Law, Judges and Visual Culture
Law, Judges and Visual Culture analyses how pictures have been used to make, manage and circulate ideas about the judiciary through a variety of media from the sixteenth century to the present.This book offers a new approach to thinking about and making sense of the important social institution that is the judiciary.In an age in which visual images and celebrity play key roles in the way we produce, communicate and consume ideas about society and its key institutions, this book provides the first in-depth study of visual images of judges in these contexts.It not only examines what appears within the frame of these images; it also explores the impact technologies and the media industries that produce them have upon the way we engage with them, and the experiences and meanings they generate.Drawing upon a wide range of scholarship – including art history, film and television studies, and social and cultural studies, as well as law – and interviews with a variety of practitioners, painters, photographers, television script writers and producers, as well as court communication staff and judges, the book generates new and unique insights into making, managing and viewing pictures of judges. Original and insightful, Law, Judges and Visual Culture will appeal to scholars, postgraduates and undergraduates from a variety of disciplines that hold an interest in the role of visual culture in the production of social justice and its institutions.

Law and Popular Culture : International Perspectives
Commentators have noted the extraordinary impact of popular culture on legal practice, courtroom proceedings, police departments, and government as a whole, and it is no exaggeration to say that most people derive their basic understanding of law from cultural products.Movies, television programs, fiction, children's literature, online games, and the mass media typically influence attitudes and impressions regarding law and legal institutions more than law and legal institutions themselves.Law and Popular Culture: International Perspectives enhances the appreciation of the interaction between popular culture and law by underscoring this interaction's multinational and international features.Two dozen authors from nine countries invite readers to consider the role of law-related popular culture in a broad range of nations, socio-political contexts, and educational environments.Even more importantly, selected contributors explore the global transmission and reception of law-related cultural products and, in particular, the influence of assorted works and media across national borders and cultural boundaries.The circulation and consumption of law-related popular culture are increasing as channels of mass media become more complex and as globalization runs its uncertain course.Law and Popular Culture: International Perspectives adds to the critical understanding of the worldwide interaction of popular culture and law and encourages reflection on the wider implications of this mutual influence across both time and geography.

Nature Law and Policy in Europe
This volume considers current and future challenges for nature law and policy in Europe. Following the Fitness Check evaluation of the Birds and Habitats Directives, in 2017 the EU adopted an Action Plan for nature, people and the economy to rapidly improve the Directives’ implementation and accelerate progress towards the EU's biodiversity targets for 2020.More recently, the EU has adopted a Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and proposed an EU Nature Restoration Law.This book makes a timely contribution by examining the current state of play in light of recent and historical developments, as well as the post-2020 nature law and policy landscape.While evidence suggests that Natura 2000 and the Habitats and Birds Directives have delivered conservation benefits for wildlife in Europe, biodiversity loss continues apace.The book reviews the requirements for an effective international nature conservation system, with reference to the Birds and Habitats Directives.It examines regulatory regimes, current legal issues in the fields of site protection and species protection, the protection of areas outside Natura 2000, recent developments in the EU and the UK, including the implications of Brexit, agriculture and nature conservation, litigation, science and access to justice.Written by leading experts in the field, from a range of stakeholder groups, the volume draws on diverse experiences as well as providing interdisciplinary perspectives. This volume will be essential reading for students, scholars, practitioners, NGOs and policy-makers interested in European environmental policy and law, including for example lawyers, ecologists, environmental scientists, political scientists, natural resource managers, planners and civil servants.

What are the differences between divine law, natural law, and the law of nature?
Divine law refers to laws that are believed to be handed down by a higher power or deity, often found in religious texts. Natural law is a set of moral principles that are inherent in human nature and can be discovered through reason. The law of nature, on the other hand, is a broader concept that encompasses the physical laws that govern the natural world. While divine law is based on religious beliefs, natural law is rooted in human reason and morality, and the law of nature pertains to the physical world and its workings.

What is John Locke's state of nature and natural law?
John Locke's state of nature is a hypothetical scenario in which individuals exist without any form of government or societal structure. In this state, individuals have natural rights to life, liberty, and property, and are free to pursue their own interests without interference. Locke's natural law is the principle that governs the state of nature, emphasizing the protection of individual rights and the promotion of peace and cooperation among individuals. Locke believed that the purpose of government is to preserve and protect these natural rights, and that individuals have the right to overthrow a government that fails to do so.

Are the categorical imperative and the law of nature synonymous?
No, the categorical imperative and the law of nature are not synonymous. The categorical imperative, proposed by Immanuel Kant, is a moral principle that states one should act only according to rules that they would be willing to see universally followed. On the other hand, the law of nature refers to the idea that there are certain inherent laws or principles that govern the natural world. While both concepts involve principles that guide behavior, they are distinct in their focus and application.

What do Kant's formulas of the law of nature, the end in itself, and the universal law mean?
Kant's formulas of the law of nature, the end in itself, and the universal law are part of his ethical theory known as deontological ethics. The formula of the law of nature states that one should act as if the maxim of their action could become a universal law of nature. This means that one should consider whether their actions could be consistently followed by everyone in similar situations. The formula of the end in itself emphasizes treating individuals as ends in themselves, rather than as a means to an end. Finally, the formula of the universal law states that one should act according to maxims that they would want to see become universal laws. These formulas provide a framework for determining the moral permissibility of actions based on their underlying principles and their potential universal application.

Locating Nature : Making and Unmaking International Law
For those troubled by environmental harm on a global scale and its deeply unequal effects, this book explains how international law structures ecological degradation and environmental injustice while claiming to protect the environment.It identifies how central legal concepts such as sovereignty, jurisdiction, territory, development, environment, labour and human rights make inaccurate and unsustainable assumptions about the natural world and systemically reproduce environmental degradation and injustice.To avert socioecological crises, we must not only unpack but radically rework our understandings of nature and its relationship with law.We propose more sustainable and equitable ways to remake law's relationship with nature by drawing on diverse disciplines and sociocultural traditions that have been marginalized within international law.Influenced by Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL), postcolonialism and decoloniality, and inspired by Indigenous knowledges, cosmology, mythology and storytelling, this book lays the groundwork for an epistemological shift in the way humans conceptualize the relationship between law and nature.

What are the commutative law, the associative law, and the distributive law?
The commutative law states that the order of the numbers in an addition or multiplication equation does not affect the result. For example, 2 + 3 is the same as 3 + 2, and 2 x 3 is the same as 3 x 2. The associative law states that the grouping of numbers in an addition or multiplication equation does not affect the result. For example, (2 + 3) + 4 is the same as 2 + (3 + 4), and (2 x 3) x 4 is the same as 2 x (3 x 4). The distributive law states that multiplication distributes over addition, meaning that a(b + c) is equal to ab + ac. This law is used to simplify expressions and equations involving both addition and multiplication.
