Cases And Materials On Oil And Gas Law (American Casebook Ser.)
by John Lowe Owen Anderson James Coleman Christopher Kulander Monika Ehrman Burke GriggsThis new and somewhat shorter edition of the popular textbook on the law of oil and gas focuses first on the “upstream” portion of the oil and gas industry. Chapter 1 examines the common law of oil and gas ownership and the remedies that protect and restrict ownership rights. Chapter 2 focuses on the foundational business relationship used to develop oil and gas in the United States―the oil and gas “lease.” Chapter 3 examines common problems encountered in oil and gas conveyancing. Chapter 4 explores legislative and regulatory responses to problems created by common-law ownership concepts, focusing on oil and gas conservation law. Chapter 5 examines the body of law designed to regulate environmental impacts by following the oil and gas development process chronologically, from land acquisition to abandonment. Chapter 6 considers transactions other than leasing and conveying that are frequently encountered in the industry, including assignments, farmout agreements, operating agreements, drilling contracts, and gas sales contracts. Finally, Chapter 7 examines the complex body of law that must be considered when oil and gas development is taking place on property owned by the federal, state, or tribal governments. Many instructors will build the basic oil and gas law course around Chapters 1 through 4 and save Chapters 5 through 7 for advanced courses.

Cases and Materials on the Law of International Organizations
by William Thomas WorsterIn less than 100 years, international organizations have evolved from curiosities into keystones of international law. What began long ago as an unremarkable effort to coordinate a limited number of technical issues has grown into a global, multilevel, blended governing project with diverse competences in most fields of human endeavor and interests. Law graduates who enter the field of international law, as well as political science, international relations, and diplomacy, are increasingly expected to have a strong knowledge of the law of international organizations. Beyond knowledge, graduates are also expected to be able to solve new emerging legal problems confronting organizations. This book introduces students to the law of international organizations through the careful study of the most recent cases and other materials from the International Court of Justice, United Nations Security Council and General Assembly, World Trade Organization, international criminal tribunals, European Union, European Court of Human Rights, International Labour Organization, various domestic courts and arbitral panels, and other bodies. In doing so, it undertakes a critical examination of legal rights and duties, exposing the fundamental questions that arise when addressing a range of issues within an organization. In order to provide the best foundation, the textbook focuses on several key topics: the law of treaties, creation of organizations, membership, powers of organizations, legal effects of their acts, organs, immunities, and responsibility. This book is best suited for students who are studying international organizations and who have already had one or more courses on international and/or European law.
Cases and Materials on the Law of Torts (American Casebook Series)
by Mary Davis Joseph Sanders George Christie W. CardiThis sixth edition, continuing the use of minimally edited cases, serves as a vehicle for teaching first-year students the essential techniques of case analysis and legal method. This edition has been substantially shortened so as to meet the needs of instructors who teach a three or four hour introductory tort course. Throughout, the book is modified to include developments in tort law since the fifth edition was published in 2012. For example, the intentional tort chapter recognizes and discusses the Restatement (Third) of Torts: Intentional Torts. The chapters on negligence and causation recognize and discuss cases relying on and referencing the Restatement (Third) of Torts: Liability for Physical & Emotional Harm. The chapter on duty reflects the framework by which courts think about duty. It brings together in one place all the areas of tort law that apply special duty rules. The Causation Chapter adds material on causation in toxic tort cases and the admissibility of expert witnesses after Daubert. The materials on products liability capture recent developments in that area. The Insurance Chapter incorporates the new restatement on insurance law. The chapter on tort reform updates the empirical research on the operation of the tort system and the effects of tort reform.

Cases in Clinical Forensic Psychology
by Margo C. WattClinical forensic psychology is defined by the application of clinical psychology – assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and consultation – in legal contexts. The term captures the integration of clinical psychology as an applied professional discipline and forensic psychology as an experimental discipline. Cases in Clinical Forensic Psychology offers a series of case studies that allow readers to take an up-close and personal look at the criminal justice system in Canada. Clinical forensic psychologist Margo C.Watt examines the particulars of each case, including the biological, psychological, social, cultural, and legal factors. The book takes an evidence-based approach and highlights how the science of clinical forensic psychology informs all aspects of criminal cases: police investigative techniques, eyewitness testimony, pretrial publicity, jury selection and decision-making, forensic evaluations, psychological autopsies, mental health in corrections, and mo.re. Examining incidents ranging from false confessions to wrongful convictions to deaths in custody and the criminals who got away, Cases in Clinical Forensic Psychology questions how and why these events happened and considers what we can learn from them.
Cases in Court
by Sir Patrick HastingsCASES IN COURT is a personal account of his most memorable trials by a great British barrister whose name was world-famous. In all of the cases described he played a leading part. Here, as he writes in his preface, are “pictures of the litigants themselves: just ordinary human beings seeking redress against their wrongs, real or imaginary; men and women struggling to protect their reputations and perhaps their lives.” There are five notorious murder trials, including “The Case of the Blazing Car”, “The Case of the Hooded Man”, and the extraordinary case of Mrs. Barney; six trials for libel or slander, including the action brought by a Russian Princess against a film corporation, “The Case of the Three Sisters”, “The Case of the Illuminating Dot”, and “The Case of the Talking Mongoose”; and ten other miscellaneous cases that were headlined in their day. At the end of the book the author briefly discusses good and bad advocacy, and answers some interesting questions that are often asked about a barrister’s profession.
Cases in European Competition Policy: The Economic Analysis
by Bruce LyonsCompetition between firms is usually the most effective way of delivering economic efficiency and what consumers want. However, there is a balance to be struck. Firms must not be over-regulated and so hampered in their development of innovative products and new strategies to compete for customers. Nor must they be completely free to satisfy a natural preference for monopoly, which would give them higher profits and a quieter life. The economic role of competition policy (control of anticompetitive agreements, mergers and abusive practices) is to maintain this balance, and an effective policy requires a nuanced understanding of the economics of industrial organization. Cases in European Competition Policy demonstrates how economics is used (and sometimes abused) in competition cases in practical competition policy across Europe. Each chapter summarizes a real case investigated by the European Commission or a national authority, and provides a critique of key aspects of the economic analysis.

