Book Synopsis The Role of Social Science in Law by : Elizabeth Mertz
Download or read book The Role of Social Science in Law written by Elizabeth Mertz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legal system relies on social science for answers to many tough questions. Social scientists study issues relevant to law. But are law and social science talking past one another? This collection of important articles and essays explores the difficult process of translation between these two fields, drawing on three different scholarly perspectives - the 'insider' approach which views social science as a tool that lawyers can use for legal ends, the 'outsider' approach of the law and society or sociology of law movement, and the study of the language of law. Each section of the volume combines theoretical articles with specific empirical examples, ranging from the death penalty through anti-discrimination law to family violence.

Book Synopsis Science and Risk Regulation in International Law by : Jacqueline Peel
Download or read book Science and Risk Regulation in International Law written by Jacqueline Peel and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-11-04 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The regulation of risk is a preoccupation of contemporary global society and an increasingly important part of international law in areas ranging from environmental protection to international trade. This book examines a key aspect of international risk regulation - the way in which science and technical expertise are used in reaching decisions about how to assess and manage global risks. An interdisciplinary analysis is employed to illuminate how science has been used in international legal processes and global institutions such as the World Trade Organization. Case studies of risk regulation in international law are drawn from diverse fields including environmental treaty law, international trade law, food safety regulation and standard-setting, biosafety and chemicals regulation. The book also addresses the important question of the most appropriate balance between science and non-scientific inputs in different areas of international risk regulation.

Book Synopsis The Language of Science Education by : William F. McComas
Download or read book The Language of Science Education written by William F. McComas and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-30 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Language of Science Education: An Expanded Glossary of Key Terms and Concepts in Science Teaching and Learning is written expressly for science education professionals and students of science education to provide the foundation for a shared vocabulary of the field of science teaching and learning. Science education is a part of education studies but has developed a unique vocabulary that is occasionally at odds with the ways some terms are commonly used both in the field of education and in general conversation. Therefore, understanding the specific way that terms are used within science education is vital for those who wish to understand the existing literature or make contributions to it. The Language of Science Education provides definitions for 100 unique terms, but when considering the related terms that are also defined as they relate to the targeted words, almost 150 words are represented in the book. For instance, “laboratory instruction” is accompanied by definitions for openness, wet lab, dry lab, virtual lab and cookbook lab. Each key term is defined both with a short entry designed to provide immediate access following by a more extensive discussion, with extensive references and examples where appropriate. Experienced readers will recognize the majority of terms included, but the developing discipline of science education demands the consideration of new words. For example, the term blended science is offered as a better descriptor for interdisciplinary science and make a distinction between project-based and problem-based instruction. Even a definition for science education is included. The Language of Science Education is designed as a reference book but many readers may find it useful and enlightening to read it as if it were a series of very short stories.

Download or read book The Law as Laboratory written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Increasingly, we use science and technology to help us fashion legal standards. The explosion of scientific testimony in the courtroom raises procedural questions for the practicing lawyer, as well as jurispudential questions about the future of the legal system. The first morning panel addresses the complex nature of scientific testimony and its ramifications regarding the need for experts, the power of trial judges and the viability of the lay jury. The second morning panel offers practical advice about how to properly qualify and examine expert scientific witnesses under the new standard set by the U.S. Supreme Court in Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals. In addition, the second panel considers questions about the legal ethics of presenting 'junk science.' The final morning panel examines the changing definitions of causation and liability in the courtroom as a result of increased scientific knowledge and heightened public concern. It raises hotly debated issues, such as the relationship of pesticides to birth defects and electric generators to cancer. The afternoon session focuses on the use of 'objective; science in the regulation of risk in environmental law. The first panel is a primer for lawyers on some traditional scientific tests and assumptions. It includes practical advice on how to use science to advantage in the courtroom. Using the Clean Water Act for illustration, the second panel looks at how legal standards relate to 'objective' science. It examines how various regulatory approaches are used to translate indefinite scientific knowledge into legal specifications. The third panel asks the question: How clean is clean? The Superfund law is used to illustrate why it is so difficult to obtain scientific consensus on national clean-up standards." -- Course description.

