Download or read book The Italian Legal System written by Michael A. Livingston and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-21 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For fifty years, the first edition of The Italian Legal System has been the gold standard among English-language works on the Italian legal system. The book's original authors, Mauro Cappelletti, John Henry Merryman, and Joseph M. Perillo, provided not only an overview of Italian law, but a definition of the field, together with an important contribution to the general literature on comparative law. The book explains the unique "Italian style" in doctrine, law, and interpretation and includes an extremely well-written introduction to Italian legal history, government, the legal profession, and civil procedure and evidence. In this fully-updated and revised second edition, authors Michael A. Livingston, Pier Giuseppe Monateri, and Francesco Parisi describe the substantial changes in Italian law and society in the intervening five decades—including the creation and impact of the European Union, as well as important advances in comparative law methodology. The second edition poses timely, relevant questions of whether and to what extent the unique Italian style of law has survived the pressures of European unification, American influence, and the globalization of law and society in the intervening period. The Italian Legal System, Second Edition is an important and stimulating resource for those with specific interest in Italy and those with a more general interest in comparative law and the globalization process.

Download or read book Private International Law Aspects of Corporate Social Responsibility written by Catherine Kessedjian and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-06 with total page 697 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses one of the core challenges in the corporate social responsibility (or business and human rights) debate: how to ensure adequate access to remedy for victims of corporate abuses that infringe upon their human rights. However, ensuring access to remedy depends on a series of normative and judicial elements that become highly complex when disputes are transnational. In such cases, courts need to consider and apply different laws that relate to company governance, to determine the competent forum, to define which bodies of law to apply, and to ensure the adequate execution of judgments. The book also discusses how alternative methods of dispute settlement can relate to this topic, and the important role that private international law plays in access to remedy for corporate-related human rights abuses. This collection comprises 20 national reports from jurisdictions in Europe, North America, Latin America and Asia, addressing the private international law aspects of corporate social responsibility. They provide an overview of the legal differences between geographical areas, and offer numerous examples of how states and their courts have resolved disputes involving private international law elements. The book draws two preliminary conclusions: that there is a need for a better understanding of the role that private international law plays in cases involving transnational elements, in order to better design transnational solutions to the issues posed by economic globalisation; and that the treaty negotiations on business and human rights in the United Nations could offer a forum to clarify and unify several of the elements that underpin transnational disputes involving corporate human rights abuses, which could also help to identify and bridge the existing gaps that limit effective access to remedy. Adopting a comparative approach, this book appeals to academics, lawyers, judges and legislators concerned with the issue of access to remedy and reparation for corporate abuses under the prism of private international law.

Download or read book Courts and Comparative Law written by Mads Andenas and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2015-07-30 with total page 825 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the role of comparative law in the courts was previously only an exception, foreign sources are now increasingly becoming a source of law in regular use in supreme and constitutional courts. There is considerable variation between the practices of courts and the role of comparative law, and methods remain controversial. In the US, the issue has been one of intense public debate and it is still one of the major dividing issues in the discussion about the role of the courts. Contributing to the existing discussion of the use of comparative law in the courts, this book provides an inclusive, coherent, and practical analysis of the relevant law and jurisprudence in comparative law in the courts. It examines the consequences for court procedures and the form of judgments, as well as how foreign sources are drawn upon in private international law, European law, administrative law, and constitutional law as well as before general courts. The book also includes case studies of comparative law used in particular spheres of the law, such as tort law and consumer law. Written by practising judges and lawyers as well as leading academics, this book serves as a central reference point concerning the role of comparative law before the courts.

This book was released on 2014-04-30 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Codifying Choice of Law Around the World chronicles, documents, and celebrates the extraordinary, massive codification of Private International Law (PrIL), or Conflict of Laws that has taken place in the last 50 years, from 1962-2012. During this period, the world has witnessed the adoption of nearly 200 PrIL codifications, EU Regulations, and international conventions---more than in all preceding years since the inception of PrIL. This book provides a horizontal comparison and discussion of these codifications and conventions, first by comparing the way they resolve tort and contract conflicts, and then by comparing the answers of these codifications to the fundamental philosophical and methodological dilemmas of PrIL. In the process, this book re-examines and dispels certain widely held assumptions about choice of law, and the art and science of codification in general. Written by Symeon C. Symeonides, a renowned PrIL and comparative law expert with extensive first-hand experience in drafting codifications and advising other drafters, Codifying Choice of Law Around the World will serve as an indispensable point of reference for any serious study or discussion of PrIL, and comparative law.

