Notarier och beredningsjurister vid tingsrätter arbetar med tvistemål i stor utsträckning. I många fall handlägger de målen självständigt från stämningsansökan till dom. I andra fall gör de inhopp i ordinarie domares mål. Ofta stöter notarien eller beredningsjuristen på praktiska problem i hanteringen av målen.
Notarietvistemål är en praktisk handbok med ambitionen att ge svar på de frågor som kan dyka upp vid handläggningen av T-mål och FT-mål. Exempel på sådant som behandlas i boken är vad man gör när en part är i konkurs, om ett FT-mål kan ändras till att bli ett T-mål och vice versa, vilka frågor man bör ställa vid en muntlig förberedelse samt när man ska meddela inhibition. I denna fjärde upplaga har ett stort antal ändringar och tillägg gjorts.
Notarietvistemål vänder sig i första hand till notarier och beredningsjurister vid tingsrätter. Även mer erfarna jurister kommer att ha utbyte av boken.

”Jag vill berätta från insidan om de människor jag mött. Om de skyldiga och de oskyldiga. Om hur smal livets väg ibland kan vara. Om skuld och ansvar i en värld där allt inte kan beskrivas som svart eller vitt. Om människorna bakom rubrikerna.
Jag vill också berätta om livet som försvarsadvokat. Om mina tankar och moraliska dilemman. Om att försvara dem som lever på livets skuggsida, men också dem som aldrig trott att de skulle behöva anlita en försvarare. Om att faktiskt försöka hjälpa någon som många hatar och föraktar. Om en tid i stormens öga.”
Advokat Johan Eriksson blev känd för allmänheten när han försvarade Rakhmat Akilov efter terrordådet på Drottninggatan. Det här är hans historia om livet som advokat, skildrat genom en rad olika fall som på olika sätt belyser rättvisans svårfångade väsen.

I Handbok för försvarare delar advokat Johan Eriksson med sig av de erfarenheter och tips han samlat på sig under sina många år i domstolar. En nyutexaminerad jurist har kanske några få rättegångsspel under universitetsstudierna som erfarenhet att luta sig mot, men egentligen ingen praktisk träning alls inför vardagen på en brottmålsbyrå. Tanken är i stället att juristen ska drillas genom praktiskt arbete under de tre år som krävs för att bli advokat och därmed kunna ta vilket försvararuppdrag som helst. Boken ska vara en praktisk vägledning för försvarare hela vägen från första mötet med klienten, genom processens alla faser. Boken vänder sig till advokater, jurister och juriststudenter, som ett praktiskt komplement till en annars väldigt teoretisk utbildning. Även för den som processar i domstol i andra ärenden än brottmål finns ett och annat matnyttigt. Du kan läsa boken från pärm till pärm men också använda den som uppslagsbok och läsa om den fas i processen där du och din klient befinner er för tillfället. Förhoppningen är att du när du läst Handbok för försvarare ska känna dig tryggare i rollen som försvarare i brottmål.

Att sitta ting kan vara en omtumlande upplevelse, särskilt till en början. Många nyblivna notarier är obekanta med hur en domstol fungerar i praktiken och måste snabbt lära sig vilka krav som ställs och varför. Även om det finns äldre notarier, beredningsjurister, fiskaler, rådmän och domstolshandläggare som kan ge stöd i det dagliga arbetet, gör brist på både tid och resurser att notarien måste komma underfund med mycket på egen hand. Syftet med denna bok är därför att underlätta den nyanställde notariens tillvaro och ge en handfast introduktion till notariearbetet. Boken tar fasta på allmänna grunder för notariens arbete och sådant som i regel tar upp en stor del av notariens tid, bland annat
bemötande och uppträdande mot allmänheten och i rätten föredragning och föredragningsteknik votering författande av domar och beslut.Handboken innehåller även en praktisk ordlista.

