The year 2022 marks the 40th anniversary of the Report of the Insolvency Law Review Committee, one of the most comprehensive reviews of insolvency law in the United Kingdom ever undertaken. This has led to far-reaching reforms, which are still part of the legal infrastructure. The report and the committee are colloquially known as the Cork Report/Committee, after Sir Kenneth Cork, chairman of the committee and an influential figure in business, insolvency and civil society. This special issue of Contemporary Issues in Law provides an opportunity to assess the issues of modern economics and insolvency forty years after the publication of the Cork Report. Given Sir Kenneth Cork`s role as a leading figure in the public life, business and insolvency community of his time, the topics covered in this special issue are broadly diverse and do not focus solely on insolvency. They are taken from his autobiography Cork on Cork (published in 1988) and can be summarized in the following breakdown: Contemporary Issues in Law offers a new and exciting way to explore the changing dynamics of law. The journal is designed to cover a wide range of current issues that fall within the framework of a common theme. Each issue focuses on one topic. Subsequently, the effects of this topic on various areas of current legal interest are examined. In discussing different issues of contemporary legal interest in relation to a topic in this way, a number of seemingly distinct topics are brought together under the same thematic umbrella.
The result is a coherent framework that gives the reader a clear overview of the broader thematic influences on the law in general, while focusing more specifically on current manifestations of this influence, which is at work in some areas of current interest. NCSL addresses multi-year criminal justice issues and also provides information and analysis on current current topics of interest to legislators and their constituents, including issues such as marijuana; Trafficking in persons; the life of youth without the possibility of parole; Capital punishment; Law enforcement; drug-related crime policy; Mental health needs in the criminal justice system and other issues. Health care remains one of the main, if not the main, issues facing our country, and the guerrilla warfare that intensified significantly in 2009 during the review of the Affordable Care Act („ACA“) will continue in 2020. This war is being waged on many fronts, with constant battles over many issues related to ACA, Medicaid, surprising medical bills, drug prices and prices in general, and more generally in the upcoming elections. All branches of government are involved. The Trump administration has used almost every means imaginable to weaken the ACA and Medicaid, while lip service to ending horrors such as surprise settlements and astronomical prices. Of course, almost all administrative lawsuits result in numerous court challenges, and the courts have declared many measures illegal, especially when it comes to Medicaid — such as the imposition of a job application. Congressional action is hampered by shared control. Protecting our civil and constitutional rights is more important than ever. States are exploring ways to protect religious freedom, the application of foreign law in state courts, and a number of other issues related to our civil rights. (More) Criminal drug policy is an important and ongoing issue for state legislators.
Recently, legislators have reviewed their approach to certain drug-related offences. The amendments concerned conviction for drugs, synthetic drugs, pre-trial diversion, laws on the immunity of the Good Samaritan and expanding access to the rescue drug naloxone. (More) Editors are looking forward to ideas and suggestions for future topics, please ltp@lawtext.com by email – our framework guidelines for submissions can be found here and details on our open access policy here An important and overlapping area of criminal justice and health policy is the best treatment of people with mental illness who are involved in the criminal justice system. (More) Nationally, federal courts will make important decisions on issues that affect us all. At the top of the list is the protection of employees from abuse in the workplace. The U.S. Supreme Court will decide whether Title VII, passed half a century ago to protect employees from racial and gender discrimination, also protects members of the LGBTQ community from discrimination in the workplace. The Supreme Court will also rule on the future of abortion in our country. While the court will consider a Louisiana law requiring doctors who perform abortions to have hospital privileges, conservatives hope the Supreme Court will use the case as an opportunity to reconsider and overturn Roe v. Wade. In fact, in December 2019, about 200 members of Congress filed a brief with the Supreme Court urging it to do just that.
This case is particularly important because it makes no sense that the Supreme Court has accepted the case, as it removed an almost identical Texas law a few years earlier as a burden on the right to vote. The cannabis landscape is changing with legalization or decriminalization in many states. Details can be found on the pages to clarify criminal records for cannabis-related offenses, marijuana overview, and deep dive into marijuana. Global challenges at the international level include climate change and violence (including domestic violence) and their impact on the global displacement of people. As a result, courts around the world will continue to address issues related to immigrant rights. They will continue to examine whether asylum-seekers can be detained while their cases are being processed, as well as the conditions of their detention. Other topics concern trafficking in human beings and the involvement of companies in facilitating trafficking in human beings. All eyes are on an American case that will decide whether international hotel chains can be held responsible for human trafficking in hotels.
Advocates around the world are also looking for solutions to inequalities based on income, gender and race. Legislative documents: Refer to Hansard, bills and explanatory notes for guidelines and context for recent legislative changes. Last summer, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a series of new rules that increase the obligations of investment dealers and advisors. One example is the Best Interest Regulation, which imposes a new „best interest“ obligation on brokers. Most of the rules will come into effect in mid-2020 and the industry is preparing to comply with them. The rules are highly controversial and many investor representatives feel they do not go far enough. Also, the rules are being challenged in court and there is some chance that they will be deported, meaning the SEC would have to start all over again. In addition to the measures taken at federal level, the Länder have also been involved. Several states, including New Jersey, have proposed rules to increase tariffs on financial service providers that go beyond what is required at the federal level.
Stay tuned for new state laws that attempt to be submitted to the SEC on these issues. Rutgers law professors are national experts in a number of fields and are widely used in these fields. Recently, they have addressed some of the most important legal issues that will be discussed and debated over the next year. LGBTQ rights, election issues, generic availability, environmental concerns, health care, immigration and human trafficking, and others are legal developments to watch in 2020. Abstracts from scientists and experts in the fields of business and insolvency are invited to contribute to this special issue. Expressions of interest or questions must be asked by Friday, September 15. July 2022 by email to Blanca Mamutse b.c.mamutse@ljmu.ac.uk be sent. The final selection will be confirmed by July 29. The deadline for complete draft documents (7,500 to 10,500 words) is October 28, 2022.
Over the past 20 years, DNA analysis has become one of the most effective law enforcement tools in the fight against crime. DNA analysis allows lab staff to match biological samples of suspects with crime scenes, crime scenes with other crime scenes, and even crime scenes with family members of suspects. DNA analysis has attracted the attention of lawmakers because it is able to help law enforcement reduce crime, capture repeat offenders and exonerate people wrongfully convicted of crimes. (More) Today, society expects (much) more from companies than simply maximizing financial returns. Governments around the world are introducing new laws to require companies to do their due diligence to better understand the environmental, social and human rights impacts of their supply chains and to publicly report on their findings. On the private side, we are finding that there is a growing emphasis on whether the values of this company align with my own values as a consumer, employee or investor. This year, we should pay close attention to how these rapidly changing expectations actually translate into better corporate behavior towards people and the planet. In my own work, I will explore how we can (and not yet) hold companies accountable for the financial, ethical, or value-based promises they make to their stakeholders beyond that. The Volkswagen emissions scandal in 2015 was extremely important in highlighting the importance of non-financial promises, but we are far from where we need to be when it comes to having an effective accountability framework for companies that make ethical promises and break them.
