This book was released on 2023-07-25 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of law is a pursuit that requires deep exploration and understanding of its fundamental principles and their application in different legal systems. The complexities of law can be both intriguing and challenging, and a comprehensive analysis of the dichotomy between public and private law is essential to grasp the nuances of legal relationships and remedies. In this book, we embark on an intellectual journey, meticulously examining the dichotomy of public and private law and its significance in the legal landscape. We begin by tracing the genesis of public law and unraveling the boundaries that distinguish it from private law. Exploring the parties involved, the nature of legal relationships, and the remedies and procedures available, we lay the groundwork for a comprehensive understanding of this multifaceted dichotomy. As we delve deeper into the subject matter, we challenge existing notions and encourage readers to rethink the boundaries of public and private law. The separation of powers, a cornerstone of democratic systems, assumes a new dimension as we analyze its evolving nature and its influence on legal systems across the globe. We explore the transformation of natural law and its impact on the domain of public law, shedding light on the dynamic interplay between legal principles and societal changes. Furthermore, we explore the role of public and private law in the era of globalization, recognizing the interconnectedness of legal systems and the challenges posed by an increasingly interconnected world. By examining the rule of law and the doctrine of separation of powers in Islamic and socialist legal systems, we gain valuable insights into alternative approaches to legal governance and the protection of human rights. A comprehensive exploration of civil legal systems, including the Romano-German legal system, mixed legal systems, and common law traditions, forms a crucial part of our analysis. From Germany to France, Switzerland to Finland, and beyond, we examine the constitutional frameworks, judicial independence, court systems, and legal aid provisions that define these legal systems and shape their application in society. As we traverse through the chapters, we also explore the legal systems of Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, Ireland, Canada, Australia, Singapore, South Africa, and India, unraveling the intricacies of their legal frameworks and the principles that underpin them. From written constitutions to the structure of governments, from the powers of the judiciary to the protection of fundamental rights, we delve into the unique characteristics of each legal system, offering a comprehensive analysis for readers. Additionally, we delve into the principles of natural justice and their significance in the Indian legal system. We explore the role of the Ombudsman in India, the right to information, and the juxtaposition of private and public laws, providing valuable insights into the evolving landscape of legal governance in India. Moreover, we delve into the socialist legal systems of Russia and the People's Republic of China, analyzing their written constitutions, governance structures, and the role of the judiciary within their legal frameworks. By examining the incorporation of rights and duties, the rigidity of the constitution, and the hierarchy of courts, we gain a deeper understanding of the legal systems of these nations. Finally, we explore the Muslim legal systems of Iran, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia, shedding light on their unique characteristics and their influence on legal governance within these nations. Through our exploration of private and public law, we also analyze the practices of states, the interpretation of constitutions, the philosophy of rights and liberties, and the right to equality. Furthermore, we delve into the jurisprudential aspects of private and public law, examining influential theories and concepts that shape our understanding of legal systems and their functioning. This book serves as a comprehensive guide for legal scholars, practitioners, students, and anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the complexities of public and private law. Our aim is to facilitate critical thinking, foster academic discourse, and contribute to the advancement of legal knowledge in a rapidly changing world. We invite you to embark on this intellectual journey, exploring the intricacies of legal systems and gaining a deeper understanding of the dichotomy between public and private law. Happy reading!

Download or read book A Written Constitution for Quebec written by Richard Albert and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2023-01-15 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No province in Canada has codified a written constitution, and whether Quebec should be the first remains a controversial question. A Written Constitution for Quebec? enters into the debate, drawing a roadmap through the legal, political, and constitutional terrain of the issue. Leading scholars each take their own position in the debate, examining the issue from various sides and exploring the forms and limits of a codified Quebec constitution by asking whether Quebec should adopt a written constitution, how the province might go about it, and what such a document might achieve. Along with a comprehensive introduction to constitutional codification and how it relates to Quebec, the book opens with a proposal for a written constitution, with the analyses that follow expressing a diversity of views on the feasibility and desirability of a written constitution for the province. An array of perspectives through the lenses of Indigenous inclusion and reconciliation, interculturalism and democratic constitutionalism, and insights from other federal and plurinational states – are included in this wide-ranging volume. Taking a doctrinal, historical, theoretical, and comparative approach, A Written Constitution for Quebec? extensively addresses Quebec’s constitutional future in Canada.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The process used to select judges of the Supreme Court of Canada has provoked criticism from the start. Some observers argue the process - where the prime minister has unfettered discretion - suffers from a democratic deficit, but there is also disagreement regarding alternative methods of selection. The Democratic Dilemma: Reforming Canada's Supreme Court explores the institutional features of the Court, whether the existing process used to select judges ought to be reformed, the overall legitimacy of the Court, as well as the selection and appointment processes of Supreme Court justices in other liberal democracies. This book will be of special interest to students and scholars of Canadian federalism, the judiciary, and comparative supreme courts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors use confidential interviews with Supreme Court justices, analysis of their rulings from 1970 to 2005, and measures that tap their perceived ideological tendencies to provide a critical examination of the ideological roots of judicial decision making, uncovering the complexity of contemporary judicial behaviour. Examining judicial behaviour through the lens of three different research strategies grounded in qualitative and quantitative methodologies, Law, Ideology, and Collegiality presents compelling evidence that political ideology is a key factor in decision making and a prominent source of conflict in the Supreme Court of Canada.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Rule of Law, Justice, and Interpretation Luc Tremblay analyses and refutes the positivist legal theory that prevails in Canadian constitutional practice. Using the techniques of critical theory, hermeneutic interpretation, and analytical jurisprudence he shows that the dominant interpretations of the central legal doctrines of the rule of law and the sovereignty of Parliament are incoherent. The analysis opens the way for the construction of a bold alternative theory of legal discourse and practice based on the concept of the rule of law itself.
