The Plurality and Synergies of Legal Traditions in International Arbitration
The cultural diversity characterizing international arbitration today is as much a source of enrichment as it is sometimes a source of practical difficulties affecting both the arbitration procedure and the application of substantive law. Consequently, it is becoming clearer that the critical project for international arbitration in the immediate future will be how to best answer the fundamental question of cultural pluralism. This book presents an informative and well-argued discussion on many aspects of international arbitration, clarifying the main procedural and substantive similarities and differences between different legal systems around the world, focusing not only on common and civi...
Navigating the Jungle
For much of our history, legal scholars focused predominantly on the law’s implications for human beings, while ignoring how the law influences animal welfare. Since the 1970s, however, there has been a steep increase in animal advocates’ use of the courts. Animal law has blossomed into a vibrant academic discipline, with a rich literature that examines how the law affects animal welfare and the ability of humans to advocate on behalf of nonhuman animals. But most animal law literature tends to be doctrinally-based or normative. There has been little empirical study of the outcomes of animal law cases and there has been very little attention paid to the political influences of these outcomes. This book fills the gap in animal law literature. This is the first empirically-based analysis of animal law that emphasizes the political forces that shape animal law outcomes.
Pet Politics
Although scholars in the disciplines of law, psychology, philosophy, and sociology have published a considerable number of prescriptive, normative, and theoretical studies of animals in society, Pet Politics presents the first study of the development of companion animal or pet law and policy in Canada and the United States by political scientists. The authors examine how people and governments classify three species of pets or companion animals-cats, dogs, and horses-for various degrees of legal protection. They then detail how interest groups shape the agenda for companion animal legislation and regulation, and the legislative and administrative formulation of anticruelty, kennel licensing...
Products Liability Defenses
The latest update to DRI's seminal publication, Product Liability Defenses, is a concise, practice-oriented compilation and discussion of the law of product liability and the various defenses that can be raised to products actions in each state and other jurisdictions. Each chapter is written by top lawyers with deep experience defending product liability actions. The compendium describes and analyzes the various statutes and judicial decisions that govern product liability in each jurisdiction. In addition to traditional product liability defenses, the book analyzes such timely topics as qualification of expert witnesses, spoliation of evidence, joint liability and punitive damages, the impact of the Third Restatement of Torts; Products Liability, and matters of pleading and procedure. As with previous editions, the 2014 edition of the compendium is an indispensable companion for any lawyer called upon to defend a product liability action. It is an especially valuable reference for those representing manufacturers whose products are distributed in many states and foreign nations.

Haftung und Verhalten
Okonomische Modelle zur Untersuchung des Rechts beruhten lange weitestgehend unreflektiert auf der homo oeconomicus -Annahme. Verhaltenswissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zeigen jedoch, dass Menschen ihre Entscheidungen systematisch anders treffen als der homo oeconomicus. Sie sind insbesondere lediglich begrenzt rational und haben komplexe Praferenzen. Da rechtliche Regelungen in einem konkreten sozialen Kontext wirken, durfen diese Erkenntnisse nicht unberucksichtigt bleiben. Stefan Korch stellt wesentliche systematische Abweichungen von der Rationalverhaltensannahme vor und erortert, welche Auswirkungen die Auflosung der Annahme auf die okonomische Theorie des Rechts hat (Behavioral Law and Economics). Als Untersuchungsgegenstand dient dabei das Haftungsrecht, weil sich menschliche Verhaltensweisen wie unrealistischer Optimismus und Selbstuberschatzung sowie komplexe Praferenzen darauf besonders auswirken.
