Vaughan's perceptive analysis of EU chemicals regulation vividly
portrays new governance as an intricate world of 'hybrid'
governance. It is a world in which a range of legislative and
non-legislative texts and tools encounter one another in normative
frameworks that are rather more fluid than fixed. Not only do we
learn a great deal about EU chemicals regulation, our understanding
of the complex legal character of new governance in the EU is
greatly enriched.' - Kenneth Armstrong, University of Cambridge,
UK'This fascinating and original monograph examines the EU's
innovative regime for the regulation of chemicals. It will be of
great interest to lawyers and political scientists who are
interested in chemicals regulation, but also crucially to those who
are not. The volume uses chemicals regulation as a case study to
shed light upon broader debates in EU law and governance, including
the role played by 'soft law' instruments in EU law and the
pressing accountability issues to which this gives rise.' - Joanne
Scott, University College London, UK 'Steven Vaughan's book on the
EU's REACH regime is a splendid case study in new governance. It
has been said that 'there is nothing more practical than a good
theory.' Producing a good, practical theory, however, requires not
just strong academic skills, but also practical experience. Vaughan
brings both to the task of analyzing how 'new governance' plays out
in the area of chemical regulation. His insightful analysis
demonstrates that much highbrow academic theory on REACH and new
governance is inaccurate.' - Lucas Bergkamp, Partner, Hunton &
Williams, Brussels This perceptive book provides an exploratory,
explanatory and normative account of the EU Regulation on the
Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of
Chemicals (REACH), and its regulator, the European Chemicals Agency
(ECHA). With more than one million words of official ECHA guidance
to accompany and underpin the 516 pages of REACH, comprehension of
these cooperative regimes is often confounded. Through rigorous
analysis of REACH and ECHA's guidance, this book offers a critical
insight into hybrid new governance, the situation whereby hard law
is conjoined with soft law. Steven Vaughan uses his practical and
academic expertise in environmental law to present an accessible
and multidimensional account of the core elements of REACH and its
associated guidance. The overarching discussion challenges existing
assumptions about new governance to establish a basis for academic
commentaries on EU chemicals regulation and hybridity in law and
governance. Acute and discerning, this book will act as a useful
reference tool for environmental and public law scholars and
students interested in EU chemicals regulation, new governance and
hybridity. Legal practitioners and policy makers alike will find
value in the acumen into REACH for both advisory remarks and areas
of potential reform.
We are currently witnessing an unprecedented transformation in the
legal profession and legal education. The Legal Services Act 2007
and the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012
have both enabled and necessitated dramatic structural changes to
the profession, as well as impacting on its ethos and ethicality.
The recent Legal Education and Training Review (LETR) promises
similarly dramatic change to the provision of legal education,
reflecting the shifting landscape of both the legal professional
market and Higher Education in general. These transformative
changes bring both exciting opportunities and challenges with which
everyone involved in the law - from University lecturers, to Senior
Partners in leading law firms, to the judiciary - must grapple.
This edited collection comprises a selection of papers presented at
the 2nd conference of CEPLER, Birmingham Law School's Centre for
Professional Legal Education and Research. The aim of the
Conference, and thus this collection, was to bring together leading
academic scholars, senior figures from professional practice,
policy-makers, and representatives of the regulatory authorities,
to reflect on the key issues arising from this transformative
moment. As such, this volume of essays covers diverse ground, from
curriculum development to professional theory, enriched and
enhanced by the range of backgrounds and perspectives of its
contributors.
