Elisa Morgera. Corporate accountability in international environmental law. Oxford University Press, 2009. K3585.M67 2009
This book examines systematically all international sources of corporate accountability standards with specific reference to environmental protection and elaborates on their theoretical and practical implications for international environmental law. The book argues that although international environmental law does not bind multinational corporations and other business entities, growing international practice points to the emergence of legal standards. These standards allow adapting and translating inter-State obligations embodied in international environmental law into specific normative benchmarks to determine the legitimacy of the conduct of the private sector against internationally recognized values and rules.

Sean G. Overland. The juror factor : race and gender in America's civil courts. LFB Scholarly Pub., 2009. KF8972.O94 2009
This book examines how jurors reach their verdicts in complex civil trials. In particular, the book explores the relationship between "juror factors"--that is, jurors' race, gender, income, education and personal beliefs--and verdicts. While most research has found no link between verdicts and "juror factors," this book, using new, previously unavailable data, argues that the composition of a jury can have a strong effect on the outcome of a trial. The book also explores the implications of this relationship for jury selection procedures and tort reform proposals. The book's final chapter offers a glimpse behind the closed doors of the jury room and a look at the effects of jury deliberations. |
