Full textAbstract:
AbstractAre Asian law schools adequately preparing law students to handle problems raised by cross-border disputes? Preparation has generally been limited to courses in conflicts of law, international law and comparative law, but the successful presentation of a legal position in a foreign legal system arguably requires more than an understanding of legal rules. Studies in legal culture suggest that participants in different legal systems think about the law in radically different ways. Comparative examples from the criminal justice systems of the United States and Japan demonstrate that some knowledge of a comparative rhetoric of argument - which arguments are appropriate in different legal systems - is required. Legal Writing Programmes can play a role in teaching comparative argument by expanding the concept of “audience” to include foreign legal systems.

This scientific paper shall review the indemnification of damage, based on compulsory and voluntary insurance in theoretical as well as in practical terms of property material and personal goods, inflicted by case-insured risk. In this scientific paper, it shall be professionally attempted to scrutinize judicial and procedural issues in realization of a claim, as well as lawsuit for indemnification of damage from the insured case.I hope this scientific paper shall be helpful to lawyers, scholars and students of law, in order to create a clearer and more punctual vision over the concepts of indemnification of damage in general, and in particular compulsory and voluntary damage which is regulated by the Law on compulsory motor liability insurance as well as by the Law on Obligational Relationships. It will also help in expanding the knowledge during the implementation in legal daily life, moreover while studies of this type were absent in our legal literature.

In the article the formation of legal education at the University of Melbourne, its short and successful path to worldwide recognitionis examined. The importance of researching such a successful example for national legal education is shown. Important researchby well-known professors who have worked at the University of Lviv and the University of Melbourne is depicted, and their contributionto the study of legal education in Melbourne is revealed.The author of the article shows that the experience of legal education in one of the oldest law schools in Australia – the Universityof Melbourne, which is now one of the world’s leading universities, as well as 50 best educational institutions in the world, is importantas an example of legal education for Ukrainian universities, in particular Lviv University. Legal education at Lviv University occupiesa significant place in the education of young professionals for crucial government positions.Founded in 1853, the University of Melbourne is the second oldest university in Australia. This is a state research university. Itconsists of 10 colleges located on the main campus and in the surrounding suburbs, which offer academic, cultural and sports programs.The University of Melbourne often ranks first among Australian universities in the world rankings. More than 46 % of his students areforeigners. This school is officially accredited by the Australian Department of Education and Training.The teaching of law, until 1873 at the University of Melbourne, was governed directly by the board and faculty; there was nocouncil or committee in charge of the faculty, and no head or administrator to lead the law course other than faculty and university officials.It was the council that decided on the details of the curriculum and considered students’ complaints about things like absenteeismand lecture venues. Other disciplines were in the same position. Not only in the field of law, but in general, the university did not havefaculties that would be responsible for certain areas of study.The university was so small that in 1872 it had only 134 students, 53 of whom studied law. In the early 1870s, the situation wasfavorable for change. The council committee explored the possibility of expanding the teaching of law by creating more subjects andlecture courses, and at the same time, by creating a new body, a faculty to oversee them.The council committee called this change the creation of a law school, and since then the terms “law school” (“law schools”) and“law faculty” have sometimes been interchangeable. Law classes were called a “school of law” for several months after their foundingin 1872. This term was sometimes used in another sense (as a discipline with honors). Despite the ambiguous terminology, the councilmeant the creation of the faculty and the accompanying reorganization of teaching in 1872–1873.The author of the article argues that building a legal education in Ukraine is impossible without a proper study of the experience,knowledge and practical skills that existed at the University of Melbourne. The opinion is based on the fact that the organization ofwork, cooperation with students and involvement of a large number of foreigners remains a model to follow. This approach to coope -ration and establishing contacts with their structure has made them famous and universally recognized worldwide. We can see thisbecause the University of Melbourne is now one of the world’s leading universities, as well as one of 50 best educational institutionsin the world.

