Contract Law and the Legislature

Autonomy, Expectations, and the Making of Legal Doctrine

Edited by TT Arvind, University of York, UK & Jenny Steele, University of York, UK This book revisits some of the key debates about the nature and shape of contract law, in light of the impact that statutes have had on its development. With contributions from leading contract law scholars, it fills a significant gap in existing theoretical and doctrinal analyses of contract law, which rely primarily on cases to put forward accounts of the general principles and structure of contract law.

Police Street Powers and Criminal Justice

Regulation and Discretion in a Time of Change

Geoff Pearson, The University of Manchester, UK & Mike Rowe, University of Liverpool Management School, UK

This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com

This open access book analyses the utilisation, regulation and legitimacy of police powers. Drawing upon ethnographic research in two police forces in England, it uncovers the importance of time and place, supervision and monitoring, local policies and law. Covering a period when the police were under intense scrutiny and subject to austerity measures, it contends that the concept of police culture does not help us understand police discretion. It argues that change is a dominant feature of policing and identifies fragmented responses to law and policy reform, within police stations, across different policing roles, and between senior and frontline ranks.

This book explores the contractual basis for innovation, examining the legal challenges raised by contracts to innovate. On the one hand, it examines empirical studies analysing how these agreements are structured in order to overcome the inherent uncertainty of innovative activity. On the other hand it develops the legal doctrine governing contracts to innovate, in particular the notion of duty of loyalty to the contractual network, providing suggestions on how to concretise it.

The Political Turn in Criminal Law Scholarship

Edited by Christoph Burchard, Goethe University, Germany, Vincent Chiao, University of Toronto, Canada, Rocío Lorca, University of Chile & Javier Wilenmann, Adolfo Ibáñez University, Chile In this book, scholars from a wide range of legal traditions – Latin America, North America and Europe – explore the recent “political turn” in criminal law theory. The political turn marks a shift away from the popular and, in common law jurisdictions, prevailing conception of criminal law as a reflection of private, interpersonal morality. This volume takes stock of the political turn from an international and interdisciplinary perspective. The contributors draw upon philosophy, political criminology, critical sociology and law to assess both the promise, and limitations, of a political conception of crime and punishment.

Environmental Adjudication

Emma Lees, University of Cambridge, UK & Ole W Pedersen, University of Newcastle, UK This book provides a detailed study of the role of adjudication in environmental law. It examines theoretical issues concerning the role of judges and other adjudicators, taking account of different legal cultures and contexts, exploring the multifaceted pressures faced by adjudicators when navigating the tensions between maintaining neutrality, resolving disputes, and providing guidance and assistance for future courts, policy-makers and decisionmakers. In addition, it identifies the main adjudicatory 'avenues' which exist in the environmental law of England and Wales and explores the relationship between adjudication and coherence. It concludes with an exploration of what constitutes ‘good’ environmental adjudication.
