Philosophers have explored the varying temporalities that different legal systems and techniques utilize or construct. Recently, a lively literature on law, space, and regulation has also flourished, mainly among geographers and urban studies scholars. While legal temporalities and legal spaces or spatializations are often discussed separately, in large part due to disciplinary barriers, this chapter shows that it is more appropriate to think about the “spacetime” of law and legal processes rather than engage only with either temporality or space.

This collection focuses on difficult memories and diverse identities related to conflicts and localized politics of memories. The contemporary and history-oriented case studies discuss politicized memories and pasts, the frictions of justice and reconciliation, and the diversity and fragmentation of difficult memories. The collection brings together methodological discussions from oral history research, cultural memory studies and the study of contemporary protest movements. The politicization of memories is analyzed in various contexts, ranging from everyday interaction and diverse cultural representations to politics of the archive and politics as legal processes. The politicization of memories takes place on multiple analytical levels: those inherent to the sources; the ways in which the collections are utilized, archived, or presented; and in the re-evaluation of existing research.

In the center of the article author’s attention is the book “Twilight of Europe” by G. A. Landau, which is sometimes regarded as direct predecessor of O. Spengler’s works. The article is devoted to G. A. Landau’s views on the nature of political, social, and legal processes in Europe after the First World War. The special attention is paid to the circumstances that Landau believed to be the signs of European civilization ill-being: the collapse of empires, nationalism, and the inclusion of the masses in the political life. Accordingly, the emphasis is placed on Landau’s evaluation of such concepts as “militarism”, “empire”, “nation”, etc.

Public trust in science is eroding because of a number of conflicts. In the sphere of climate science and of nutrition science, a basic methodological difference between scientists has escalated into what can be called wars. These wars are the result of influences such as personalities of leading scientists and powerful commercial and political interests. The wars have escalated to such an extent that leading scientists are being threatened with legal action and disciplinary procedures for advocating divergent views. These legal processes are not primarily about the procedural aspects of their actions, but are couched as being ‘about the science’. This means that legal processes are being used to ‘settle’ the science – something that the law has never been required to do. This new role for law has implications for legal education and requires that lawyers become more capable to understand empirical research.

The first chapter places the book in its historical, theoretical and cultural setting, exploring the background against which juvenile justice reform occurred in Scotland and placing this in the wider context of exchange between reformers on the international front. The aim here is to explain the way in which children evolved as a distinctive group in terms of criminalisation, providing a fuller understanding of the legal processes of reform analysed in the book.

Chapter Seven focuses on Chinua Achebe’s novel A Man of the People. In particular the chapter examines Achebe’s presentation of political disorder through scenes in which the law is suspended or displaced. The chapter argues that through these scenes Achebe points up the incoherence of the inheritance of colonialism, not least indirect rule, and the inevitability of the imposition of new states of exception as a response to this incoherence. Achebe directs our attention to the various ways in which the law and legal processes are sidestepped, dissipated and conflated in an era of political corruption through scenes of violence that stand in for, but are markedly not, the legal process of the trial. The chapter’s discussion is informed by reference to contemporary political and economic contexts.

The article is devoted to the consideration of the characteristics of one of the most important means of ensuring the procedural order – procedural responsibility. The potential of this type of legal responsibility is largely due to the quality of its normative legal consolidation. In solving this problem, it is necessary to develop answers to a number of interrelated questions, including the establishment of its limits. Not only the effectiveness/ineffectiveness of the application of procedural liability measures, but also the legality of state-compulsory influence in the course of the relevant legal processes depends on its qualitative resolution. In the course of the practical solution of the problem of establishing the limits of procedural responsibility, it is necessary to take into account their species classification, which will help in choosing its optimal boundaries. The limits of procedural responsibility are determined by the legislator through the use of appropriate criteria. They are factors external to the procedural responsibility itself, by means of which the volume of state-compulsory influence applied to the subjects who committed procedural offenses is determined. They must include in their unity both legal imperatives and moral requirements. The main attention is paid to the means that, according to the author, should be used in the legislative consolidation of the limits of procedural responsibility. It should be borne in mind that they differ in certain dynamics. This property allows you to react to changes in the course of dispatch of the corresponding types of legal processes.