Problem setting. Current events in Ukraine have forced a new look at the concept of “modernization of the legal system” and innovation processes. The process of modernization of the legal system is developed on the initiative and with the support of the state and through legal means of influence on society. This process has long had a great impact on the nature and state of Ukrainian statehood, the role of law in our society, the understanding of law by Ukrainians, their attitude to law and the state. Analysis of resent researches and publications. The analysis of modernization and innovation processes in politics is conditioned by the need to study the problem of political transformations of the Ukrainian state and society, changes in the political system, transformation of political life, search for alternative ways out of crisis situations. Innovative political development takes place in the context of global transformations on a global scale. This means the need to study and apply foreign, international experience in the development and implementation of innovations in political practice, taking into account Ukrainian conditions. Modernization and innovation processes in public and political life are studied in the works of T. Parsons, S. Eisenstadt, D. Lerner, W. Moore, A. Etzioni, W. Rostow, G. Almond, S. Verb, L. Binder, L. Pai, S. Huntington, A. Toynbee, P. Sorokin, K. Jaspers, Palamarchuk M.O., Glibko S.V., Simpson O.E. and others. Target of research. The process of modernization and innovation are of great importance in the life of Ukraine. The idea of modernization and innovation can be considered as an idea that unites Ukraine, as part of the state ideology, as the dominant development of Ukraine. These ideas influenced further progress in economic, scientific, technical, social and other relations. Studying the peculiarities of the processes of modernization of law in Ukraine is not only interesting but also useful from a practical point of view. The concept of innovative modernization is studied, which changes the type of socio-economic development of society and requires the transformation of the existing political system. Article’s main body. Modernization as a global process entails changes, including in the social sphere. These include increasing social mobility and quality of life, forming institutions of social policy and civil society, increasing the value of human capital, the need for constant investment in professional development and staff development, improving education, expanding access to tangible and intangible benefits. Competition and constant development are the main prerequisites for modernization processes. Innovation should be understood as a commitment to think and act in a way that promotes continuous improvement by identifying, disseminating and embracing creative ideas. Innovation should improve public policy, administration and the re-use of existing knowledge, as well as the creation and application of new knowledge. In a broad sense, innovations are the latest data that are implemented regardless of the scope; it is usually a product of intellectual activity of the actors who implement them. Conclusions and prospects for the development. Thus, innovation is an innovation that radically transforms social reality. Today the country needs innovative modernization, which changes the socio-economic development of society and requires the transformation of the existing political system. Innovative modernization is a significant increase in the ability of the political system to stably and successfully adapt to new patterns of socio-political goals and create new types of relationships, institutions, practices based on innovation in economic, social, regional, international policy and other spheres of life.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe paper explores the possibilities and perils of an interdisciplinary approach to legal studies emerging as an alternative intellectual paradigm to the doctrinal tradition within legal scholarship. The privileged status accorded to the doctrinal tradition within the legal academy is sustained by its continued importance in providing a link between law as a field of intellectual inquiry and law as a field of professional practice. Despite the promise of a more pluralistic intellectual climate within the legal academy, it seems unlikely that an interdisciplinary approach to legal studies will succeed in challenging the preeminence of legal doctrine as the primary source of professional-knowledge claims about law. At the same time, however, any attempt to claim legal studies as a separate field of intellectual inquiry outside the legal academy confronts many of the same doubts about the nature of law as a unitary object of knowledge as the doctrinal tradition from which it seeks to distance itself. The paradox of the legal studies project is that whenever it tries to free itself from the embrace of the doctrinal tradition, it confronts epistemological doubts about the conditions for its own existence. It appears, therefore, that the legal studies project is destined to continue its labours in the shadow of the law.

