Depuis l’abolition de la monarchie absolue en 1932, le royaume a connu des situations politiques variées : les activités « contre-révolutionnaires » des royalistes ; l’arrivée au pouvoir des militaires ; l’émergence de nouvelles classes politiques ; les massacres de civils ; les compromis entre les militaires, les royalistes et les progressistes ; l’incertitude sur l’avenir du royaume et de la couronne... L’échec de la transition démocratique thaïlandaise est expliqué généralement par un argument convenu : l’immaturité de la société thaïlandaise ; la démocratie libérale de type occidental ne serait pas appropriée pour le pays, notamment pour des « pauvres ruraux ignorants » ; l’armée est le seul acteur capable d’encadrer le développement d’une démocratie. Pourtant, cette étude présente une explication alternative ; elle démontre que la vie politique du royaume est déterminée par trois axes du pouvoir : les élites traditionnelles, dont la monarchie, l’armée et la haute fonction publique ; c’est cette situation qui explique l’échec du progrès démocratique. Et le coup d’État est la méthode préférée pour protéger le statu quo ; quant à la constitution thaïlandaise est semblable à une « lettre morte » ou à un « instrument de la politique au quotidien » ; elle ne représente plus la norme suprême qui exprime l’idéologie politique du pays ; au contraire, elle est utilisée non seulement pour légitimer a posteriori un coup d’État, mais également pour défendre la domination politique des groupes dominants. Nous pouvons donc conclure que le coup d’État thaïlandais est déclenché par l’armée royale avec l’appui de la monarchie et son réseau de conseillers ; puis, il est justifié par le roi et le judiciaire, en assurant l’impunité de ses auteurs par les lois et la constitution.

Since the abolition of absolute monarchy in 1932, the kingdom has experienced the various political situations: the ‘counter-revolution’ of the royalists, the dictatorial regime, the emergence of the new middle classes, the massacres of civilians, the political compromise, the uncertainty about the future of the kingdom and the crown… The failure of a transition to democracy is usually explained by the usual arguments: the political immaturity of Thai society, the ‘Western-style liberal democracy’ would not be appropriate for the country especially for ‘the ignorant masses’, the army is the only actor, who capable to promote democracy. However, this study presents an alternative explanation. It demonstrates that the political life of the kingdom is determined by three axes of power: traditional elites, including the monarchy, the army and the senior civil servant. It is this situation that explains the failure of the democratic process. And the coup is the traditional method to protect their status quo. As for the constitution, it is similar to a ‘dead letter’ or an ‘instrument of everyday politics’. It isn’t represented as supreme norm that expresses the country’s political ideology. On the contrary, it is used not only to legitimize a coup, but also to…

▼ This study has made an effort to investigate the effects of traditional family arbitration and legal divorce on divorcees and their children. For its methodological convenience qualitative method and non-probability purposive sampling techniques have been employed. Study participants have been divorcees, their children and reconciled spouses after opening of file for divorce in the court. The last five years (2010-2014) petition provided for divorce, divorced and reconciled spouses data has been used as point of observation. In addition to in-depth interview FGD, key informants’ interview and document analysis was done. Principal causes, prevalence, and effects of divorce, legal grounds of family arbitration, appointment and removal of arbitrators, composition and roles of arbitrators have been critically addressed to identify effects of traditional family arbitration. Moreover, fundamental reason of the court when redirecting the case of spouses for arbitration has been assessed to know the advantages of traditional family arbitration for divorcees and their children. Divorce is negatively affecting the social, economic and psychological status of divorcees and their children. Traditional family arbitration is believed to be the most effective and efficient conflict resolution mechanism among spouses. Principal effects of arbitration on disputing spouses and their children are protecting unstable families from disintegration, children separating from their parents, protects likely social evils related to divorce, reduces resource and time wastage of both litigating spouses and the court and shares court case overload. Potential challenges of arbitration are community’s lack of understanding about gender equality, rights and interests of women, marginalizing women from arbitration process, biased belief of women as if arbitration always favoring for men in their expense, and passing decisions in favor of men in the case common property management and parenting styles Advisors/Committee Members: Tenagne Alemu (PhD) (advisor).

