Integrated Study

The recent trend towards the socialisation of legal studies has not unnaturally caused a good deal of confusion and disagreement on the role of jurisprudence. However, since the law is centred on dispute and argument, there can be little real objection to the extension of the process to the philosophy of law. Still it would be difficult to devise a less immediately appealing way of re-establishing and reviving the subject of jurisprudence than another dose of the schools, or another tendentious review of contemporary exponents. My excuses for doing just that are not even particularly novel—an appreciation of the importance of the pressures towards an empirical approach to law and legal studies, and the usual desire to get some of the more distracting flies safely corked back again into their bottles. However, the total failure of the recent Cambridge Committee on the Organisation of the Social Sciences to produce even the outline of an overall structure for the integrated study of the law as an important means of social control does at least provide a suitable opportunity for the re-examination of the role of jurisprudence.

Effective conditions for social and psychological support and re-socialization of adolescents in the situation of the offense, according to the authors, is directly related to the response mechanisms of the state and society on juvenile delinquency. Therefore, this article focuses on the analysis of different ways to respond to juvenile delinquency in the Russian and foreign governmental systems. A separate section is devoted to the practice of restorative justice, which is implemented on the border of the legal, social, educational and psychological areas and is an important component of social and psychological support to the teenager in the situation of the offense and a valuable resource to support system and creating conditions for the re-socialization of juvenile offenders.

The Law

This chapter considers the various ways in which the law regulates lies and other forms of deception. In the case of offenses such as perjury, fraud, and rape by deception, it takes a hard line, subjecting offenders to serious criminal sanctions. With respect to deception used by the police (during interrogations) and lawyers (in litigation), the law is more tolerant. And lies told by the media and by political candidates are sometimes regarded as constitutionally protected and therefore beyond the scope of permissible legal regulation entirely. The main point is that the law’s treatment of deception varies significantly depending on the role of the person deceiving (e.g., private individuals versus government officials), the social context in which the deception occurs (e.g., courtrooms, the marketplace, police stations, and sexual encounters), the harms the deception is believed to cause, and the chilling effect its regulation might entail.

Legal Concepts

Without assuming prior legal knowledge, books in the Directions series introduce and guide readers through key points of law and legal debate. Questions, diagrams and exercises help readers to engage fully with each subject and check their understanding as they progress. There are many kinds of trusts performing different functions. Private family trusts of the orthodox type are different from special trusts such as pension trusts and charitable trusts, and the so-called ‘NHS trust’. The diversity of functions performed by trusts explains why there is diversity within the law of trusts. This chapter provides an overview of trusts, including their usefulness, how they differ from other legal concepts (contracts, debt, powers, agency), the different trust types, the role of trusts in asset protection and the social significance of trusts. It looks at special categories of trusts and trustees, including bare trusts, protective trusts, pension fund trusts and asset protection trusts.

The Impact

The Jazz Section was one of the most remarkable cultural institutions in “normalized” Czechoslovakia. Established in 1971 as part of the official Musicians' Union, the Jazz Section used its legal status to arrange jazz and rock concerts and to publish a variety of books without the permission or consent of the Communist authorities. From the late 1970s, the regime strove hard to close the Section; however, it survived until 1984. Only in 1986 did the regime find a way to prosecute its leading activists. This article investigates why persecution proved so troublesome. It focuses on the impact of the Jazz Section's legalistic strategy, and on the role of legal concerns in regime behavior. It argues that references to “law and order” had a central legitimizing function in the social discourse of the Husák regime, and that the resulting need to translate policies of repression into legal measures inhibited the authorities in their assertion of power and created an ambiguous window of opportunity for independent social activism.

Shed Light

This article explores the place of law and legality in the formation of British national identity and its reproduction (and contestation) inside the courtroom. It draws on sociolegal scholarship on legal culture, legal consciousness and ‘law and colonialism’ to shed light on the cultural power of the law to forge national subjectivities. The law does more than adjudicating justice and imposing sanctions. Its symbolic power lies in its capacity to construct legal subjectivities, of both individuals and nations. Through the law and its categories, people make sense of the social world and their position in it. The law can articulate national identities by expressing who we are and who we would like to be as a nation. By exploring the place of the law in discourses of British nationhood, this article contributes to our understanding of the ideological role of the law in reifying racial and global hierarchies. It also sheds light on how the boundaries of belonging can be unsettled through law’s power.

The Law

Today is the age of the 4th industrial revolution and the AI by the development of the science and the technology. In such change of age, the culture and law should find new measures and roles to respond to such changes. This study presumes that the meaning of culture expands to diverse concepts in the society. In the analysis of social phenomenon, the consensus of social members and the practice including the cultural ideology are important. Therefore, the interdisciplinary considerations beyond the science or law will be proposed. In the age of 4th industrial revolution, the data and the idea will be the source of core competition, and the law should support them. However, the social system exemplified with the law promotes the development of the science and the technology but paradoxically, it includes more strict regulation. In the modern society where the technology is being developed and new inventions appear everyday, the culture and the law should be developed to fit to the age. In the age of 4th industrial revolution and AI, the crisis and the opportunity come simultaneously not only to the society but also to its members. To respond to that, the role of science culture, which is in the center of soft power, should be emphasized.

The Right

This Chapter examines the processes around state and society, traces the role of social networks outside the state realm, and conceptualizes these processes as the complementarity of state and society, where strong ideational linkages led to the formation of an ‘epistemic network’. These processes played a significant role in the final phase of the enactment of the Right to Information Act. The period covered in this chapter coincides with the latter half of the second phase. This chapter establishes that mainstream politics converged with the emerging socio-political processes led by the elite within the social movement, judiciary, the press, bureaucracy, and the academia. This convergence needs to be viewed as one of state–society synergy, where the collective ‘epistemic push’ of actors from both within the state and society ‘tips over’ the institution from ‘secrecy’ to ‘openness’.

This article investigates the role of the Law in the Lutheran Church of Uganda. It investigates how the Law is understood and lived among Lutherans in Uganda. Luther, the sixteenthcentury Reformer, understood and interpreted the Law in terms of the social and cultural context of his time. Luther’s background is very different and so much removed from the African context in which the Ugandan Lutherans find themselves today. Therefore, can the Lutheran Church of Uganda have the same understanding and interpretation of the Law as the Reformer? Is Luther’s sixteenth-century European understanding of the Law applicable to the current Lutherans in Africa, specifically in the Lutheran Church of Uganda? This article examines the social and cultural context of Lutherans in Uganda and determines how it affects their understanding and interpretation of the Law. The article aims to demonstrate that the social and cultural context of the people plays an important role in the way the Christian life is conducted. This article appeals to Paul’s situation in Galatians to prove this point.
