After decades of strengthening European integration and independence, Brexit necessitates a deep understanding of its international law implications on both sides of the English Channel. In this volume, international law practitioners and academics move beyond the sensationalist rhetoric of the Brexiteers to explain the diverse legal challenges that need to be addressed. The authors in this volume articulate, with unvarnished clarity, the international law implications of Brexit, providing policy makers, commentators, the legal community, and civil society with critical information they need to participate in negotiating their future within or outside Europe.

Sexual Assault and the Failure of the Legal Profession ELAINE CRAIG
Provides an even-handed account of how the legal profession unnecessarily – and sometimes unlawfully – contributes to the trauma and re-victimization experienced by those who testify as sexual assault complainants. This book demonstrates that demonstrates that – despite prominent contestations – complainants are regularly subjected to abusive, humiliating, and discriminatory treatment when they turn to the law to respond to sexual violations. Gathering conclusive evidence, Craig makes serious, substantiated and necessary claims about the ethical and cultural failures of the Canadian legal profession.

The book includes firsthand experiences and research from across the globe.
