Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy star as two mismatched cops in
this comedy from 'Bridesmaids' director Paul Feig. Unaware that her
colleagues hate her, prim and priggish FBI special agent Sarah
Ashburn (Bullock) is seconded to Boston where she's forced to team
up with foul-mouthed, take-no-prisoners detective Shannon Mullins
(McCarthy). When the pair are ordered to take down a local drug
baron, the two cops' wildly contrasting styles - and mutual hatred
- soon threaten to derail their mission. But as the weeks pass, a
grudging admiration for each others' methods brings about a thawing
in hostilities, as the ill-starred crimefighters turn out to be a
force to be reckoned with.

This new addition to Hart's acclaimed Landmark Cases series is a
diverse and engaging edited collection bringing together eminent
commentators from the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia,
Canada, and New Zealand, to analyse cases of enduring significance
to privacy law. The book tackles the conceptual nature of privacy
in its various guises, from data protection, to misuse of private
information, and intrusion into seclusion. It explores the
practical issues arising from questions about the threshold of
actionability, the function of remedies, and the nature of damages.
The cases selected are predominantly English but include cases from
the United States (because of the formative influence of United
States' privacy jurisprudence on the development of privacy law),
Australia, Canada, the Court of Justice of the European Union, and
the European Court of Human Rights. Each chapter considers the
reception and application (and, in some instances, rejection)
outside of the jurisdiction where the case was decided.
