Rising Roles In Law - Designing The Ai-Enabled, Data-Driven Law Firm

de Ali Chaudhry, Amy Merrick, Catriona Wolfenden, Colin S Levy, Harry Borovick, Isabel Parker, Ken Crutchfield, Matthew Dunne, Olga Mack, Rebecca Pasternak e Valerie Saintot

~~230,49€~~ 207,44€ 10% IMEDIATO

 Law firms are undergoing structural change at a pace not previously seen in the profession. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are reshaping research, drafting, and knowledge work; clients are demanding increasing levels of efficiency, transparency, and innovation; and alternative legal service providers and the Big Four continue to expand, offering clients an ever-widening array of options and restricting law firms slice of the market. As AI becomes increasingly embedded in legal operations and practice, legal professionals and support teams find their roles evolving, moving beyond pure practice support into a more strategic function. As profitability pressures intensify in response to technological innovation, law firms are hiring beyond the traditional associatepartner track. Roles that barely existed five years ago such as legal engineer, head of AI, legal data scientist, or client solutions architect are now central to firm strategy, directly impacting profitability, operational efficiency, and competitive differentiation. However, this wave of innovation has brought uncertainty and risk, and many firms stand at the precipice of an AI-enabled transformation, convinced that these newly formed roles and technologies are critical to future success but unsure of how they should be operationalized to create increased value, efficiency, and productivity. Currently, there is no comprehensive, practical guide to aid firms in navigating this unchartered territory. Rising Roles in Law: Designing the AI-Enabled, Data-Driven Law Firm fills that gap, delving into the people and roles driving transformation and mapping the workforce architecture of the AI-enabled firm. In a first-of-its-kind guide to the AI-enabled law firm workforce, law firm leaders, innovation professionals, and technologists will explore what these newly formed roles involve, how they interact, how firms should structure them, and what this means for leadership and career pathways. With emphasis on practical insight, case studies and implementation guidance, Rising Roles in Law will equip readers with the data-driven insights and actionable strategies needed to embrace AI's potential and harness its power to shape the future of legal operations.

'Secret' Family Court - Fact Or Fiction?

de Clifford Bellamy

11,02€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 For approaching two decades, family courts have been accused of making life changing decisions about children and who they live with made in secret, away from the scrutiny of the public gaze. Recognising the force of these accusations, senior family courts judges have, over that time, implemented a raft of rule changes, pilot projects and judicial guidance aimed at making the family justice more accountable and transparent.But has any progress been made? Are there still suspicions that family judges make irrevocable, unaccountable decisions in private hearings? And if so, are those suspicions justified and what can be done to dispel them?In this important and timely new book, Clifford Bellamy, a recently retired family judge who has been at the sharp end of family justice during all these changes, attempts to answer those questions and more. He has spoken to leading journalists, judges and academic researchers to find out what the obstacles to open reporting are be they legal, economic or cultural - and interweaves their insights with informed analysis on how the laws regulating family court reporting operate. Along the way he provides a comprehensive review of the raft of initiatives he has seen come and go, summarises the position now and uses this experience to suggest how this fundamental aspect of our justice system could adapt in the face of this criticism.Every professional working in the family justice system lawyers, social workers, court staff and judges - as well as those who job it is to report on legal affairs, should read this informative, nuanced exposition of what open justice means and why it matters so much to those whose lives are upended by the family justice system.

Copyright, Contract, And Video Games - Terms Of Play

de Amy Thomas

~~107,33€~~ 96,60€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book uncovers how video game contracts act as monologues of power, moulding players to align with proprietary ideologies. In the era of interactive technologies, the player emerges as a vital yet curiously overlooked figure. While copyright law governs the creation and distribution of these technologies, it sidesteps the player, leaving private contracts to define their role and obligations. Using video games as a case study, this book fills the gap left by copyright law, offering an innovative socio-legal methodology to interrogate and challenge harmful contractual norms.By analysing contracts as a form of critical discourse, the book exposes the contradictions and idealisations embedded in these agreements, which often serve to reinforce industry priorities. It is an essential resource for scholars in intellectual property law, video game studies, and socio-legal research, contributing to pressing debates on user rights and the shifting balance of power in interactive industries.With its fresh perspective on the interplay of copyright, contract, and cultural participation, the book redefines the player's role in a rapidly evolving digital landscape, offering new tools to understand and critique the legal frameworks shaping this most interactive of industries.

Rights-Based Inter-Legal Approach To Artificial Intelligence

de Elif Biber

~~107,33€~~ 96,60€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 How can European public law effectively address the profound rights challenges posed by AI systems? This groundbreaking book delves into this pressing question by critically analysing the limitations of current regulatory frameworks, including the Artificial Intelligence Act, the General Data Protection Regulation, and European human rights law. Drawing on leading judgments from the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union, the book explores real-world case studies of AI systems employed by public authorities, highlighting their impact on fundamental rights. Arguing that the EU's risk-based regulation approach falls short in protecting fundamental and human rights, the author introduces a compelling alternative: a rights-based inter-legal approach grounded in the theory of inter-legality. This innovative framework emphasises the 'publicness' and 'inter-systemic' nature of AI, advocating for a lifecycle perspective from design to deployment and beyond.Rich with legal insights and practical methodology, this book presents a three-step adjudication model to integrate the inter-legal approach into European legal practice, paving the way for a more robust protection of fundamental principles, rules and rights in the AI era. Essential reading for scholars, policymakers and practitioners, this work redefines how Europe can lead the charge in responsible AI regulation.

