    AI, Lawyers, and Consumers

    No full text
    The chapter examines the effects that legally oriented AI developments will have on consumer protection and to consumers' need for legal advice and representation, trying to answer the many questions that AI developments in this regard pose. For instance, what effect will the continued advancements of legally oriented AI have on consumer protection and the need for legal representation? How will AI-powered legaltech change consumer protection? Will new obligations, both legal and ethical, apply to providers of AI tools and the lawyers that use them for the benefit of consumers? How will legal ethics impact proprietary AI systems developed within law firms? To what extent will AI-powered tools be able to replace the need for human lawyers

    Divergence, Themes, and Trends in National Arbitration Laws

    No full text
    This chapter presents the findings of a comparative analysis of arbitration laws in fourteen countries. The analysis focuses on scope and interpretation of arbitration clauses, anti-arbitration laws and policies, arbitrator bias and misconduct, the public policy exception, and other limits on arbitrability. The chapter determines areas of commonality and divergences across national laws relating to judicial intervention into the arbitration process, and provides an assessment of possible trends in international commercial arbitration

    Introduction: Intersection of Courts and Arbitration

    No full text
    This chapter broadly reviews the relationship between the arbitration and judicial systems as well as substantive national laws that restrict the use of the arbitration process.The relationship is inherently in tension because two core principles are in conflict: independence of commercial arbitration and judicial intervention to ensure the fairness of the arbitration process. This chapter reviews and suggests how best to balance these two competing interests, including an analysis of the principle of separability (contract arbitration clauses are independent of the contract) and kompetenz–kompetenz (whether the arbitration panel or the courts are empowered to determine the jurisdiction of the arbitration panel and the scope of the arbitration clause)

    Una preghiera al nobile perduto: nota a Iuv. 8,26–30

    No full text
    Most modern editors of Juvenal print at 8,27 Richards’ conjecture alto in place of the manuscript reading alio and adopt debatable punctuation. However, alio is satisfactory in its meaning and, further, is indispensable for understanding Juvenal’s sophisticated irony in the face of contemporary aristocrats, noble only by birth and not by their virtues. Along with salve and seu in 8,26, quocumque alio de sanguine is an integral part of the parody of cletic formulae set in action by the poet. Through this parodic prayer, Juvenal invokes the ‘epiphany’ of the true noble, that is, the virtuous person

    Dissimilar laser welding of copper and aluminum alloys in multilayer configuration for battery applications

    No full text
    The joining process of copper and aluminum has become a key topic especially in the field of electro-mobility due to the fact that batteries, based especially on pouch Li-ion cells, are often manufactured in a way that involves joining together copper and aluminum tabs that constitute the anode and the cathode. Car manufacturers, in order to create more compact and performing batteries, are looking to stack more cells in small spaces and then weld the copper and aluminum tabs in multilayer configuration. However, welding those materials poses several challenges due to their differences in chemical and physical properties, such as melting temperature, thermal conductivity, and thermal expansion coefficient. One of the main challenges is represented by the formation of hard and brittle intermetallic compounds, which reduce both mechanical and electrical properties. The present paper addresses dissimilar laser welding of copper and aluminum in multilayer configuration by means of an infrared laser source equipped with galvanometric scanner optics, which allows us to obtain a spatial beam oscillation (circular wobbling) of the beam. The results confirmed that a larger wobbling amplitude does not enhance the properties of the connection. A maximum tensile load of about 1000 N and low electrical contact resistance were obtained with optimized parameters, while the presence of harder and brittle intermetallic compounds was reduced. Scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer analysis confirmed the results obtained with the metallographic and mechanical tests

    La ‘pena d’infamia’ e l’inibizione dello ius accusandi. Le norme e le argomentazioni in tema di infamia delle Declamazioni minori 250, 263, 265 e 275

    No full text
    Dopo una premessa in cui si analizza l’infamia e il suo sviluppo storico-giuridico, il contributo indaga gli enunciati normativi e le argomentazioni delle declamazioni minori 250, 263, 265 e 275, rivelando divergenze significative fra la regula iuris e la giurisprudenza presupposta dalle declamazioni in tema di infamia. Tali difformità rivelano l’attenzione del retore alle relazioni fra leges e mores e sono il segno del suo sforzo interpretativo delle tensioni, emergenti anche a livello sociale, fra leggi scritte e leggi non scritte. Nel recepire nell’apparato normativo e argomentativo delle sue controversie le norme non scritte condivise dalla collettività, il retore adotta un’ottica di problematizzazione, senza proporre o imporre alternative definitive alle leggi della città
