Book Synopsis The Making of European Private Law by : J. M. Smits
Download or read book The Making of European Private Law written by J. M. Smits and published by Intersentia nv. This book was released on 2002 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The private law of the Member States of the European Union has become more and more 'European'. The fact that the European Union is making ever more use of directives as an instrument to achieve private law goals, is, in this context, not the most important development. Of much more substance is the fact that one increasingly realises that a uniform European private law has to be created, in one way or another, in the near future, if a truly common European market is to function at all. Over the last decade, Europe has witnessed the emergence of a vigorous debate about the need for and the feasibility of a future European ius commune in the field of private law. This book critically discusses this debate and provides a systematic overview of the various initiatives taken and describes the fragmentary European private law that already exists (by way of European directives, international conventions, etc.). In addition, the author aims at making a contribution to the debate by suggesting that the experience (good or bad) of the so-called 'mixed legal systems' is of great importance to the European private law venture and to the development of a uniform private law for Europe. This idea is supported by insights from Law & Economics and illustrated by South African law in particular. This idea of 'European private law as a mixed legal system' is then applied to the law of contracts, torts and property. This book takes up the challenge to give a critical examination on the various methods of creating this ius commune. A detailed table of contents, list of abbreviations, bibliography, table of cases and index complete the book and make it a valuable study for everyone interested in European private law.

Book Synopsis The Rise of Comparative Law by : Bénédicte Fauvarque-Cosson
Download or read book The Rise of Comparative Law written by Bénédicte Fauvarque-Cosson and published by ISBS. This book was released on 2007 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past years, academics have reacquired a significant role in the European law-making process. A truly European legal research, based on various networks has also been developed. This seventh Walter van Gerven Lecture examines the discrepancy between, on the one hand, the rise of European and comparative law and, on the other hand, the limited means allocated to the supranational education of future jurists. Legal insularity is no longer an option. Comparative law therefore should no longer be regarded as a pure academic and optional discipline, but as an effective way to lead professors, judges, and legislators out of national legal isolation. Moreover, the strength and durability of truly European legal thinking depends largely on the comparative dimension of education. (The Walter van Gerven Lectures are organized in close cooperation with the Ius Commune Research School, which unites legal scholars from the law faculties of the universities of Leuven, Maastricht, Utrecht, and Amsterdam.)
Book Synopsis Educating European Lawyers by : A. W. Heringa
Download or read book Educating European Lawyers written by A. W. Heringa and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The continuing and accelerating process of European integration impacts European legal education - or ought to have an impact on the ideas about legal education in Europe. Although legal education in Europe is mainly national and usually conducted in the national language, there are initiatives that seek to break through the national barriers and move towards a truly European legal education. The Maastricht European Law School, which focuses on European Union law, international law, and comparative law, is one of these initiatives. This edited volume reflects upon European legal education in the light of Maastricht's program, which has been offered for a couple of years now and which attracts a great number of students from all over Europe, and around the world as well. The book offers to interested readers ways forward, as well as obstacles and points to ponder. Educating European Lawyers pays attention to the developments in European law and the effects these have on legal education in general, as well as in other fields. Drawing from their own experiences, the book's contributors describe the current state of law, offering perspectives on future developments and explaining how they translate these developments into the law school curriculum. The book's commonality is that each contributor seeks to prepare students better for a future in a more integrated Europe. Educating European Lawyers will generate debate and move the European discussion forward to concrete steps to effectively establish European legal education for new generations of lawyers that will work in an increasingly Europeanized legal domain.

Download or read book Legal Education written by A. W. Heringa and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book on legal education is based upon many of author Aalt Willem Heringa's experiences as a professor and dean. Heringa has noted that there is relatively little literature and research about legal education and felt it was necessary to discuss the present state. The book focuses on many issues, such as teaching itself, employability, the mission and focus of law schools, the future of law schools in this age of internationalization, student intake, the link with the labor markets, as well as many other issues. One of the conclusions drawn is that law schools will have to seek their own position and niche, and that they will have different roles. The book also focuses on the need for law school deans and leaders to set clear mission statements and strategies and work towards education that provides all the necessary skills and knowledge that students can take with them into their future careers.

