corroboration. This book gathers leading experts in the field to analyse these changes, discern any patterns and ask what they ramifications are for the future of Scottish criminal evidence law.
