A Convenção sobre os Direitos das Pessoas com Deficiência (CRPD) modificou a forma de abordar a deficiência e isso refletiu em muitos institutos jurídicos tradicionais. Uma das mudanças mais revolucionárias e complexas decorre do artigo 12 que impõe a igualdade perante a lei. Esta dimensão da igualdade não é nova para o Direito. A inovação está na abolição da deficiência como critério mitigador da personalidade jurídica e da capacidade jurídica. O livro que apresentamos desenvolve a análise do artigo 12.o da CDPD e a sua interação com institutos relevantes do Direito Civil de países latino-americanos: Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Colômbia e Peru. Enfatiza os impactos no...

This book focuses on the history of the provision of legal aid and legal assistance to the poor in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in eight different countries. It is the first such book to bring together historical work on legal aid in a comparative perspective, and allows readers to analogise and contrast historical narratives about free legal aid across countries. Legal aid developed as a result of industrialisation, urbanization, immigration, the rise of philanthropy, and what were viewed as new legal problems. Closely related, was the growing professionalisation of lawyers and the question of what duties lawyers owed society to perform free work. Yet, legal aid providers in many countries included lay women and men, leading at times to tensions with the bar. Furthermore, legal aid often became deeply politicized, creating dramatic conflicts concerning the rights of the poor to have equal access to justice.

El presente libro consta de doscientas sesenta páginas en las que se condensan cada una de las figuras legales y jurisprudenciales que giran en torno a la familia, siempre desde el punto de vista jurídico-privado propio del Derecho Civil. En cuanto al contenido, se comienza con una visión de la familia, el parentesco y el Derecho de familia, para seguir con el análisis de la institución familiar por excelencia, el matrimonio, sin que por ello se hayan obviado nuevas modalidades familiares ajenas tales uniones. Especial atención merece el régimen legal de las crisis matrimoniales, así como sus importantes efectos personales y patrimoniales -sin obviar las de las parejas de hecho-. La llamada economía del matrimonio merece atención prioritaria en el libro por su trascendencia, así como el régimen económico de los gananciales, el más extendido en España. Finaliza la obra analizando la filiación, tanto su determinación como las acciones que se derivan de ella, estudiando el régimen de la patria potestad, la tutela, la curatela, la adopción y, finalmente, la figura del acogimiento familiar.
Car Safety Wars is a gripping history of the hundred-year struggle to improve the safety of American automobiles and save lives on the highways. Described as the “equivalent of war” by the Supreme Court, the battle involved the automobile industry, unsung and long-forgotten safety heroes, at least six US Presidents, a reluctant Congress, new auto technologies, and, most of all, the mindset of the American public: would they demand and be willing to pay for safer cars? The “Car Safety Wars” were at first won by consumers and safety advocates. The major victory was the enactment in 1966 of a ground breaking federal safety law. The safety act was pushed through Congress over the bitter ...
From her father, Danielle Trussoni learned the importance of rock and roll, how to avoid the cops and never to shy away from a fight. Growing up, she was fascinated by the stories he told of his adventures as a tunnel rat in Vietnam, where he risked his life crawling head-first into holes to search for American POW's held underground. Ultimately, Danielle came to realize that when the man she adored drank too much, beat up strangers or mistreated her mother, it was because the war inside his head would never be over. And eventually, when her mother and siblings walked away and washed their hands of Dan Trussoni, Danielle did not. As Danielle trails her father through nights of drinking, scor...
