Free At Last To Vote - The Alabama Origins Of The 1965 Voting Rights Act

de Brian K. Landsberg

52,81€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Although the heroism of last century’s freedom marches will long be credited for ending racial discrimination, civil rights legislation owes much to work done more quietly in the district courtrooms of the South. This book expands our understanding of how the Voting Rights Act came about by focusing on several key cases in Alabama that paved the way for this landmark legislation.Brian Landsberg—himself a participant in many of these trials—argues that Department of Justice litigation contributed significantly to the content of the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act. His close analysis of these trials shows how they helped pave the way for the dramatic expansion of federal power in combating racist enforcement of voting laws. Focusing on three out of the seventy voting rights cases filed between 1957 and 1965, he reveals how the DOJ, newly armed with authority to bring civil suits against voting discrimination, aggressively pursued its efforts to enforce the Reconstruction Amendments.These cases in Elmore, Sumter, and Perry counties helped to expose the chasm between the objectives of the Fifteenth Amendment and the practices of southern voter registrars—and the equally deep chasm between practices in the Deep South and those in the rest of the country—by showing that a simple requirement of racial neutrality wasn’t enough to guard against discrimination. The VRA adopted many of the stringent remedies that emerged from these trials, including the appointment of federal officials to observe elections and maintain lists of eligible voters and the need for federal approval for changes in local voting procedures.Landsberg highlights a long-neglected but vitally important chapter in the history of the civil rights movement and puts a human face on the struggle for the right to vote, enhancing our understanding of the efforts blacks made to register, the doubts of even moderate whites, and the role of federal agents in protecting voter rights. His study is especially welcome in light of the controversy surrounding the VRA’s recent renewal in 2006, which caught glimpses of the pre-VRA South, and current concerns over new and emerging forms of disenfranchisement.

Injunctive Relief And Standard Essential Patents. An Indian Perspective

de Devank Kumar Singh

17,91€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Master's Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Law - Media, Multimedia Law, Copyright, grade: 10/10, , course: LL.M. in Intellectual Property and Technology Laws, language: English, abstract: This dissertation explores the intricate world of Standard Essential Patents (SEPs) and their effects on the technology sector, with a particular emphasis on the Indian legal system. Recent conflicts have made SEPs, which include patents essential to industry-adopted technical standards, a significant component of the technology sector. Standardization has several advantages, including interoperability and cost savings, but it also carries the possibility of the "hold-up" issue. In this situation, SEP holders might demand outrageous royalties from implementers by abusing their influence in standard development. Standard Setting Organizations (SSOs) mandate that SEP owners license their patents under FRAND conditions in order to remedy this problem. However, the lack of defined legislation governing SEPs creates a specialized area where de-facto judicial orders and de-jure SSO norms have a substantial impact on establishing ordinary practice. The dissertation is divided into four sections to fully examine the subject. The obligations of SEP holders and the viability of FRAND conditions are examined in Part I. Part II explores the mechanisms of patent hold-up and hold-out while attempting to be fair. In order to unify methods worldwide, Part III performs a comparative review of injunctive relief rights and liabilities in the USA, the EU, and India. Last but not least, Part IV suggests the best course of action for India's injunctive relief on SEPs, taking into account the country's expanding economy and reliance on technology imports. The ultimate objective is to strike a balance that encourages fair access to standard technology, benefits Indian consumers and producers, and reduces the possibility of monopolistic tendencies. This study intends to provide the Indian regime with useful modifications based on the lessons learned from the experiences of other jurisdictions in order to promote a just and vibrant innovation sector there.