▼ Foundation Chief Justice of Van Diemen’s Land, Sir John Lewes Pedder (1793-1859) was appointed by the Colonial Office to administer English law in the colony from 1824. As an official member of the Executive and Legislative Councils, he also provided policy advice and certified local legislation. Until his retirement in 1854, Pedder was a central figure in the colonial administration and settler community. Contributing to the emerging fields of settler colonial studies and comparative colonial legal history, this thesis situates Pedder within the Anglophone colonial world at a significant period of transition from empire to nation-state. Engaging constructively with Philip Girard’s ‘window on an age’ model for writing the lives of colonial judges, it also broadens the focus from the presentist, professional concerns of conventional judicial biography to a more historically sensitive reading of the archive. Reconstructing Pedder’s life-world in the metropolis and the colony reveals how his formative experiences and personal connections shaped his values and professional practices. His repatriation to England in retirement also clearly identifies Pedder as an expatriate professional, rather than a settler-colonist. From this biographically informed base, the thesis contextualises and tests three enduring popular and scholarly constructions of the chief justice: as a ‘hanging judge’, a puppet of government, and a champion of the Aboriginal people of Van Diemen’s Land. Building on a long literary tradition in which frontier judges were recast as judicial murderers, the tabloid press posthumously constructed Pedder as a Tasmanian Judge Jeffreys. Colonial case law and press commentary are used to demonstrate that mandatory sentencing and community expectations of retributive justice gave Pedder little scope for judicial discretion during the dying decade of the ‘bloody code’. Inflected by the aspirational rule-of-law rhetoric of settler activists, Pedder’s construction as a puppet of government obscures the complex relationships between his judicial, executive and legislative roles. Comparative judicial biography reveals that colonial judges were routinely appointed ‘at pleasure’ by the imperial executive, and were expected to perform a range of extra-judicial functions. Linking Pedder’s experience in Van Diemen’s Land to current scholarship in other Anglophone settler polities, this thesis demonstrates that Pedder saw no essential conflict between his duties. Moreover, professional and political conservatism ensured that his primary loyalty was not to settler interests, but to the law and the Crown. Pedder’s benevolent construction as a champion of the island’s Indigenous inhabitants centres on his 1831 objection to the policy of banishing all survivors of the Black War to the islands of Bass Strait. His concern that the exiles would ‘pine away when they found their situation one of hopeless imprisonment’ has been read as a rare challenge to the genocidal impulses of settler colonialism. Yet Pedder’s faith in the…

▼ In 1819, Ferdinand VII ordered the creation of two Colegios de Abogados in Cuba to prevent the expansion of the number of legal professionals, as well as the unauthorized practice of law. The strategy, however, failed, and lawyers increasingly became a force of political and social change in the island, being mostly inspired by the debates about the implementation of liberal agendas in and out of Cuba. Some Colegios de Abogados eventually became centers of anti-Spanish conspiracy and lawyers even led recurrent uprisings for Cuban independence. Ideas of reform among Cuban lawyers, however, were diverse, and different interpretations of liberalism surfaced, especially under the influence of other movements such as annexationism and autonomism. This variety of ideas encountered one another at the Constitutional Convention of 1901, where self-proclaimed liberal delegates still questioned, for example, free education and universal suffrage, which made evident the many shades that liberalism still had in Cuba at this time. This study takes legal professionals to be a strategic window to approach and explain key social, political and intellectual transformations in nineteenth century Cuba, while unveiling the leading role lawyers themselves played in those processes. Relying on personal and professional documentation, correspondence and job applications, the dissertation recreates lawyers’ political, intellectual and social positions, and shows how they had a decisive participation in historical change in late colonial Cuba. Their ideas survived in periodical publications, newspapers, and political writings that they established or where they participated, as well as in legislations that they enacted, applied or commented on. Being the most influential professional group of the period under study, lawyers represent a perfect tool to understand the end of Spanish times in Cuba and its transit, under the flags of liberalism, to an independent republic.

