Download or read book Responsibility and Criminal Liability written by C.T. Sistare and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: autonomy principally in tenns of the agent's conscious choice of ends or conduct. From this, the cognitivist emphasis on mental states and their contents naturally follows. The presence of specified mental states, as signifying agent choice, thus becomes the hallmark of responsible conduct. Capacities model theorists, by contrast, interpret personal autonomy and agent responsibility in tenns of the looser notion of 'control'. From this perspective, conscious choosing is but one (highly responsible) instance of such control, and the presence or absence of mental states is primarily relevant to detennining degrees of responsibility. The examination of these two models occupies the bulk of this manuscript. Exploration of the capacities model and criticism of the orthodox view also generate treatment of legal issues such as the use of negligence liability, the nature of criminal omissions, the character of various legal defenses, and so on. Chapters 2 and 3 set out some of the thematic arguments outlined above and introduce tenninology and useful distinctions. Chapters 4 through 7 provide substantive analyses of agent responsibility and of standards of criminal liability. In these chapters, I argue for the comparative superiority of the capacities model of responsibility and offer recommendations for changes in current legal conceptions and standards of liability. Each chapter centers on an element of individual responsibility and related legal concerns. The final chapter, Chapter 8, comprises an overview of the integrated theory of responsibility and liability and its comparison with the traditional view.

Download or read book Distribution of Responsibilities in International Law written by André Nollkaemper and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-09-18 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second book in the series Shared Responsibility in International Law, which examines the problem of distribution of responsibilities among multiple states and other actors. In its work on the responsibility of states and international organisations, the International Law Commission recognised that attribution of acts to one actor does not exclude possible attribution of the same act to another state or organisation. However, it provided limited guidance for the often complex question of how responsibility is to be distributed among wrongdoing actors. This study fills that gap by shedding light on principles of distribution from extra-legal perspectives. Drawing on disciplines such as political theory, moral philosophy, and economics, this volume enquires into the bases and justifications for apportionment of responsibilities that can support a critique of current international law, offers insight into the justification of alternative interpretations, and provides inspiration for reform and further development of international law.

The authors have carefully crafted the text so that reading assignments are reasonable – typically 10-15 pages for a one-hour session and 20-25 pages for a two-hour session. The book offers three types of problems, each of which has a specific purpose in the student’s ethical education. The text and principal discussion problems are designed to help students develop the ability to make sound judgments for difficult questions of professional responsibility. Each chapter contains Rule Review questions that present multiple hypotheticals enabling students to understand the scope and limitations of important rules of professional conduct. Multiple-choice assessment questions at the end of each chapter with detailed answers help the students review major concepts in the chapter and prepare for the MPRE. New to the Eighth Edition: Length shortened by almost 200 pages, to focus on the most important ethical issues for two-hour courses, which are now the standard. A number of problems have been moved from the text to the website and are still available for professors who have used them in the past. More in-depth discussion of the duty of confidentiality, including comparing the scope of the duty of confidentiality in New York, the District of Columbia, and California with ABA Model Rule 1.6; examining the concepts of use and disclosure; and adding analysis of the “possession exception” to the duty of confidentiality focusing on the lawyer’s decision to take possession of such evidence and the distinction between tangible criminal material and real incriminating evidence. Coverage of a number of contemporary issues involving ethics and technology, including ethical propriety of a lawyer responding to on-line criticism and the ethical aspects of a lawyer’s use of artificial intelligence. Additional material on the obligations of defense counsel and prosecutors, including defense counsel’s obligations when advising a client regarding a competency defense and new problem material on prosecutors’ ethical obligations under Rule 3.8 dealing with evidence of a wrongful conviction. Revised material on delivery of legal services, including new material on removal of restrictions on the unauthorized practice of law, comments on legal services plans and delivery of legal services in criminal cases, and pro bono services offered by law firms. Post-2020 ethical issues, including the application of the crime-fraud exception to the attorney-client privilege and issues of frivolous claims in litigation involving the 2020 Presidential election; new material on Justice Department investigation of “pattern and practice” investigations of a number of city police departments; and scrutiny of financial benefits received by Supreme Court Justices.

Book excerpt: Building and expanding upon the prior edition of Essentials of Health Justice, the new second edition of this unparalleled text explores the historical, structural, and legal underpinnings of racial, ethnic, gender-based, and ableist inequities in health, and provides a framework for students to consider how and why health inequity is tied to the ways that laws are structured and enforced.

Download or read book The Emotional Brain and the Guilty Mind written by Federica Coppola and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-02-11 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to reframe the normative narrative of the 'culpable person' in American criminal law through a more humanising lens. It embraces such a reframed narrative to revise the criteria of the current voluntarist architecture of culpability and to advance a paradigm of punishment that positions social rehabilitation as its core principle. The book constructs this narrative by considering behavioural and neuroscientific insights into the functions of emotions, and socio-environmental factors within moral behaviour in social settings. Hence, it suggests culpability notions that reflect a more contextualised view of human conduct, and argues that such revised notions are better suited to the principle of personal guilt. Furthermore, it suggests a model of 'punishment' that values the dynamic power of change of individuals, and acknowledges the importance of social relationships and positive environments to foster patterns of social (re)integration. Ultimately, this book argues that the potential adoption of the proposed models of culpability and punishment, which view people through a more comprehensive lens, may be a key factor for turning criminal justice into a less punitive, more inclusionary and non-stigmatising system.
