This fascinating intellectual memoir by a leading academic lawyer charts the development of his thought in the context of African, American, and British universities over sixty years. Twining's unique engagement with globalisation, jurisprudence, evidence, and legal education is addressed to legal theorists and academic lawyers generally.
Focusing on the interpretation and application of English law, this updated classic textbook serves as an essential guide for newcomers. It provides clear explanations of legal principles and the practical implications of rules, making it a valuable resource for understanding the complexities of the legal system.
The purpose of this new study, which originates from COST Action A21, is to take forward the existing materials contained in Mapping Restorative Justice and in other European overviews. This new book provides a deeper and more reflective account of the genesis and current significance of restorative justice provisions within 14 selected European countries. Each country contribution therefore addresses in great detail the background and contents of its legislation, both at primary and subordinate level. The authors in this book not only evaluate their legal structures against applicable international standards, but they also analyse the social and political function of restorative justice legislation and they reflect on how different types of regulation further shape and determine restorative justice principles and practices.
