Yale Legal Information Symposium
No full text"In this edited collection of essays from the Second Yale Legal Information Symposium, law librarians and legal scholars examine the legal treatise as a source and genre through the lenses of history, authorship, identity, and technological transitions. The distinguished legal historian John H. Langbein, Sterling Professor Emeritus of Law and Legal History at Yale Law School, lays the groundwork for this endeavor with an account of the decline of treatise writing in the American legal academy. The contributions that follow address subjects ranging from the development and impact of the Anglo-American legal treatise to the implications of electronic format and the continuing relevance of the legal treatise in an era of so-called 'AI-driven' law. This book seeks to reorient the study of the legal treatise and provoke further scholarly interest in legal information."-
Comparative constitutional theory /
No full text"This thoroughly revised Second Edition provides a refreshed overview of comparative constitutional law and theory. Expert authors investigate the recent proliferation of instances in which the practice of constitutionalism has been compromised by various forms of democratic erosion. New and updated chapters complement the first edition's illumination of key concepts in comparative constitutional theory with a specific focus on its connections to a rise in authoritarian rule. In the face of democratic backsliding, global authors underscore the question of design and investigate how constitutional governance can be enhanced to avert further democratic degradation. The Research Handbook is underpinned by an empirically based study of the core principles of constitutional practice within a cross-national context, including informative discussions on constitutionalism, fundamental rights, and constitutional identity. Notably, this book examines the degree to which illiberal constitutionalism has become an increasingly ominous presence in the (mal)functioning of political systems and acknowledges the pervasive condition of constitutional imperfection. Exploring distinctive constitutional realities, this accessible Research Handbook is a crucial resource for scholars and students of constitutional theory, comparative law, and constitutional and administrative law. It is also a vital read for those interested in constitutional design and interpretation"-
Global corporations and sustainability ::rethinking legal and economic frameworks /
No full text"This timely book examines how international legal regimes interact to govern corporate sustainability and how this interaction may enable harmful corporate conduct. With a focus on human rights abuse and the impacts of climate change, contributors from diverse legal backgrounds critically analyse the role of the law in shaping corporate behaviour. Leading experts investigate three key areas: corporate law, international investment law, and public international law. They identify how each of these fields individually and collectively contribute to enabling sustainability harms, outlining how the convergence of these three areas creates a structural framework that permits and legitimizes corporate misconduct. Presenting both a diagnosis and pathways for reform, this book advocates for corporate accountability and urges a rethinking of law's role in shaping a just and sustainable global economy. Scholars and students in the fields of human rights, corporate law and public international law will benefit from this book's insights. Providing actionable proposals for rethinking and reforming business models, this book is also a crucial reference for policymakers, legal practitioners, ESG professionals, and management consultants"-