Constitutional Reasoning In The Nordic Supreme Courts - An Empirical And Comparative Legal Perspective

~~113,29€~~ 101,96€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book explores the argumentative style of the supreme courts in the Nordic countries (Denmark, Iceland, Finland, Norway and Sweden).Its findings are based on empirical research involving 280 leading constitutional cases which demonstrate that the impact of a constitutional ruling often extends far beyond the cases actually adjudicated by the courts and that it is crucial to understand how judges justify their decisions in constitutional cases.In the cases researched, the authors identify and explain the common features of the Nordic constitutional reasoning, situating the Nordic experience within a broader comparative framework. The book compares these practices with those of non-Nordic jurisdictions, analysing whether and how the approaches of Nordic supreme courts align with each other and with global trends. This is made possible through the use of a well-established conceptual and methodological framework, adapted to the Nordic context. Key aspects of judicial reasoning are examined, including the emphasis placed on specific constitutional concepts, the use of non-legal arguments, the reliance on precedents, and the types of sources typically referenced such as preparatory works, foreign legal materials, and academic writings. The book is aimed at anyone interested in the constitutional culture of the Nordic countries and informs normative debates on constitutional law, both in scientific and political discourse. It contributes to the global academic discourse on constitutional reasoning with a unique perspective from the Nordic countries, which have often been overlooked in comparative research.

Double Trouble - Bigamy And The Law In England And Wales, 1604-2024

de Rebecca Probert

~~107,33€~~ 96,60€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book provides the first in-depth study of the crime of bigamy from the 17th century to the present day.Between 1604 and 2024, around 30,000 individuals were prosecuted for bigamy in England and Wales. A few were able to establish a defence to the charge, but most were convicted. How they were punished varied hugely across the centuries from execution, branding, whipping, transportation, and imprisonment through to fines and community service.Double Trouble details the legal framework that underpinned such prosecutions. As a companion volume to Double Lives: Stories of Bigamy in England and Wales, 1604 2024, it sets the offence in the context of the changing laws on marriage and divorce, and examines the consequences of bigamy for those involved, including the remedies that were available to the often-deceived second spouse.Drawing on a wide array of sources from the 17th century to the present day, including formal law reports, legal treatises, newspapers, censuses, parish registers, divorce petitions and Parliamentary debates, this book shows how bigamy should be taken seriously as an offence that all too often involved deception, abandonment and heartbreak.

de Koldo Casla

~~33,13€~~ 29,82€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In this innovative book, Koldo Casla proposes that property should be reinterpreted as a social right, arguing from the perspective of human rights and the social function that ownership must serve not only private interests but also the interests of the community.Positing that property ought to be democratically defined in accordance with its social function, Casla articulates a proposal for a new social right to property and evaluates the implications in relation to adequate housing and the private provision of public services, including transport and energy. Global case studies from Africa, Europe and Latin America demonstrate the underlying tension between an exclusivist and extractive idea of private property and the state's mandate to respect, protect and fulfil social rights.Presenting a unique method of inquiry, The Social Right to Property is of great interest to scholars, students and practitioners of international human rights law, comparative law and property theory. Its critical analysis also makes it a valuable resource for those interested in property ownership and social rights.

Laws Of Caring - The Right To Marry Defended

de Bartosz Biskup

~~33,13€~~ 29,82€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In this provocative book, Bartosz Biskup advocates for a reform of the right to marry, arguing that this right should extend beyond romantic or sexual couples to include any relationship that provides care and support.Through philosophical and legal analysis of the European Convention on Human Rights, Biskup concludes that the right to marry is currently an empty status that neglects to explain why marriage deserves special protection. He adopts an ameliorative legal philosophy to illustrate how relationships should receive legal recognition based on care and vulnerability rather than sexual intimacy. Biskup's research encompasses various common situations including adult siblings sharing a home, friends who become primary caregivers and chosen families. Rather than abolishing marriage, Biskup outlines how the institution of marriage can be improved to create a more just family law system while still upholding the human right to marry.Laws of Caring provides a novel ontological framework for understanding legal kinds and institutional change through social amendment, making it a valuable resource for scholars and students of legal philosophy, family law and social ontology. It is also highly relevant to human rights practitioners in NGOs and international organizations who focus on family diversity, especially the rights of LGBTQ+ and non-conjugal families.

Federal Impartiality - Navigating Divisive Rights In The Eu And The Us

de Mohamed Moussa

~~107,33€~~ 96,60€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Disagreements on constitutional rights (such as racial and religious discrimination or abortion) are increasingly divisive. From the role of abortion in US presidential elections to debates about the competence creep of EU fundamental rights, the question arises: should the power to decide these matters rest with a central/federal union, or be left to individual states?This book addresses this crucial federal boundary question from both theoretical and comparative perspectives. It explores how the proper allocation of decision-making power in federal systems can enhance impartiality and reduce polarisation.The book both develops and critiques the influential constitutional theory of James Madison, architect of the US Constitution and modern federalism. By tracing Madison's intellectual debt to David Hume and to common law rules on bias, it identifies gaps in his account of impartiality. It also shows how a revised Madisonian framework remains relevant to contemporary struggles in both the US and the EU over managing discord through federal structures.The book's comparative dimension explores three categories of rights, each reflecting particular forms of social disagreement: (i) minority rights, which often trigger group bias and spark division between majorities and minorities;(ii) ideologically divisive rights, such as abortion; and (iii) cases where group and ideological bias overlap, such as those pitting religious freedoms against ideologically contested measures, including bans on ritual slaughter or religious apparel in public employment.By combining comparative and theoretical contributions, the book demonstrates both the perils and the promise of federalism in securing impartiality and navigating social faction.
