Legal Conventionalism
The concept of convention has been used in different fields and from different perspectives to account for important social phenomena, and the legal sphere is no exception. Rather, reflection on whether the legal phenomenon is based on a convention and, if so, what kind of convention is involved, has become a recurring issue in contemporary legal theory. In this book, some of the foremost specialists in the field make significant contributions to this debate. In the first part, the concept of convention is analysed. The second part reflects on whether the rule of recognition postulated by Hart can be understood as a convention and discusses its potential and limitations in order to explain the institutional and normative character of law. Lastly, the third part critically examines the relations between conventionalism and legal interpretation. Given the content and quality of the contributions, the book is of interest to those wanting to understand the current state of the art in legal conventionalism as well as those wanting to deepen their knowledge about these questions.
Interpretivism and the Limits of Law
What does it mean to understand the law? This challenging book discusses whether and how understanding the law is qualitatively different from understanding a different, non-legal text or linguistic utterance, and whether knowledge of a language is sufficient to understand legal content in that language.
Facing Judicial Discretion
In response to ETA's 1997 kidnappings and murders thousands of Spaniards attended mass demonstrations to express their contempt for violence as a means of political pressure. The demand that public authorities prosecute and condemn those who directly or indirectly support ETA and its terrorist attacks was one of the most prevalent slogans in the marches. Indeed, the social response was aimed not only against the terrorist group, but also against Herri Batasuna (HB), the political party that openly endorse ETA's armed actions in the Basque Country. From the legal point of view, it is interesting to examine what it is citizens are requesting from the government in the above-mentioned case. How...
Philosophical Foundations of Precedent
Philosophical Foundations of Precedent offers a broad, deep, and diverse range of philosophical investigations of the role of precedent in law, adjudication, and morality. The forty chapters present the work of a large and inclusive group of authors which comprises of well-established leaders in the discipline and new voices in legal philosophy. The magnitude of the resulting project is extraordinary, presenting a diverse array of innovative and creative philosophical investigations of the practice of adhering to past decisions, in law and allied fields of practical reasoning. And by the same token, the contributions elucidate the reasons that courts and other decision-makers may have for departing from what has been done before. The phenomena under investigation include the law and practice of common law and civil jurisdictions around the world. In addition to its fundamental relevance to common law jurisdictions, this work will be of broad and significant interest to theoretically minded audiences in continental Europe, Latin America, and Asia because it involves an extensive study of practices of precedent in civil law systems as well as common law systems.
Jurisdicción y teoría del sistema jurídico
Los trabajos de Juan Ruiz Manero, además de haber ejercido una extraordinaria influencia en la filosofía del Derecho, han permitido replantear problemas usualmente percibidos como complejos y desordenados, logrando una comprensión simple e integrada de los mismos. Sus aportes a la teoría de las normas, de los sistemas jurídicos, del razonamiento jurídico, entre otros, han permitido iniciar y enriquecer innumerables discusiones iusfilosóficas actuales. El presente libro reúne las treinta ponencias presentadas en el Seminario Internacional Jurisdicción y Teoría del Sistema Jurídico, en homenaje al profesor Juan Ruiz Manero, celebrado en marzo del 2022 en la Universidad de Alicante. ...
Amending America's Unwritten Constitution
It is well known that the US Constitution has been amended twenty-seven times since its creation in 1787, but that number does not reflect the true extent of constitutional change in America. Although the Constitution is globally recognized as a written text, it consists also of unwritten rules and principles that are just as important, such as precedents, customs, traditions, norms, presuppositions, and more. These, too, have been amended, but how does that process work? In this book, leading scholars of law, history, philosophy, and political science consider the many theoretical, conceptual, and practical dimensions of what it means to amend America's 'unwritten Constitution': how to change the rules, who may legitimately do it, why leaders may find it politically expedient to enact written instead of unwritten amendments, and whether anything is lost by changing the constitution without a codified constitutional amendment.
PROCESSO E LIBERDADE
No curso do último ano de mandato da primeira Diretoria da Associação Brasileira de Direito Processual (ABDPro), um pequeno grupo de processualistas a ela filiados resolveu coordenar uma coletânea de estudos em homenagem ao seu primeiro presidente, Eduardo José da Fonseca Costa, ou, simplesmente, EDUARDO COSTA, como a mim me parece mais emblemático.
The Catalan Process
Aquest llibre vol ajudar al lector a entendre i interpretar els esdeveniments polítics de la història recent de Catalunya. El llibre també mostra que el procés té una pertinència política que va més enllà del context espanyol català i es refereix a punts clau pel que fa a la interacció de democràcia, sobirania i estatisme al segle XXI.
El concepto de «poder constituyente»
¿De qué hablamos cuando hablamos de "poder constituyente"? ¿Cuáles son las condiciones necesarias y suficientes que permiten identificar a ciertos fenómenos sociales y políticos como instancias de "poder constituyente"? ¿Qué lugar tiene el concepto de "poder constituyente" dentro de la explicación del origen y el fundamento de los ordenamientos jurídicos? Estas son algunas de las preguntas básicas que, en el presente estudio, se intentarán responder mediante el análisis del concepto de "poder constituyente" en clave jurídica y el uso de varios instrumentos de la filosofía analítica receptados por la teoría del derecho. En los tres capítulos que conforman este libro se procederá a: i) una labor de desambiguación del significado de la expresión "poder constituyente"; ii) una labor de clarificación respecto de cómo se encuentra construido el concepto de "poder constituyente" relevante para el derecho; y iii) una labor conectiva, que supone relacionar o conectar el concepto de "poder constituyente" con otros conceptos utilizados dentro de la teoría jurídica para explicar el origen y el fundamento del derecho de los Estados.
Lawfare — Judicial Warfare in Spain
For centuries, the Spanish state has proved to be an expert system for repressing political dissent and any threat that could jeopardize the maintenance of the status quo. It has done so using all the institutions and all the areas of power that were necessary, for the end has always justified the means. Carles Mundo, Catalan Minister of Justice, 2016-2017. There is no book in Spain that talks about lawfare. Nor is there a book that deals with the system of judicial repression of political dissidence deployed by the Franco regime. Nor is there a book that denounces the judicial system inherited from the dictatorial regime and that was later embodied in the 1978 Constitution. Lawfare (the com...