▼ Pea 30 taasiseseisvusaasta jooksul on paljud Eesti ettevõtjad loonud varakogumi, mis oleks tervikliku ja mõistliku haldamise korral piisav, et tagada regulaarne sissetulek nii ettevõtjale enesele kui ka järeltulevatele põlvedele. Samas puudub Eestis praegu optimaalne õiguslik lahendus, mis võimaldaks näiteks pärast ettevõtja surma jätkata äriühingu tegevust, kaitstuna perekonnasisestest lahkhelidest tulenevate probleemide, mõne pereliikme liigse tarbimise või riskijulguse ning võlausaldajate võimalike rünnakute eest. Seetõttu otsivad isikud abi välisriikidest, kus eksisteerivad sobivad õiguslikud lahendused. Tihtipeale kasutatakse selleks välismaiseid trust’e. Trust-i näol on tegemist süsteemiga, mis võimaldab eraldada isiku vara hulgast esemeid, et tagada nende säilimine ja (eelduslikult tulutoov) valitsemine. Samas on võimalik garanteerida tulud kindlatele isikutele nii, et esemed pole ka nende vara koosseisus ja neil ei ole varaküsimustes otsustusõigust. Lisaks ettevõttega seotud surmapuhustele korraldustele, mida nimetati eespool, kasutatakse trust’e ka näiteks siis, kui soovitakse tagada ajalooliselt suguvõsa omandis olnud kinnisasja säilimine ja selle kasutamise võimalus tulevastele põlvedele. Samuti siis, kui inimene muretseb selle pärast, et ei ole kõrgesse ikka jõudes enam suuteline tegema varalistes küsimustes pädevaid otsuseid, või tal on puudega laps, kes ei ole pärast vanema surma võimeline varalisi otsuseid langetama. Ka saab vanem trust-i abil lükata lapse omanikuks saamist edasi kuni viimase täisikka jõudmiseni või teha korraldusi puhuks, kui on alust arvata, et laps ei ole varalistes küsimustes usaldusväärne ka täisealisena (on narkomaan või hasartmängusõltlane). Keerulisi olukordi põhjustavad ka segased pere- ja paarisuhted, näiteks kui abielulahutuse korral soovib üks vanem varakogumi eraldamise teel kindlustada laste tulevikku, välistades samas teise vanema otsustusõiguse selle vara üle. Väitekirja eesmärk on leida vastus küsimusele, millised probleemid esinevad Eestis juba eksisteerivate õiguslike lahenduste kasutamisel perevara planeerimiseks. Vaatluse all on eelkõige testamenditäitja ning eel- ja järelpärija instituudid, käsundusleping ja sihtasutus.

▼ This dissertation evaluates the regulation of domestic work. It approaches this topicfrom an international and national perspective. An international perspective in thiscontext means the regulation of domestic work as an international labour standard bythe International Labour Organization (ILO). Its national perspective entails the variousmodels of national regulation in three countries- South Africa Namibia and Indonesia.This dissertation also brings to the fore the nature of domestic work in its evaluation as a labour standard. It does this to give a general understanding of the subject. In recent years, regulating domestic work has been a popular topic within international labour law circles. However, the popularity of this discussion is not reflected in the working lives of a majority of domestic workers worldwide. Therefore, this dissertation reiterates specific issues that affect the lives of domestic workers in a bid to contribute to the body of knowledge on the subject; and the achievement of social justice and decent work in this “invisible' sector.This dissertation concludes that the proper regulation of the domestic work sector is the first step in the achievement of social justice for domestic workers. It also posits after a comparative analysis that the regulation of decent work requires a framework in which hard and soft law approaches are interwoven in the regulation of domestic work. This framework is important as the intertwining of hard and soft law regimes will enable the reaffirmation of and compliance with ILO standards for domestic work regulation.