Full textAbstract:
Judgment is a complex matter, with particular nuances in the context of juridical decision-making. The following commentary explores legal judgment at a particular juncture via a Cape colonial case in 1798 and through Foucault’s often overlooked essay, “Truth and Juridical Forms.” Noting the legacy of the test and the inquiry as knowledge formations that have significantly influenced judgment in European and colonial law, this discussion highlights how legal judgment might usefully be viewed as a shifting product of local and wider power-knowledge formations. Viewing a Cape record at some historical distance enables one to see colonial legal judgment as a process of its time and place. It also enables a more general, if admittedly exploratory, comment on judgment as an authorized, violent process that cuts and countersigns itself through complex transcriptions. As well, a performative contradiction attaches indecision to the heart of legal decisions, thereby disabling apodictic judgments and intimating a potential escape from totalitarian judgmental systems.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents a historical analysis of the content of one subject offered since 1956 to the Polish students of law, namely the “History of political and legal doctrines.” Until the 1989 this subject was treated as an introduction and presentation of only false, non-scientific ideas, confronted with the only true Marxist theory of law and state. After 1990 the subject called “Political and legal doctrines” or “Political and legal ideas” was steadily developing, it gave the broad knowledge of different political ideas like liberalism, conservatism, socialism as well as knowledge of different understanding of law, beginning with natural law, positivism and so on. At the same time the subject was depreciated and treated as a second rank, the score for students steadily diminished or the subject became non-obligatory. The article describes the long discussion of researchers and academic teachers of “Political and legal doctrines” at the faculties of law, focusing on the content of subject, the scope of coursebooks, the methodology of research and the methods of teaching. But the most important argument is, that “political and legal doctrines” became actually – together with history of law – almost the only subject, giving the students understanding and knowledge about the connection between philosophy, social science and law. The vast horizons seem necessary for lawyers, if they don’t want to be excessive positivist and dogmatic practitioners of statutes. The knowledge of different doctrines should allow them in future to have critical and broaden attitude to statutes. The conclusion is, that without the studying of “Political and legal doctrines” the studies of law change into simple dogmatic legal training.

Full textAbstract:
The paper encompasses such fields as language, communication, text, law in terms of legal communication. According to language, I try to define the language itself as well as the linguistic focusing mainly on accomplishments of De Saussure. Secondly, it was introduced the subject of communication and its history while taking into consideration the purpose of the paper: legal communication. Legal communication is based on juridical language and legal language. I discussed them and emphasised distinctions between them. This part of the paper, which I can describe as an introduction part, ends with an indication of the research on the field of legal communication. The second part deals in general with communication and problems concerning this matter. I paid attention to the problem of communicativeness, because this matter is not as easy to be provided in legal communication as it seems to be. I moved on to the text as a part of legal communication, its main assumptions which by scholars are perceived as unable to be fulfilled and levels of interpretation this kind of text. This topic is followed by the issue of terminology which is the key to understand the text relating to law. Then I come back to the language, however, this time I point out the command of Polish language, its culture and the language of law stressing aspects regarding correctness. I decided also to include the subject of legal translation which apart from the issues mentioned above needs the specialised knowledge. The final part presents the main thoughts and my conclusions noticing the mutual influence between presented areas as well as the general need of expanding knowledge specifically in relation to language and law.

Full textAbstract:
The use of indigenous knowledge (IK) and indigenous bio-resources by pharmaceutical and herbal industries has led to concerns about the need to protect IK in order to prevent biopiracy and the misappropriation of indigenous knowledge and resources. While some commentators believe that intellectual property rights (IPR) law can effectively protect IK, others are more sceptical. In order to contribute to the growing debate on this issue, this study uses the relatively new and as yet largely critically unanalysed Masakhane Pelargonium case to address the question of whether or not IPR law can be used to effectively protect IK. It is argued here that discussion about the protection of IK is a matter that must be located within broader discussions about North-South relations and the continued struggle for economic and political freedom by indigenous people and their states. The Masakhane case suggests that IPR law in its current form cannot provide sufficient protection of IK on its own. Incompatibilities between IPR law and IK necessitate that certain factors, most important of which are land, organised representation, and what are referred as 'confidence and network resources', be present in order for IPR law to be used with any degree of success. The study also reveals various factors that undermine the possibility of using IPR law to protect IK. In particular, the study highlights the way in which local political tensions can undermine the ability of communities to effectively use IPR law to protect their knowledge. The thesis concludes with several recommendations that will enable indigenous communities and their states to benefit more substantially from the commercialisation of their bio-resources and associated IK.

