Pravo

Potreba po novi, šesti izdaji učbenika je nastala, ker je bilo treba učbenik prilagoditi noveli KZ-1B, ki je posegla tudi na področje splošnega dela. Med najvidnejšimi spremembami splošnega dela kaže opozoriti na preureditev skrajne sile, posege v določbe o krivdi (zlasti preureditev malomarnosti), ponovno ureditev varnostnih ukrepov medicinske narave in nadaljnjo širitev alternativnih načinov izvrševanja kazni.

A literature review is the comprehensive study and interpretation of literature that relates to a particular topic. While legal scholars have increasingly started to emphasize the importance of conducting a systematic literature review prior to embarking on a larger academic research venture, discipline-specific guidelines have been absent until now. This book fills this gap by offering a step-by-step guide to doing a systematic literature review in legal scholarship. It first discusses what a systematic literature review is and why it is so important. It then moves consecutively through the process of delineating your topic and determining what information to search for, designing and carrying out a systematic search for relevant literature, critically appraising the literature, and synthesizing, discussing and presenting your findings.

Governments need rules, institutions, and processes to translate the will of the people into functioning democracies. Election laws are the rules that make that happen. Yet across the world various countries have crafted different rules regarding how elections are conducted, who gets to vote, who is allowed to run for office, what role political parties have, and what place money has in the financing of campaigns and candidates. The Routledge Handbook of Election Law is the first major cross-national comparative reference book surveying the electoral practices and law of the major and emerging democracies across the world.

This profound and scholarly treatise develops a critical version of legal positivism as the basis for modern legal scholarship. Departing from the formalism of Hart and Kelsen and blending the European tradition of Weber, Habermas and Foucault with the Anglo-American contributions of Dworkin and MacCormick, Tuori presents the normative and practical faces of law as a multilayered phenomenon within which there is an important role for critical legal dogmatics in furthering law's self-understanding and coherence. Its themes also resonate with importance for the development of the European legal system.

American law schools are in deep crisis. Enrollment is down, student loan debt is up, and the profession's supply of high-paying jobs is shrinking. Meanwhile, thousands of graduates remain underemployed while the legal needs of low-income communities go substantially unmet. Many blame overregulation and seek a "free" market to solve the problem, but this has already been tested. Seizing on a deregulatory policy shift at the American Bar Association, private equity financiers established the first for-profit law schools in the early 2000s with the stated mission to increase access to justice by "serving the underserved". Pursuing this mission at a feverish rate of growth, they offered the promise of professional upward mobility through high-tech, simplified teaching and learning. In Law Mart, a vivid ethnography of one such environment, Riaz Tejani argues that the rise of for-profit law schools shows the limits of a market-based solution to American access to justice. Building on theories in law, political economy, and moral anthropology, Tejani reveals how for-profit law schools marketed themselves directly to ethnoracial and socioeconomic "minority" communities, relaxed admission standards, increased diversity, shook up established curricula, and saw student success rates plummet. They contributed to a dramatic rise in U.S. law student debt burdens while charging premium tuition financed up-front through federal loans over time. If economic theories have so influenced legal scholarship, what happens when they come to shape law school transactions, governance, and oversight? For students promised professional citizenship by these institutions, is there a need for protections that better uphold institutional quality and sustainability? Offering an unprecedented glimpse of this landscape, Law Mart is a colorful foray into these essential questions.

Volume 2015/2016 of the Yearbook of Private International Law is once again an impressive collection of papers on a tremendously wide range of subjects. Topics covered by this book include an account of the works under way in the Hague for a worldwide convention on mutual recognition of judgments, a commentary on some aspects of the Hague Principles on choice of law in international commercial contracts, a discussion of the potential consequences of the Brexit referendum on human relationships involving the UK and the EU as well as an in-depth analysis of crucial aspects of international litigation before the Chinese courts. A comprehensive set of papers is devoted to cross-border insolvency - with reports on the Recast Insolvency Regulation as well as ongoing reforms in Switzerland and Norway - which is not only an area of increasing practical importance but has also come over the years to serve as a laboratory for new forms of inter-country cooperation. The customary section on national developments - on the new Spanish legislation on cross-border child abduction, immunity from jurisdiction in the United States and recognition of foreign decisions in Lebanon and Nigeria - is a testament to the global reach which is so unique to the Yearbook.
