Law, ethics, and the office of the jurist /
No full textThe genealogy of legal office is pieced together here to rediscover the scope and ambition of a role that has been largely lost to conscious self-reflection. Organized around a concern with the inheritance of juristic traditions, institutions, and forms of life, the contributors to this book take up the question of how a jurist might learn to live, or die, with law. The collection invites readers to reconsider fundamental questions: What responsibilities accompany the jurist's role? How do different traditions conceptualize the ethical obligations of legal interpretation? What happens when established norms face modern challenges? By reconstructing the genealogy of legal office across diverse traditions, the contributors recover aspects of juridical identity that have faded from contemporary awareness.Law, Ethics, and the Office of the Jurist will appeal to legal scholars, practitioners, and students, as well as those in adjacent fields concerned with professional ethics, institutional history, and the evolving relationship between law and society in our complex global landscape

The journey to the WIPO treaty on genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge ::policy, process and people /
No full text"This book recounts the colourful and eventful journey to the landmark WIPO Treaty on Intellectual Property, Genetic Resources and Associated Traditional Knowledge, from the proposal for a new patent disclosure requirement in 1999 to the adoption of the Treaty 25 years later. Offering a first-person account from his unique position as having been a Director at WIPO and responsible for the negotiations for many years, Wend Wendland analyzes the Treaty and its negotiating history, lifting the curtain on how, against the odds, its adoption by consensus was achieved. The book highlights the key individuals involved in the process and provides detailed insight into the negotiations methodology. It underlines the importance of the changes within the patent system made by the Treaty to combat biopiracy and reflects on the historic influence of developing countries and Indigenous Peoples advocating for decades for these protections for their traditional knowledge and genetic resources, and how this led eventually to the Treaty's adoption. Finally, the book looks ahead to consider the expectations surrounding the coming into force of the Treaty and assesses if and how it will achieve its objectives. Patent office officials, IP negotiators and policymakers, IP counsel, and governmental relations executives will benefit from this book's crucial insights. It is also a unique resource for Indigenous Peoples organizations, as well as the staff of intergovernmental organizations and scholars and students of multilateral negotiations, intellectual property law, environmental law and public international law"-
