Abstract:

This thesis is a doctrinal analysis of the legislation and case law in Australia regulating destruction of the fetus in the contexts of third party crimes against the pregnant woman, abortion, and conscientious objection by doctors to participating in abortion. Its aim is to consider whether there is a consistent position in Australian law regarding the legal status of the fetus and when its destruction is lawful. This thesis examines the dichotomy present in the criminal law's characterisation of the pregnant woman and the fetus as one entity when the fetus is destroyed through an assault on

Abstract:

The term "exonerated"‖refers to a legal acquittal of a former conviction due to the introduction of new evidence. Since 1989, the number of legal xonerations has increased dramatically due to DNA and other new evidentiary technologies that can demonstrate innocence of formally convicted persons. This research focuses on the lived experience of exoneration and its aftermath through a life history of John Thompson (JT), a New Orleans native, convicted of murder and sentenced to death in 1985. In 2003, after eighteen years in Angola, the Louisiana State Penitentiary, fourteen on death row, JT was

Abstract:

A more conservative supreme court will likely have the chance to overrule Roe v. Wade. Many states have passed heartbeat laws that will probably be taken all the way to the supreme court, these cases will ask the supreme court to affirm fetal personhood, giving fetuses a constitutionally recognized right to due process and making abortion illegal. In this thesis, I will defend an expansion of protections for pregnant peoples through a socialized right to abortion.

Abstract:

The pursuit of work-life balance (WLB) is a prominent topic in academic research and media reports, with many scholars and commentators describing the challenges faced by members of the labour market in balancing their employment duties with their personal responsibilities/desires. The crisis is very pronounced in the legal profession, with its institutional culture that places employment interests above family obligations and personal desires. Vanquishing this crisis is imperative not only because of its negative effect on lawyer health, but also because the number of women practicing law in

Abstract:

This thesis is about the legal and moral status of abortion. It is primarily concerned with the metaphysical status of the foetus, with particular attention to the question whether the foetus is properly characterised as a person in the philosophical sense. The argument of the thesis proceeds in two parts. The first part surveys certain lines of argument to the effect that the question of prenatal personhood is immaterial to the moral and legal permissibility of abortion. Against these claims, it argues that the personhood status of the foetus is indeed central to the moral and legal appraisal

Abstract:

The present thesis deals with the immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers’ right to family life.

The present dissertation examines the foreigners’ right to family life from an international human rights law perspective, from an EU law perspective but also includes a comparative study of the legislation of three EU Member States, namely Spain, Greece and Germany.

Abstract:

This thesis aims to illuminate how paediatricians in the United Kingdom (UK) make difficult medical decisions when treating severely disabled children with complex health conditions. In particular, it examines the part played, if any, by law, rights, and ethics in those decisions. After drawing on jurisprudence of the English and European Human Rights Court, together with existing scholarship, to analyse the doctors' decision making, this thesis adopts a legal consciousness theoretical approach. Using this it looks at how the paediatricians make sense of and conceptualise law when making these

Abstract:

This thesis aims to make feminist theory an integral part of hospital ethics committee ("HEC") decisionmaking. Specifically, the feminist theories discussed in this thesis prioritize an awareness of social context. The small-scale study conducted for this thesis found that HECs already consider social context to some extent but that they may also be open to more systematic integration. As opposed to courts, HECs provide a space where innovative alternatives (e.g., feminist approaches) to principalist bioethical decisionmaking can be tested.

Abstract:

This thesis critically examines how the organ trade fits into the anti-trafficking framework, its link to organised crime and the wider political economy. The organ trade involves diverse actors and consists of various practices, including organ trafficking, transplant tourism, organ sales and organ harvesting. Nevertheless, the organ trade is predominantly defined in terms of organ trafficking and discursively framed as a law enforcement issue. Although organ trafficking is considered a major international concern, it is not representative of the phenomenon as a whole. Evidence based research

In the context of globalization, the idea of place is reputed to be losing its footing.

Central to the idea that jurisdiction is losing its familiar moorings is the implication that other forms of thinking about legal normativity are emerging as more commonsensical alternatives to the state-based idea of jurisdiction that eme

Is legal status a master status for migrant belonging? If not, how do other factors--such as social networks, religious participation, language and cultural familiarity--shape belonging? Over the past few years, some migration scholars have suggested that legal status is a "master status"which determines migrant outcomes (Gonzales 2015). Other literature suggests that migrant outcomes are determined by a variety of factors, asserting that migrant experiences can be better understood by studying the interaction between these factors (Enriquez 2017; Valdez and Golash-Boza 2020).

Life without parole for juvenile offenders is a controversial issue across the globe. Recently, the United States stands alone as the only country in the world that allows juvenile offenders to be sentenced to life time confinement without the possibility of parole. Furthermore, the U.S. has seen an increase in juvenile waivers and blended sentences, which has resulted in harsher penalties for juvenile offenders who have committed serious and violent crimes.

The child welfare and juvenile delinquent systems, however, can have 'messy boundaries' where they overlap, intermesh and/or have cracks and gaps as children and young people enter, move within and exit them.

Abstract:

L’assurance-vie est le placement préféré des français. A cette activité de masse se pose un problème fondamental, celui de la comptabilité des règles juridiques, techniques et fiscaux applicables au contrat d’assurance-vie avec les besoins de protection des consommateurs d’assurance. Par contre au Maroc, nombreux sont les marocains qui ne peuvent pas s’offrir ce contrat, pour diverses raisons: économiques, sociales ou religieuses. Cette étude ambitionne de transcender le simple champ du droit, et tenir compte des aspects sociaux, techniques, économiques et fiscaux liés au contrat d’assurance-v

Abstract:

After the initial excitement about the Internet as a space outside of governmental control has evaporated and courts in several states have applied national laws to ‘Cyberspace’, there is now a consensus among scholars that regulators have in principle the authority and capacity to regulate the Internet. Nevertheless, the application of the established tools of regulation - legislation and adjudication - to the current challenges to copyright regulation posed by the Internet has proven to be ineffective and produced undesirable side effects. Although market self-regulation has been suggested a

Abstract:

Reduzir a limitação inerente ao uso de reservas geológicas como matéria-prima é fundamental para a manutenção da viabilidade da produção industrial mundial. Esse novo contexto depende de uma transição para o uso de reservas biológicas, renováveis, que podem ser convertidas em biocombustíveis e biopolímeros. Em contraste, essa produção demanda, por vezes, ocupações e transformações da terra, resultando em diversos impactos na natureza. Desta forma, considera-se essencial a inclusão do uso da terra no Inventário de Ciclo de Vida dos Produtos e a avaliação de seus impactos. A localização, clima e

M.A. University of the Witwatersrand, Faculty of Humanties, School of Social Sciences (History), 2012<br>This study is a partial historical biography of the life of one woman, Shulamith Muller. The child of a Jewish immigrant family, she traversed many of her native country's generally impermeable social boundaries to become truly South African. She married an Afrikaner, product of another closed, white community but her politics, and that of her husband, led them both into a completely different South Africa. In this wider world her commitment to, and belief in, the rule of law, justice

Abstract:

碩士<br>國立政治大學<br>風險管理與保險研究所<br>95<br>Group life insurance arises from the thought that employers have the responsibilities to take care of their employees. Until now, group life insurance has become an important part of industries’ risk management plans for distributing and transferring industries’ life and liability risk. Group life insurance insures more than five persons in one policy, and this “group” characteristic makes group life insurance different from general life insurance in many aspects: underwriting, premiums, partly effective and contract clauses. Presently, provisions of group
