A Barrister in the Far East - Duncan McNeill Memoirs of Extraterritoriality in China, Hong Kong and Japan (1891-1926)【電子書籍】[ T.M. Thorp ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>I was called to the Bar in 1889 and went abroad very soon afterwards. For thirty-five years, from the beginning of 1891, I practised in Extra-territorial Courts. As we shall probably, before long, see the end of a system that has been in force ever since our country came into direct relations with the alien cultures of China and Japan, I think that perhaps this record, which covers the period of its decline, may be of interest to the international legal fraternity. Although some years may elapse before H.B.M Supreme Court for China goes the way of H.B.M Court for Japan, it is tolerably certain that no young barrister or solicitor commencing practice in Shanghai in 1930 will be able to report in 1950 that a British Court still exists there.</p> <p>Most people have a general idea of what Extra-territoriality (or Ex-territoriality or Ex-trality) means; but I may as well state here that, in countries which have by Treaty conceded extra-territorial privileges to British subjects, such persons are amenable only to the law of England administered by British officials. The subjects of other countries having similar Treaties enjoy, of course, the like immunity from local jurisdiction. It is a typically Chinese system. Chinese jurisdiction applies to universal matters but, as we shall see, established Treaties provide us with much free rein to govern private disputes...</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

A Barrister's Guide to Your Personal Injury Claim【電子書籍】[ Julian Benson ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Every day, people get injured, often by accidents where no one is to blame. However, sometimes injuries happen because someone else - a person or an organisation - is at fault. These personal injuries can lead to compensation, particularly if the injury is life changing. Usually, people only experience one significant injury that leads to a personal injury claim in their lifetime. So, for most, dealing with a claim is unfamiliar and stressful, especially when they're already coping with the injury. This guide aims to explain the legal process and help injured individuals (and their loved ones) understand what to expect. Aimed at members of the public in England and Wales, this guide contains authoritative, impartial advice to enable individuals to understand and participate in their personal injury claim with confidence. The guide aims to: - Help you understand the legal process, what to expect, and your role. - Assist you in building a clear and reasonable claim, maximising the prospect that you will receive a reasonable compensation settlement. - Guide you in choosing the right representatives, assessing their service, identifying and addressing problems early, and replacing advisors if needed. It is written by a highly regarded specialist barrister with 30 years experience and is aimed at making the claims process less stressful whilst promoting fairer, quicker and more cost-effective settlements.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The "Diary of John Manningham" is an invaluable historical document that captures the intricacies of everyday life in 17th-century England. Written in a candid and engaging literary style, Manningham's diary presents a rich tapestry of daily experiences, social interactions, and cultural observations. Through the lens of his meticulous accounts, readers gain insight into the political, social, and religious dynamics of the time, as well as the impact of significant events such as the English Civil War. Manningham's eloquent prose and astute reflections render the diary not just a record of personal experiences, but a vivid narrative of a transformative period in English history. John Manningham, a lawyer and member of the Parliamentary committee in London, was immersed in the socio-political fabric of his time. His unique position allowed him to document not only his thoughts and experiences but also the prevailing sentiments of his contemporaries. The diary reflects his intellectual curiosity and provides glimpses into the cultural and philosophical debates that shaped his worldview, making it an essential primary source for understanding the era. I highly recommend the "Diary of John Manningham" to scholars, history enthusiasts, and casual readers alike. It serves as both a compelling narrative and a crucial historical artifact, revealing the human experience in a time of unprecedented change. Manningham's reflections create a bridge to the past, inviting readers to contemplate the complexities of life in the 17th century.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Bewigged and Bewildered? A Guide to Becoming a Barrister in England and Wales【電子書籍】[ Mr Ian Higgins ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Misunderstandings and jargon prevent many from seriously considering a career as a barrister in the belief that such a career is not for them or that they are not for it. Others know that they might want to become barristers but not how to go about it, or just want to know more about this somewhat mysterious profession.