The purpose of the research was to investigate the knowledge-sharing practices of legal professionals at the Gauteng Justice Centres of the Legal Aid Board (LAB). The rationale for the study was based on the premise that since the LAB is a knowledge-intensive organization, it is well suited to the implementation of knowledge management. Any successful knowledge management implementation plan, is founded upon the knowledge-sharing culture of the organization, hence the motivation for the research. Self-administered questionnaires were used to survey the views of the legal professionals regarding their knowledge-sharing practices. Three hundred and twenty-five (325) questionnaires were distributed, of which 143 were returned. The data received was presented in the form of tables and figures. Percentages and content analysis was used to analyze the data collected. The findings from the survey revealed that while knowledge-sharing and knowledge management took place at the LAB, it was not guided by a strategy of the organization. The findings also revealed that the knowledge-sharing and knowledge management which did take place did so on an ad hoc basis and was woven into the daily activities of the respondents. The researcher drew conclusions based on the analysis of the data and in the context of related literature and proposed a way forward for the implementation of knowledge management and knowledge-sharing practices at the LAB. The researcher recommended that the LAB employ a knowledge officer, who should be responsible for driving the knowledge management process. Furthermore, the researcher recommended that knowledge sharing should be compulsory and be rewarded.Thesis (M.I.S.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2009.

AbstractUniversity Camilo José Cela (UCJC) is a private university located in Madrid (Spain) that belongs to the SEK Education Group, an institution with 125 years of tradition and a strong innovation identity. This case study presents the response that UCJC has given to facilitate the adaptation of the educational community (students, families, and teachers) to the situation arising from the pandemic caused by COVID-19. It will explain the coordination actions between students from the School of Education at UCJC and the impact derived from their interventions. Specifically, it will detail students’ participation as teacher assistants in online teaching within the IB pedagogical model to respond to the demands of primary and secondary teachers. This collaboration is the most outstanding due to the number of students and schools involved and the efficacy and efficiency of its implementation.On the other hand, there were other interventions of a smaller scale but a high social impact committed to disadvantaged sectors of the population. For example, our students’ support gave refugee students from Syria reinforcing their training or the psycho-emotional, educational, and legal assistance that volunteers from the bachelor’s degree of law provided to children and families in social exclusion. It is also significant to highlight the UCJC international actions: the teacher training program, EachTeach, provided educational methodologies, resources, and media to refugee teachers at the Kakuma refugee camp (Kenya), helping them to raise awareness about COVID-19, and the Cambodian program dedicated to training volunteers on how to combat the pandemic on these vulnerable contexts, where children live on the streets.Finally, to define broader collaborations and scale these initiatives in the future, this case study will reflect on the reasons for the success achieved, especially in training and pedagogical innovation and in the use of educational technology. The UCJC and SEK Schools collaboration allowed the use of a common technological language, sharing values. The development of training, support, and advice, between the university community (professors and faculty students) and the schools’ community (teachers, students, and families), enabled a wide range of relevant issues to be addressed in dealing with COVID-19 by schools and the broader education community.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis chapter is structured around the issue of gender research and what it means to conduct research with a gender perspective. Thus, it discusses research methodologies inspired by feminist ontological and epistemological approaches. Drawing on feminist standpoint theory, situated knowledge, feminist poststructuralism and intersectionality, the chapter shows how feminist scholars, especially feminist legal scholars, have adopted feminist epistemologies in challenging gender inequalities in law and society. The chapter draws on legal methods combined with feminist social theories that have assisted feminist scholars to go about legal reforms. Furthermore, focusing on qualitative methods, the chapter explains some of the methods of data collection and data analysis in gender research which have been applied interdisciplinarily across social science and humanities studies. The last part of the chapter concentrates on practical knowledge about conducting gender research that is informed with feminist epistemologies and methodologies. Finally, through some exercises, the students are given the opportunity to design and outline a gender research plan with a socio-legal approach.

A law degree can provide the student with opportunities to put their knowledge of law and your legal skills into practice, and further develop skills that are key to legal practice. This is important if they want to pursue a career as a lawyer of course, but is of much wider value in developing specific skills to enhance employability more generally. This chapter explores the important legal skills-related extracurricular activities that are commonly available, considering the value of these programmes to the successful law student. It explains how these activities can further develop skills such as analysis and critical thinking, while also developing transferable skills such as professionalism, teamwork, presentation, and timeliness.

Abstract Chapter IV argues that Law and Literature is not solely a U.S. invention, but that any number of pre-1970 Law and Literature(s) preceded it, even if they were not called Law and Literature. The chapter moves from the discussion of individual legal subjectivities in Chapter II to the analysis of how group legal identities are produced, using cultural narrative studies but expanding on this method with an attention to affect, metaphor and media. The chapter demonstrates the specificity of individual Law and Literature(s) and recognizes Law and Literature’s capacity to make legal interventions using aesthetic means. Sections on the German territories in the Vormärz period, on African American literature and the arts of Black Lives Matter, and on pro- and anti-refugee art forms in Germany highlight specific uses of the aesthetic to query and critique the law.