Juridisk genomslagskraft är en bok om konsten att övertyga muntligt som jurist. Den är varken en juridisk lärobok eller en traditionell retorisk handbok, utan en bok som försöker kombinera olika ämneskunskaper, tankeformer och traditioner. Hur använder man sig av sina juridiska kunskaper muntligt? Hur agerar man som jurist inför åhörare? Hur får man som jurist genomslagskraft? Sådana frågor besvaras här. Boken är indelad i korta kapitel, vilka kan läsas oberoende av varandra. I varje kapitel tematiseras en viss aspekt av juridisk genomslagskraft, såsom yrkesmässig identitet och självpresentation, förståelse för åhörarna, perspektiv på ämnet, konsten att (inte) svara på frågor, muntlighetens särdrag, kroppsuppfattning och språkliga finesser. Kapitlen rör sig från juristens utmaningar över teoretiska överväganden till konkreta tekniker och verktyg. Läsaren utmanas fortlöpande genom praktiska övningar. Boken vänder sig till alla jurister som använder sig av sina juridiska kunskaper muntligt och offentligt, oavsett om det är som processförare, föredragshållare, ordförande, förhandlare eller på annat sätt. Både en erfaren jurist och en nybliven juridikstuderande kan ha nytta av bokens reflektioner och praktiska råd. Bokens form och innehåll är nytänkande, genom att teoretiskt djup ligger till grund för tillämpbara råd som presenteras på ett lättillgängligt sätt. Bokens danska författare, juristen Inger Høedt-Rasmussen och retorikern Jonas Gabrielsen, har båda vunnit priser för sin undervisning. De undervisar och coachar på universitet, i det privata näringslivet och i advokatbranschen. Boken är översatt till svenska och bearbetad för svenska förhållanden av juristen och retorikern Eric Bylander.

»En fascinerande inblick i Breviks tänkande och de svåra moraliska avvägandena i arbetet att företräda honom.« EXPRESSEN»En mycket stark bok, med en debatt som vi måste våga ta.« KRISTIANSTADSBLADETGeir Lippestad var Anders Behring Breiviks huvudförsvarare i rättegångarna efter attacken mot regeringskvarteren och massakern på AUF:s sommarläger i juli 2011. Det vi kan stå för beskriver rättegången ur hans perspektiv.Lippestad inleder boken med att skildra hur han kör till sitt sista möte med Breivik efter rättegångens slut, för att sedan gå tillbaka till frågan om vad som fick honom att åta sig uppdraget. Därefter beskriver han hela rättegångsförloppet, med personliga reflektioner och utvikningar som ger en fördjupad bild av skeendet och hans hållning som försvars.Lippestad resonerar inte minst kring de svåra moraliska utmaningar som han och de andra försvarsadvokaterna stötte på i sitt arbete. Det vi kan stå för är därför ingen renodlad rättegångsskildring, utan också en bok om människovärde och demokrati, och om juristens roll i det rättssamhälle som måste omfatta alla till och med de som vill förgöra det.GEIR LIPPESTAD [född 1964] är den norska advokat som den 23 juli 2011 på den åtalades egen begäran tog på sig att vara försvarsadvokat åt Anders Behring Breivik, den värsta massmördaren i Norges historia. Inledningsvis bemöttes han med misstänksamhet: Vad var det för sorts människa som till synes utan betänkligheter kunde tacka ja till ett sådant uppdrag?Mediepressen under rättegången var enorm, både från norska och utländska medier. Lippestad valde att bemöta journalisterna med vad han kallar värdebaserad kommunikation. I slutet av året valdes han till »Årets person« i flera av Norges rikstäckande tidningar.»En fascinerande inblick i Breviks tänkande och de svåra moraliska avvägandena i arbetet att företräda honom.« KARIN OLSSON, EXPRESSEN»Ett innerligt, lågmält, välformulerat och intelligent försvarstal för demokratin. En mycket stark bok, med en debatt som vi måste våga ta.« ÅSA CARLSSON, KRISTIANSTADSBLADET»Lippestad ska ha beröm för att han erkänner både sina tvivel kring uppdraget och sina felsteg under det. Det visar hur unikt vansklig denna händelse har varit att hantera, även för de professionella.« VERDENS GANG»Lippestad argumenterar skickligt mot rasism och främlingsfientlighet, för jämlikhet och rättvisa.« MORGENBLADET

