Download or read book Toward a Cyberlegal Culture Legal Research on the Frontier of Innovation 2nd Edition written by Mirela Roznovschi and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although universal on-line access to legal information has vastly expanded the lawyer's practical resources, it does not come with a clear and reliable methodology. A fundamental shift in approach is necessary to understand its enormous transformation of the legal research process; using it requires a new set of procedures amounting to the assimilation of a new legal culture. Now for the first time this new 'cyberlegal' culture is fully set forth in a way that makes its great benefits available to all legal practitioners and law librarians. This volume provides an in-depth analysis of the new legal infrastructure inherent in the internationalisation of legal research via the internet. It presents dependable strategies for navigating efficiently in the virtual reality environment, with special attention to the librarian's role in shaping legal database interfaces. It thoroughly explains how the law library's mission is restructured, adding a teaching dimension to its traditional role as a reference service.The author describes the skills and managerial decisions that characterise the cyberlegal culture, showing the reader exactly how the cyberlegal information specialist conducts substantive legal research. She spells out the guiding principles on evaluating databases, other online legal research tools, and the 'linked thinking' capabilities of the internet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exciting collection looks at the theory and practice of legal borrowing and adaptation in different areas of the world: Europe,the USA and Latin America, S.E. Asia and Japan. Many of the contributors focus on fundamental theoretical issues. What are legal transplants? What is the role of the state in producing socio-legal change? What are the conditions of successful legal transfers? How is globalisation changing these conditions? Such problems are also discussed with reference to substantive and specific case studies. When and why did Japanese rules of product liability come into line with those of the EU and the USA? How and why did judicial review come late to the legal systems of Holland and Scandinavia? Why is the present wave of USA-influenced legal reforms in Latin Amercia apparently having more success than the previous round? How does competition between the legal and accountancy professions affect patterns of bankruptcy? The chapters in this volume, which include a comprehensive theoretical introduction, offer a range of valuable insights even if they also show that the

Download or read book Epic Stories written by Mirela Roznoveanu and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-06-21 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the human being duty and what is the source of my restlessness, of my metaphysical impatience? Could it be that exile has made me a woman of no fixed abode? These questions are coming from a woman with hybrid origins who lived in a communist dictatorship country; fought injustice and censorship and was punished by the secret police; was involved in Romania’s 1989 Revolution; witnessed the post-communist nomenclature and secret police stealing back the country; wrote the history of the world fiction, a comparative study in Romanian; at the age of 44 she left both her home and her language behind and settled into the US and into English as she saw herself as an exile not just from her country but from her mother tongue too; founded GlobaLex, an iconic research tool, at the NYU School of Law Hauser Global Program; and has collected multiple honors in Romania and in the US, including Romania’s Officer of the National Order for Faithful Service. She uses her European literary references as an enhancement for her range of American tonalities. The daughter of Hrisula Limona, a woman belonging to an ancient Armân/Vlach clan from the Pindus Mountains, and Iancu Roznowski, of Polish descent, whose ancestors once lived at the Imperial Court of Habsburgs in Vienna, Mirela Roznoveanu was born on April 10, 1947 in the Kingdom of Romania. A few months later (December 1947) the Communists forced Romania’s King to abdicate and the country surrendered to the Communist USSR. Mirela lives in many languages at once and multiple expressions of literary forms. She is a cosmopolitan writer. Her slogan is “I am curious therefore I am”. For Mirela forgetting is an impossible task and she turns this inability into memorable stories. Her knowledge of philosophy, fiction writing, literary criticism and theory is endlessly rich. Mirela is not only a literary critic, novelist, and a poet but also a journalist and an intellectual with an incisive intelligence and a great sense of social justice. Epic Stories gathers for the first time under the same covers all Mirela Roznoveanu’s literary voices from poetry and literary criticism to journalism, fiction, and travel writing. The reader becomes a witness and a participant into the making of a new life in exile and of the transformation of a foreign language into one that becomes part of the writer’s native language.
Download or read book The Life Manager and Other Stories written by Mirela Roznoveanu and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2004-05-24 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Mirela Roznoveanu's new book of fiction, human love is everywhere but strangely hard to find. Love animates a world where the tangled web of sexuality, commitment, language, place, and history enthralls us with its tantalizing detours, its cruel pretenders, and its unexpected pleasures. These tumultuous pages introduce us to people we can instantly recognize and never forget. From adventures that vividly signal a lifetime's meaning each returns with something new-something utterly different from that which was sought. Here in her first major work in English, we find the pulsing, streaming vision of time, place, history and character that distinguishes Roznoveanu's work in her native Romanian. Roznoveanu restores a visionary spirit lost to English for two or more generations. These stories come to us in the circuitous wake of the great early modernists, offering prodigious healing power for the grave psychic wounds that have afflicted the human condition since the crucial turning point of 1945. The Life Manager and Other Stories scintillates with cascades of luminous images and narrative reversals that seize our attention and don't let go. This is a book to return to again and again for its endlessly intriguing glimpses of the elusive peace and joy our souls thirst for.
