An Indigenous leader who has dedicated her life to Indigenous Rights, Jody Wilson-Raybould has represented both First Nations and the Crown at the highest levels.

Apostolos G. Chronopoulos examines the doctrine of misappropriation offering a comprehensive and critical review of the relevant case law that takes into consideration the rich academic commentary on the topic. In the INS case, the Supreme Court held that a news agency may enjoin third parties from copying its news stories while these are still 'fresh'. Chronopoulos seeks to clarify the heavily debated doctrinal issues that have since arisen as to: the exact legal nature of the recognized entitlement; whether the Supreme Court sought to establish a principle of general application; and the extent to which state claims to protect valuable intangibles under a common-law theory of liability survive federal preemption.

Non-Fiscal Tax Policies and State Sovereignty identifies and analyses certain 'waves' of regulatory and redistributive tax policies whose enactment or discussion has presented similar features among several nation states.

A TORONTO STAR BESTSELLER From the bestselling author of The Concubine's Children and The Girl in the Picture, a gripping story of a domestic assault that shocked the world, of the exercise of power and political influence, and of the Bangladeshi woman whose irrepressible spirit found light in sudden darkness. From the outside, Rumana seemed an unlikely victim of domestic abuse: married to a man of her own choosing and progressing in her career as a professor of international relations at Dhaka University.

A powerful argument for the essential role of morality in law, getting at the heart of key debates in public life. What is law? And how does it relate to morality? It's common to think that law and morality are different ways of regulating our lives. But Scott Hershovitz says that this is a mistake: law is a part of our moral lives. It's a tool we use to adjust our moral relationships. The legal claims we advance in court, Hershovitz argues, are moral claims. And our legal conflicts are moral conflicts. Law Is a Moral Practice supplies fresh answers to fundamental questions about the nature of law and helps us better appreciate why we disagree about law so deeply.
