Charting the Divide Between Common and Civil Law
What does it mean when civil lawyers and common lawyers think differently?

Division of Power: Continuity and Change
The separation of powers doctrine is undoubtedly one of the key principles of contemporary constitutionalism. Despite this, it has not been framed into a single, homogeneous, and thus universal form. The abundance of approaches and nuances found in legal and political doctrine makes it an extremely labile and meandering concept, which can take on a variety of shapes. Its legislative articulation is by no means uniform, and thus reproducible, either. The separation of powers in constitutional law is therefore expressed in a broad array of formulas, sometimes explicitly, sometimes implicitly. In addition, it can take on a classic, almost model form, or it can be shaped in a significantly alter...
Eva Braun
This is the most complete and best documented biography ever published of the woman who was Adolf Hitler's companion from 1933 until their marriage and suicide twelve years later in Berlin in April 1945. Lawyer, professor, and scholar Thomas Lundmark documents and discusses crucial facts he has discovered about Eva Braun which were not known to previous biographers, such as Eva's father's problems with alcohol, her parents' divorce, her refusals to help close relatives and children, her personal involvement in anti-Semitic pogroms, and her abuse of other people. This book also reveals and relates crucial facts about her medical condition hitherto unknown to biographers, including the fact that Eva suffered from recurring bouts of depression, likely triggered (or worsened) by her Mayer Rokitansky Syndrome, MRKH, a congenital under-development of her vagina and uterus. Brought now to light, these facts force us to re-assess Eva's relationship to Hitler and her unhappy position in Adolf Hitler's gilded cage.
Common Law and Modern Society
Law is a lasting social institution, but it must also be responsive to change. In this volume Mary Arden draws upon her experience to examine how judge-made law adapts to the evolving demands of society, how law reform works in practice, and the future of the judiciary in our diverse modern culture.