</p> <p>This book, written by two barristers, clearly but informally explains the traditions, terminology and institutions of the Bar, and what it is actually like to be a barrister. With this aim, several barristers practising in different fields describe in detail a typical week in their life. Advice is then given on how to be accepted into, fund and survive the various academic and other stages that precede qualification as a barrister, including work experience, Bar School and pupillage (the barrister's apprenticeship). It explains how to transfer to the Bar, for the benefit of solicitors, overseas lawyers or those in a non-legal career.</p> <p>This third edition is fully updated to take account of the most recent changes to the Bar, training for it, and the process of recruitment to it.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Renegade Barrister Bobby's Trials, Book Two【電子書籍】[ Bobby Wilson ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In 1973 when I started practicing law ? the country was in anti-war mode, with widespread demonstrations. Most law graduates, including myself, did not want to work for the large law firms or corporations and certainly not for “the government.” We were an idealistic bunch ? wanting to help the down trodden and helpless masses. The great anti-poverty movements were active and growing. I soon discovered that good deeds and free legal services do not pay salaries or office rent and had to settle down and try to earn a living and support myself, my family and my staff. My law practice was a general practice ? and I never knew who or what was going to walk through our door next. A murder case, child custody matter, or some unsolved mystery. Some were minor cases ? others were major cases that were to make new law in the State of Texas after review by some of the highest courts in the land. In writing this book, which is as much about what happened to some of my fortunate and unfortunate clients as happened to me ? I try to tell their unusual stories in layman’s language and how their experiences with our legal system changed all our lives. The judicial process, whether it is criminal or civil in nature, can and does fundamentally change a person’s life. The parties involved may feel that justice prevailed or justice was denied in their case. The actions or inactions of their legal counsel often make the difference between a just or unjust outcome. Our system of justice is not self-correcting ? it is a never-ending struggle between the weak and the powerful; whether they are governmental agencies and large corporations.

The Experiences of a Barrister, and Confessions of an Attorney【電子書籍】[ Samuel Warren ]

|
<p>A fascinating account of the personal experiences of various cases undertaken by 19th century English lawyer Samuel Warren. Excerpt: Something more than half a century ago, a person, in going along Holborn, might have seen, near the corner of one of the thoroughfares which diverge towards Russell Square, the respectable-looking shop of a glover and haberdasher named James Harvey, a man generally esteemed by his neighbours, and who was usually considered well to do in the world. Like many London tradesmen, Harvey was originally from the country. He had come up to town when a poor lad, to push his fortune, and by dint of steadiness and civility, and a small property left him by a distant relation, he had been able to get into business on his own account, and to attain that most important element of success in Londonー"a connection." Shortly after setting up in the world, he married a young woman from his native town, to whom he had been engaged ever since his school-days; and at the time our narrative commences he was the father of three children.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p><strong>**NOW WITH NEW AFTERWORD AND READING GROUP QUESTIONS**</strong></p> <p><strong>'<em>An absolute triumph; a compelling and courageous memoir forcing the legal profession to confront uncomfortable truths about race and class. Alexandra Wilson is a bold and vital voice. This is a book that urgently needs to be read by everyone inside, and outside, the justice system</em>.' THE SECRET BARRISTER</strong></p> <p><em><strong>'A riveting book in the best tradition of courtroom dramas but from the fresh perspective of a young female mixed-race barrister. That Alexandra is "often" mistaken for the defendant shows how important her presence at the bar really is.'</strong></em> <strong>MATT RUDD, THE SUNDAY TIMES MAGAZINE</strong></p> <p><strong>'<em>This is the story of a young woman who overcame all the obstacles a very old profession could throw at her, and she survived, with her integrity intact.'</em></strong><br /> <strong>BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH</strong></p> <p>Alexandra Wilson was a teenager when her dear family friend Ayo was stabbed on his way home from football. Ayo's death changed Alexandra.

