Synopsis
With the incisiveness and lucid style for which he is renowned, Ronald Dworkin has written a masterful explanation of how the Anglo-American legal system works and on what principles it is grounded. Law's Empire is a full-length presentation of his theory of law that will be studied and debated-by scholars and theorists, by lawyers and judges, by students and political activists-for years to come.
Dworkin begins with the question that is at the heart of the whole legal system: in difficult cases how do (and how should) judges decide what the law is? He shows that judges must decide hard cases by interpreting rather than simply applying past legal decisions, and he produces a general theory of what interpretation is-in literature as well as in law-and of when one interpretation is better than others. Every legal interpretation reflects an underlying theory about the general character of law: Dworkin assesses three such theories. One, which has been very influential, takes the law of a community to be only what the established conventions of that community say it is. Another, currently in vogue, assumes that legal practice is best understood as an instrument of society to achieve its goals. Dworkin argues forcefully and persuasively against both these views: he insists that the most fundamental point of law is not to report consensus or provide efficient means to social goals, but to answer the requirement that a political community act in a coherent and principled manner toward all its members. He discusses, in the light of that view, cases at common law, cases arising under statutes, and great constitutional cases in the Supreme Court, and he systematically demonstrates that his concept of political and legal integrity is the key to Anglo-American legal theory and practice.
Review
'Ronald Dworkin is America's leading legal philosopher . . . testimony to his eminence, evidencing his analytical ingenuity, powerful imagination, and elegant concepualization. No subject ever seems quite the same after one has read Dworkin's treatment of it.'--London Review of BooksRonald Dworkin was Frank Henry Sommer Professor of Law and Philosophy at New York University.What About Law?
“'What About Law?' succeeds where so many legal guidebooks fail ... [it] skilfully demystifies the law and ably proves its argument. The law is, indeed, all around us - and this book will whet your appetite to find out how and why.” – Alex Wade, The Times (of the previous edition) Law is one of the few subjects that the school leaver, choosing a degree course, will have very little real understanding of. This book comes to the rescue by clearly setting out what a prospective law student can expect and why a student should choose to study law. This new edition is updated to reflect the reality of studying law today, highlighting changes due to Brexit and reforms to constitutional law. The book covers the compulsory subjects every law student has to study: contract, criminal, property and trusts law, and brings them up to date. With a clear core structure and approach it takes a case from each of these subjects to illustrate legal issues and methodology. The writing style is accessible and has the audience – novices to law – firmly in mind. What About Law? shows how the study of law can be fun, intellectually stimulating and challenging. It introduces prospective students to the legal system, legal reasoning, critical thinking and argument. Written by a team of experienced teachers, this book should be read by every student about to embark on the study of law.
This book comes to the rescue by clearly setting out what a prospective law student can expect and why a student should choose to study law."

Contemporary Chinese Law
Recently scholars have become increasingly aware that the study of Chinese law can provide new insight into the forces actually at work in Chinese society in different epochs. In an effort to encourage and facilitate the study of this subject, the thirteen essays of this volume deal with the methodology of studying the legal system of the People's Republic, describe the available research materials, and analyze the problems presented in making the materials of Chinese law intelligible to Western readers. They also review foreign works on Chinese law and explore the difficulties involved in translation and in comparing the Chinese system to our own and to that of the Soviet Union. Mr. Cohen's thoughtful introduction provides an excellent survey of the worldwide development of studies of Chinese law. It also delineates the nature of the essays that he and the eleven other scholars have contributed to the volume.
For almost a generation English language research in Chinese law lay in the doldrums. In Great Britain, although there were occasional publications during this period,3 no work comparable to that previously done by Staunton, Alabaster, ..."

The Process of Industrialization and the Role of Labor Law in Asian Countries
The seven national reports (Australia, China, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan) included in this volume provide an overview of the regulation of union organization, collective bargaining, and industrial disputes. These reports also analyze the role of government in industrial relations in the course of economic development. In regulations on formation of labour unions, some countries, such as Japan, have the least government intervention whereas other countries, for example Korea and Taiwan, have experienced more direct government control through imposition of certain forms of labour unions or registration requirements and procedures. The same applies to regulations on collective bargaining and industrial disputes. For instance, in Korea, Taiwan and Malaysia violation of collective agreements is not only sanctioned by civil liability but is also criminally punished. A review of the national reports reveals that while diversity in labour laws exists in the Asian countries represented, the significant role of government in labour relations is widely recognized.

