ISBN: 9781841135526 / Angielski / Twarda / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

As a result of the...

ISBN: 9780292740532 / Angielski / Miękka / 223 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Athenians performed democracy daily in their law courts. Without lawyers or judges, private citizens, acting as accusers and defendants, argued their own cases directly to juries composed typically of 201 to 501 jurors, who voted on a verdict without deliberation. This legal system strengthened and perpetuated democracy as Athenians understood it, for it emphasized the ideological equality of all (male) citizens and the hierarchy that placed them above women, children, and slaves. This study uses Athenian court speeches to trace the consequences for both disputants and society of... Athenians performed democracy daily in their law courts.

Fewer than 5 percent of the tens of millions of injury claims annually are actually resolved through a public trial with a jury, and the vast majority are settled out of court or through private forums, such as mediation or arbitration, with undisclosed terms....

Truth and Efficiency in Civil Litigation: Fundamental Aspects of Fact-Finding and Evidence-Taking in a Comparative Contextvolume 111
ISBN: 9781780681337 / Angielski / Miękka / 402 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the pursuit of justice, truth always plays a prominent role. Few, if any, legal systems are willing to waive the right to claim that the results of their legal processes are fair, just, and, above all, based on the truth.

Such rules are the core of most methods of adjudication and they are the main theme of this book, which focuses specifically on the rules of evidence within the context of efficiency in civil proceedings. Apart from the...

Exploring the Domain of Tort Law reviews the evidence on the...
