The exiled Russian sociologist and legal scholar Nicholas S. Timasheff's place in the forefront of the sociology of law was established with the publication, in 1939, of An Introduction to the Sociology of Law. His magnum opus articulates a systematic legal sociology. The book's title is misleading, giving the false impression that the volume is merely a textbook intended for classroom use. It is much more than this. An Introduction to the Sociology of Law is a sophisticated treatise that explains, precisely and methodically, the law as a social force. It makes two fundamental points: law can, indeed must, be studied by sociology, and law is a combination of socio-ethical and imperative coordination of human behavior.

ISBN: 1351881264

This work provides a rational framework for legislation. The unifying premise behind the essays is that, although legislation and regulation are the result of a political process, legislation and regulation can be the object of theoretical study. The volume focuses on problems that are common to most European legal systems and the approach involves applying to legislative problems the tools of legal theory - hence 'legisprudence'. Whereas traditional legal theory deals predominantly with the application of law by the judge, legisprudence enlarges the field of study so as to include the creation of law by the legislator. The original essays published in this collection expose and develop a range of new insights into the relationship between legislative problems and legal theory in a way which will engage and interest legal scholars throughout the world.

Domestic Abuse and Child Contact

Genre: Law
ISBN: 1000296814

This book presents papers from an International Symposium on Contact Disputes and Allegations of Domestic Violence: Identifying Best Practices, held in London in May 2017. The editors invited a group of international experts to explain the approaches taken in their jurisdictions to allegations of domestic violence in child contact cases, with a view to identifying international best practices in such cases. The book includes contributions from England and Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Canada, Sweden and Spain, as well as information presented at the symposium from New Zealand and Australia. The chapters include attention to particular issues such as specialist domestic violence courts, judicial training and hearing children’s voices. Collectively, the chapters identify a set of common problems experienced across all of the jurisdictions, including an overwhelming emphasis on the value of children’s ongoing contact with non-resident parents and the consequent minimisation of domestic violence and the muting of the voices of children who do not wish to have contact with abusive parents. Best practices in taking domestic violence seriously and providing adequate protection from further abuse for children and non-abusive parents were less in evidence. However, the concluding chapter draws together details of several initiatives and approaches which offer promising ways forward. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Social Welfare and Family Law.

A principios de la década de los años treinta surgió en Estados Unidos la corriente antiformalista del realismo jurídico, movimiento que construyó sus aportes a partir de una serie de críticas al formalismo que había surgido a ambos lados del Atlántico a finales del siglo XIX. Dentro de la corriente antiformalista, los realistas norteamericanos se erigieron como una nueva generación especialmente preocupada por la relación entre sociedad y derecho y por la forma como se construían las decisiones judiciales a partir de valoraciones de utilidad social y política pública. En este contexto se encargaron de desarrollar la intuición antiformalista frente a la indeterminación del derecho, según la cual resulta complejo predecir la decisión judicial a partir de normas jurídicas positivas, pues la labor de un juez también se encuentra determinada por consideraciones psicológicas o sociológicas que no son capturadas por las normas. La tesis fuerte de la indeterminación fue duramente resistida por otros antiformalistas estadounidenses que atacaron al realismo. Uno de estos ataques provino del prestigioso jurista y decano de la Escuela de Leyes de la Universidad de Harvard, Roscoe Pound. Este último, representante de la jurisprudencia sociológica, atacó el escepticismo de los realistas. Ello produjo una respuesta del representante más reputado del realismo jurídico, Karl Llewellyn, quien trató de resistir los ataques de Pound mostrando que los realistas de los años treinta eran herederos del antiformalismo de los viejos representantes de la jurisprudencia sociológica como lo era el propio Pound. No obstante la prudencia de Llewellyn, el debate marcó un quiebre general entre los "viejos" y los "nuevos" antiformalistas estadounidenses: los juristas sociológicos y los realistas.