Book Synopsis Cases, Materials and Text on National, Supranational and International Non-Discrimination Law by : Dagmar Schiek
Download or read book Cases, Materials and Text on National, Supranational and International Non-Discrimination Law written by Dagmar Schiek and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2007-08-31 with total page 701 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This casebook, the result of the collaborative efforts of a panel of experts from various EU Member States, is the latest in the Ius Commune Casebook series developed at the Universities of Maastricht and Leuven. The book provides a comprehensive and skilfully designed resource for students, practitioners, researchers, public officials, NGOs, consumer organisations and the judiciary. In common with earlier books in the series, this casebook presents cases and other materials (legislative materials, international and European materials, excerpts from books or articles). As non-discrimination law is a comparatively new subject, the chapters search for and develop the concepts of discrimination law on the basis of a wide variety of young and often still emerging case law and legislation. The result is a comprehensive textbook with materials from a wide variety of EU Member States. The book is entirely in English (i.e. materials are translated where not available in English). At the end of each chapter a comparative overview ties the material together, with emphasis, where appropriate, on existing or emerging general principles in the legal systems within Europe. The book illustrates the distinct relationship between international, European and national legislation in the field of non-discrimination law. It covers the grounds of discrimination addressed in the Racial Equality and Employment Equality Directives, as well as non-discrimination law relating to gender. In so doing, it covers the law of a large number of EU Member States, alongside some international comparisons. The Ius Commune Casebook on Non-Discrimination Law - provides practitioners with ready access to primary and secondary legal material needed to assist them in crafting test case strategies. - provides the judiciary with the tools needed to respond sensitively to such cases. - provides material for teaching non-discrimination law to law and other students. - provides a basis for ongoing research on non-discrimination law. - provides an up-to-date overview of the implementation of the Directives and of the state of the law. This Casebook is the result of a project which has been supported by a grant from the European Commission's Anti-Discrimination Programme.

Download or read book EULOCS written by Gert Vermeulen and published by Maklu. This book was released on 2009 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The EU Level Offence Classification System (EULOCS) brings together the current EU substantive criminal law acquis, building essentially on offence definitions referred to in legal instruments included in the EU Justice and Home Affairs (EU JHA) acquis. In doing so, EULOCS clarifies the scope between EU competence and national sovereignty with regard to defining criminal behavior. With this book, EULOCS is bench-marked as a reference index for serving various needs in the broader EU criminal policy area, having the potential to significantly enhance the internal coherence thereof. The proposed reference index, with offence definitions inherent to it, fundamentally addresses the problem created by the organic elaboration and adoption of legal instruments at the EU level, making reference to certain offence categories the scope or definition whereof is most often either not clarified or indicated, or left to the discretion of the individual Member States. Before elaborating on the creation of EULOCS - the methodology used, its main characteristics, and the potential for further development in the coming years - this book contains a brief overview of the incoherence in the EU JHA field and a reference to the EU study to implement the Action Plan to measure crime and criminal justice, conducted for the European Commission in the course of 2008-2009, in the context of which EULOCS has been created. Most importantly, the full EULOCS, with all its complementary variables and context fields, has been inserted. This book is essential reading for EU policy makers, judicial and law enforcement authorities throughout the Union, as well as those in a broader international context. It will be particularly appealing also to the research community and anyone involved in or taking an interest in justice and home affairs or criminal policy initiatives in the EU.
Book Synopsis The Enigma of Comparative Law by : Esin Örücü
Download or read book The Enigma of Comparative Law written by Esin Örücü and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-12-14 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Viewing the contested theme Comparative Law as an 'Enigma', this book explores its fundamental issues as sub-themes, each covered in two variations. After the Overture, the author pulls some strands together in the Intermezzo, uses a free hand in the Cadenza, and asks the reader to draw her own conclusions in the Finale. By this method two fundamentally opposed views are exposed in each Chapter. The what, why and how of comparative law, comparative law and legal education, comparative law and judges, and comparative law and law reform by transposition are explored. The author also examines current debates of comparative law such as law and culture, deconstruction of classifications, mixing systems, limits of comparability, convergence/non-convergence and ius commune novum. By following this two-pronged approach, the book covers many important aspects of comparative law in a refreshing manner not seen in any other work. It is provocative and discursive, bringing together for the reader major developments of comparative law. The book ends by asking 'Where are we going?'.

Book Synopsis Historical and Philosophical Foundations of European Legal Culture by : Dawid Bunikowski
Download or read book Historical and Philosophical Foundations of European Legal Culture written by Dawid Bunikowski and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-06 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ambitious book examines the historical, theoretical, and axiological foundations of European legal culture, and explores their practical impacts on current European law and legal ways of thinking in Europe. Including considerations about the history of law as well contemporary legal issues, the book consists of seven chapters authored by scholars from across the globe, from Italy to Taiwan. This volume shows that it is possible to speak of one European legal culture in terms of various countries’ common legal origins (Roman law, Greek philosophy, and medieval jurisprudence as the ius commune), while also discussing distinct national legal cultures and traditions in Europe. However, to understand the present day law and legal profession, it is necessary to go back to the values, theories, and thinkers which were influential in the progress of European law from ancient times to the 19th century. The book not only presents the theoretical and historical issues of European legal culture, but also acquaints the audience with the true axiological foundations of our contemporary legal institutions, and the methods of legal thinking in Europe. It is clear that many of our current legal concepts and institutions come from theorists such as Aristotle, Ulpian, Aquinas, Hobbes and Savigny. The book will be of particular interest to scholars and students of legal history, jurisprudence, and European law, especially in the context of the origins of European legal culture. Moreover, it will also appeal to all lawyers working in both the common law and the civil law traditions wishing to gain a greater understanding of European legal heritage.
