Download or read book Introduction to Dutch Law written by Larissa van den Herik and published by Kluwer Law International. This book was released on 2022-01-27 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A standard legal resource since its first edition in 1978, this matchless book has proven itself the ideal overview of Dutch law for foreign lawyers. This Sixth Edition fully updates its systematic description of the legal sources, institutions, and concepts in all major fields of law. Recent developments covered include the progressive implementation of standards set by international conventions, the reorganization of the judiciary, the statute on environmental law, and the (re)codification of private international law. The continuing influence of European law is evident in many fields, perhaps most notably in family law. The various chapters are written by experts - scholars and lawyers - in particular fields, and provide an authoritative overview of each field. The historical sources of Dutch law are discussed, as well as Dutch legal culture, legal philosophy, judicial organization, legal education, and the legal profession. These chapters are followed by introductions to essential issues of private and public law and labour law. The last chapter examines financial law. The only resource of its kind available, this book is unmatched as a thorough guide to further research. It offers practitioners, particularly foreign lawyers, a quick and reliable way into any area of Dutch law that they may be required to research. It will also be of great value to comparatists (especially those studying the influence of European law on national legal systems), scholars, and students. Like previous editions, the Sixth Edition has been prepared under the auspices of the Netherlands Comparative Law Association.

Download or read book The Dutch Constitution Beyond 200 Years written by Giuseppe Franco Ferrari and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers the updated papers presented at a seminar in Leiden, the Netherlands in November 2016, which was organized by the Italian Public Comparative and European Law Association (DPCE), and the Department of Constitutional and Administrative Law of Leiden University, in celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Dutch Constitution. The seminar brought together a group of Italian and Dutch scholars to discuss timely constitutional themes, such as fundamental rights, constitutional change, parliamentary democracy, and constitutional review using the unique and relatively unknown Dutch constitutional experience as a focal point. The method of dialectic confrontation between Dutch and Italian scholars, founded on comparative law, proved to be a productive one. The meeting of national schools and the exchange of ideas and commentaries between scholars of different countries is a great stimulus for acquiring a better understanding of Dutch and comparative constitutional law.

Download or read book Constitutional Idolatry and Democracy written by Brian Christopher Jones and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2020-06-26 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constitutional Idolatry and Democracy investigates the increasingly important subject of constitutional idolatry and its effects on democracy. Focussed around whether the UK should draft a single written constitution, it suggests that constitutions have been drastically and persistently over-sold throughout the years, and that their wider importance and effects are not nearly as significant as constitutional advocates maintain. Chapters analyse whether written constitutions can educate the citizenry, invigorate voter turnout, or deliver ‘We the People’ sovereignty.

Download or read book European Yearbook of Constitutional Law 2020 written by Ernst Hirsch Ballin and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-27 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Yearbook of Constitutional Law (EYCL) is an annual publication devoted to the study of constitutional law. It aims to provide a forum for in-depth analysis and discussion of new developments in the field, both in Europe and beyond. This second volume examines the constitutional positioning of cities across space and time. Unrelenting urbanisation means that most people are, or soon will be, living in cities and that city administrations become, in many respects, their quintessential governing units. Cities are places where State power is operationalised and concretised; where laws and government policies transform from parchment objectives to practical realities. In a similar vein, cities are also places for the realisation of the constitutional rights and liberties enjoyed by individuals. The book is organised around three sets of relations that await further unpacking in theory as well as practice: that between cities and other institutions in the national constitutional architecture; that between cities and their inhabitants; and that between cities and international organisations. The contributions to this book show the marked diversity in the role and powers available to cities in Europe and beyond, and identify principles and approaches to help stipulate new ways of thinking about the legal role and relevance of cities going forward. Ernst Hirsch Ballin is distinguished university professor at Tilburg University and vice-dean for research of Tilburg Law School. Gerhard van der Schyff is associate professor at Tilburg Law School, Department of Public Law and Governance. Maarten Stremler is lecturer at Maastricht University, Faculty of Law, Department of Public Law. Maartje De Visser is associate professor at SMU School of Law, Singapore.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each legal system has its peculiarities and Dutch law is no exception. To understand a legal system profoundly, it is not enough to study the legal rules in isolation. In this book, the Dutch legal system is explained in relation to its values and cultural background. The basics of the main areas of law, constitutional, criminal and private law, are discussed clearly. In addition, specific topics are introduced in which the connection between Dutch law and its culture and values are investigated in detail: legislation, criminal drugs policy, and family law. The background of Dutch law is given with an introduction to the system as a whole, to legal history, and the court system. Throughout the book, the European context of the Dutch system is taken into consideration.

Download or read book Constitutional Law of 15 EU Member States written by Lucas Prakke and published by . This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 979 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was first published in Dutch in 1981. It was called `Het staatsrecht van de landen der Europese Gemeenschappen' (Constitutional Law of the EC Member States) and covered the then nine member states of the European Communities. Since that time, new editions have come to include new member states. The fifth edition, which was published in 1998, dealt with all fifteen countries that belonged to the European Union before the accession of ten new ones in 2004. An updated sixth edition, containing chapters on the same fifteen countries, was published in the spring of 2004. It is this sixth edition which is now presented in an English translation for the first time. The work describes in depth, though not in detail, the constitutional systems of Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Each chapter starts with a sketch of the constitutional history as an indispensable background to a proper understanding of the relevant constitution as it operates today. The outline of the constitutional system which follows deals with the sources of constitutional law, the federal or unitary character of the state (or something in between!), the head of state, the government, parliament, executive-legislative relationships, the legislative process, parliamentary scrutiny of government activity, electoral system, political parties, post-World War II election results and governments, the judiciary, regional and local government, and fundamental rights. The chapters conclude with a short bibliography. This book has been a highly successful teaching and research tool in the Netherlands for almost 25 years, and it is hoped its English edition will now fulfill the same function for a wider audience. The authors are all recognized authorities in the field of comparative constitutional law, many of them having extensive practical experience as politicians, judges or senior civil servants.
