Abstract:

The first part answers the book’s first question: ‘What is a Legal Dilemma?’ It frames the book’s analysis by offering a stipulative definition of the term legal dilemma and its constitutive components as a term of art. Once defined, the term will then be distinguished from numerous related concepts (Section A), such as legal gaps, disagreements, or paradoxes. The first part also considers various circumstances, including international law’s non-hierarchical nature and fragmentation, which increase the potential frequency with which dilemmas may arise (Section B). Finally, this part introduces

Abstract:

This chapter first reviews the changing perceptions of ‘legal risk’ over the years. It then considers a school of thought that holds that a definition of legal risk is not necessary. It examines the relevance of the definition of legal risk in the allocation of responsibility and effective risk management, impact on policy, responsibility for corporate misbehaviour, advantages of a ‘norm’, and the need for flexibility. Next, it sets out the International Bar Association’s definition of legal risk. The final section deals with the issues raised the employee who ‘goes off the rails’, or the ‘rog

Abstract:

Chapter 3 explores the interpretive stasis of definition, where there is a question concerning the intended or appropriate scope of the basic sense of a term in a text. The chapter shows how rhetors, by persuasively articulating a definition and resorting to various lines of argument, can shift the meaning of passages and reframe controversies hinging on a text’s interpretation by adjusting the scope of a single term. But only linchpin terms (similar to Burke’s and Weaver’s ultimate terms) have this governing quality. The chapter’s central example consists of oral arguments from the 2010 Supre

Abstract:

This chapter first considers the relationship between the sources of legal risk considered in Chapter 24 and the causes of loss attributable to legal risk identified in the International Bar Association definition. Whereas the sources describe the social circumstances that cause legal risk to arise, the definition is concerned with how an institution, when faced with a legal risk-originated problem, should answer the question: how did this happen (or how can we prevent this happening)? Consideration of the sources helps us to understand why legal risks arise in the broader social context but i

Abstract:

This chapter considers the various sources of legal risk. Understanding the sources of legal risk is at least as important as understanding the component parts of a detailed definition. Only in this way can we understand why legal risks arise in the first place. Developing such an understanding is crucial to designing systems and procedures intended to manage the risks. The sources of legal risk include the behaviour of financial institutions (i.e. limited legal awareness, failure to implement legal advice, exploiting the letter of the law, and outsourcing), the nature of financial markets (i.

Impulse control disorders present unique legal issues for the criminal justice system.These behaviors require that the courts differentiate an uncontrolled act from an uncontrollable act. Kleptomania is by definition a disorder linked to illegal behaviors, whereas pathological gambling and compulsive sexual behavior are two impulse control disorders that are often associated with illegal activities for some individuals. Can and should a psychiatric disorder be used as a defense for criminal responsibility? This chapter will discuss the legal aspects of certain impulse control disorders and how

This chapter contends that Hobbes was a prominent interlocutor in debates on the source of obligation in the common law, and while customary international law was not capable of attracting sovereign authority, it did not mean that there could be no moral constraints in the relations among states. While justice and injustice are the creation of the sovereign, he narrowly confined those terms to the honouring of contracts. The content of the law does not determine our obligation to obey it, nor our judgement about justice and injustice; it is whether we have broken faith with a covenant that det

Two case studies are provided to give empirical confirmation of this theoretical approach, showing how this legal methodology aligns with slaving practices in Athens and Babylonia.

This chapter discusses the Bermuda Form occurrence definition. The occurrence definition has historically served a dual function. It describes the nature of the event or circumstance subject to coverage in general.

In the Bermuda Forms, the occurrence definition is an amalgam or hybrid creature,

The second part validates the stipulative definition of Part I by identifying those norm conflicts which contemporary international law cannot satisfactorily resolve. In doing so, this part answers the second research question—whether legal dilemmas could exist in international law—in the affirmative and demarcates the doctrinal space that legal dilemmas occupy. The argument develops in three sections. The first section identifies the inherent limitations of norm conflict resolution devices. Norm conflict resolution devices deal with a norm conflict by establishing a hierarchy or a compromise

Abstract:

Antidiscrimination law focuses on material conduct. A legal concept of hatred, by contrast, focuses on attitudes, as manifest notably through hate speech bans. Democracies by definition assign higher-law status to expression within public discourse. Such expression can, in principle, be legally curtailed only through a showing that it would likely cause some legally cognizable harm. Defenders of bans, struggling with standard empirical claims, have overtly or tacitly applied “anti-Cartesian” phenomenological and sociolinguistic theories to challenge dominant norms that largely limit such harm
