AbstractFrom its very inception modern “law and literature” scholarship has exhibited at least as much interest in what happens in the classroom as it has in what happens in the courtroom. Its principal ambition is educative, its primary audience student. In a strategic sense it hopes that the deployment of literary texts might enhance a law student’s appreciation of the human dimension of legal practice. The first part of this article will set the jurisprudential context, taking a closer look at the evolving legal regulation of “revenge porn,” as well as the critical debate which this regulation has stimulated. The second will then consider the dramatic presentation of the same issues and arguments in Placey’s play. According to Placey, any “time we write a script, we’re hoping in some way people will listen, that our words might have an effect, that they might shake people.”

This paper explores and recognizes common points of intersection of law and literature. Different literary texts have legal language, court scenes, cross examinations, lawyers, witnesses, judge, and audience. The main focus of this paper is to identify such events from literary texts and also to present instances that people take into the courts from literary texts. Law and literature originate and develop, after all, from the same culture and society. Humanities and social sciences are common grounds of origin and development of law and literature. They are related with each other. They do have correlation on the basis of culture, social norms and values, and humanities. In this paper, they discussed on the grounds of cognitive and behaviouristic aspects of human life.

This chapter develops a number of themes introduced in the previous chapter, most obviously those which touch on contemporary expressions of child-abuse. The broader focus of the chapter is on the familiar, and contentious, issue of pornography and its legal regulation. More particularly, though, it is concerned with the challenges presented by the internet ‘age’. And more closely still with cultural and legal responses to what has become know, itself contentiously, as ‘revenge porn’. The play upon which the chapter focuses is Evan Placey’s Girls Like That. The fact that Placey wrote his play for a student audience reinvests the educative capacity of modern theatre, whilst also inviting his audience to contemplate, once again, the place of empathy and compassion in (legal) education.

Globalization Of Law

The globalization of law and literature has trained attention on the historical role played by law in institutions like slavery and colonization, at the same time prompting questions about the neoimperial effects of an array of contemporary legal constructs and practices. These emphases have often created the presumption that law should foremost be an object of critique, and many widely read and taught literary texts have reinforced that suspicion. This chapter reads M. NourbeSe Philio’s Zong!, a long poem that contends with the legal system’s facilitation of the slave trade, to contend with the historical violence licensed by law. Yet the status of law under globalization is more complicated, and this chapter also analyzes law as a networked, dispersed phenomenon that can be both capacitating and ripe for manipulation. Nuruddin Farah’s novel Gifts illustrates many of these alternate dimensions of law and legality in an increasingly enmeshed, interdependent world.

In the context of the problem of increasing formalism of modern law, the article analyzes the conditions by which a formally defined by its nature law acquires a conceptual nature, that is, a certain set of content characteristics that give legal regulation meaning and set it a certain logic. The author substantiates the relationship between the conceptual and value system of legal consciousness, which allows us to identify as determinants of the conceptuality of law and other elements of the legal system of society semantic legal values.

Purpose. In the context of the development of digital technologies, the issue of the existence and legal regulation of digital of financial assets is being updated. In modern legal practice, there is no uniformity in the terminology of these relations, so it is especially important to consider the possibility of using different terms from digital currency to digital rights. The article analyzes various approaches to defining the concept of cryptocurrency offered by specialists working not only in the field of law, but also in economics, since it is important to consider the possibility of reflecting digital assets in accounting. In the course of the research, both General scientific and private scientific methods were used: scientific abstraction, system, logical, analysis and synthesis, comparative legal and formal legal. Conclusions are made that: 1) as a result of numerous discussions about the legal regulation of digital of financial assets, the state has decided on the terminology in these relations; 2) according to the author, the most successful term is the concept of “digital financial assets”, since the term “asset” is used in russian legislation, in particular investment and tax; 3) russian legal practice has used the experience of foreign countries when making changes to existing legislation, in particular in civil, expanding the list of objects of civil legal relations. Scientific and practical significance. This research allows us to critically understand the existing problems of cryptocurrency regulation, as well as contributes to the development of theoretical directions on this topic and the creation of educational materials dedicated to the digital economy.

The article explores the relationship between "source of law" and "form of law." It is noted that in modern legal science there is no single approach to this problem. The "ideological" sources of law, which include legal consciousness and legal ideology, are analyzed. It is emphasized that this source of law has not been sufficiently researched. It is concluded that legal awareness and legal ideology are the intellectual basis of the law, capable of streamlining relations between the subjects of law and the role of such phenomena of law as legal awareness, legal culture and the legal ideology is very significant, as they, reflecting spiritual values, are an integral criterion of the legal progress of society and determine the vector of social development. Ideological sources of law are at the heart of legal practice, defining the public importance and expediency of its legal regulation.

Do So

This article aims to reinvigorate the debate over the nature and value of the claim that children have children’s rights. Whilst the language of rights and children’s rights continues to be widely employed, and even relied upon, in many situations involving the legal regulation of children we lack strong child-centred evidence that it is better to regulate children through the lens of children’s rights, rather than their ‘best interests’ or in terms of duties owed to them. My argument proceeds in four stages. First, I distinguish between rights for children and children’s rights. Understood in the sense of fundamental human rights, children are plainly rights-holders. The critical debate relates to children’s rights. Secondly, I argue that the expressive and procedural reasons for affirming that children hold children’s rights are contingent upon improved outcomes. Thirdly, I contend that we do not currently have a child-centred theory of children’s rights that improves, or increases the likelihood of improved outcomes in legal practice. This is not a claim that children do not have children’s rights. My argument critiques the current potential of both individual children’s rights and a rights-based framework of reasoning to improve outcomes for children. Finally, I argue that without a theory of children’s rights, we currently have no good evidence that it benefits children to think of them in terms of children’s rights in law. This is an optimistic conclusion as it suggests that with greater attention on making decision-making truly child-centred, or explicitly recognizing the inability to do so, the purposes for which we want to believe that children have children’s rights might be better achieved than they are at present.
