The purchase of this ebook edition does not entitle you to receive access to the Connected eBook on CasebookConnect. You will need to purchase a new print book to get access to the full experience including: lifetime access to the online ebook with highlight, annotation, and search capabilities, plus an outline tool and other helpful resources. Described as “superb” and “inspiring” by Dean Erwin Chemerinsky, Civil Rights Enforcementdives deeply into doctrines concerning the enforcement of civil rights (rather than the content of those rights) and the aspects of those doctrines of most importance to those litigating in the field. The book is organized as a litigator might think through a case, and it provides students rich, detailed hypothetical problems to which they can apply what they are learning. Alongside these practice-focused elements, the book’s notes, questions, and topic transitions push students to grapple both with (1) strategic questions about impact litigation and the role of civil rights litigation in constitutional enforcement, and (2) theoretical questions such as tradeoffs between the values of federalism and judicial review and the relationship between rights and remedies. Highlights of the First Edition: Detailed hypothetical problems with multi-layered fact patterns, including hypothetical statutes, precedents, and litigation documents based on actual cases Application notes focusing on how civil rights enforcement doctrines work in practice, prominent appeals court decisions, and areas of current controversy among courts of appeals A prologue (and follow-up notes throughout the book) grounding the material in the history of the civil rights movement and raising strategic questions about the practice of impact litigation Commentary and questions that situate the doctrines studied both within their historical context and within broader theoretical debates about the proper role of the federal courts and the gap between rights and remedies Several chapters that cover statutory civil rights enforcement and compare and contrast constitutional and statutory civil rights enforcement Professors and students will benefit from: Organization of the material in the manner a litigator would think through a potential case and a focus on doctrines and issues most relevant to practice Rigorous case editing to highlight the key questions for study and avoid unnecessarily long and sprawling excerpts Notes-and-questions sections structured to proceed from the simplest questions to those challenging students to consider critiques of the doctrine, various justices’ interpretative choices and methodologies, the incentives created for plaintiffs and defendants, and the relationship to other topics covered Consideration of the real-world implications of the doctrines studied, including frank discussions of race, sexual harassment, and institutional culture Charts and illustrations for a few of the more complex doctrines Consistent focus on doctrines of rights enforcement (as opposed to the content of various rights)—providing the book with a unifying theme and marking out a field of study distinct from Constitutional Law, Criminal Procedure, and Employment Discrimination

Jurisprudence

Themes and Concepts

By: Scott Veitch,Emilios Christodoulidis,Marco Goldoni

Jurisprudence: Themes and Concepts offers an original introduction to, and critical analysis of, the central themes studied in jurisprudence courses. The book is organised in three parts: Part I sets out the key elements of modern law and their relation to political, economic, and social conditions. Part II presents competing accounts of the nature of legal validity, legality, legal reasoning, and justice. Both parts feature corresponding tutorial questions. Part III contains advanced topics including chapters on legal pluralism, law and disciplinary power, and law and the Anthropocene. Every chapter gives guidance on further reading. This fourth edition has been fully revised and updated to take into account the latest developments in jurisprudential scholarship. Additional material is included in the coverage of social law, colonialism, critical race theory, the challenges of digital technology, and the emergence of new legal subjects. Accessible, interdisciplinary and socially informed, Jurisprudence: Themes and Concepts is essential reading for all students of jurisprudence and legal philosophy.

Forum Non Conveniens

Forum Non Conveniens

History, Global Practice, and Future Under the Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements

By: Ronald A. Brand,Scott R. Jablonski

With increased international trade transactions and a corresponding increase in disputes arising from those transactions, the application of the doctrine of Forum Non Conveniens - the discretionary power of a court to decline jurisdiction based on the convenience of the parties and the interests of justice - has become extremely relevant when determining which country's court should preside over a controversy involving nationals of different countries. Forum Non Conveniens: History, Global Practice, and Future Under the Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements provides an in-depth analysis of the common law doctrine of Forum Non Conveniens as it has evolved in the four major common law countries (UK, US, Canada, and Australia), and looks at the similarities and differences of the doctrine among those four countries. It compares Forum Non Conveniens to the more rigid analogous doctrine of Lis Alibi Pendens found in civil law countries, which requires automatic deference to the court where a dispute is first filed and explains current initiatives for coordinating jurisdictional issues between the common law and civil law systems, the most important of which is the 2005 Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements. The authors explain how the Hague Convention provides a rational approach to the confluence of common law and civil law doctrines and how its application to international transactions is likely to temper judicial application of the doctrine of Forum Non Conveniens and provides greater predictability with respect to enforcement of private party choice of court agreements.Forum Non Conveniens: History, Global Practice, and Future Under the Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements is the only book to provide a complete explanation of Forum Non Conveniens in the context of global litigation, making it a very important resource and reference work.