This dissertation examines the attitudes, pedagogical practices, and teaching materials of Canadian contract law professors to better understand the relationship between theory and practice in legal education. Professors express a widespread aspiration to translate theory into practice – to incorporate theoretical and critical perspectives as a means of producing “better lawyers.” However, an analysis of the substantive theoretical attitudes about law reveals that this aspiration is imperfectly realized. When professors describe their beliefs about law, they overwhelmingly express strong commitments to realist and critical ideas, drawn largely from American legal thought, that emphasize law’s contingency and indeterminacy, and that construe considerations of policy, context, and politics as central to an understanding of law. However, the attitudes about law reflected in key manifestations of “practice” reveal an apparently contradictory set of commitments. Professors describe and conceive of legal reasoning, which can be considered a foundational practice shared by legal professionals, in a way that foregrounds formalist attitudes of law. These conceptions treat judicial reasoning seriously, privilege the importance of doctrine, and emphasize the determination of relevance with reference to an internally coherent set of rules – all of which effectively marginalizes considerations of policy, politics, and context. Moreover, the way professors teach, how they formulate their learning objectives, the decisions they make about substance, and the materials they use all put into practice these formalist ideas, rather than the realist and critical attitudes to which professors are purportedly committed. A similar tension arises as between critical introductory statements in Canadian contract law casebooks and the casebooks’ more conventional presentation of substance, as viewed through the remedies chapters. These observations imply that Canadian legal thought may be characterized by theoretical eclecticism co-existing with methodological homogeneity, a failure to operationalize theoretical commitments. Moreover, the dynamics reveal a complex interplay between structure and agency in legal education in which professors participate affirmatively in reproducing the structures that condition them. This complex interplay partially accounts for the tenacity of conventional categories, concepts, and pedagogical formulae, and is a crucial factor to understand in the pursuit of any transformative vision for legal education.

▼ A fundamental question in decision-making is how instructions can be used to influence behavior. Nowhere is this question more important than in the legal system, in which the fate and lives of individuals are in the balance. In the United States, jurors are frequently instructed to apply poorly defined and varied decision thresholds (burdens of proof), as well as instructions to disregard inadmissible evidence. For civil trials, a preponderance of evidence (PoE) is set as the decision threshold, while criminal trials require the more stringent threshold of beyond a reasonable doubt (BaRD). It is unclear, however, how decision threshold and disregard instructions are applied by laypeople and how they compare to participants’ intuitive decisions. To evaluate burden of proof instructions, here we applied quantitative, psychometric analyses to assess and compare decision thresholds across instruction-type in both legal and non-legal contexts. We found a consistent pattern across all legal scenarios, non-legal scenarios, and psychophysical tasks: As expected, naive individuals interpreted PoE less stringently than BaRD, but surprisingly, they interpreted PoE more conservatively than their own intuitive belief (IB) and the legally prescribed threshold. Decision thresholds were also more stringent for legal than any non-legal contexts. Follow-up studies addressed why laypeople's PoE standard is interpreted more stringently than expected, and why adjudication in the legal domain is consistently more conservative than any other domains of decision-making tested. We also examined how domain expertise affected this pattern of results. Furthermore, to understand the application of disregard instructions we built on an existing neuroimaging paradigm to evaluate the brain mechanisms involved in assessing biasing character evidence and admissibility instructions using fMRI. We found that an instruction allowing individuals to consider evidence increased punishment independent of character evidence, and identified several prefrontal regions associated with individual differences in the application of this instruction. Taken together, our findings suggest that legal instructions can influence decisions in ways not intended or accounted for by the law. This may call for a re-assessment of the intended outcomes of legal standards – particularly PoE – as well as the potentially biasing effect of admissibility rulings.

