Law's Moral Indifference
Andreas Takis, Aristotelian University of Thessaloniki, Greece This book traces the developments that established legal positivism as an almost insurmountable horizon in legal theory. It shows that modern positivism's enduring success is due to the gradual abandonment of its core position on law's moral indifference, which, paradoxically, renders it less and less positivistic.

Principle and Pragmatism in Roman Law
Edited by Benjamin Spagnolo, Trinity College, Cambridge, UK & Joe Sampson, Magdalen College, Oxford, UK This edited collection presents an interesting and original series of essays on the roles of principle and pragmatism in Roman private law. The book traverses key areas of Roman law to examine the explanatory power of - and delineate interactions between - abstract, doctrinal principle, and pragmatic, real-world problem-solving. Essays canvassing sources of law, property, succession, contracts and delicts sketch the varied roles of theoretical narratives - whether internal to Roman doctrine or derived from external influence - and of practical, policy-based solutions in the jurists’ thought.

Commonwealth and US Perspectives
Jingchen Xu, Helmsman LLC, Singapore This book considers the treatment of maritime creditors in insolvency proceedings, the determination of the “centre of main interest” of an offshore shipping company, and the scope of a debtor’s assets. The author uses a comparative law analysis, selecting four leading shipping countries – Australia, the UK, the US, and Singapore – and examining their approaches to the conflicts between maritime law and bankruptcy law. The book also proposes a solution to help eliminate the ambiguity that occurred in maritime cross-border insolvency cases under the UNCITRAL Model law regime, with an eye to enhancing the development of the shipping industry.
