The aim of this monograph is to describe and analyse the Czech regulation of evidence taking in its complexity and entirety. Since the monograph is primarily destined for foreign lawyers, not only the legal regulation but also its reflection by the Czech legal theory as well as judicial practice is examined. Thus, the added value of this publication is that it not only describes the legal regulation itself, but also demonstrates on numerous case law produced by Constitutional Court and Supreme Court its real functioning in daily judicial practice. This allows better understanding of how the whole system of evidence taking in the Czech civil procedure works. The publication offers an extensive summary and analysis of regulation of the Czech civil procedure related to the evidence taking. In order to ensure such complex approach, the first part of the monograph is dedicated to fundamental and general principles of the Czech civil procedure which are crucial for the regulation of various aspects of evidence taking. Since the concept of evidence may be different in various jurisdictions, the monograph also examines the value and importance of evidence in the Czech law as well as principles and standards of its collection and subsequent judicial evaluation. Due to the existing differences in various jurisdictions, special attention is dedicated especially to the written evidence and to the role and importance of experts and witnesses in judicial proceedings. The recent judicial practice often has to deal with foreign elements (foreign witness, document in foreign language etc.) in judicial proceedings. For this reason the publication also examines various aspects of translation and interpretation in Czech judicial proceedings. The attention is dedicated also to costs of proceedings. Covered are the principles on which the payment of costs is based as well as rules governing which party and to which extent will bear them. Last chapter examines the concept of “illegally obtained evidence” and “illegal evidence” in the Czech civil procedure. Thus, the focus is put on rules regulating which evidence is according to the Czech Civil Procedure Code as interpreted by Czech highest courts permissible in civil procedure.

In America's litigious society, everyone needs to know a few basics to avoid being snowed, cowed and generally abused. Even those who can afford to hire lawyers need to know what they are up to. This introduction to legal doctrines is a good first step if you want to file suit or help prepare your own legal defenses. When a conflict arises, what are the main doctrines of law that give one side an advantage? What do they mean, and how do they apply? When you can see through the legal jargon, the intimidation factor loses its power and you can concentrate on real issues.

Hellenismus ist nicht nur eine Epochenbezeichnung. Der Begriff wurde geprägt, um die wechselseitige Durchdringung von Orient und Okzident und die Verschmelzung der dominierenden griechischen Kultur mit anderen zu beschreiben. Anzeichen für eine lediglich oberflächliche Verbreitung der transformierten griechischen Kultur legen Vergleiche mit neuzeitlichen Kolonialgesellschaften nahe, auch wenn die hellenistischen Reiche kein Mutterland hatten. Die drei letzten vorchristlichen Jahrhunderte waren jedenfalls unstreitig von hoher Mobilität, intensiver Kulturbegegnung, von Symbiose und geistigem Austausch geprägt. Damals wurden die in der Polis entstandenen Ideen zu Herrschaft und Rechtsstaatlichkeit in großflächige Herrschaftsgebilde überführt und gingen später in die lateinische Literatur des römischen Imperiums und dann frühe christliche Gedankengebäude über. Die Frage, wie Konfliktlösung in einer dieser polyethnischen ostmediterranen Gesellschaft funktionierte, kann nur für Ägypten beantwortet werden, da allein hier in nennenswertem Umfang auch Alltagsschriftgut überliefert ist. Anhand der vielfältigen Rechtsschutzgesuche an unterschiedliche Autoritäten (Gerichte, Beamte, Vereinsvorstände) sowie anhand der wenigen Zeugnisse königlicher Regulierung der Rechtsschutzgewährung soll in dieser Untersuchung primär das Konfliktlösungsverhalten der griechischsprachigen Bevölkerungsschicht kartographiert werden, das sich durch die Vielfalt der Instanzen trotz grundlegender Untersuchungen zur Gerichtsorganisation (v.a. von Hans-Julius Wolff) noch immer unserem Verständnis entzieht. Um die bisherigen Ansätze zu überwinden, wird als Ausgangsthese angenommen, dass staatliche Eingriffe in die vorhandene Vielfalt der Konfliktlösungsinstanzen nur bei äußerem Zwang erfolgten und sie ansonsten der Selbstorganisation überlassen wurden.

Offering interdisciplinary insights from sociological, psychological and gender studies, this book addresses this question: how do professional, lay and gendered actors understand and experience case processing in litigation and mediation? Drawing on data from 131 interviews, questionnaires and observations of plaintiffs, defendants, lawyers and mediators involved in 64 fatality and medical injury cases, the book challenges dominant understandings of how formal legal processes and dispute resolution work in practice as well as the notion that disputants and their representatives broadly understand and want the same things during case processing. In juxtaposing actors' discourse on all sides of ongoing cases on issues such as expectations, needs, comprehensions of what plaintiffs seek from the legal system, objectives for resolving conflict at mediation, and perceptions of what occurs during attempts at case resolution, the findings reveal inherent problems with the core workings of the legal system.
