Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journalists' right to use confidential information and anonymous sources is considered to be one of the cornerstones of press freedom and democracy. A legislation called shield law or reporter's privilege protects journalists from being compelled to testify about confidential information, simplifies the situation regarding sources of delicate information, and ultimately advances the free flow of information in society.The rudimentary objectives of shield laws are widely accepted in democratic societies. The goal is to promote open communication about important but sensitive topics. In the absence of a privilege journalists would be more cautious of the consequences of their stories and sources would communicate less openly. If the sources believe that their identities may be disclosed, the future news sources may be hesitant to provide information and public discussion would suffer from so called chilling effect.In spite of rather commonly shared understanding of the benefits of shield laws as a vital part of journalisms watchdog function, there is a great deal of variations on how privilege is regulated in different countries, states, and territories. The scope of shield law, persons covered, interpretation power of judges, and exceptions for the main rule vary considerably among jurisdictions. The differences reflect not only details of stipulation but also fundamental principles behind the objectives of legislature.The balance between encouraging access to information and maintaining effective justice system is the core of the variations between jurisdictions. In order to gather sensitive/delicate news, journalists must sometimes guarantee their sources' confidentiality. Courts and judges, on the other hand, have a competing interest in obtaining the information they need to prosecute criminal cases. The approach on this balance delineates the special characteristics of journalist's privilege in each jurisdiction.This paper presents a classification of shield law legislations based on comparisons within and among Australia, Finland, Germany, Norway, Sweden, and the US.

Download or read book Transatlantic Jurisdictional Conflicts in Data Protection Law written by Mistale Taylor and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-04-13 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at transatlantic jurisdictional conflicts in data protection law and how the fundamental right to data protection conditions the EU's exercise of extraterritorial jurisdiction. Governments, companies and individuals are handling ever more digitised personal data, so it is increasingly important to ensure this data is protected. Meanwhile, the Internet is changing how territory and jurisdiction are realised online. The EU promotes personal data protection as a fundamental right. Especially since the EU's General Data Protection Regulation started applying in 2018, its data protection laws have had strong effects beyond its territory. In contrast, similar US information privacy laws are rooted in the marketplace and carry less normative heft. This has provoked clashes with the EU when their values, interests and laws conflict. This research uses three case studies to suggest ways to mitigate transatlantic jurisdictional tensions over data protection and security, the free flow of information and trade.
Download or read book A Theory of Shield Laws written by Dean C. Smith and published by LFB Scholarly Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this history of debate over journalistsOCO confidential sources, starting in 1894, Smith employs contemporary theories of constitutional interpretation to weave a surprising narrative melding legislature-made statutory law and court-made constitutional law. Working under the banner of popular constitutionalism, Smith tests Michael GerhardtOCOs theory of non-judicial precedents to illuminate the role journalists and press advocates played in shaping the path of constitutional law and giving voice to deeply felt First Amendment values. Along the way, the author corrects the historical record in important ways, including recasting events that led to the nationOCOs first shield law in 1896."

Download or read book Data Protection Law written by Robert Walters and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-04 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comparison and practical guide for academics, students, and the business community of the current data protection laws in selected Asia Pacific countries (Australia, India, Indonesia, Japan Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand) and the European Union. The book shows how over the past three decades the range of economic, political, and social activities that have moved to the internet has increased significantly. This technological transformation has resulted in the collection of personal data, its use and storage across international boundaries at a rate that governments have been unable to keep pace. The book highlights challenges and potential solutions related to data protection issues arising from cross-border problems in which personal data is being considered as intellectual property, within transnational contracts and in anti-trust law. The book also discusses the emerging challenges in protecting personal data and promoting cyber security. The book provides a deeper understanding of the legal risks and frameworks associated with data protection law for local, regional and global academics, students, businesses, industries, legal profession and individuals.

