This volume brings together leading experts on the investigation, litigation and scholarly analysis of innocence cases in America, from legal, political and ethical perspectives. The contributors consider the challenges faced by the exoneration movement, causes of wrongful convictions, problems associated with investigating, proving, and defining 'innocence', and theories of reform. These issues are investigated from a multi-disciplinary perspective and with the aim of improving the American criminal justice system when it is faced with its most harrowing sight: an innocent defendant.

Destruction and human remains investigates a crucial question frequently neglected in academic debate in the fields of mass violence and genocide studies: what is done to the bodies of the victims after they are killed? In the context of mass violence, death does not constitute the end of the executors' work. Their victims' remains are often treated and manipulated in very specific ways, amounting in some cases to true social engineering, often with remarkable ingenuity. To address these seldom-documented phenomena, this volume includes chapters based on extensive primary and archival research

"This collection presents and analyzes inquest records that tell the stories of ordinary Korean people under the Chosŏn court (1392-1910). Extending the study of this period, usually limited to elites, into the realm of everyday life, each inquest record includes a detailed postmortem examination and features testimony from everyone directly or indirectly related to the incident. The result is an amazingly vivid, colloquial account of the vibrant, multifaceted societal and legal cultures of early modern Korea. Sun Joo Kim is the Harvard-Yenching Professor of Korean History at Harvard University. Jungwon Kim is assistant professor of Korean history at Columbia University; 'This book provides an extremely rare view into social interactions among people of quite different classes in Chosŏn Korea. Points of interest abound'--Robert E. Hegel, Washington University, St. Louis; 'This is an important contribution that significantly advances our knowledge of nineteenth-century Korean legal history. The translated cases shine by being able to introduce daily struggles of non-elites and illustrate the complex dynamics of the judiciary system during the last century of the Chosŏn dynasty'--Jisoo Kim, George Washington University"--

Les matières du droit des obligations, du droit des contrats (civils et commerciaux, mais également de consommation) et de la responsabilité civile sont devenues éminemment complexes, notamment en raison du traitement spécifique qu’offrent désormais de nombreuses législations à certaines problématiques qui étaient à l’origine régies par les seuls codes civil et de commerce. Au corpus generalis que renferment ces derniers codes s’ajoute, en effet, désormais un nombre croissant de dispositifs normatifs ± sur mesure » qui les adaptent, les complètent ou en excluent purement et simplement l’application.0Mis à jour au 1er août 2014, le présent recueil, pratique et pédagogique, rassemble les principales législations couvrant ces trois matières et ce, tant dans leurs aspects de droit matériel que de droit procédural. Afin qu’il demeure aisément maniable, les codes publiés (Code civil, Code de droit économique, Code de commerce, Code des droits d’enregistrement et de greffe, Code judiciaire, Code pénal, etc.) sont ici cités par ± extraits pertinents » et les textes non codifiés qui en forment le complément nécessaire sont ensuite classés par verbis, sous une partie ± Lois particulières ».
