Cover Legal Certainty in the Preliminary Reference Procedure
Legal Certainty in the Preliminary Reference Procedure
The Role of Extra-Legal Steadying Factors
John Cotter

This forward-thinking book examines numerous features in the European Union (EU) legal system that serve to reduce legal uncertainty in the preliminary reference procedure and the rulings of the Court of Justice. Drawing on theories from legal realist Karl Llewellyn, legal steadying factors such as legal doctrine and interpretative techniques are reviewed alongside the primary focus of this book, extra-legal steadying factors.

Cover Research Handbook on General Principles in EU Law
Research Handbook on General Principles in EU Law
Constructing Legal Orders in Europe
Edited by Katja S. Ziegler, Päivi J. Neuvonen, and Violeta Moreno-Lax
This Research Handbook offers a comprehensive study of existing and emerging general principles of EU law by scholars from a wide range of expertise in EU law, international law, legal theory and different areas of substantive law. It explores the theory, content, role and function of general principles in EU law to better understand general principles as a mechanism for the substantive openness of the EU legal order as well as for cross-fertilization and coherence of legal orders. Their potential as a tool to manage the interaction of legal regimes and orders is a particular focal point and will make this Handbook a must-read for scholars of EU Law.

Enriching Legal Doctrine
Marc Loth
Contemplating the nature, practice and study of private law, this comprehensive book offers a detailed overview of private law’s theoretical dimensions.

This thought-provoking book draws on examples from a range of legal systems to provide philosophical perspectives on the diverse dimensions of private law.

Cover Hashtag Jurisprudence
Hashtag Jurisprudence
Terror and Legality on Twitter
Cassandra Sharp
This thoroughly engaging book uses empirical analysis to illustrate that the response of individuals to global terror events, via social media, provokes an opportunity to interpret the ways in which individuals view their place in the world and their relation to law and justice. It is through analysing these responses that Cassandra Sharp demonstrates that a ‘hashtag jurisprudence’ can be constructed.

Cover Posthuman Legalities
Posthuman Legalities
New Materialism and Law Beyond the Human
Edited by Anna Grear, Emille Boulot, Iván D. Vargas-Roncancio, and Joshua Sterlin
How might law address the multiple crises of meaning intrinsic to global crises of climate, poverty, mass displacements, ecological breakdown, species extinctions and technological developments that increasingly complicate the very notion of 'life' itself? How can law embrace — in other words —the 'posthuman' condition — a condition in which non-human forces such as climate change and Covid-19 signal the impossibility of clinging to the existing imaginaries of Western legal systems and international law? This carefully curated book addresses these and related questions, bringing 'law beyond the human' (drawing on Indigenous legalities, life ways and ontologies) and New Materialist and Posthuman/ist approaches into stimulating proximity to each other.

Cover After Meaning
After Meaning
The Sovereignty of Forms in International Law
Jean d’Aspremont
Inspiring and distinctive, After Meaning provides a radical challenge to the way in which international law is thought and practised. Jean d’Aspremont asserts that the words and texts of international law, as forms, never carry or deliver meaning but, instead, perpetually defer meaning and ensure it is nowhere found within international legal discourse.

Cover Comparative Methods in Law, Humanities and Social Sciences
Comparative Methods in Law, Humanities and Social Sciences
Edited by Maurice Adams and Mark Van Hoecke
This cutting-edge book facilitates debate amongst scholars in law, humanities and social sciences, where comparative methodology is far less well anchored in most areas compared to other research methods. It posits that these are disciplines in which comparative research is not simply a bonus, but is of the essence.