Book excerpt: Consent is necessary for collecting, processing and transferring Personal Identifiable Information (PII) and sensitive personal data. But to what extent? What are the limitations and restricts to avoid penalties under The General Data Protection Regulation 2018 (GDPR) rules, which may be up to 4% of annual global turnover or €20 million (whichever is higher), enforcements and sanctions? Under GDPR Article 51, each EU Member State shall maintain an independent public authority to be responsible for monitoring the application of this regulation to protect the fundamental rights of data subjects (Supervisory Authority). The Supervisory Authority has powers to issue warnings, conduct audits, recommend remediation, order erasure of data and suspend data transfers to a third country. GDPR has changed the way data is used, accessed and stored. It's reach extends well beyond the European Union and is the basis of other data privacy laws around the world. This book provides a review and guidance on implementing and compliance of GDPR while taking advantage of technology innovations and supported by real-life examples. The book shows the wide scope of applications to protect data privacy while taking advantage of processes and techniques in various fields such as eDiscovery, Cyber Insurance, Virtual-based Intelligence, Information Security, Cyber Security, Information Governance, Blockchain and Biometric technologies and techniques.

Download or read book Side Effects and Complications written by Casey B. Mulligan and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-10-20 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Affordable Care Act will have a dangerous effect on the American economy. That may sound like a political stance, but it’s a conclusion directly borne out by economic forecasts. In Side Effects and Complications, preeminent labor economist Casey B. Mulligan brings to light the dire economic realities that have been lost in the ideological debate over the ACA, and he offers an eye-opening, accessible look at the price American citizens will pay because of it. Looking specifically at the labor market, Mulligan reveals how the costs of health care under the ACA actually create implicit taxes on individuals, and how increased costs to employers will be passed on to their employees. Mulligan shows how, as a result, millions of workers will find themselves in a situation in which full-time work, adjusted for the expense of health care, will actually pay less than part-time work or even not working at all. Analyzing the incentives—or lack thereof—for people to earn more by working more, Mulligan offers projections on how many hours people will work and how productively they will work, as well as how much they will spend in general. Using the powerful tools of economics, he then illustrates the detrimental consequences on overall employment in the near future. Drawing on extensive knowledge of the labor market and the economic theories at its foundation, Side Effects and Complications offers a crucial wake-up call about the risks the ACA poses for the economy. Plainly laying out the true costs of the ACA, Mulligan’s grounded and thorough predictions are something that workers and policy makers cannot afford to ignore.
Download or read book Speaking the Law written by Kenneth Anderson and published by Hoover Institution Press. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Barack Obama came into office, the strategic landscape facing the United States in its overseas counterterrorism operations was undergoing a shift. Even before the rise of drones necessitated the articulation of legal doctrine, the Obama administration had to explain itself. In Speaking the Law, the authors offer a detailed examination of the speeches of the Obama administration on national security legal issues. Viewed together here for the first time, the authors lay out a broad array of legal and policy positions regarding a large number of principles currently contested at both the domestic and international levels. The book describes what the Obama administration has said about the legal framework in which it is operating with respect to such questions as the nature of the war on terrorism, the use of drones and targeted killings, detention, trial by military commission and in federal courts, and interrogation. The authors analyze this framework, examining the stresses on it and asking where the administration got matters right and where they were wrong. They conclude with suggestions for certain reforms to the framework for the administration and Congress to consider.
Download or read book Complex Battlespaces written by LTC Winston S. Williams and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-23 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conduct of warfare is constantly shaped by new forces that create complexities in the battlespace for military operations. As the nature of how and where wars are fought changes, new challenges to the application of the extant body of international law that regulates armed conflicts arise. This inaugural volume of the Lieber Studies Series seeks to address several issues in the confluence of law and armed conflict, with the primary goal of providing the reader with both academic and practitioner perspectives. Featuring chapters from world class scholars, policymakers and other government officials; military and civilian legal practitioners; and other thought leaders, together they examine the role of the law of armed conflict in current and future armed conflicts around the world. Complex Battlespaces also explores several examples of battlespace dynamics through four "lenses of complexity": complexity in legal regimes, governance, technology, and the urbanization of the battlefield.
