    Family, Sex, Kinship

    Edición de Robert Leckey ...

Policy makers too may assume that a troublesome file is now closed. This collection arises from the urgent sense that law reforms driven by equality call for fresh lines of inquiry. In unintended ways, reforms may ... Leer más

  • Contextual Subjects

    Family, State, and Relational Theory

    de Robert Leckey ...
    Law and legal discourse both presuppose and produce legal subjects. Views on the nature of the legal subject will constantly shift, therefore, with changes in the law.

This claim is developed through a contrast of Canadian family law and ... Leer más

  • Bills of Rights in the Common Law

    de Robert Leckey ...
    Series Libro 13 - Cambridge Studies in Constitutional Law
    Scholars have addressed at length the 'what' of judicial review under a bill of rights - scrutinizing legislation and striking it down - but neglected the 'how'. Adopting an internal legal perspective, Robert Leckey addresses that gap by reporting on the processes and activities of judges of the highest courts of Canada, South Africa and the United Kingdom as they apply their relatively new bills ...

    de Karen Tracy ...

    Interdisciplinary Reflections

    Edición de Nicola Barker, Daniel Monk ...

While fiercely opposed by many, within mainstream narratives they are often represented as a victory in a legal reform process that commenced with the decriminalisation of homosexuality. Yet, at the same time, for others ... Leer más

  • The Living Constitution

    de David A. Strauss ...

    Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia once remarked that the theory of an evolving, "living" Constitution effectively "rendered the Constitution useless."
