The Rights of Indians and Tribes explains Federal Indian Law in a conversational manner, yet is highly authoritative, containing over 2000 footnotes with citations to relevant court decisions, statutes, and agency regulations. Since its initial publication in 1983 it has sold over 125,000 copies. It is user-friendly and particularly helpful for tribal advocates, students, government officials, lawyers, and members of the general public. The book uses a question-and-answer format and covers every important subject impacting Indians and tribes today and discusses which governments-tribal, state, and federal-have authority on Indian reservations. This fully-updated fifth edition provides a Foreword by John Echohawk, Director of the Native American Rights Fund, and covers the most significant legal issues facing Indians and Indian tribes. This includes the regulation of non-Indians on reservations, definitions of important legal terms, Indian treaties, the Indian Civil Rights Act, the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, and the Indian Child Welfare Act.

Am 18. und 19. Mai 2023 fand ein Symposium zum 100. Todestag von Eugen Huber statt. Grundthema war das Richterrecht modo legislatoris, welches Eugen Huber auf einen Schlag weltberühmt gemacht hat. Das vorliegende Buch sammelt die gehaltenen Referate in einem Band, wobei insbesondere - nach einer Einleitung von Heinrich Honsell - Aspekte des Narrativs Eugen Hubers zur Sprache kommen (René Pahud de Mortanges) und danach die Differenzierung Eugen Hubers zwischen Gesetz und Gesamtrechtsordnung herausgearbeitet wurde (Stephan Meder), aber auch Eugen Huber und das Obligationenrecht einer neueren Betrachtung unterzogen wurden (Corinne Widmer Lüchinger). Eugen Hubers erbrechtliche Arbeiten im Lichte der aktuellen Gesetzesrevisionen (Paul Eitel) sind ebenso Thema wie Eugen Huber im Fokus der Philatelie (Roland Pfäffli), Eugen Huber und der Stämpfli Verlag (Stephan Kilian) oder Eugen Huber und Italien (Antonio Saccochio) sowie die Beziehung Eugen Hubers mit Max Rümelin (Iole Fargnoli). Ein weiterer Beitrag ist Frankreich mit Gaudemets und Génys Revisionsgedanken gewidmet (Yves Mausen). Auf einen Werkstattbericht zur Quellenforschung (Urs Fasel) folgen schliesslich «Eugen Huber an der Weichsel» (Aleksander Grebieniow) und eine Betrachtung der ungleichen Freunde Eugen Huber und Jakob Schnurrenberger (Verena E. Müller).

'Saarland Financial Constitutions in Times of Upheaval. Saarland Financial Constitutional Law from 1945 to 1957/1959': Based on the economic affiliation of the Saarland to France after World War II to July 5, 1959, the thesis analyzes the financial constitutional law in the Saarland during this period. Special attention is paid to the turnover tax and the excise duties, which were largely 'Frenchified' in the Saarland and distributed between the Saarland and France according to a population-based key. Furthermore, the paper highlights the parallels of this Franco-Saarland economic union to European integration.

»The Historical Development of Marriage Bans on Grounds of Kinship and Affinity from the Empire Personal Status Act (Reichspersonenstandsgesetz) to the Marriage Law Act (Eheschließungsrechtsgesetz) (1875 to 1998)«: The author examines the history of marriage bans on grounds of kinship, affinity, and sexual union since the founding of the German nation-state. Because of the changing political and ideological conditions in the German Empire, National Socialism, under Allied occupation, in the German Democratic Republic and in the Federal Republic, the tendency of their steady reduction finally becomes apparent only after 1946. Complete abolition, on the other hand, is not recommended.

»Constitution and War in Constitutional History«: The relationship between constitutional orders and war has been a historical constant. Wars always have effects on the structures and functional forms of legal orders of governmental rule. The contributions in this volume examine these developmental dynamics in historical longitudinal analysis. The perspective ranges from the European High Middle Ages through the Early Modern Period and the beginning of Modernity to the present day of national and international law of war.

»Hostels in the Kempten Princely Abbey - A Contribution to the Dogmatics of Bavarian Condominium Ownership«: Hostels, or in the old right herbergs, are relics of a bygone era that still live on within the conti-nental European legal sphere. The work focuses on the history of the hostels in the Kempten Princely Abbey, but it has also the character of a contribution to European legal history. The focus of the legal dogmatic treatment is the Bavarian hostel law. With the detailed treatment of federal law with regard to condominium ownership, the work also prepares the applicable law in Germany in a generally manner.

Arbeiten Rechtswissenschaft und Rechtspraxis kooperativ und produktiv zusammen? Ist in letzter Zeit ein "Bruch" zwischen beiden Sphären zu beobachten? Und: Wer beeinflusst wen? Das Verhältnis von Wissenschaft und Praxis ist gerade im Verwaltungsrecht Gegenstand handfester Kontroversen. Galt das Verhältnis lange Zeit als konsolidiert, wird von Teilen der Wissenschaft jüngst behauptet, Verwaltungsrechtswissenschaft und Verwaltungsrechtspraxis befänden sich in einem Prozess des "Auseinanderdriftens": Methodische Grundlagendiskussionen in der Wissenschaft würden von der Praxis kaum mehr rezipiert, zahlreiche Themengebiete des Besonderen Verwaltungsrechts würden trotz ihrer großen Praxisrelevanz von der Wissenschaft ignoriert. Paul Hüther untersucht das Verhältnis von Wissenschaft und Praxis im Verwaltungsrecht aus empirischer und historischer Perspektive. In diesem Rahmen nimmt er die personellen, institutionellen, formalen und inhaltlichen Verflechtungen von Verwaltungsrechtswissenschaft und Verwaltungsrechtspraxis von 1949 bis heute in den Blick.