Why do many social programs have such a poor track record? What can we do to maximize a program's chance of success? If a program shows promise, how can we scale it up? To answer these questions confronting policymakers, and to ensure that strong programs are designed, developed, implemented, and taken to scale, appropriate evaluation approaches must be used throughout a program's life cycle. In The Oxford Handbook on Program Design and Implementation Evaluation, Dr. Anu Rangarajan surfaces insights and expertise from a team of eminent scholars to create a comprehensive and actionable toolbox of evaluation methodologies that can be used to examine social programs throughout their life cycle. The methodologies presented in the Handbook describe how to conduct developmental evaluations, perform rapid-cycle evaluations, employ implementation science concepts, assess program effectiveness in the absence of a true counterfactual, measure cost-effectiveness, scale up promising interventions, and assess systems change. Incorporating these approaches at every stage of a program's life cycle will maximize its chances of success; doing so consistently across social programs will help improve their impact overall. This Handbook is an action-oriented primary resource for social researchers, faculty and students, program practitioners, policy analysts, and funders of social programs and evaluations. By providing real-world examples of each approach alongside methodological guidance, and by highlighting challenges and lessons learned, the Handbook is invaluable to novices and seasoned professionals alike.

This book takes the reader on a sweeping tour of the international legal field to reveal some of the patterns of difference, dominance, and disruption that belie international law's claim to universality. Pulling back the curtain on the "divisible college of international lawyers," Anthea Roberts shows how international lawyers in different states, regions, and geopolitical groupings are often subject to distinct incoming influences and outgoing spheres of influence in ways that reflect and reinforce differences in how they understand and approach international law. These divisions manifest themselves in contemporary controversies, such as debates about Crimea and the South China Sea.Not all approaches to international law are created equal, however. Using case studies and visual representations, the author demonstrates how actors and materials from some states and groups have come to dominate certain transnational flows and forums in ways that make them disproportionately influential in constructing the "international." This point holds true for Western actors, materials, and approaches in general, and for Anglo-American (and sometimes French) ones in particular. However, these patterns are set for disruption. As the world moves past an era of Western dominance and toward greater multipolarity, it is imperative for international lawyers to understand the perspectives and approaches of those coming from diverse backgrounds. By taking readers on a comparative tour of different international law academies and textbooks, the author encourages them to see the world through the eyes of others -- an essential skill in this fast changing world of shifting power dynamics and rising nationalism.

During the first two decades of the twenty-first century, the United States and much of the developed world were rocked by three successive economic shocks, each one more severe than the one before. Real relief from these economic shocks, of course, can only come from a restored economy--with balanced strength across many sectors and regions. Safety-net programs can also help alleviate this suffering. They provide urgent financial help and, when properly designed, can assist, motivate, or nudge recipients to seek and accept new employment. When necessary, they can help recipients to learn new skills and engage in other socially preferred behaviors. That is, they can "activate" the unemployed and underemployed.Work and the Social Safety Net: Labor Activation in Europe and the United States describes how in the 1990s and early 2000s many European countries adopted policy reforms aimed at activating those recipients apparently able to work. These policy reforms were put to the test during the Great Recession and its aftermath. This volume reviews the experiences from both Europe and the United States during this period, and includes two chapters apiece on unemployment insurance, social assistance, disability, public employment services, and political economy. Work and the Social Safety Net identifies policies for activating recipients of safety-net programs while still preserving a strong social safety net--as a guide during the economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and future downturns.

In Point Taken, Ross Guberman delves into the work of the best judicial opinion-writers and offers a step-by-step method based on practical and provocative examples. Featuring numerous cases and opinions from 35 prolific judges - from Learned Hand to Antonin Scalia - Point Taken, explores what it takes to turn "great judicial writing" into "great writing". Guberman provides a system for crafting effective and efficient openings to set the stage, covering the pros and cons of whether to resolve legal issues up front and whether to sacrifice taut syllogistic openings in the name of richness and nuance. Guberman offers strategies for pruning clutter, adding background, emphasizing key points, adopting a narrative voice, and guiding the reader through visual cues. The structure and flow of the legal analysis is targeted through a host of techniques for organizing the discussion at the macro level, using headings, marshaling authorities, including or avoiding footnotes, and finessing transitions. Guberman shares his style "Must Haves", a bounty of edits at the word and sentence level that add punch and interest, and that make opinions more vivid, varied, confident, and enjoyable. He also outlines his style "Nice to Haves", metaphors, similes, examples, analogies, allusions, and rhetorical figures. Finally, he addresses the thorny problem of dissents, extracting the best practices for dissents based on facts, doctrine, or policy. The appendix provides a helpful checklist of practice pointers along with biographies of the 35 featured judges.