Cases of Conflict: Transboundary Disputes And The Development Of International Environmental Law
by Allen L. SpringerCases of Conflict focuses on times of dispute as important moments in the development of international environmental law. Conflict tests international law—both its content and its relevance become clearer in times of controversy—but conflict can also help shape the law. Drawing from a growing body of scholarship connecting the fields of international relations and international law, Cases of Conflict examines six prominent case studies to demonstrate how transboundary disputes have influenced the development of international environmental law and policy. Embracing their rich detail and real-world messiness, this book looks to develop a better understanding of the true content and potential of international environmental law.

Casos de pruebas circunstanciales: La mujer de Martin Guerre | El juicio de Sören Qvist | El fantasma de Monsieur Scarron
by Janet LewisLas tres novelas que forman la célebre trilogía de Janet Lewis «Casos de pruebas circunstanciales», reunidas en un solo volumen. La trilogía de Janet Lewis está basada en algunos de los errores judiciales que aparecen en el tratado sobre la Ley de la prueba que el jurista inglés Samuel March Philips escribió en el siglo XIX. Lewis escribió estas novelas a lo largo de dos décadas, fascinada por la forma en que las pruebas circunstanciales y los relatos de los testigos pueden sentenciar el destino de una persona, así como la forma en que la construcción del relato se impone con tal fuerza que amenaza con diluir la realidad o la búsqueda de la verdad. A pesar de la variedad de escenarios y circunstancias, desde el célebre caso de la duplicidad de identidades en La mujer de Martin Guerre, la trágica historia del pastor protestante injustamente ajusticiado en El juicio de Sören Qvist y el trasfondo político en el marco de la gran hambruna de 1693-1694 durante el reinado de Luis XIV en El fantasma de Monsieur Scarron, Janet Lewis refleja con gran maestría la compleja encrucijada entre la ley y la justicia. Crítica:«No errarán demasiado quienes auguran que dentro de un siglo Janet Lewis gozará de un rango similar al de Stendhal y Hawthrone, incluso Flaubert y Melville, en la historia de la literatura.»Javier Marías
Caste-based Discrimination in International Human Rights Law
by David KeaneWith particular focus on the Hindu caste system, this book represents a comprehensive analysis of the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination in international law. It evaluates the strategies that have informed the work of the United Nations in this area, mapping a new path that moves from standard-setting to implementation. Combining legal analysis with the meaning and origin of caste, it explores the remedies human rights law can propose towards the prohibition of caste-based discrimination, and the abolition of the caste system itself. The book provides a benchmark on the achievements of the international community in combating all forms of racial discrimination, and the policies that must inform future measures. With its clear and accessible style this volume will be of interest to scholars of law and human rights, as well as policy-makers and practitioners working in this area.
Castigo
by Ferdinand von SchirachTras Crímenes y Culpa, el jurista alemán Ferdinand von Schirach regresa con Castigo. Basada en casos reales, Crímenes, la primera obra de Ferdinand von Schirach, ganadora del prestigioso Premio Kleist y uno de los mayores éxitos de los últimos años en Alemania, fascinó y conmovió por la honestidad y lucidez con que planteaba la búsqueda de la verdad en los procesos criminales. Culpa, una colección de punzantes miniaturas sobre el insondable comportamiento humano, mereció de nuevo el elogio de la crítica y los lectores. Ahora, Von Schirach vuelve a convertir doce casos de su dilatada trayectoria profesional en sendas piezas de orfebrería literaria que tratan, con su aguzado instinto narrativo y su particular sentido del humor, las consecuencias penales y morales del castigo. Una mujer que asume la culpa del delito de parricidio cometido por su marido, los efectos catastróficos de un juicio cancelado tras declarar no apto a un miembro del jurado popular y un hombre con las funciones de la corteza cerebral dañadas al haber resbalado con el collar de perlas de su amante son algunos de los sustanciosos argumentos de estas turbadoras historias rebosantes de ingenio y reflexiones agudas sobre la naturaleza humana. Al tiempo que resalta los elementos más imponderables del poder judicial y pone el foco en los sentimientos más frágiles y secretos que anidan en nuestro interior, Castigo nos habla de lo que sucede tras una sentencia firme, un hipotético accidente o un crimen planificado. En algunos relatos, el castigo resulta fortuito pero oportuno, mientras que en otros adquiere forma de venganza deliberada. Y aunque en ocasiones éste sea injusto y doloroso, puede significar la única vía hacia la salvación. La crítica ha dicho...«Doce relatos inolvidables sobre el sistema judicial. Implacables, precisos, fríamente distantes y, también, profundamente humanos.»Claudio Armbruster, ZDF «Una y otra vez, me sorprende la capacidad de Ferdinand von Schirach para captar lo contradictorio en los entornos más reducidos, para dibujar el gran espacio emocional en pocas palabras. Una y otra vez, me siento conmovido por esta combinación de precisión no sentimental y maravillosa, la empatía filantrópica que hace que sus textos sean incomparables.»Michael Haneke «La literatura de Von Schirach mira de cerca, con claridad y enorme lucidez, aunque lo que tenga que explicar no siempre sea bonito.»Focus «Pocos autores son capaces de provocar sentimientos tan intensos con tan pocas palabras. Von Schirach es un narrador compasivo y muy humano.»Abendzeitung