The Barrister and the Letter of Marque【電子書籍】[ Todd Johnson ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>Winner of 2022 Daphne du Maurier Award in Overall Published Division and Mainstream Suspense/Mystery</strong></p> <p>As a barrister in 1818 London, William Snopes has witnessed firsthand the danger of only the wealthy having their voices heard, and he's a strong advocate who defends the poorer classes against the powerful. That changes the day a struggling heiress, Lady Madeleine Jameson, arrives at his door.</p> <p>In a last-ditch effort to save her faltering estate, Lady Jameson invested in a merchant brig, the <em>Padget</em>. The ship was granted a rare privilege by the king's regent: a Letter of Marque authorizing the captain to seize the cargo of French traders operating illegally in the Indian Sea. Yet when the <em>Padget</em> returns to London, her crew is met by soldiers ready to take possession of their goods and arrest the captain for piracy. And the Letter--the sole proof his actions were legal--has mysteriously vanished.</p> <p>Moved by the lady's distress, intrigued by the Letter, and goaded by an opposing solicitor, Snopes takes the case. But as he delves deeper into the mystery, he learns that the forces arrayed against Lady Jameson, and now himself, are even more perilous than he'd imagined.</p> <p>**"**<em><strong>The Barrister and the Letter of Marque</strong></em> <strong>combines the intrigue of John Grisham, the vibrant world of Charles Dickens, and a mystery worthy of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. . . . This richly historical and lively paced story has all the makings of a modern classic."</strong>--JOCELYN GREEN, Christy Award-winning author of <em>Shadows of the White City</em></p> <p><strong>"At once atmospheric and gripping, Johnson's latest is a luminous and refreshing new offering in inspirational historical fiction."</strong>--RACHEL MCMILLAN, author of <em>The London Restoration</em> and <em>The Mozart Code</em></p> <p><strong>"A fascinating glimpse into a Regency London readers seldom see."</strong>--ROSEANNA M.

The Tinners Hut A Barrister Phileas Cluff Novel【電子書籍】[ Gil V Jackson ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Alternative history can be tackled in many ways. I choose time travel and multi verse as I believe in the possibility that for every event, action, decision, choice made (in many cases random or accidental), will have an infinitesimal number of alternatives. All these, will of course, create other choices down-the-line. My science fiction novel, 'The Tinners' Hut is one such example where cause and effect of a decision can have dire consequences without the perpetrator being aware; or even considering an eventual chaos. In this case, it's a king of England. His decreeing one event only to change it later, will cause havoc 300 years down his particular line that will affect the monarchy he is trying to defend.</p> <p>_______________________</p> <p>When barrister Phileas Cluff, is enticed into a time-portal, he finds himself having to defend a man already hanged for murder in 1715. Assisted by his fiancee, Jackie Forbes in 2008, he has to build a case for a defence without 20th century forensics to aid him.</p> <p>If the man dies on the scaffold his descendant will not be able to save the lives of 300 children being held in a 2008 hostage siege at a school in Bristol.</p> <p><em><strong>Buy Your Copy of THE TINNERS HUT today</strong></em></p> <p>and begin your journey with this Paranormal Historical Novel that's <em><strong>Stylish! Sharp!</strong></em> and <em><strong>Grippingly!</strong></em> out of this world; a book that will blow your mind, asking you to consider the theory that quantum physics expounds that parallel universes likely possible.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Islamic Law【電子書籍】[ Barrister Hamdalah Bello ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In the contemporary world, the quest for understanding diverse legal systems and their social implications is more crucial than ever. Islamic law, or Sharia, often emerges as a focal point of interest and, at times, contention. It is a complex and nuanced legal system, rich in tradition and deeply rooted in the religious, cultural, and social fabric of Muslim societies. This book aims to bridge the knowledge gap for both Muslim and non-Muslim readers, providing a comprehensive and accessible exploration of Islamic law and its approach to contemporary social matters.</p> <p>For centuries, Islamic law has governed various aspects of life in Muslim communities, from personal conduct to societal norms, and has significantly influenced global legal systems. Yet, despite its historical significance and ongoing relevance, it remains one of the most misunderstood and misrepresented legal traditions. This book seeks to demystify Islamic law, presenting it as a dynamic, evolving system that addresses the complexities of modern life while staying true to its foundational principles.