There is no book of political strategy more canonical than Niccolò Machiavelli's The Prince, but few ethicists would advise policymakers to treat it as a bible. The lofty ideals of the law, especially, seem distant from the values that the word "Machiavellian" connotes, and judges are supposed to work above the realm of politics. In The Judge, however, Ronald Collins and David Skover argue that Machiavelli can indeed speak to judges, and model their book after The Prince. As it turns out, the number of people who think that judges in the U.S. are apolitical has been shrinking for decades. Both liberals and conservatives routinely criticize their ideological opponents on the bench for acting politically. Some authorities even posit the impossibility of apolitical judges, and indeed, in many states, judicial elections are partisan. Others advocate appointing judges who are committed to being dispassionate referees adhering to the letter of the law. However, most legal experts, regardless of their leanings, seem to agree that despite widespread popular support for the ideal of the apolitical judge, this ideal is mere fantasy.This debate about judges and politics has been a perennial in American history, but it intensified in the 1980s, when the Reagan administration sought to place originalists in the Supreme Court. It has not let up since. Ronald Collins and David Skover argue that the debate has become both stale and circular, and instead tackle the issue in a boldly imaginative way. In The Judge, they ask us to assume that judges are political, and that they need advice on how to be effective political actors. Their twenty-six chapters track the structure of The Prince, and each provides pointers to judges on how to cleverly and subtly advance their political goals. In this Machiavellian vision, law is inseparable from realpolitik. However, the authors' point isn't to advocate for this coldly realistic vision of judging. There ultimate goal is identify both legal realists and originalists as what they are: explicitly political (though on opposite ends of the ideological spectrum). Taking its cues from Machiavelli, The Judge describes what judges actually do, not what they ought to do.

No occupation in America supplies a greater proportion of leaders than law. They obviously lead law firms, but they also sit at the helm of a vast and diverse array of businesses across America, including 10 percent of S & P 500 firms. And of course, a strikingly large percentage of our political leaders are attorneys, including half the members of Congress. This raises two obvious questions: why do we look to lawyers to lead, and why do so many of them prove to be so untrustworthy and unprepared? In Lawyers as Leaders, eminent law professor Deborah Rhode not only answers these questions but crafts an essential manual for attorneys who need to develop better leadership skills. She contends that the legal profession attracts a large number of individuals with the ambition and analytic capabilities to be leaders, but often fails to develop other qualities that are essential to their effectiveness. The focus of legal education and the reward structure of legal practice undervalue the interpersonal skills and ethical commitments necessary for successful leadership. Although some lawyers are sufficiently gifted to need little reinforcement, Rhode shows that the vast majority of law school graduates need to develop the leadership characteristics that she profiles. They know it too. According to one survey, almost 90 percent of attorneys stated that their law schools did not teach them leadership skills.Given the importance of the topic, it is surprising how little the profession has done to develop leadership skills. The first serious treatment of the subject, Lawyers as Leaders will be essential to law school instructors who teach leadership courses (a growing field) and any attorney who finds him or herself in a management position.

