The Social Constitution : Embedding Social Rights Through Legal Mobilization
In The Social Constitution, Whitney Taylor examines the conditions under which new constitutional rights become meaningful and institutionalized.Taylor introduces the concept of 'embedding' constitutional law to clarify how particular visions of law come to take root both socially and legally.Constitutional embedding can occur through legal mobilization, as citizens understand the law in their own way and make legal claims - or choose not to - on the basis of that understanding, and as judges decide whether and how to respond to legal claims.These interactions ultimately construct the content and strength of the constitutional order.Taylor draws on more than a year of fieldwork across Colombia and multiple sources of data, including semi-structured interviews, original surveys, legal documents, and participation observation.This title is part of the Flip it Open Programme and may also be available Open Access.Check our website Cambridge Core for details.

Well-Being in the Legal Profession : Altruism, Justice, and Legal Reform
This book provides a critical psychosocial analysis of legal practice, documenting a mental health crisis among lawyers and judges and linking this crisis to a dysfunctional legal system they continue to control. Tracing studies of lawyers and judges over 40 years, this book demonstrates that decades of mental distress and social detachment in the legal profession have seriously damaged the legal system.Focusing largely on conditions in the United States but also drawing on studies from the UK, Canada, Germany, and Australia, the book depicts how this system is jeopardized by lawyers’ egocentrism, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and substance abuse.To improve the legal system and lawyers’ mental health—integrating law, psychology, sociology, and policy making—the book advocates a renewed commitment to justice, compassion, respect, and fairness through an ethic of regenerative altruism. This book will appeal to legal academics concerned with the sociology of legal practice, as well as those involved in training lawyers; it will also be of interest to practicing lawyers, judges, and others engaged by issues of social justice and legal reform.

Legal Pluralism and Shari'a Law
Legal pluralism has often been associated with post-colonial legal developments especially where common law survived alongside tribal and customary laws.Focusing on Shari‘a, this book examines the legal policies and experiences of various societies with different traditions of citizenship, secularism and common law.Where large diasporic communities of migrants develop, there will be some demand for the institutionalization of Shari‘a at least in the resolution of domestic disputes.This book tests the limits of multiculturalism by exploring the issue that any recognition of cultural differences might imply similar recognition of legal differences.It also explores the debate about post-secular societies specifically to the presentation and justification of beliefs and institutions by both religious and secular citizens. This book was published as a special issue of Democracy and Security.

Comparative Law for Legal Translators
One of the central challenges facing translators of legal texts is the ability to fully understand the requirements of the various legal systems worldwide.In this respect, comparative law plays an important role in legal translation, as it allows for the identification of similarities and differences among legal systems. While the practice of legal translation requires an excellent knowledge of comparative law for the linguistic transfer to be successful, educational institutions do not usually train their students in how to make the most of comparative law in the translation of legal texts or how to rationally solve the problems arising from the differences that inevitably exist between legal systems.After emphasizing the importance of comparative law in the field of legal translation, this volume focuses on the main concepts that characterize some of the most relevant legal systems in the world and puts theory into practice by offering some exercises on comparative law applied to translation. This volume will be of interest to the growing number of students, teachers, professionals and researchers working in the field of legal translation.

What forms of legal self-justice exist?
Legal self-justice can take various forms, including self-defense, citizen's arrest, and the use of force to protect oneself or others from harm. Self-defense allows individuals to protect themselves from imminent danger or harm, using a reasonable amount of force necessary to defend themselves. Citizen's arrest permits individuals to detain someone they believe has committed a crime until law enforcement arrives. However, it is essential to ensure that any actions taken in the name of legal self-justice comply with the law and do not escalate the situation.

What does supra-legal law and legal injustice mean in the context of the Mauerschützenprozesse?
In the context of the Mauerschützenprozesse, supra-legal law refers to the unwritten rules and orders that were followed by the border guards, which were not officially sanctioned but were considered necessary for maintaining the regime's control. Legal injustice refers to the fact that the actions of the border guards, such as shooting individuals trying to escape across the Berlin Wall, were technically legal under East German law at the time, but were widely seen as unjust and inhumane. The trials of the border guards brought to light the tension between following the law and upholding moral principles, as well as the need for accountability and justice in cases where legal actions result in grave injustices.

What does supra-legal law and legal injustice mean in the context of the Mauerschützen trials?
In the context of the Mauerschützen trials, supra-legal law refers to the unwritten rules and orders that were given to the border guards, which were not officially part of the legal system but were still enforced. This allowed for actions that were technically outside the law to be carried out with impunity. Legal injustice in this context refers to the fact that many of the border guards who were tried for their actions were not held accountable for the deaths they caused, leading to a sense of injustice and lack of closure for the victims and their families.