Little Book Of Environment And Restorative Justice - A Multidimensional Approach To Undoing Settler Harms

~~37,09€~~ 33,38€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 A restorative approach to environmentaljustice. This little book discusses paths to address environmental conflicts based on a restorative justice perspective of imagining, practicing, and living justice. It proposes an approach that understands the relationship between humankind and environment beyond the narrow conception of homo economicus, considering the human beings in their social, political, economic, historic, spiritual, cognitive, emotional, aesthetic, and ecological dimensions, as well as in their connection with nature and non-human entities. When applied to environmental problematics, restorative justice needs to widen its perspective beyond an anthropocentric worldview, transcending the interpretation that human beings are the exclusively subjects of dignity, rights, needs, and speech capability. It is necessary to dilate horizons towards non-human entities and the natural spaces we inhabit and with whom we are deeply connected. This dilation should stimulate justice experiences that integrate building peace, sustainability, and good living, beyond ideas such as unlimited economic growth and even sustainable development. To this end, a restorative conception of justice implies an expanded understanding of justice that faces structural, cultural, institutional, and historical violence, as well as deals with intergenerational responsibility that integrate the present generations to those of the past in order to build the desired future for the generations to come.

Regulating Conception - Science, Politics, And Reproductive Genetic Innovation

de Myrisha S. Lewis

~~30,73€~~ 27,66€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Uncovers the hidden federal regulation of assisted reproductive technology and reproductive genetic innovation The use of assisted reproductive technology (ART) has become increasingly prevalent in society, with approximately 42% of American adults reporting in 2023 that they or someone they know has undergone fertility treatment. Yet, while traditional ART techniques like artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization (IVF) have led to the birth of millions of children worldwide, their use and research has remained contested within the American regulatory sphere. In Regulating Conception, Myrisha S. Lewis assesses the moral, political and social issues that influence the federal regulation of ART and reproductive genetic innovation. Contrasting the prevailing viewpoint that ART is minimally regulated, Lewis uncovers how ART techniques that combine IVF with genetic modification or substitution face hidden regulations from federal agencies that curtail access to reproductive genetic innovation. Though the jurisdictional basis of these agency actions has never been clearly articulated, agency employees continue to use agency-issued letters and advisories to deter practitioners of reproductive genetic innovation. In doing so, these actions limit access to life-altering reproductive technologies in the United States and further disparities in access to assisted reproduction. Exposing the extent of over-regulation assisted reproduction in the US, Regulating Conception urges the minimal regulation of assisted reproduction and reproductive genetic innovation in place of clandestine regulation, to increase transparency and safeguard reproductive rights.

Relational Justice - A Theory Of Private Law

de Avihay Dorfman e Hanoch Dagan

~~99,38€~~ 89,44€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 What makes private law private? What is its domain? What are the values it promotes? Relational Justice: A Theory of Private Law addresses these foundational questions in a robust analysis of the key doctrines of private law, including torts, contracts, and restitution.Discarding the vision of private law as a bastion of negative duties of non-interference or efficiency maximization, this book reframes private law in terms of what it calls 'relational justice' - reciprocal respect for self-determination and substantive equality. By vindicating self-determination, private law can forge the horizontal interactions vital to the ability to shape and implement a conception of the good life. By structuring these interactions in terms requiring parties to respect one another for who they are, private law can cast them as interactions between equals. In the book's first part, the authors set out a normative position they term relational justice, whereby the rules of private law abide by the fundamental maxim of reciprocal respect for self-determination and substantive equality. The second part of the book applies this framework to an analysis of familiar private law doctrinal areas, followed by a third part charting newer areas including workplace safety, poverty, discrimination, and implications for international law. Throughout, the authors show how relational justice theory provides a normative vocabulary for evaluating core features of existing private law, while suggesting directions for necessary or desirable reforms.

 Since the beginning of the 20th century, various attempts have been made by legal scholars to draft a Civil Code in China. However, only since the 1980s, when the 'open-door' policy was implemented, has Chinese Civil law become the basis for the development of a socialist market economy.

For the completion of a systematic civil law structure, a Civil Code has now been further advocated by society. The Draft Civil Code, prepared by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences headed by Liang Huixing, is the first Draft Civil Code since the establishment of the People's Republic of China. The English translation of this code aims to provide a source for western scholars to provide some knowledge on recent developments of Chinese civil law.Also available as a Paperback edition (978-90-04-17915-8).