Book Synopsis Reframing Rights by : Sheila Jasanoff
Download or read book Reframing Rights written by Sheila Jasanoff and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2011-07-22 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigations into the interplay of biological and legal conceptions of life, from government policies on cloning to DNA profiling by law enforcement. Legal texts have been with us since the dawn of human history. Beginning in 1953, life too became textual. The discovery of the structure of DNA made it possible to represent the basic matter of life with permutations and combinations of four letters of the alphabet, A, T, C, and G. Since then, the biological and legal conceptions of life have been in constant, mutually constitutive interplay—the former focusing on life's definition, the latter on life's entitlements. Reframing Rights argues that this period of transformative change in law and the life sciences should be considered “bioconstitutional.” Reframing Rights explores the evolving relationship of biology, biotechnology, and law through a series of national and cross-national case studies. Sheila Jasanoff maps out the conceptual territory in a substantive editorial introduction, after which the contributors offer “snapshots” of developments at the frontiers of biotechnology and the law. Chapters examine such topics as national cloning and xenotransplant policies; the politics of stem cell research in Britain, Germany, and Italy; DNA profiling and DNA databases in criminal law; clinical trials in India and the United States; the GM crop controversy in Britain; and precautionary policymaking in the European Union. These cases demonstrate changes of constitutional significance in the relations among human bodies, selves, science, and the state.
Book Synopsis Incitement on Trial by : Richard Ashby Wilson
Download or read book Incitement on Trial written by Richard Ashby Wilson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-18 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International and national armed conflicts are usually preceded by a media campaign in which public figures foment ethnic, national, racial or religious hatred, inciting listeners to acts of violence. Incitement on Trial evaluates the efforts of international criminal tribunals to hold such inciters criminally responsible. This is an unsettled area of international criminal law, and prosecutors have often struggled to demonstrate a causal connection between speech acts and subsequent crimes. This book identifies 'revenge speech' as the type of rhetoric with the greatest effects on empathy and tolerance for violence. Wilson argues that inciting speech should be handled under the preventative doctrine of inchoate crimes, but that once international crimes have been committed, then ordering and complicity are the most appropriate forms of criminal liability. Based in extensive original research, this book proposes an evidence-based risk assessment model for monitoring political speech.
Book Synopsis How the Laws of Physics Lie by : Nancy Cartwright
Download or read book How the Laws of Physics Lie written by Nancy Cartwright and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 1983-06-09 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this sequence of philosophical essays about natural science, Nancy Cartwright argues that fundamental explanatory laws, the deepest and most admired successes of modern physics, do not in fact describe the regularities that exist in nature. Yet she is not `anti-realist'. Rather, she draws a novel distinction, arguing that theoretical entities, and the complex and localized laws that describe them, can be interpreted realistically, but that the simple unifying laws of basic theory cannot.
Book Synopsis Laws And Explanation In The Social Sciences by : Lee C Mcintyre
Download or read book Laws And Explanation In The Social Sciences written by Lee C Mcintyre and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-08 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first full-length defense of social scientific laws to appear in the last twenty years, this book upholds the prospect of the nomological explanation of human behavior against those who maintain that this approach is impossible, impractical, or irrelevant. By pursuing an analogy with the natural sciences, Mclntyre shows that the barriers to nomological inquiry within the social sciences are not generated by factors unique to social inquiry, but arise from a largely common set of problems that face any scientific endeavor. All of the most widely supported arguments against social scientific laws have failed largely due to adherence to a highly idealized conception of nomologicality (allegedly drawn from the natural sciences themselves) and the limited doctrine of "descriptivism." Basing his arguments upon a more realistic view of scientific theorizing that emphasizes the pivotal role of "redescription" in aiding the search for scientific laws, Mclntyre is optimistic about attaining useful law-like explanations of human behavior.

Book Synopsis Stories About Science in Law by : David S. Caudill
Download or read book Stories About Science in Law written by David S. Caudill and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting examples of how literary accounts can provide a supplement to our understanding of science in law, this book challenges the view that law and science are completely different. It focuses on stories which explore the relationship between law and science, especially cultural images of science that prevail in legal contexts. Contrasting with other studies of the transfer and construction of expertise in legal settings, this book considers the intersection of three interdisciplinary projects: law and science, law and literature, and literature and science. Looking at the appropriation of scientific expertise into law from these perspectives, this book presents an original introduction into how we can gain insight into the use of science in the courtroom and in policy and regulatory settings through literary sources.
