A Qualified Hope: The Indian Supreme Court and Progressive Social Change (Comparative Constitutional Law and Policy Book 1)

Read Book  : tq.filegood.club/B07VDTJ2M5

The Indian Supreme Court is widely seen as a vanguard of progressive social change Yet there are no systematic studies of whether its progressive decisions actually improve the lives of the relatively disadvantaged This book presents the first collection of original empirical studies on the impact of the Indian Supreme Court's most progressive decisions Combining original datasets with indepth qualitative research, the chapters provide a rigorous examination of the conditions under which judicial decisions can make a difference to those in need These studies reveal that the Indian Supreme Court, like its US counterpart, is largely constrained in its efforts Yet, through the broad sweep of constitutional rights in the Indian Constitution, the Court's procedural innovations, and its institutional independence, the Indian Supreme Court can sometimes make a differencein the lives of those most in need

Smart Surveillance: How to Interpret the Fourth Amendment in the Twenty-First Century

Read Book  : tq.filegood.club/B07VDTH727

Over the last decade, law enforcement agencies have engaged in increasingly intrusive surveillance methods, from location tracking on cell phones to reading metadata off of emails As a result, many believe we are heading towards an omniscient surveillance state and irrevocable damage to our privacy rights In Smart Surveillance, Ric Simmons challenges this conventional wisdom by taking a broader look at the effect of new technologies and privacy, arguing that advances in technology can enhance our privacy and our security at the same time Rather than focusing exclusively on the rise of invasive surveillance technologies, Simmons proposes a fundamentally new method of evaluating government searchesbased on quantification, transparency, and efficiencyresulting in a legal regime that can adapt as technology and society change

Understanding the Law of Assignment

Read Book  : tq.filegood.club/B07VDTGFPH

The practical importance of intangible personalty such as debt, bonds, equities, futures, derivatives and other financial instruments has never been greater than it is today The same may be said of interests in intellectual property Yet the assignment of these intangible assets from one to another remains difficult to understand Assignments are often taken to operate as a form of transfer akin to conveyances of legal titles to tangible personalty However, this conception does not accurately reflect the law of assignment as it has developed in the caselaw in England and Wales This book sets out a different model of the workings of assignments as a matter of English law, one that provides an analytical, yet historically sensitive, framework which allows us to better understand how, and why, assignments work in the way the cases tell us they do

The Government's Speech and the Constitution (Cambridge Studies on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties)

Read Book  : tq.filegood.club/B07VDTF76S

When we discuss constitutional law, we usually focus on the constitutional rules that apply to what the government does Far less clear are the constitutional rules that apply to what the government says When does the speech of this unusually powerful speaker violate our constitutional rights and liberties? More specifically, when does the government's expression threaten liberty or equality? And under what circumstances does the Constitution prohibit our government from lying to us? In The Government's Speech and the Constitution, Professor Helen Norton investigates the variety and abundance of the government's speech, from early proclamations and simple pamphlets, to the electronic media of radio and television, and ultimately to today's digital age This enables us to understand how the government's speech has changed the world for better and for worse, and why the government's speech deserves our attention, and at times our con

Bentham and the Common Law Tradition (Clarendon Law Series)

Read Book  : tq.filegood.club/B07VDLT6LL

This work explores the relationship between Bentham's utilitarian practical philosophy and his positivist jurisprudence These theories appear to be in tension because his utilitarian commitment to the sovereignty of utility as a practical decision principle seems inconsistent with his positivist insistence on the sovereignty of the will of the lawmakerTwo themes emerge from the attempt in this work to reconcile these two core elements of Bentham's practical thought First, Bentham's conception of law does not fit the conventional model of legal positivism Bentham was not just a utilitarian and a positivisthe was a positivist by virtue of his commitment to a utilitarian understanding of the fundamental task of law Moreover, his emphasis on the necessary publicity and the systemic character of law, led him to insist on an essential rolefor utilitarian reasons in the regular public functioning of law Second, Bentham's radical critique of common law theory and practice convi
