"In the second half of the nineteenth century, states across the Muslim World developed new criminal codes and reshaped their legal landscapes, laying the foundations of the systems that continue to inform the application of justice today. Influenced by colonialism and the rise of the modern state's desire to control their populations, many have seen the introduction of these codes as a pivotal shift and divergence from the Shari'a, the dominant paradigm in premodern Muslim jurisdictions. In A Continuity of Shari'a, Brian Wright challenges this view, comparing between the Egyptian, Ottoman, and Indian contexts. By examining the environment in which the new codes were created, highlighting the work of local scholars and legal actors, and examining the content of the codes themselves, Wright argues that the criminal systems of the late nineteenth century have more connections to their past than previously understood. Colonial influence was adapted to local circumstances and synthesized with premodern understandings in an eclectic legal environment to create solutions to local problems while maintaining a continuity with the Shari'a."--

"The idea that wealthy people use their money to influence things, including politics, law, and media will surprise very few people. However, as Michael S. Kang and Joanna Shepherd argue in this readable and rich study of the state judiciary, the effect of money on judicial outcomes should disturb and anger everyone. In the current system that elects state judges, the rich and powerful can spend money to elect and re-elect judges who decide cases the way they want. Free to Judge is about how and why money increasingly affects the dispensation of justice in our legal system, and what can be done to stop it. One of the barriers to action in the past has been an inability to prove that campaign donations influence state judicial decision-making. In this book, Kang and Shepherd answer that challenge for the first time, with a rigorous empirical study of campaign finance and judicial decision-making data. Pairing this with interviews of past and present judges, they create a compelling and persuasive account of people like Marsha Ternus, the first Iowa state supreme court justice to be voted out of office after an intense her and her decision in a same-sex marriage case. The threat of such an outcome, and the desire to win reelection, results in judges demonstrably leaning towards the interests and preferences of their campaign donors across all cases. Free to Judge is thus able to identify the pieces of our current system that invite bias, such as judicial reelection, and what reforms should focus on. This thoughtful and compellingly written book will be required reading for anybody who cares about creating a more just legal system"--

Klar ist es schön, mit Menschen gemeinsam an einem Ort zu sein und "in echt" ein Seminar zu erleben. Wenn ein Präsenzseminar nicht möglich ist - und das kann ganz verschiedene Gründe haben -, sind Onlinetreffen nicht nur eine vorübergehende Lösung, sondern tatsächlich auch eine tolle Alternative, die viele positive Aspekte mit sich bringt. Weniger Reiseaufwand, keine Fahrtkosten, größere Flexibilität – die Liste der Vorteile ließe sich fortsetzen, aber Nachteile gibt es natürlich auch. Mit diesem HOWTO, das im Auftrag der "Servicestelle für digitale kulturelle Bildung" der .lkj) - Landesvereinigung kulturelle Kinder- und Jugendbildung Sachsen-Anhalt e. V. entstanden ist, wollen wir euch ein solides Handbuch mitgeben, um eigene Onlineseminare sicher durchführen zu können. So könnt ihr online entspannt und mit Spaß eine fruchtbare und wertvolle Zeit mit den Teilnehmenden erleben. Wie ihr dem Inhaltsverzeichnis entnehmen könnt, ist das HOWTO so strukturiert, wie ihr auch ein analoges Seminar organisieren würdet. Wir starten mit der Einladung und enden mit einem Check-out. Beim Verfassen dieses Manuals haben wir hauptsächlich an die Seminarleitung gedacht, aber auch für Teilnehmende lohnt sich die Lektüre. Es gibt eine Vielzahl von Online-Conferencing-Anbietern, die sich stetig weiterentwickeln. Wir stellen euch keine konkreten Anbieter vor, denn wer weiß, welche neuen Anbieter es übermorgen gibt. Stattdessen geben wir euch Hinweise, welche Funktionen und Tools besonders wichtig und gewinnbringend sind. Ihr lernt außerdem Tools und Methoden kennen, die kostenfrei erhältlich sind oder von denen zumindest Gratisversionen verfügbar sind, deren Funktionen ausreichen, um tolle Seminare zu gestalten. Stichwort Break-out-Räume: Kleingruppenarbeiten bieten sich in vielen Onlineseminaren an und Break-out-Räume sind bei den meisten Online-Conferencing-Anbietern Teil des Standardpakets.