Na sociedade, a identificação humana é indispensável tanto por razões legais como humanitárias. Porém, existem situações em que corpos encontrados não são passíveis de reconhecimento ou quando não há suspeição, impossibilitando a identificação. Nesses casos, análises antropológicas são de extrema importância, pois permitem estabelecer o perfil biológico do sujeito. Assim, realiza-se a Reconstrução Facial Forense (RFF) para possibilitar o reconhecimento e levar a uma possível identificação. A RFF, para ser realizada, precisa dos valores das espessuras de tecidos moles faciais (ETMF) em diversos pontos craniométricos. Essas medidas servem como guia para se estabelecer um limiar do contorno da face e podem ser influenciadas por diferentes fatores como sexo, ancestralidade, idade e índice de massa corporal (IMC). Não há na literatura tabelas de ETMFs de crianças e adolescentes brasileiros, para auxiliarem na RFF. O objetivo desse trabalho foi realizar a mensuração da espessura de tecidos moles de crianças e adolescentes brasileiros, a partir de dados de imagens de Tomografias Computadorizadas de Feixe Cônico (TCFC) de indivíduos vivos, considerando-se as variáveis sexo, idade, cor da pele e índice de massa corporal. Neste estudo, foram mensurados os 21 pontos craniométricos pré- determinados por meio do software Osírix Lite, de imagens de TCFC da região de cabeça e pescoço de 103 não adultos brasileiros (39 crianças e 64 adolescentes), obtidas junto aos arquivos de imagens de uma clínica de Radiografias e Documentações Odontológicas localizada na cidade de Araraquara – SP. De acordo com os resultados obtidos houve diferença significativa (p≤0,05) nos pontos supraglabela, glabela, rinio, supradentale, supraorbital e gonion mensurados em crianças, e na amostra de adolescentes as diferenças significativas existentes foram nos pontos nasion, rinio, filtro-médio, supradentale, infradentale e na eminência frontal. Em todos esses pontos o sexo feminino apresentou média de espessura menor do que a do sexo masculino. Em 16 pontos craniométricos, crianças do sexo feminino brancas apresentaram médias de ETMFs mais baixas do que as não brancas. O mesmo, no sexo masculino, aconteceu com 9 pontos. No ponto gonion, houve evidência de que a média de espessura de crianças com cor da pele não branca é maior do que as brancas, seja qual for o…

▼ This dissertation offers an unprecedented empirical window into federal prosecutors’ everyday work. The ethnographic research that constitutes it includes 133 interviews with Assistant U.S. Attorneys and participation in 68 case preparation meetings and 26 jury selection proceedings between 2013 and 2017. It also includes participant observation during two trials that fell at the beginning and end of the research period. Analysis of these cases draws on pertinent trial transcripts, sidebar interactions, and strategy meetings. My argument is that jurors play a central role in prosecutors’ decision-making, professional identities, and formulations of justice. This is because the possibility of lay scrutiny at trial, however remote, creates an opening for prosecutors to invoke nonlegal knowledge about the fairness of their cases and their responsibilities as public servants. I argue, further, that prosecutors’ references to jurors as a routine part of their technique exceeds the instrumentality of obtaining guilty verdicts. The pervasive invocations of real and imagined laypeople that ethnography brings to light make a case for the jury’s value and continuing impact as prosecutions are made and abandoned in their name. This study contributes to the discipline of anthropology by demonstrating the collaborative, contingent, and creative character of legal technique in the United States. The findings that emerge from it also unsettle conventional understandings of prosecutorial discretion and lay participation. First, it challenges dichotomous conceptions of lay and professional expertise, as prosecutors regularly bring common sense understandings of justice into their discussions. Second, it demonstrates that prosecutors do not constitute a monolithic professional group. Rather, they invoke jurors as a narrative resource with which to critique and adjust their approaches to cases. And third, prosecutors negotiate their ethical and professional commitments as representatives of the federal government with reference to the laypeople who may evaluate their work.

