Case Law Explorer: UI

Legal scholars and law students generally analyse court decisions by means of human analysis. Case Law Explorer is a tool for conducting network analysis on Dutch (and in the near future also European) case law, directed at law students and legal researchers. The software enables extracting, processing, and visualizing citations in court decisions (references in court decisions to other decisions). The software allows finding precedents (court decisions that provide rules that can be applied to solve current or future cases) and identifying groups of decisions on similar (sub-)topics. The link to the materials covers the documentation for the software, including the link to the software itself. The web application draws data from a data pipeline that extracts, transforms, and loads case law. The data pipeline, the underlying software platform, and links to Github repositories, can be found at https://maastrichtlawtech.github.io/case-explorer-ui/#/.

Introduction to Criminal Law

Criminal Law begins with the foundations of law and the legal system and then extensively explores criminal laws and defenses using general state principles, federal law, the Constitution, and the Model Penal Code as guidelines. Although it is neither possible nor desirable to discuss every criminal law, this textbook provides a basic yet thorough overview of the American criminal justice system. After completing Criminal Law, you will be familiar with the nature and sources of law, the court system, the adversarial process, the most prominent crimes, and accompanying criminal defenses Criminal Law uses a two-step process to augment learning, called the applied approach. First, after building a strong foundation from scratch, Criminal Law introduces you to crimes and defenses that have been broken down into separate components. It is so much easier to memorize and comprehend the subject matter when it is simplified this way. However, becoming proficient in the law takes more than just memorization. You must be trained to take the laws you have studied and apply them to various fact patterns. Most students are expected to do this automatically, but application must be seen, experienced, and practiced before it comes naturally. Thus the second step of the applied approach is reviewing examples of the application of law to facts after dissecting and analyzing each legal concept. Some of the examples come from cases, and some are purely fictional. All the examples are memorable, even quirky, so they will stick in your mind and be available when you need them the most (like during an exam). After a few chapters, you will notice that you no longer obsess over an explanation that doesn’t completely make sense the first time you read it—you will just skip to the example. The examples clarify the principles for you, lightening the workload significantly. Tweede

Thirst for Justice: The International Court of Justice

This textbook goes beyond a straightforward account of the International Court of Justice. At its heart lies a deeper question: does the work of the ICJ retain meaningful relevance for the world community, and if so, does it do so despite the emerging dynamics of a multipolar world order, or perhaps precisely because of them? To answer that question, the book takes a deliberately judicial approach. The bulk of its pages are devoted to the close examination of some of the most significant cases in the Court’s entire history, including those of its predecessor, the Permanent Court of International Justice (PCIJ). In doing so, it uncovers what are often the best-kept secrets of this venerable institution: its actual judgments, and what they reveal about the evolution of international law across the decades. Three chapters structure the work around the Court’s past, present, and future. The opening chapter traces the history of the ICJ from its institutional roots, including the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) and the PCIJ, through the exceptional and often turbulent arc of the twentieth century. Written in accessible language, it introduces readers to the Court’s main functions, its composition, and its structure, offering a nuanced portrait of an institution that came of age during one of history’s most consequential periods. The cases examined in the two subsequent chapters were selected through a rigorous process involving a broad pool of experienced international lawyers. In total, fourteen cases and one Advisory Opinion are analysed, proceedings that have already shaped the international legal order and are likely to continue doing so in matters of considerable consequence. Dit leerboek gaat verder dan een rechtlijnige beschrijving van het Internationaal Gerechtshof (ICJ). Centraal staat een diepere vraag: behoudt het werk van het ICJ een wezenlijke betekenis voor de internationale gemeenschap, en zo ja, doet het dat ondanks de opkomende dynamiek van een multipolaire wereldorde, of misschien juist dankzij die dynamiek? Om die vraag te beantwoorden, kiest het boek bewust voor een rechterlijke benadering. Het grootste deel van het boek is gewijd aan een nauwgezette analyse van enkele van de belangrijkste zaken uit de volledige geschiedenis van het Hof, waaronder die van zijn voorganger, het Permanente Hof van Internationale Justitie (PCIJ). Daarbij worden de vaak best bewaarde geheimen van deze eerbiedwaardige instelling blootgelegd: haar daadwerkelijke uitspraken en wat deze onthullen over de ontwikkeling van het internationaal recht door de decennia heen. Drie hoofdstukken structureren het werk rond het verleden, het heden en de toekomst van het Hof. Het openingshoofdstuk schetst de geschiedenis van het ICJ, vanaf zijn institutionele wortels – waaronder het Permanente Hof van Arbitrage (PCA) en het PCIJ – tot aan de uitzonderlijke en vaak turbulente ontwikkeling van de twintigste eeuw. In toegankelijke taal maakt het de lezer vertrouwd met de belangrijkste taken, de samenstelling en de structuur van het Hof, en biedt het een genuanceerd beeld van een instelling die tot volle wasdom kwam tijdens een van de meest ingrijpende perioden uit de wereldgeschiedenis. De zaken die in de twee daaropvolgende hoofdstukken worden behandeld, zijn geselecteerd via een zorgvuldig proces waarbij een brede groep ervaren internationaal juristen betrokken was. In totaal worden veertien zaken en één advies (Advisory Opinion) geanalyseerd: procedures die de internationale rechtsorde reeds diepgaand hebben beïnvloed en naar verwachting ook in de toekomst richtinggevend zullen blijven voor vraagstukken van groot internationaal belang.
