Medical Law / Private & Public International Law
Daniel Joyce, University of New South Wales, Australia
This book considers the significance of informed publics from the perspective of international law. It does so by analysing international media law frameworks and the mediatization of international law in institutional settings. This exposes the complexity of the interrelationship between international law and the media, but also points to the dangers involved in international law’s associated and increasing reliance upon the mediated techniques of communicative capitalism – such as publicity – premised upon an informed international public whose existence many now question.

The Private International Law of Authentic Instruments
Jonathan Fitchen, University of Aberdeen, UK This book equips lawyers with the information necessary to understand what a notarial authentic instrument is (and is not) and what it can (or cannot) be used to do in the course of contentious or noncontentions legal proceedings. Part one focuses on an explanation of the nature of the foreign legal concept of an authentic instrument, setting out the modes of creation, typical domestic evidentiary effects and the typical domestic options to challenge such authentic instruments. Part two then examines and analyses authentic instruments under specific European Union private international law Regulations, focusing on the different cross-border legal effects allowed and procedures that apply to each.

The Right to Be Protected from Committing Suicide
Jonathan Herring, University of Oxford, UK This ground-breaking book makes the legal and ethical case for recognising that the state and public authorities have a duty to provide and implement an effective suicide prevention strategy. Arguing that those suffering threats to life from mental health issues deserve the same protection as those who face threats to life from ill health or violence from others, the book explores the ethical and legal case for giving those beset with suicidal thoughts the treatment they need and for reasonable steps to be taken to protect them from attempting suicide.

Women’s Birthing Bodies and the Law
Edited by Camilla Pickles, Durham University, UK & Jonathan Herring, University of Oxford, UK This book unpacks the legal and ethical issues surrounding unauthorised intimate examinations during labour. The book uses feminist, socio-legal and philosophical tools to explore the issues of power, vulnerability and autonomy and includes contributions from leading feminist philosophers, healthcare professionals, and academics in healthcare and law. The collection challenges the perception that the law adequately addresses different manifestations of unauthorised medical touch through the lens of women’s experiences of unauthorised vaginal examinations during labour. The book unearths several broader themes that are of huge significance to lawyers and healthcare professionals such as the legal status of women and their bodies.
