Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What the experts said about ‘Educating Judges’: • ‘A comprehensive review of judicial education ... an extremely valuable work.’ - Sir Anthony Mason, Chief Justice of Australia • ‘Truly a seminal work which sets the best practice for the field.‘ - Dr Charles Ericksen, Vice-President, NCSC, USA • ‘A most masterly survey of the field.’ - Professor Martin Partington, Judicial Studies Board, England • ‘Thorough, well argued and comprehensive; offers substantial insight at many points.’ - Professor John K.

E. Thomas, University of Nottingham, England • ‘Invaluable ... contains a wealth of material and references’ - Judge John Goldring, Dean of Law, University of Wollongong, Australia About this Second Edition: 2015 Brill|Nijhoff is delighted to republish Educating Judges, the seminal monograph in the field of judicial education. First published in 1996, this book enables judicial educators to develop a more effective pedagogy by focusing on the distinctive learning needs, styles and preferences of judges, and deepening understanding of judges as learners. Much has happened since then. Over the past twenty years, judicial education has grown very substantially around the world in both size and sophistication. It is now well established in many countries and is seen as an essential component of modern concepts of justice. In addition to providing new entrants an opportunity to read this classic text, this second edition enables readers to gauge what has happened – or not – in the world of judicial education over the past two decades. This new edition reports on the findings of the first ever survey conducted of leading judicial educators around the world. In doing so, it examines the state of judicial education across a range of issues, including: • significant recent developments, • major institutional issues and challenges, • trends in professionalizing the practice, • evolving goals, curricula, methodologies and approaches, • building knowledge through research, evaluation and networks, • impact and applications of information technology; • use of judicial training in official development assistance; and • how globalisation is affecting the education of judges.

Download or read book Brazil and the Emergence of a Digital Lusosphere written by Valnora Leister and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-09-15 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book maps how Brazil and the network of Portuguese-speaking countries—the “Lusosphere”—are using digital technologies in new ways to expand opportunities at all levels of society. From a diverse range of perspectives across the Portuguese-speaking world, contributors to this volume explore such questions as the capability of information technologies to encourage social inclusion in the face of economic inequality, the kinds of cultural values that may replace those of the scarcity-based industrial era, and the potential emergence of a virtual world order based on soft power, given the failures of hard power alternatives. This book explores how digital linkages between Brazil and physically-separated Portuguese-speaking communities are influencing the arts, creative industries, sports, learning, business, and cultural evolution for hundreds of millions of Portuguese-speaking people on five continents. At a time of escalating calls in Europe and North America to close borders and build walls, Brazil and the Emergence of a Digital Lusosphere charts alternatives that offer inspiration and practical paths toward a more inclusive world.

Download or read book Enforcing the Rule of Law written by Enrique Peruzzotti and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 2006-04-07 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reports of scandal and corruption have led to the downfall of numerous political leaders in Latin America in recent years. What conditions have developed that allow for the exposure of wrongdoing and the accountability of leaders? Enforcing the Rule of Law examines how elected officials in Latin American democracies have come under scrutiny from new forms of political control, and how these social accountability mechanisms have been successful in counteracting corruption and the limitations of established institutions. This volume reveals how legal claims, media interventions, civic organizations, citizen committees, electoral observation panels, and other watchdog groups have become effective tools for monitoring political authorities. Their actions have been instrumental in exposing government crime, bringing new issues to the public agenda, and influencing or even reversing policy decisions. Enforcing the Rule of Law presents compelling accounts of the emergence of civic action movements and their increasing political influence in Latin America, and sheds new light on the state of democracy in the region.

Download or read book Economies of Abandonment written by Elizabeth A. Povinelli and published by Duke University Press Books. This book was released on 2011-11-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Economies of Abandonment, Elizabeth A. Povinelli explores how late liberal imaginaries of tense, eventfulness, and ethical substance make the global distribution of life and death, hope and harm, and endurance and exhaustion not merely sensible but also just. She presents new ways of conceptualizing formations of power in late liberalism—the shape that liberal governmentality has taken as it has responded to a series of legitimacy crises in the wake of anticolonial and new social movements and, more recently, the “clash of civilizations” after September 11. Based on longstanding ethnographic work in Australia and the United States, as well as critical readings of legal, academic, and activist texts, Povinelli examines how alternative social worlds and projects generate new possibilities of life in the context of ordinary and extraordinary acts of neglect and surveillance. She focuses particularly on social projects that have not yet achieved a concrete existence but persist at the threshold of possible existence. By addressing the question of the endurance, let alone the survival, of alternative forms of life, Povinelli opens new ethical and political questions.

Download or read book The Neoliberal City written by Jason Hackworth and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2014-01-15 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The shift in the ideological winds toward a "free-market" economy has brought profound effects in urban areas. The Neoliberal City presents an overview of the effect of these changes on today's cities. The term "neoliberalism" was originally used in reference to a set of practices that first-world institutions like the IMF and World Bank impose on third-world countries and cities. The support of unimpeded trade and individual freedoms and the discouragement of state regulation and social spending are the putative centerpieces of this vision. More and more, though, people have come to recognize that first-world cities are undergoing the same processes. In The Neoliberal City, Jason Hackworth argues that neoliberal policies are in fact having a profound effect on the nature and direction of urbanization in the United States and other wealthy countries, and that much can be learned from studying its effect. He explores the impact that neoliberalism has had on three aspects of urbanization in the United States: governance, urban form, and social movements. The American inner city is seen as a crucial battle zone for the wider neoliberal transition primarily because it embodies neoliberalism's antithesis, Keynesian egalitarian liberalism. Focusing on issues such as gentrification in New York City; public-housing policy in New York, Chicago, and Seattle; downtown redevelopment in Phoenix; and urban-landscape change in New Brunswick, N.J., Hackworth shows us how material and symbolic changes to institutions, neighborhoods, and entire urban regions can be traced in part to the rise of neoliberalism.

Assim, os 16 (dezesseis) trabalhos que compõem esse volume se comprometem discutir a relação entre sociedade e o Direito, com os seguintes temas: Direito de indenização a atingidos por rompimento de barragens; Responsabilidade estatal e violência obstétrica; Judicialização do Direito à saúde e a reserva do possível; Princípio da insignificância nos crimes ambientais; Obediência e responsabilidade na obra de Hannah Arendt; Direito dos passageiros do transporte aéreo; Direito urbanístico e a valorização cultural; tráfico de drogas no aeroporto internacional de Manaus em 2021; Investigação criminal e o tráfico de pessoas; Ética, inteligência artificial e combate a desinformação e fake News; Rastreamento digital e direitos da personalidade; Direito dos animais; Herança digital; Intrumentalidade do Direito Econômico e Administrativo; Teoria do positivismo jurídico de Herbert Hart e por fim, a Teoria de Kripke. Desse modo, por esta breve apresentação, já é possível perceber o quão diverso, profícuo e interessante são os artigos trazidos para este volume. Aproveito essa ocasião para parabenizar os autores, aos quais se dispuseram a compartilhar todo conhecimento científico produzido, e também para agradecê-los como cidadã por estarem ativamente refletindo sobre problemas e soluções em nossa tão complexa sociedade. Espero que de uma maneira ou de outra os leitores que tiverem a possibilidade de ler este volume, tenham a mesma satisfação que tive ao organizar, acompanhar e ler o conjunto dessa obra.