As torts and as crimes, champerty and maintenance were abolished by statute in England and Wales in 1967. They were considered to be obsolete and the product of a bygone age, when abuses of the court system as practised by rich and powerful noblemen required a robust legal response. A modern, sophisticated, and independent judiciary rendered it unnecessary either to punish or to compensate for champerty or maintenance any longer. However, post-1967, their impact was retained via a 'reservation provision', which ensures that any contract tainted by champerty or maintenance 'is to be treated as contrary to public policy or otherwise illegal.' Fast forward five decades to the present day, and whilst maintenance has arguably reached its use-by date in English law, the same cannot be said of its more aggressive cousin. Champerty, as a doctrine, retains considerable modern impact in this jurisdiction, stalking the modern funding and civil procedure landscape. It continues to have greatest impact in two areas: the funding of litigation, and the assignments of causes of action. The Modern Doctrines of Champerty and Maintenance looks comparatively at jurisdictions' attitudes towards champerty and maintenance, together with an analysis of law reform studies in the area, both in England and elsewhere.

The Army Act (1950), the Air Force Act (1950) and the Navy Act (1957) provide a different legal framework for governing three wings of the Indian Armed Forces. These laws are derived primarily from the military laws promulgated by the British to govern the Native Indian Army and specifically after the Great Rebellion in 1857, its provisions were made more severe to serve the purposes of colonial masters. Even 75 years after Independence, several legal provisions followed in the Indian Armed Forces have a colonial footprint. The civilian criminal justice system in India, which has been modernized on the progressive principles of human rights, has been unjustly kept away from the military domain. The wind of change blowing over the military law world over has not permeated the closed prescient of the Indian military justice system. Since 2014, the government has repealed more than 1,500 old and obsolete laws; most of these were remnants of the British Era. However, the military legal system of the Victorian era is yet to see any change. With changing character of war forcing modernization of the three wings including a planned integration, there is a need to have a modern common law for the Indian Armed Forces. It must be based on our constitutional guarantees, changing composition of the armed forces, progressive principles of justice and human rights norms. This book takes a 360 view of the evolution of the Indian Military Legal system and proposes a pragmatic path ahead. Besides the armed forces and paramilitary personnel, this book will be of interest to parliamentarians, jurists, bureaucrats, and members of civil society who are associated with justice and accountability.

Natalie Davidson offers an alternative account of Alien Tort Statute litigation by revisiting the field's two seminal cases, Filártiga (filed 1979) and Marcos (filed 1986), lawsuits ostensibly concerned with torture in Paraguay and the Philippines, respectively. Combining legal analysis, archival research and ethnographic methods, this book reveals how these cases operated as transitional justice mechanisms, performing the transition of the United States and its allies out of the Cold War order. It shows that US courts produced a whitewashed history of US involvement in repression in the Western bloc, while in Paraguay and the Philippines the distance from US courts allowed for a more critical narration of the lawsuits and their underlying violence as symptomatic of structural injustice. By exposing the political meanings of these legal landmarks for three societies, Davidson sheds light on the blend of hegemonic and emancipatory implications of international human rights litigation in US courts.

Die Ubiquität des Kommunikationsraums "Cyberspace" erschwert bis heute dessen raumordnungsrechtliche Einordnung und einheitliche Regulierung. Das Recht tut sich schwer mit der Normierung des technisch konstituierten "virtuellen Raums". Aber warum? Am Beispiel des Cyberspace analysiert Camilla S. Haake Dynamiken der Entwicklung von Recht und Technik und konzentriert sich dabei v.a. auf die grenzüberschreitende Dimension und das Verhältnis von Völkerrecht und Technik. Die Autorin zeigt Ansätze einer völkerrechtlichen Regulierung von Aktivitäten im Cyberspace de lege lata und de lege ferenda auf und identifiziert Veränderungen, denen die bekannten völkerrechtlichen Werkzeuge und Prozesse der Normsetzung und -durchsetzung aufgrund des Einflusses des technischen Wandels unterworfen sind. Umgekehrt analysiert sie jedoch ebenso die innovationshemmende bzw. -fördernde Wirkung unterschiedlicher Regelungsmechanismen.

This collection of essays covers the reception of Jeremy Bentham's legal and political thought in a variety of different countries and historical periods. Authors from around the world explore how Bentham's utilitarian program of legal and political reform was disseminated (and sometimes distorted) in the United States, France, Germany, Japan, Russia, China, Italy, Spain and Australia. Themes or issues shared amongst the essays include the prominent role Étienne Dumont's famous redactions of Bentham's texts played in the early international reception of Bentham's thought, the ways in which Bentham's theories of law and government both succeeded and failed to penetrate political cultures that possessed natural law leanings and, relatedly, the apparent philosophical plasticity of Bentham's thinking (from which both liberal and authoritarian traditions have tried to profit). Together, the essays offer a fresh perspective on the relationship between Bentham's legal and political thought and the global history of utilitarianism.Simon Palmer is a research student at the University of Leuphana Lüneburg.
