Book Synopsis Ethics of the Legal Profession by : Sir Fred Phillips
Download or read book Ethics of the Legal Profession written by Sir Fred Phillips and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In countries outside the developed world, although writers have written commentaries on specific legal codes, very little attention has been given to legal writing which has focused specifically on the ethics of the legal profession. This book makes a special contribution in that regard providing, as it does, a comparative study of prevailing efforts to enhance ethical standards in a profession potentially in crisis and under much public scrutiny. Countries which have been examined include the UK, the US, Canada, South Africa, and countries in the Pacific, South East Asia and the Caribbean. Valuable guidance and learning are provided on such topical issues as wasted costs orders, conflicts of interests, legal and judicial codes, confidentiality, privilege and the ethics of the criminal process, where the jury system comes in for critical evaluation. This book will be a valuable text on the ethics and status of the profession. It will be of considerable interest to law students, practitioners and legal academics, Bar Associations, Attorneys-General and Directors of Public Prosecutions as well as members of the judiciary.

Book Synopsis English Law, the Legal Profession, and Colonialism by : Cerian Griffiths
Download or read book English Law, the Legal Profession, and Colonialism written by Cerian Griffiths and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-10-18 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern legal history is increasingly interested in exploring the development of legal systems from novel and nuanced approaches. This edited collection harnesses the lesser-researched perspectives of the impact of global and imperial factors on the development of law. It is argued that to better understand these timely discussions, we must understand the process and significance of colonisation itself. The volume brings together experts in the field of law and history to explore the ways in which law and lawyers contributed to the expansion of the British Empire, and the ways in which the Empire influenced the Metropole. The book sheds new light on the role of the law and legal actors during the pivotal centuries that saw the establishment of the Empire. Exploring such topics as Atlantic relations, the impact of British jurists upon Indian law, and the development of the law settler colonies, this collection reveals some of the lesser-known intersections between law, history, and empire. The book will be of interest to students and researchers in legal history, comparative history, equity and trusts, contract law, the legal profession, slavery, and the British Empire.

Book Synopsis Legal Research Methods for the English-Speaking Caribbean by : Yasmin Morais
Download or read book Legal Research Methods for the English-Speaking Caribbean written by Yasmin Morais and published by . This book was released on 2024-03-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legal Research Methods for the English-Speaking Caribbean identifies the sources of legal information for the English-speaking Caribbean and provides unique coverage of the independent states and overseas territories in this jurisdiction with a shared history of British colonialism. It is often challenging to know where and how to find the legal information of smaller jurisdictions like the Caribbean nations, especially in instances where this information is still predominantly available only in print. This publication will help researchers overcome this challenge and barrier. It describes and provides the sources for locating legal information, such as case law, statutes, court rules, and secondary sources. Also included are the bibliographic information about the print and electronic resources available for these countries. Legal Research Methods for the English-Speaking Caribbean also provides in-depth coverage of the Caribbean legal landscape, including courts, legal education, local government laws, and the regional and international agreements that these Caribbean states are parties to. The Caribbean region is undergoing rapid social, political, and economic changes, often faster than the required legislative changes. The selected emerging areas of law covering aviation/drones, cannabis, climate change, cryptocurrency, and space law/space tourism are therefore extremely relevant. This book is an invaluable resource to law students and faculty, legislators, and researchers of foreign, comparative, and international law.
Book Synopsis A Region Among States by : Lee Cabatingan
Download or read book A Region Among States written by Lee Cabatingan and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork at the Caribbean Court of Justice, A Region among States explores the possibility of constituting a region on a geopolitical and ideological terrain dominated by the nation-state. How is it that a great swath of the independent, English-speaking Caribbean continues to accept the judicial oversight of their former colonizer via the British institution of the Privy Council? And what possibilities might the CCJ--a judicial institution responsive to the region, not any single nation--offer for untangling sovereignty and regionhood, law and modernity, and postcolonial Caribbean identity? Joining the CCJ as an intern, Lee Cabatingan studied the work of the Court up close: she attended each court hearing and numerous staff meetings, served on committees, assisted with the organization of conferences, and helped to prepare speeches and presentations for the judges. She now offers insight into not only how the Court positions itself vis-à-vis the Caribbean region and the world, but also whether the Court--and, perhaps, the region itself as an overarching construct--might ever achieve a real measure of popular success. In their quest for an accepting, eager constituency, the Court is undertaking a project of extra-judicial region-building that borrows from the toolbox of the nation-state. In each chapter, Cabatingan takes us into an analytical dimension familiar from studies of nation and state-building--myth, territory, people, language, and brand--to help us understand not only the Court and its ambitions, but also the regionalist project, beset as it is with false starts and disappointments, as a potential alternative to the sovereign state.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fourth edition of this best-selling book has been thoroughly revised to take into account recent developments in the law in criminal practice and procedure across the region. The only textbook that explores criminal practice and procedure as it relates to the Commonwealth Caribbean, the book clarifies the state law in each of 11 jurisdictions, at the same time making it clear when laws are the same or similar and highlighting where differences among jurisdictions occur.

The impact of statutory changes in the laws are analysed, as well as recent developments in the common law. Throughout the text the statutory law in the Commonwealth Caribbean is compared to similar English legislation, in the light of the analysis of such legislation in English case law. Commonwealth Caribbean Criminal Practice and Procedure is the recommended textbook for all profes- sional law schools in the Commonwealth Caribbean and is used at regional universities as a reference book for criminal justice students. In addition, as the only book that deals specifically with criminal practice and procedure in the regions, it has proved a valuable reference tool for legal practitioners, judicial officers and police officers.