Legal Capacity, Disability and Human Rights
Article 12 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCPD) recognises the equal right to exercise legal capacity without discrimination based on disability, and obliges state parties to ensure access to the support a person may require in exercising it.Since its adoption, there has been a growing body of work critically examining laws which restrict or remove the exercise of legal capacity based on disability.Traditionally, this work has focused on constitutional and legal standards regulating the exercise of legal capacity.However, reforming legal capacity seems to be an all-encompassing enterprise, which requires deeper attention to be paid to its historical, social and legal foundations, as well as the wide array of institutions that it permeates and their internal coherence. Legal Capacity, Disability and Human Rights comprises chapters by key legal scholars and practitioners in the field of legal capacity, disability and human rights from the Americas, Europe, Asia, Oceania and Africa.The book aims to achieve three main goals to address the aforementioned issues.First, to explore the historical evolution, theoretical constructs and institutional features of legal capacity within comparative legal systems and determine the legal and social contours it is taking in current legal reforms.In doing so, the chapters help to reveal the multiple dimensions and institutional arrangements that constitute contemporary regimes of legal capacity.Second, the chapters examine the specific ways in which evolving principles, rights and standards derived from disability law and human rights are impacting and transforming the law of legal capacity and the practice of supporting people to exercise it in jurisdictions around the world.These practices include legal reform processes and landmark judicial decisions.Finally, the book examines emerging and persistent legal questions and challenges in conceiving, designing and implementing more comprehensive reforms in legal capacity regimes, to ensure consistency with the aims of Article 12 of the UNCPD.

Legal Pluralism : New Trajectories in Law
This book examines the development and fundamental nature of legal pluralism.Legal pluralism evokes two distinctions: ‘state’ vs ‘non-state’ law; and ‘law’ vs ‘non-law’.As such, although this book focuses upon circumstances in which two or more legal orders compete to govern the same social space, it also addresses the nature of law in general.Drawing on material conflicts arising within jurisdictions such as Australia, Burundi, Cameroon, Gambia, the United States, and Zambia, this book explores the conceptual, moral, and political challenges that legal pluralism creates.Emphasising that non-state law carries no less dignity than that often ascribed to the legal orders of contemporary states, it advances a theoretically sophisticated argument in favour of recognising and respecting genuine cases of legal pluralism, wherever they arise.Accessible and thought provoking, this book will appeal to legal scholars, anthropologists, sociologists, and political and social philosophers as well as practising lawyers, judges, and policymakers who deal with issues of legal pluralism.

Liquid Legal – Humanization and the Law
“Humanization and the Law” combines two current and complementary trends in the business-to-business (B2B) market of the legal industry: digitalization and humanization. On the one hand, digital transformation in corporate legal departments and law firms continues to advance.Contract management, e-discovery, due diligence, legal operations, and forensic data analysis are just a few examples of task areas where the use of intelligent software solutions minimizes legal risks and increases compliance, enables efficiency gains and cost reductions through automation, and allows faster and more agile responses to changing market demands and client expectations. On the other hand, the increasing number of failed digitalization projects shows that technology alone is not enough to successfully transform legal departments and law firms.Software solutions must be integrated into existing work processes, be easy to use, and provide real benefits in order to be accepted by employees.People and their ability to make decisions and lead others remain the focus in an increasingly digitalized legal industry. More than 20 authors provide insights into why human aspects matter for business, what organizations can do to increase the mental well-being and motivation of their employees, and how to prevail in the upcoming war for talent in the legal industry. “The legal industry has been largely dismissive of “soft skills” and “humanizing law.” One of the paradoxes of our time is that the ascendency of automation, artificial intelligence, blockchain, Big Data, and other technological platforms has elevated, not diminished, the importance of humanity.It is not only what distinguishes us from machines but it also enables us to apply our humanity to machines.The legal function will play an important role in this process but must first take a hard look at itself.”(Mark A.Cohen, in “Foreword”)

Who has legal rights to the child in surrogacy?
In surrogacy arrangements, the legal rights to the child typically belong to the intended parents. This is usually established through a legal agreement before the surrogacy process begins. The surrogate mother, on the other hand, does not have legal rights to the child and is usually compensated for carrying and delivering the baby according to the terms of the surrogacy agreement. It is important for all parties involved to clearly outline their rights and responsibilities in a legally binding contract to avoid any potential disputes in the future.