▼ This thesis draws on the theory and method of social ontology to explore why labour law struggles to provide for wage security and clarity of employment status today. It starts by exploring at a conceptual level the relationship between law and capitalism, before moving on to engage more specifically with the concept of the wage, situating the analysis in a theory of the wage's socio-economic function. The thesis understands the 'wage' as, initially, the market price of the commodity, 'labour power', which is exchanged in the labour market. As with any other 'price', the wage functions to coordinate decision making in the market. At the same time, however, the wage is also the cost of reproducing that commodity, a process which is not confined to the market but takes place in society more generally: this is the function of social reproduction. These two functions are not only conceptually and materially distinct; they are frequently in conflict. The price the market assigns to the labour commodity is not always, and not necessarily, that which is required to cover its costs of (re)production. The thesis shows that these functions of the wage find their expression in the various concepts the legal system uses to describe the payment made by employers to their workers. For example, the legal concept of the 'wage' corresponds closely to the economic idea of the wage as price, and the concept of 'remuneration' to the wage as the cost of social reproduction, shifting some of the social costs of employment onto the employer. How these conceptual tools are deployed, however, and thus how effectively these functions are performed in practice, depends on law's own view of its ontological status: that is, the implicit position that the legal system takes on what constitutes 'social reality' beyond the text of a particular case or statute, and thus its view of whether, and to what extent, legal concepts can shape, as well as respond, to it. The thesis shows that whether the legal system sees its concepts playing an active role in constituting social and economic relations, or whether it sees them as passively reacting to the 'demands' of a 'pre-constituted' economic system makes a difference to the effectiveness of law in practice. Understanding law's implicit ontology in this sense helps us to see why labour law struggles to provide for wage security and clarity of status. Thinking about law's relationship with social reality can thus make an important contribution to our understanding of the problems of low pay and unclear employment status today.

▼ This dissertation examines how ordinary people in England and Russia form their perceptions of legal institutions in their experiences with lower courts. This work is based on a qualitative study involving interviews and observations in county and magistrates' courts in England and courts of Justices of the Peace in Russia, a number of focus groups with the court users and the judges, as well as a variety of secondary sources. The goal of this study is to investigate the inner workings of the English and Russian legal cultures through the analysis of stable attitudes towards legal institutions and their interplay with the people's perceptions of their individual experiences. My examination of these complex sets of ideas and images includes the analysis of people's preconceptions about institutions of justice, people's perceptions of administrative and procedural models, their interaction with court administration and legal professionals, and evaluations of the final outcomes of their cases. I argue that perceptions of legal institutions even at the lowest level are linked to the traditional images of courts in the Russian and English societies. The perceived position of legal institutions within the framework of the state, i.e. the level of their independence and impartiality, is one of the leading factors that shape people's long-standing attitudes of trust in legal institutions. The availability of administrative and procedural mechanisms that create and reinforce perceptions of transparency, equality, and reliability of legal institutions in people's everyday experiences contributes to the creation of stable attitudes of institutional trust. Peopleâs perceptions of the English and Russian lower courts reflect how ordinary citizens see the law and the institutions of justice in their countries, and how they perceive their own ability to obtain justice with the use of official legal mechanisms. These perceptions reveal the underlying relationships between people, law, and legal institutions in different societies and, therefore, contribute to our understanding of legal cultures.

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Simon (1998; 2004) presented a psychological model of legal adjudication known as coherence-based reasoning. Coherence-based reasoning extends from a constraint satisfaction understanding of reasoning, and is typified by the presence of a coherence shift. The model has been successfully measured empirically using legal decision tasks (Holyoak & Simon, 1999). The current thesis explores coherence-based reasoning as an explanatory model within the context of complex contract law adjudication. The ecological validity of the model was examined in relation to multiple legal factors including legal expertise, dispute difficulty, decision confidence and legal utility. Coherence-based reasoning was demonstrated to be a suitable explanatory model for the reasoning process of judging real Australian contract law disputes. Particular interest was directed toward measuring the coherence shift, legal consensus and utility of deciding contract law disputes with systems of legal rules that differ on their level of specificity. Broad principles were compared to detailed rule law models in order to contribute empirical evidence to the ongoing jurisprudential debate regarding the optimal expression of contract laws in Australia. The results indicated that using broad principles to guide decision making produces greater decision consensus than using detailed rules, but only for disputes that are easier to decide. For harder disputes, the use of broad principles produced lower decision consensus than the use of detailed rules. Decision consensus among participants who used detailed rules to guide their decision making was moderate, and there was no difference in consensus between easier and harder disputes. For all levels of dispute difficulty and for all law models, a coherence shift was demonstrated and participants reported moderate to high levels of decision confidence.
