Fighting for Justice
This book provides a unique oversight of judges’ work and contemporary legal challenges in Common Law and Civil Law countries, based on the legal practice and testimonies of senior members of the judiciary speaking up for justice and the law. This book aims at contributing to restoring trust in judges as custodians of the law and justice, via a comparison between Civil and Common Law countries. In this book, judges of Common Law and Civil Law countries speak up for justice and the law in one powerful voice.
The Structure of Pluralism
Pluralism proceeds from the observation that many associations in liberal democracies claim to possess, and attempt to exercise, a measure of legitimate authority over their members. They assert that this authority does not derive from the magnanimity of a liberal and tolerant state but is grounded, rather, on the common practices and aspirations of those individuals who choose to take part in a common endeavor. As an account of the authority of associations, pluralism is distinct from other attempts to accommodate groups like multiculturalism, subsidiarity, corporatism, and associational democracy. It is consistent with the explanation of legal authority proposed by contemporary legal posit...

Mixed Jurisdictions Worldwide
Approximately 150 million people worldwide live in legal systems in which there is both a common law and a civil law content, yet there has been little comparative study of the experience of these 'mixed jurisdictions'. Here, the author considers these jurisdictions in a comparative framework, which includes their founding and raisons d'être, as well as the cultural divisions of the jurists and the evolutionary tendencies of their common and civil law components. In addition, he examines the internal contradictions between Anglo-American judicial institutions, methodologies and procedures, and the substantive civil law. The book argues that the legal systems of such far-flung and diverse cultures as the Philippines, Quebec, Scotland and South Africa have many unique and fruitful points of comparison. The conclusion is that these mixed jurisdictions form a closely related 'Third Legal Family' with cohesive traits and tendencies.

Puerto Rico under Colonial Rule
Puerto Rico, one of the last and most populated colonial territories in the world, occupies a relatively unique position. Its lengthy interaction with the United States has resulted in the long-term acquisition of expanded legal rights and relative political stability. At the same time, that interaction has simultaneously seen political intolerance and the denial of basic rights, particularly toward those who have challenged colonialism. In Puerto Rico under Colonial Rule, academics and intellectuals from the fields of political science, history, sociology, and law examine three themes: evidence of state-sponsored political persecution in the twentieth century, contemporary issues, and the case of Vieques.

Estudios de Derecho Civil en Homenaje al Profesor Joaquín José Rams Albesa
Cada uno de los que hemos podido compartir con el profesor Rams un trabajo de investigación sabemos lo importante que es para él esta vocación de la Universidad, la vocación de investigar y enseñar, de aprender y dar, de estudiar e iniciar. Y es que resulta complicado encontrar a alguien que ame su trabajo y que el mismo se manifieste como un punto de conexión sobre el que crear y consolidar auténticas relaciones de amistad. Cualquier tema jurídico se puede tratar en cualquier momento y lugar, fuera del formalismo y la jerarquía maestro-discípulo. De un Catedrático de la Complutense amigo entrañable de Joaquín Rams desde hace casi treinta años hemos leído que nuestro homenajea...