International law is usually communicated in more than one language and reflects common norms that lawyers and adjudicators across national legal cultures agree on and develop together. As a result, the negotiation of the wording and meaning of international legislative texts is an integral part of legal interpretation in international law. This book sheds light on that essential interpretation process. Language and Legal Interpretation in International Law treats the subject from the perspective of recent legal and linguistic theories of meaning. Anne Lise Kjær and Joanna Lam bring together internationally renowned experts to provide strong theoretical and practical foundations for the study of legal interpretation in such fields as human rights law, international trade, investment and commercial law, EU law, and international criminal law. The volume explains how the positivist tradition--in which interpretation is understood as an automatic process by which judges simply apply the text of legislative instruments to specific fact situations--cannot be upheld in an era of pragmatic and cognitive meaning theories. Those theories instead focus on the context of interpretation and on the interpreter as a co-producer of meaning. Through a collection of thoroughly researched and timely essays, this book explores the linguistically and culturally diversified world of meaning-making in international law.

All social work practice, from intervention to how payments or reimbursements are made, is regulated by social policies. Professionals, however, cannot arbitrarily select which policy to follow in any circumstance; knowing what comprises a given policy is essential, but equally important is understanding how to amend a policy by applying unique skills that reflect the social work profession's shared values and beliefs. Recognizing that a series of interdependentsocial policies govern every aspect of social work in both nonprofit and public organizations, this practice-specific textbook focuses on influencing social policies in an agency setting or through formal governmental processes. The Handbook for Policy Practice explores a wide range of topics that are critical tools in every social worker's policy practice repertoire: · Recognizing the various social justice theories and their role in social policy.· Understanding critical thinking as a practice skill.· Social media as a practice tool.· Preparing and presenting testimony to a legislative committee or group of people. · Formulating a clear, well-focused written policy brief for a Board of Directors or legislative committee.· Organizing policy specific advocacy activities including a public forum, social work day at the legislature, and voter registration projects.· The "30-second elevator speech."· Writing newspaper "op-eds" and "letters to the editor." Purposefully, the Handbook also relies on information comes from the digital world. Using the web as a primary source builds on the social work profession's long-held belief to begin where the client is. Using the links to the various data and citation sources, readers will learn to identify and discern the features of a valid web site. As a whole, this book is an essential resource for all BSW and MSW students.

The term "gender" was first distinguished from "sex" in the 1950s when psychologists began to discuss the idea of "gender roles," behaviors and responsibilities given to people by a society rather than flowing from their biology. Since then, leaders across disciplines have sought to better understand the roles of biology, psychology, and culture on gender. New language has emerged alongside rich scientific inquiry and research. Increased visibility of transgender and nonbinary communities has brought awareness to a range of gender diverse experiences, while legal battles, wage disparities, and health inequities continue to prove gender's relevancy in today's world. In this book, Laura Erickson-Schroth and Benjamin Davis guide readers through the knowns and unknowns of gender, asking questions such as: What is the difference between sex, gender identity, and gender expression? Were ancient societies matriarchal? How different are male and female brains, really? What role does language play in the ways we think about gender? What do we know about sex and gender in non-human species? What are the current frontiers in gender equality?Gender: What Everyone Needs to Know® is an easy-to-read guide that takes readers on a much-needed tour of perspectives on gender and identity in the 21st century. The book is written in a question-and-answer format, and Erickson-Schroth and Davis cover topics such as current definitions; the history of gender as concept; the role of biology, psychology, and culture on gender; and gender norms over time and across the globe.

As a result of globalization, cross-border transactions and litigation, and multilingual legislation, outsourcing legal translation has become common practice. Unfortunately, over-reliance on such outsourcing has given rise to significant dangers, including information asymmetry, goal divergence, and risk.Legal Translation Outsourced provides the only current reference on commercial legal translation performed outside institutions. Juliette Scott casts a critical eye on the practice as it now stands, offering an analysis of key risks and constraints. Her work is informed by empirical data of the legal translation outsourcing markets of 41 countries. Scott proposes original theoretical models aimed both at training legal translators and informing all stakeholders, including principals and agents. These include models of legal translation performance; a classification of constraints on legal translation applying upstream, during and downstream of translation work; and a description of the complex chain of supply. Working to improve the enterprise itself, Scott shows how implementing a comprehensive legal translation brief--a sorely needed template--can significantly benefit clients by increasing the fitness of translated texts. Further, she opens a number of avenues for future research with an eye to translator empowerment and professionalization.