This chapter chronicles the “transnationalization” of some of the law professoriate. It highlights the extent to which both faculty and students can study law in more than one country and legal system, transforming their knowledge of the world and their ability to be well-educated professionals by learning, teaching and developing transnational legal knowledge in different venues and with different teaching modalities. It also suggests that the globalization of legal education can occur domestically by study of international and transnational law in one’s own country, provided that classes, teaching materials, and modalities of education are diverse, both demographically and intellectually. Nevertheless, truly authentic transnational and comparative legal understanding should provide for some education to occur outside of one’s own home. The chapter reflects on the author’s own experiences of teaching in twenty-six countries, on five continents, and in several of the United States’ largest LLM programs. The chapter explains and illustrates how transnational legal education takes many forms, such as study abroad programs for students, domestic courses with diverse student bodies (including foreign graduate and undergraduate students, e.g. LLMs and JDs in the same class), faculty exchanges, international research projects and graduate law programs. Description of some programs are provided, such as Georgetown’s Center for Transnational Legal Studies (in London), INCAE (graduate program for legal studies in Central America), study abroad programs sponsored by more than one law school (e.g. in Argentina) and courses in transnational or globalized law in countries with many international (or “foreign” to the host country) students (e.g. NUS in Singapore and many others). The article concludes with a plea for contextually rich and professionally diverse transnational legal education. Transnational legal education is not only legal, it is cultural.

Full textAbstract:
By analysing selected case law, this chapter illuminates terminological implications of the courts’ interpretative methods. Emphasis is put on the rationales of last-instance courts, which detail reasons for the underlying decisions and are often steeped in linguistic contemplations. Demonstrating that the conceptualization of meaning in law has remained a focal concern in legal interpretation, it is examined to what extent courts deploy methods that are compatible with the principles underpinning the cognitive terminological approach. Indeed, courts resort to extralinguistic knowledge to determine the meaning of terms as, for instance, when ascertaining whether action figures are dolls or toys, thereby endorsing the perception of meaning as a dynamic process which involves conceptual knowledge. It is therefore argued that the application of terminology studies casts a different light on legal interpretation.

This chapter begins by identifying the reasons that make the study of business law an important aspect in the wider context of business. It identifies strategies and good practice that will help a student with their studies, a sample problem-type question and how to prepare a law-based answer. Business law is a distinct topic from other modules on accountancy, business, and management courses. A knowledge of the law cannot be bluffed—it is necessary to be aware of the relevant laws and think about business problems from a legal standpoint. This approach will ensure that legal questions are answered with reference to the law, which is crucial to being successful in the business law module.

Automatic Text Classification represents a great improvement in law area workflow, mainly in the migration of physical to electronic lawsuits. A systematic review of studies on text classification in law area from January 2017 up to February 2020 was conducted. The search strategy identified 20 studies, that were analyzed and compared. The review investigates from research questions: what are the state-of-art language models, its application of text classification in English and Brazilian Portuguese datasets from legal area, if there are available language models trained on Brazilian Portuguese, and datasets in Brazilian law area. It concludes that there are applications of automatic text classification in Brazil, although there is a gap on the use of language models when compared with English language dataset studies, also the importance of language model in domain pre-training to improve results, as well as there are two studies making available Brazilian Portuguese language models, and one introducing a dataset in Brazilian law area.

Full textAbstract:
The state is a social community that represents a multitude of individuals and the interactions between them. From this, we conclude that the state is a legal and a social being. Max Weber claimed that the assignment of sociology is “to understand social behavior through interpretation.” Both then and today, the subject of the sociology of law is social behavior. The legal order encompasses, analyzes, and acts on the actions performed by persons as citizens or bodies of the state who interpret their behavior. The state is a social reality within the legal order because all individuals belonging to the same state constitute a unity, i.e., one state’s population. The population is one of the three basic elements of the state. According to these same constituents, the sociology that studies the state is interested in analyzing that behavior. This paper will specifically analyze human behavior oriented towards the legal order, the normative character of the state, the problem of society in a globalized world, and the impact of globalization on the legal system through the movement of individuals in legal systems and societies.