Download or read book Neuroscience and Law written by Antonio D’Aloia and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-01 with total page 563 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been extraordinary developments in the field of neuroscience in recent years, sparking a number of discussions within the legal field. This book studies the various interactions between neuroscience and the world of law, and explores how neuroscientific findings could affect some fundamental legal categories and how the law should be implemented in such cases. The book is divided into three main parts. Starting with a general overview of the convergence of neuroscience and law, the first part outlines the importance of their continuous interaction, the challenges that neuroscience poses for the concepts of free will and responsibility, and the peculiar characteristics of a “new” cognitive liberty. In turn, the second part addresses the phenomenon of cognitive and moral enhancement, as well as the uses of neurotechnology and their impacts on health, self-determination and the concept of being human. The third and last part investigates the use of neuroscientific findings in both criminal and civil cases, and seeks to determine whether they can provide valuable evidence and facilitate the assessment of personal responsibility, helping to resolve cases. The book is the result of an interdisciplinary dialogue involving jurists, philosophers, neuroscientists, forensic medicine specialists, and scholars in the humanities; further, it is intended for a broad readership interested in understanding the impacts of scientific and technological developments on people’s lives and on our social systems.

Download or read book L amministrazione di sostegno written by Emilio Vito Napoli and published by CEDAM. This book was released on 2010-06-28 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il volume si occupa dell’istituto dell’amministrazione di sostegno, nuova disciplina introdotta nel codice civile con la legge n. 6 del 2004, che ha istituito una nuova figura (quella dell’amministratore di sostegno, appunto) accanto agli altri istituti a tutela delle persone incapaci (interdizione, inabilitazione, incapacità naturale). Secondo quanto previsto dalla legge di riforma, infatti, tutti i soggetti che, a causa di una infermità o di una menomazione fisica o psichica si trovino nell’impossibilità (anche parziale o temporanea) di provvedere ai propri interessi, possono ora essere assistiti da un amministratore di sostegno, appositamente nominato dal giudice. Sono affrontati, tenendo conto della recente normativa e della giurisprudenza formatasi in materia, tutti gli aspetti caratterizzanti questo rivoluzionario istituto, a partire dal procedimento di nomina ad amministratore, per giungere agli effetti, alla responsabilità , fino alle possibili interferenze con altri istituti di diritto privato. STRUTTURA Parte I: L'amministrazione di sostegno. Parte II: Procedimento per la nomina dell’amministratore di sostegno Parte III: Effetti dell’amministrazione Parte IV: Cessazione dell’amministrazione Parte V: Vigilanza sull’amministratore Parte VI: Responsabilità dell’amministratore di sostegno Parte VII: Possibili interferenze tra la carica di amministratore e gli altri istituti a tutela degli incapaci (interdizione, inabilitazione) Parte VIII: Interventi alternativi all’amministrazione di sostegno Parte IX: “Grandi questioni” Il volume ricalca la struttura tipica del Trattato teorico pratico di diritto privato diretto da Guido Alpa e Salvatore Patti; come è proprio di volumi del Trattato, anche questo si chiude con una parte dedicata interamente alle “Grandi questioni”. All’interno è possibile trovare una selezione di casi che rappresentano una summa delle questioni di maggiore interesse, selezionate dall’autore, accompagnate da una soluzione data tenendo conto della normativa in materia e dalla più recente giurisprudenza.

Download or read book Dual Nationality in the European Union written by Olivier Vonk and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2012-03-19 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book examines the phenomenon of dual nationality in the European Union, particularly against the background of the status of European citizenship – a status that is linked to the nationality of each EU Member State. While the first part sets out the approach towards (dual) nationality in Public and Private International Law as well as in EU Law, the second part consists of an overview of the dual nationality regimes in France, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain. The book shows that the autonomy of Member States in the field of nationality law is becoming increasingly problematic for the EU, and the author takes the position that there is arguably a need for the (minimum) harmonization of European nationality laws.

While focusing on Italian and Spanish legal systems, this comparative study includes extensive references to other EU Member States. The influence of EU private law on this area is also explored.