Will Donald trump international law? Since Trump's Administration took office, this question has haunted almost every issue area of international law. One of our leading international lawyers-a former Legal Adviser of the US State Department, Assistant Secretary of State for Human Rights, and Yale Law Dean-argues that President Trump has thus far enjoyed less success than many believe, because he does not own the pervasive "transnational legal process" that governs these issue areas. This book shows how those opposing Trump's policies during his administration's first two years have successfully triggered that process as part of a collective counter-strategy akin to Muhammad Ali's "rope-a-dope." The book surveys immigration and refugee law, human rights, climate change, denuclearization, trade diplomacy, relations with North Korea, Russia and Ukraine, America's "Forever War" against Al Qaeda and the Islamic State, and the ongoing tragedy in Syria. Koh's tour d'horizon illustrates the many techniques that players in the transnational legal process have used to blunt Trump's early initiatives. The high stakes of this struggle, and its broader implications for the future of global governance-now challenged by the rise of populist authoritarians-make this exhausting counter-strategy both worthwhile and necessary.

Now in its fourth edition, this text provides extensive information on the value base for advocacy; an examination of why people get involved in advocacy; and step-by-step instructions for social workers and others who want to impactlaws, regulations, and policies at any level. Bearing in mind the National Association of Social Workers' Code of Ethics' requirements to advocate on behalf of vulnerable populations, readers learn that advocacy is a problem-solving technique similar to that used in social work practice of all types. The bookmoves through the stages of advocacy: getting involved; understanding the issue; planning; advocating through education, persuasion, and negotiation; presenting information effectively; monitoring and evaluating results; and integrating advocacy into a social worker's everyday practice. The fourth edition's inclusion of new topics and solid foundation in social work values make it a must-read as social work students and practitioners work diligently to maintain the profession's focus onsuccessful advocacy for social justice.

By any measure, the law as a profession is in serious trouble. Americans' trust in lawyers is at a low, and many members of the profession wish they had chosen a different path. Law schools, with their endlessly rising tuitions, are churning out too many graduates for the jobs available. Yet despite the glut of lawyers, the United States ranks 67th (tied with Uganda) of 97 countries in access to justice and affordability of legal services. The upper echelons of the legal establishment remain heavily white and male. Most problematic of all, the professional organizations that could help remedy these concerns instead jealously protect their prerogatives, stifling necessary innovation and failing to hold practitioners accountable. In light of these circumstances, it is unsurprising that law ranked the lowest of ten occupations in a 2013 Pew survey of which profession or occupation contributes the most to society's well being.Deborah Rhode's The Trouble with Lawyers is a comprehensive account of the challenges facing the American bar. She examines how the problems have affected (and originated within) law schools, firms, and governance institutions like bar associations; the impact on the justice system and access to lawyers for the poor; and the profession's underlying difficulties with diversity. She uncovers the structural problems, from the tyranny of law school rankings and billable hours to the legal profession's almost entirely reactive response to claims of misconduct-all of which do a disservice to lawyers, their clients, and the public.A clear and pointed account of a profession that has gone badly off the rails, The Trouble with Lawyers is both an essential guide to America's legal crisis and a tool that can help fix it.

The Encyclopedia of Macro Social Work (EOMSW), edited by prominent scholars Terry Mizrahi and Darlyne Bailey, updates and expands upon all of the macro content in the field-defining Encyclopedia of Social Work to create a multi-volume work unlike any other. The EOMSW includes nearly 200 long-form overview articles, written by 334 diverse authors and peer-reviewed by a 13-member editorial board, that address macro practice methods (i.e. organizations, community, and policy), as well as macro theories, concepts, ideologies, problems, and contexts relating to macro social work. All articles typically cover the history and context of a given topic; challenges and opportunities for social workers; future trends and directions; and relevant issues that advance social, racial, environmental, political, and economic justice. The inaugural print edition of the EOMSW is destined to become an essential resource for the field: there is simply no similar work available that takes this sort of wide-ranging, expansive view of all that macro social work encompasses. It is a must-read guide to the field for educators, researchers, students, and practitioners who are located in organizational, community, and/or policy practice settings. Co-published with National Association of Social Workers Press.
