This is a study of elite English men of English law and the methods they used to retain and justify their power and privilege, through controlling the story of the legal person. It looks at how these men of legal authority thought of themselves and their institution; how they studied and explained law; and how they put themselves in the middle of it, as the standard human in need of legal regulation and protection and in charge of that regulation and protection, and assigned to women an inferior legal role and being. The main concept employed to do all this was 'the legal person'. From the 1860s to the 1920s the courts declared that women were not 'persons' who could exercise public power - to vote, to sit in Parliament, to gain degrees, to be lawyers. Up to the end of the 20th century, and into the 21st, women's personhood remained precarious in the private sphere, for rape was excused within a marriage and female reproduction remained under state control (as it still does). It looks at the positive exclusion of women from the means of making legal meaning, especially the ability to shape law's central concept and shows the epistemological effects of this sex differential of legal power which are still felt today. Leading legal thinkers who helped to construct the concept are still revered. Law's continuing male orientation is neither seen nor acknowledged and the legal person is treated (falsely) as if he had always been and remains anyone.

A first-of-its-kind compilation of restorative justice dialogues, with a foreword by bestselling author Howard Zehr, author of the bestselling Little Book of Restorative Justice The use of restorative justice is becoming more commonplace around the country. This practice brings victims together with offenders to discuss the impact of the offense, restore breaches of community, and together draw up a plan for repair. Unlike proceedings in a court of law that prioritize punishment, restorative justice addresses victims' desire for repair, understanding, and healing. But it is also a confidential process--rarely videotaped or accessible to those who want to know: what actually happens in a restorative justice session? Restorative Justice Up Close is the first book to relate stories of actual dialogues, in the words of participants. Affecting and direct, the book features stories from K-12 school staff about restorative circles that got to the root of misbehavior without suspensions, and from skeptical police and probation officers who learn that a facilitated dialogue can produce better outcomes than a prosecution ever could. And in stories that will make readers cry, Restorative Justice Up Close recounts meetings between survivors of violent crime and those responsible, where both parties emerge with a sense of relief and healing. A book for educators, justice reformers, and anyone curious about a more humane approach to wrongdoing, Restorative Justice Up Close offers a compelling picture of what it means to truly "do justice."

A sobering revelation of the law's ramped-up attacks on the most vulnerable among us, and what to do about it Pink Crime is a revealing and deeply researched examination of the strategic use of criminal law by today's right-wing movement to limit the bodily autonomy of women and queer people. The criminal justice system increasingly targets the most vulnerable populations, particularly women, pregnant individuals, and queer people. This powerful book examines the alarming rate of wrongful convictions among women, uncovering how bias, stigma, and unreliable evidence have led to prosecution where no crime occurred. It paints a disturbing picture of how the deaths of loved ones--whether a husband who passed in his sleep or a child with a health condition--have been twisted into false accusations of murder due to systemic prejudices and prosecutorial overreach. The book goes beyond wrongful convictions to explore the criminalization of identity, revealing how today's legal system disproportionately punishes actions related to pregnancy, motherhood, and queer identity. Pink Crime emphasizes how these legal mechanisms not only strip away basic rights but also lay the groundwork for even more oppressive measures in the future. This deep and comprehensive analysis provides readers with historical context, real-life case studies, and a legal framework to understand the current threat posed by the strategic use of criminal law. By examining the interplay of wrongful convictions and the criminalization of vulnerable communities, the book offers vital insights into the coercive power of the legal system. It serves as a wake-up call to advocates, lawyers, and citizens, equipping them with the knowledge and tools necessary to push back against these injustices and fight for systemic reform to protect bodily autonomy and fundamental rights.

Die Vorschriften der §§ 241 Abs. 2, 311 Abs. 2 BGB wurden durch die Schuldrechtsmodernisierung 2002 hinzugefügt. Dabei handelt es sich um außerdeliktische Schutzpflichten. Das Vertragsrecht übernimmt den Integritätsschutz, der im Grunde durch das Deliktsrecht gewährleistet wird. Der außerdeliktische Integritätsschutz wird seit dem Linoleumrollen-Fall auch durch das Vertragsrecht gewährleistet. Ein Kernproblem war die Haftungslücke in der deliktischen Gehilfenhaftung nach § 831 Abs. 1 S. 2 BGB; der Geschädigte wurde dadurch geschützt, dass das Reichsgericht eine vertragliche Haftung anwandte. Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit den Gründen hierfür und mit der dogmengeschichtlichen Entwicklung außerdeliktischer Schutzpflichten. Im Reformprozess wurde jedoch eine Oppositionsfront gegen den Gesetzgeber aufgebaut. Die deutsche dogmatische Entwicklungsgeschichte ist als Leitfaden für die Reform der deliktischen Gehilfenhaftung im koreanischen ZGB von Bedeutung.

Das Fachgebiet Recht ist angesichts der notwendigen Tätigkeit beeidigter Übersetzer und einer intensiven länderübergreifenden Zusammenarbeit durch ein hohes Übersetzungsvolumen gekennzeichnet, sieht sich innerhalb der Fachsprachenforschung und der Translationswissenschaft allerdings regelmäßig mit zahlreichen Hürden, Gefahren und einem Sonderstatus konfrontiert. Der Autor untersucht die vielfältige Spezifik der Sprache des Rechts, deren Übertragbarkeit in andere Rechtsordnungen vor dem Hintergrund einer darlegbaren semantischen Inkongruenz häufig negiert wird. Aufgrund der dadurch erkennbaren Notwendigkeit einer angepassten ontologischen sowie translatorischen Herangehensweise wird die Frame-Semantik als Darstellungsformat und Analyseinstrument ins Feld geführt. Entwickelt wird ein frame-basiertes Modell, das die adäquate Erfassung systemgebundener Rechtstermini als komplex vernetzte Wissensrahmen sowie kognitiv-epistemisch orientierte translatorische Entscheidungen ermöglicht.

In der Praxis haben sich vielfältige Formen von Beiräten entwickelt, die teils aufsichtsratsähnlich sind, teils aber auch grundlegende Unterschiede aufweisen. Gesetzliche Vorgaben gibt es insoweit nicht.Die Gründe für die Einrichtung von Beiräten sind mannigfaltig. Es kann darum gehen, die Gesellschaft in der Außendarstellung mit den Namen bekannter Persönlichkeiten zu "schmücken" oder Fachkompetenz zu bündeln, die der Geschäftsführung zur Verfügung steht. Bei den vom Autor untersuchten Start-ups spielen Beiräte eine große Rolle, um die Interessen von Investoren und Kreditgebern abzusichern. Die praktische Bedeutung der Beiräte nimmt aktuell kontinuierlich zu.Die Vielfalt der Anlässe und Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten bringt es neben dem gesetzlichen Regelungsverzicht mit sich, dass viele Fragen rund um die Beiräte nicht abschließend geklärt sind. Zu diesen Fragen zählen namentlich auch die Haftungsfragen. Dieses Buch weist Aktualität und hohe praktische Relevanz auf.
