Lord Sumption on the Supreme Court Edited by William Day, University of Cambridge, UK & Sarah Worthington, University of Cambridge, UK Lord Sumption has been one of the most influential judges of his generation.

Access to Justice in Magistrates' Courts A Study of Defendant Marginalisation Lucy Welsh, University of Sussex, UK This book examines access to justice in summary criminal proceedings by considering the ability of defendants to play an active and effective role in the process. The author argues that defendants have always been marginalised through particular features of magistrates’ court proceedings (such as courtroom layout and patterns of behaviour among the professional workgroups in court). The study is ethnographic, based on observation conducted in four magistrates’ courts in South East England and interviews with both defence lawyers and Crown prosecutors.
Corporate Attribution in Private Law Rachel Leow
This book offers a succinct framework for analysing and answering corporate attribution. Taking a broad private law perspective, it determines how companies are held accountable under tort law, contract law and unjust enrichment. It argues that attribution is best understood as turning on the same feature: the allocation of the company’s powers to act to human individuals. By taking this approach, it allows for a much greater and clearer understanding of attribution. Looking at the question from the broad expanse of the common law, this book will be of interest to lawyers in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore.

Misleading Silence
Edited by Elise Bant, The University of Western Australia & Jeannie Paterson, The University of Melbourne This book brings together a team of outstanding scholars from across the common law to explore the treatment of misleading silence in private law doctrine and theory, embracing a comparative analysis. Whereas previous studies have been contractual in focus, here the topic is explored from across the full spectrum of private law. Its approach encompasses equitable, common law and statutory principles and draws on theoretical, historical, cross-disciplinary and doctrinal perspectives. This is truly a landmark publication in private law, with no equivalent in the common law world.

The Criminal Law’s Person
Edited by Claes Lernestedt, Stockholm University & Matt Matravers, University of York Encounters between criminal-law scholars and those working in ‘explanatory’ and ‘behavioural’ sciences have often been characterised by mutual distrust and defensiveness. To break this deadlock, a new framing of the issues is needed. This is not simply a matter of asking, for example, what follows for criminal responsibility from the latest scientific findings in neuroscience. Rather, what is needed is to re-examine the fundamental idea of the criminal law’s person so as to construct a more nuanced understanding of criminal law’s blameworthy individual. That is the goal of this volume which brings together an international group of academics from across the fields of law, philosophy, and ethics.
