Excerpt from Handbook of the Law of Partnership The aspect of the partnership relation nas undergone many chang es during the century now closing. These changes have been traced and explained in the text, while. In the notes, the reader has been referred to the leading cases and the best text writers, so that he may, by following the changing methods of interpretation as they appear in the authorities, learn not only what the law of partnership now is, but how it came to have its present status. There has been no attempt to make the citation of cases exhaustive upon well-estab lished propositions. But it is by no means meager. Nearly five thou sand cases being referred to in different parts of the work. Great pains has been taken in the citation of these cases to have them each exactly support the proposition to which it is cited. Long lists of cases have been avoided, and, as far as possible in a one-volume work on so extensive a subject, the cases have been classified in the notes and the specific points decided have been stated. It is believed that all the leading American and English cases are included. In citing statutes throughout the book, the last general revision in the several states has in each case been consulted.

Jewish copyright law is a rich body of jurisprudence that developed in parallel with modern copyright laws and the book privileges that preceded them. Jewish copyright law owes its origins to a reprinting ban that the Rome rabbinic court issued for three books of Hebrew grammar in 1518. It continues to be applied today, notably in a rabbinic ruling outlawing pirated software, issued at Microsoft's request. In From Maimonides to Microsoft, Professor Netanel traces the historical development of Jewish copyright law by comparing rabbinic reprinting bans with secular and papal book privileges and by relaying the stories of dramatic disputes among publishers of books of Jewish learning and liturgy.. He describes each dispute in its historical context and examines the rabbinic rulings that sought to resolve it. Remarkably, the rabbinic reprinting bans and copyright rulings address some of the same issues that animate copyright jurisprudence today: Is copyright a property right or just a right to receive fair compensation? How long should copyrights last? What purposes does copyright serve? While Jewish copyright law has borrowed from its secular law counterpart at key junctures, it fashions strikingly different answers to those key questions. The story of Jewish copyright law also intertwines with the history of the Jewish book trade and with steadfast efforts of rabbinic leaders to maintain their authority to regulate that trade in the face of the dramatic erosion of Jewish communal autonomy in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This book will thus be of considerable interest to students of Jewish law and history as well as copyright scholars and practitioners.

Excerpt from Handbook of the Law of Banks and Banking The object of this book is to present the law of the subject in brief compass, in accordance with the plan of the Hornbook Series. The author has had in view, however, that the sub ject is one that concerns rather practitioners than law stu dents, and for this reason he has covered many questions in the text and notes that might have been omitted, had the book been intended primarily for law students, and he nas made a fuller citation of the decisions than he would other wise have done. The fundamental part of the law of banks and banking relates to the various transactions between banks and bankers and those dealing with them. The author has not entered upon the field of corporation law, except so far as the law of banking corporations seemed to require special discussion, and he has not dealt with the varying statutory provisions of the different states respecting banking corpora tions; but he has endeavored to cover the field of national banks and the National Bank Act, so far as it is affected by the decisions. The National Bank Act and other provisions of the federal statutes relating to national banks are printed in an Appendix, with historical and explanatory notes pre pared by the editorial staff of the publishers. When treating of questions concerning checks and other negotiable instru ments, the author has referred to the Negotiable Instruments Law, and has pointed out the not infrequent changes intro duced by it.

Africa is the emerging continent of the twenty-first century and will continue to play a major role in the world politics and trade. At the center of the African experience is customary law, which remains one of the most important and quintessential forms of legal, political, and social organization and regulation in the sub-Saharan landscape. Using qualitative and quantitative data, Casper Njuguna, sets a framework for understanding the hybrid nature of this law and creates an appropriate new moniker for it—Neo-Autogenous Sub-Saharan Law (NAS law). This systematic and empirical analysis addresses philosophical issues like human rights, property rights, women’s rights, individual rights and freedoms, family relations, social structures, and political loyalties, which span beyond Africa and African scholars.

"In this completely revised second edition, Gostin analyzes the major health threats of our times, from emerging infectious diseases (e.g., SARS and pandemic influenza) to bioterrorism (e.g., the deliberate release of anthrax and smallpox) to chronic diseases caused by overweight and obesity. By analyzing transnational law, Gostin shows how public health law transcends national borders in areas ranging from infectious disease and tobacco use to world trade and access to essential medicines. Public Health Law creates an intellectual framework for the modern field of public health and supports that framework with illustrations of the intellectual, scientific, political, and ethical issues involved. In proposing innovative solutions for the future of the public's health, Gostin's essential study provides a blueprint for coming public and political debates about this vital and burgeoning field."--BOOK JACKET.

Following the first volume of the Czech (& Central European) Yearbook of Arbitration (CYArb), the second volume of CYArb thematically concurs that the points of friction between arbitration, as an alternative dispute resolution mechanism are the freedom parties have in setting up the methods and mechanisms for the dispute settlement, and the state organized court proceedings with its obligatory jurisdiction and strict rules. The state organized court proceedings guarantee the firm borders and equality of means regarding the protection of the fundamental rights of the parties during the proceedings. The primary focus of CYArb is the issue of autonomy throughout the arbitration process. The principle of autonomy represents the backbone of arbitration as the ADR mechanism. It provides to the parties the necessary freedom to stipulate the adequate method for the solution of the dispute. On the other hand, the autonomous approach of the parties creates an informal relationship among the subjects involved in dispute resolution. The informality provides room for the autonomy of the arbitrators or that of the arbitral tribunal, be it in ad hoc or institutional proceedings on how to advance the dispute. The CYArb project aims to highlight the (potential) pitfalls of each of the categories of the autonomous parties present during the various types of arbitral proceedings in order to analyze the role of autonomy as a leading principle in the ADR mechanisms in its mutual interaction. The topic therefore provides a wide spectrum of interesting issues to be addressed from the practice and academic points of view, particularly with regard to the comparison of the specific national and international approaches of the permanent arbitral courts. The project concept and editors are drawn from Czech Yearbook of International Law – CYIL. The ideological similarity between CYIL and CYArb is primarily reflected in its concept. The third volume of CYIL is in preparation and will be published by JURIS. The CYArb annual volume will be published exclusively in English with abstracts of the articles provided in Czech/Slovak, French, German, Polish, Russian and Spanish. The website dedicated to the project, www.czechyearbook.org is operational in a total of 16 languages. A vital part of the project is the cooperation with leading figures and institutes in the field. In the Czech Republic, endeavor has the cooperation of the particular departments of the following institutions: – University of West Bohemia in Pilsen, Faculty of Law, Department of International Law & Department of Constitutional Law – Masaryk University in Brno, Faculty of Law, Department of International and European Law – VŠB – TU Ostrava, Faculty of Economics, Department of Law – Institute of State and Law, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic In the Slovak Republic: – Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice, Faculty of Law, Department of Commercial Law Non-academic institutions participating in the CYArb Project: – International Arbitral Centre of the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber, Vienna. – Court of International Commercial Arbitration attached to the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Romania, Bucharest. – Arbitration Court attached to the Hungarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Budapest – Arbitration Court attached to the Economic Chamberof the Czech Republic and Agricultural Chamber of the Czech Republic, Prague – Arbitration Court attached to the Czech-Moravian Commodity Exchange Kladno (Czech Republic) – ICC National Committee Czech Republic – The Court of Arbitration at the Polish Chamber of Commerce in Warsaw