The fourth industrial revolution, or informatics revolution, is internet-based with the processing of data and information, especially using artificial intelligence and blockchain. which has made data of great importance as a raw material for the development of the knowledge economy. The current challenges require finding a balance between the right to information and open data, which is promoted by technology, and the right on information and data because they are private, personal or confidential, protected by law

Full textAbstract:
Affirmative actions reflect the ideal of achieving equal opportunities and represent the realization of cultural transformations in order to reduce the effects of historically accumulated inequalities. Such actions are capableof implementing greater representation of minority groups in the most diverse domains of public and private activity. In the case of quotas instituted to guarantee minority access to higher education, the reservation of places is one of the forms of social justice that tries to guarantee a minimum level of education for the most disadvantaged, trying to compensate and equalize the opportunities for access to education. This research aimed to analyze the perception of students in the ISECENSA Law course about the affirmative action policy, with an emphasis on the quota modality that promotes the legal reserve of places for the so-called “minorities”. Therefore, the methodology used was qualiquantitative and had as its starting point the bibliographical review to situate the quota policy as an object in the field of socio-legal studies. Documentary analysis of laws on the subject was carried out, as well as field research, through which the questionnaire was used as a data collection instrument to verify the position of ISECENSA law students on the quota policy and to identify whether the students understand the meaning of the quota policy. Thus, 115 questionnaires were applied to students from the 1st to the 5th period of the Isecensa Law course and the data collected showed the students' concern with Social Justice, even with the initial lack of knowledge about the concept of “affirmative action”. In this way, it was possible to analyze the perception of law students at ISECENSA regarding the quota policy and also to promote awareness of the reasons and effects of the implementation of that policy. It is expected then, to contribute to the humanization of educational institutions by encouraging diversity in order to build a society that respects difference, seeking to achieve peace and equality

Result of a scientific initiation project (PROVIC), linked to the Law course of the educational institution ISECENSA, the study aimed to identify the lack of knowledge considered essential for the development of civil society and, given such result, provide the population with access to proposed knowledge. The Seminar took place on April 9, 2021. On the occasion, notions of rights as well as specific updates on the Statute of Children and Adolescents were shared with young people from the Teorema/UENF social entrance exam. The entiremethodology was organized and designed in such a way as to allow the updated information to reach those who, due to various circumstances, would not have access to it otherwise and, on the other hand, using the methods of the inverted classroom, we seek to provide students from the first periods of the Law course at ISECENSA, experiences so that the student could combine the theoretical material covered in the classroom with practical knowledge, teaching and guiding specific groups, through the presentation of seminars. The method chosen to carry out the project was the dialectic one, where prioritization in the construction of knowledge takes place through the relationship between the student with other students and with the world, in which teachers and students work together, reflect and develop content, making the more real and meaningful learning by developing and expanding multiple skills for everyone involved. As a method, dialectics represents reality in motion, going beyond appearances. Change becomes a possibility in the dialectical way of thinking through the overcoming of inequality in the production and distribution of the results of collective work. As a final result of the experience, the importance of disseminating updated legal information wascontacted so that we can obtain better reflections on the development of civil society

Full textAbstract:
The article discusses the theoretical and methodological problems of studying terrorism and the system of measures to counter it. Traditional methodological approaches have remained the important ways of organizing legal knowledge; they do not fully provide a comprehensive, integrated and systematic analysis of the extremely destructive manifestations of terrorism. Taking into account the implicitness of the methodology of positivist jurisprudence, which assigns a dominant role to the legislative sphere in the prevention of offenses, including crimes, the authors substantiate a synergetic approach. The latter, defining social systems as open rather than closed formations, contributes to a significant expansion of ideas about the negative impact of many factors (political, economic, socio-cultural ones, etc.) on the formation and development of terrorist ideas, views, goals and ways of their implementation. Russian and foreign legislation also notes a multifactorial set of reasons that contribute to the spread of ideology and the transformation of terrorist views and ideas in different states. The interdisciplinarity of synergetics, which studies the phenomenon (system) under consideration, should contribute to the development of a unified scientific view of the nature and essence of terrorism, which is necessary to improve rule-making and law enforcement in matters of global counterterrorism.
