The Faces of Virtue in Law
This book gathers together leading voices in virtue theory—an increasingly influential aspect of legal theory in the 21st century—to take stock of virtue jurisprudence’s evolution and suggest ways in which this approach can be further developed. The contributions address the three main axes along which virtue jurisprudence has unfolded in the past decades: the quest to provide a suitable virtue-based foundation for the law (in general) or for some aspects of it (in particular, but not exclusively, criminal law); the investigation of the role played by character traits in legal decision-making; and the investigation of how the law can be part of a virtuous life. As will become apparent ...
The Anxiety of the Jurist
The contributions in this volume pay homage to Zenon Bańkowski, with a focus on problems concerning law’s normalization and the revitalizing force of anxiety. Ranging from political critique to methodological issues and from the role of human rights in development to the role of parables and analogy in legal reasoning, the contributions themselves are testament to the richness of Bańkowski’s scholarship, as well as to the applicability of his core ideas to a wide range of issues. Divided into five parts, the book focuses on the role and methods of the jurist; conceptions of legality and the experience of living under rules; jurisprudential issues affecting exchange and the market; and the burden and methods of legal judgement. It also includes Bańkowski’s 2011 valedictory lecture and a bibliography of his work. Comprising all original contributions, the contributors represent a balance of established, leading figures and younger, emerging scholars in the field of legal and social theory.
Being Apart from Reasons
Being Apart from Reasons deals with the question of how we should go about using reasons to decide what to do. More particularly, the book presents objections to the most common response given by contemporary legal and political theorists to the moral complexity of decision-making in modern societies, namely: the attempt to release public agents from their argumentative burden by insulating a particular set of reasons from the general pool of reasons and assigning the former systematic priority over all other reasons. That strategy is apparent both in Rawls’ claim that reasons concerning the right are systematically prior to reasons concerning the good and in Raz’s claim that pre-emptive...
The Public in Law
Bringing together established academics and new researchers, the chapters in this collection interrogate the operation of 'the public' in a range of different legal, illegal and alegal spaces. The key question which frames the contributions is whether and in what manner 'the public' operates as an interface between law and society, allowing the interests and opinions of the population at large to be represented and reflected in legal discourse, such that collectively generated imperatives may be imposed upon political and economic actors. Multi-disciplinary in its approach, the volume reflects an understanding that there is more to the role of 'the public' in relation to law than the conventional demarcation of the field of 'public law' and that this relationship is open to comment from a wide range of actors.
Direito restituitório
As fontes restituitórias, ou quase-contratos, foram reguladas pelo Código Civil de 2002 de forma até então inédita no Direito brasileiro, e se encontram no Título VII do Livros das Obrigações. Nesse título, apenas a promessa de recompensa (arts. 854 a 860) não pode ser considerada quase-contrato. Após breve histórico sobre o Direito Restituitório, o autor analisa, artigo por artigo, os institutos da gestão de negócios, do pagamento indevido e do enriquecimento sem causa (arts. 861 a 886). Destaca, principalmente, o impacto da introdução de uma regulamentação própria para o enriquecimento sem causa no Direito brasileiro.
Body Law and the Body of Law
For some legal philosophers, if a law is procedurally correct, enacted in ways constitutionally recognised and agreed upon, then the content is of no significance. It is a “good” law, no matter what it does or justifies. The question of one's consent or opposition to any particular law is extraneous to the legality and is regarded merely as a political matter. The assumption is that a certain procedure and logic in law creation has taken place, and the law can be altered by a change in political leaders in a subsequent political election. However, this view and assumption obscure an uncomfortable fact. Some laws can be “bad” or “immoral.” Critical legal theory suggests that there...
Enriquecimento Sem Causa e Sua Aplicação aos Bens Digitais
O amadurecimento teórico da doutrina especializada em temas ligados ao lucro da intervenção conduziu à ampliação do espectro de situações nas quais a ideia de locupletamento independe de qualquer visualização dos reflexos gerados para a vítima, sendo despicienda a análise do dano. Em regra, a exploração injusta de patrimônio alheio será o fato gerador de enriquecimento que se buscará restituir, transpondo o que se auferiu da esfera patrimonial do ofensor para a esfera patrimonial daquele que teve seu patrimônio explorado sem adequado lastro em fonte obrigacional. Em paralelo, nada impedirá, segundo já sinalizam precedentes jurisprudenciais emblemáticos, que se busque, ta...

Cratonic Basin Formation
Cratonic basins are large, distinctive features of the continental crust. They are preferentially developed on thick continental lithosphere, are typically sub-circular in shape and subside over periods of hundreds of millions of years. They are also endowed with significant resources. However, in spite of their location in continental interiors and often well-known geology, the subsidence driving mechanism and tectonic setting of these basins remains controversial. This volume presents both lithospheric and basin scale datasets acquired specifically to interrogate the tectonic process of cratonic basin formation. Focused on the Silurian to Triassic Parnaíba cratonic basin of Brazil, the papers discuss the results of a multidisciplinary basin analysis project comprising new geophysical, geological and geochemical data. This unique dataset enables the characterization of the lithospheric crust and mantle beneath the Parnaíba Basin, constrains the detailed evolution of the basin itself, and enables comparisons with cratonic basins globally. Several convergent themes emerge providing new and powerful constraints for models of the driving mechanisms of these enigmatic basins.
50 anos da Teoria Geral do Processo no Brasil
Quando ainda estava na faculdade – e talvez por um arroubo juvenil de quem apenas estava iniciando seus estudos de direito processual –, disse ao meu chefe de estágio que a teoria geral do processo precisava ser totalmente revista. Meu chefe, o hoje consagrado processualista Ricardo Alexandre da Silva – talvez por sua excessiva cordialidade ou por não querer me desincentivar –, não questionou a afirmação. Com seu profundo conhecimento de direito processual teria sido fácil desconstruir a intuição pouco embasada de um jovem estudante.