</p> <p>In crafting this book, we have been guided by the need to present Islamic law not just as a set of rules, but as a holistic legal tradition that engages with moral, ethical, and spiritual dimensions of human existence. We explore how Islamic law responds to contemporary social issues and associated legal justice. By examining these topics through an Islamic lens, we hope to provide readers with a nuanced understanding of how Sharia addresses modern challenges while maintaining its core values.</p> <p>For Muslim readers, this book offers a deeper insight into their legal heritage, encouraging reflection on how Islamic law can be applied in today's diverse and changing world. For non-Muslim readers, it serves as an invitation to explore the richness of Islamic legal thought, fostering greater empathy and mutual understanding in our increasingly interconnected global community.</p> <p>Throughout the book, we emphasize the diversity within Islamic legal thought, showcasing different schools of jurisprudence and the wide range of interpretations that exist within the Muslim world. This pluralism is a testament to the flexibility and adaptability of Islamic law, highlighting its capacity to evolve and respond to new circumstances without losing its essence.</p> <p>In writing this book, we have drawn upon a wealth of classical and contemporary sources, integrating scholarly perspectives with real-world examples. Our aim is to provide a balanced and informative resource that respects the complexity of Islamic law while making it accessible to readers from all backgrounds.</p> <p>We hope that this book will serve as a valuable tool for anyone seeking to understand the principles and practices of Islamic law, and how they intersect with contemporary social issues. By fostering a more informed and nuanced dialogue about Islamic law, we aspire to contribute to a world where diverse legal traditions are appreciated and respected for their unique contributions to human civilization.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Mostly Guilty A Low-flying Barrister's Working Life【電子書籍】[ Michael Challinger ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>A book for the general reader rather than lawyers, this often tongue-in-cheek account of Michael Challinger's interactions with the criminals he defends gives a first-hand account of the quirky nature of human beings.<br /> <em>Mostly Guilty</em> deals with the workings of the lowest level of the Australian legal system. It's about the down-to-earth cases that happen daily in Magistrates' Courts. It does so through the experiences and anecdotes of a low-flying criminal barrister. While the cases are from Victoria, the book makes reference to other states and has relevance and interest Australia-wide.<br /> The style is light, punchy and informal, with lots of direct speech and many funny yarns. Some of the book is tongue-in-cheek (and even politically incorrect) but it also makes serious points throughout. It's entertaining as well as informative.<br /> The chapters are short, and generally deal with specific offences (shop theft, for example) or areas of law (bail). Others recount particular cases in an ironic or colourful way. Most cases are of low to medium criminality so the light-hearted tone is not inappropriate.<br /> Most legal memoirs are by big-shot advocates or retired judges. <em>Mostly Guilty</em> is different, and doesn't take itself too seriously.</p> <p>Michael Challinger still practises as a criminal barrister at the Melbourne Bar. He spent eight years as a lawyer in Papua New Guinea and also practised in London. He's a music lover and keen traveller, having visited more than 120 countries. He lives in Melbourne.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Albert Gate Mystery: Being Further Adventures of Reginald Brett, Barrister Detective【電子書籍】[ Louis Tracy ]

<p>Reginald Brett, barr ister-at-law and amateur detective, had seldom been more at peace with the world and his own conscience than when he entered the dining-room of his cosy flat this bright October morning. Since the famous affair of Lady Delia Lyle's disappearance and death, he had not been busy, and the joy of healthy idleness is only known to the hard worker. Again, while dressing, he had received a letter inviting him to a quiet shoot at a delightful place in the country. All these things blended with happy inconsequence to render Brett contented in mind and affable in manner. "It's a fine morning, Smith," he said cheerily, as he settled himself at the table where his "man" was already pouring out the coffee.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