Dinamika Omnibus Law di Era New Normal: Peluang serta Tantangan Bagi Profesi Hukum
Presiden RI Joko Widodo dalam pidato kemenanganya menyatakan bahwa fokus pemerintah adalah pertumbuhan ekonomi dengan pembangunan infrastruktur dan peningkatan investasi. Lebih lanjut menurut Presiden, terdapat 5 (lima) hambatan investasi di indonesia selama ini yaitu masalah regulasi yang tidak tumpang tindih dan tidak jelas, masalah perpajakan, masalah perizinan, masalah ketersediaan lahan, dan masalah ketenagakerjaan. Untuk menghilangkan hambatan tersebut, pemerintah membuat kebijakan Omnibus Law atau penyederhanaan dan penggabungan beberapa peraturan sekaligus. Kebijakan ini bertujuan untuk mendorong investasi dengan memangkas peraturan-peraturan dan birokrasi yang dinilai tidak efektif, tidak efisien dan high cost. Adapun kebijakan omnibus law terdiri dari dua isu utama yaitu omnibus law cipta lapangan kerja dan omnibus law perpajakan. Menurut pemerintah Setidaknya ada 3 (tiga) manfaat dari penerapan Omnibus Law. Pertama, menghilangkan tumpang tindih antar peraturan perundang-undangan. Kedua, efisiensi proses perubahan/pencabutan peraturan perundang-undangan. Ketiga, menghilangkan ego sektoral yang terkandung dalam berbagai peraturan perundang-undangan. Dalam Undang Undang omnibus law cipta lapangan kerja terdapat 11 klaster kebijakan, yaitu: 1) Penyederhanaan Perizinan, 2) Persyaratan Investasi, 3) Ketenagakerjaan, 4) Kemudahan, Pemberdayaan, dan Perlindungan UMK-M, 5) Kemudahan Berusaha, 6) Dukungan Riset dan Inovasi, 7) Administrasi Pemerintahan, 8) Pengenaan Sanksi, 9) Pengadaan Lahan, 10) Investasi dan Proyek Pemerintah, dan 11) Kawasan Ekonomi. Omnibus Law Cipta Lapangan Kerja (OLCLK) yang dirancang oleh pemerintah menimbulkan polemik di masyarakat. Sebagian kalangan menilai bahwa omnibus law tersebut adalah misi ambisius pemerintah untuk meningkatkan investasi negara dengan menguntungkan pihak pengusaha besar tanpa memperhatikan aspek lingkungan, keberlanjutan dan sosial lainnya. Adanya omnibus law tersebut dinilai bertentangan dengan berbagai kebijakan dan aturan diantaranya aturan tentang ketenagakerjaan, aturan tentang reforma agraria khususnya tentang tata guna tanah, ketentuan perizinan, dan sebagainya. Belum tuntasnya pembahasan tentang omnibus law tersebut diperparah dengan kondisi dunia yang semakin tidak menentu hari ini akibat pandemi covid-19. Pandemi telah merubah tananan seluruh manusia, termasuk juga negara-pemerintah yang hari ini disibukkan dengan kebijakan untuk mengatasi pandemi. Kebijakan Omnibus law saat ini juga dipaksa untuk menyesuaikan dengan era baru pandemi yang disebut new normal.

A ROOKIE & The Passage of The Mental Health Law: The Indonesian
Nova Riyanti Yusuf. MD, psychiatrist, was a Member of Parliament for the House of Representative of the republic of Indonesia in 2009-2014. She initiated the mental Health Bill in 2009, advacated the urgency, created model projects, and successfully chaired the Mental Health Bill Working Committee until it’s passed into law on July 8, 2014. The Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 18/2014 on Mental Health has been enacted since August 8, 2014. However, the process was a winding road therefore this memoir is born. Once the bill was passed into law, she did the ever-surprising gesture of relief by fountain dipping in the parliament complex. It was her vow and when she executed her vow she was accompanied by the Health Ministry officials, psychiatrists, members of consumer group, people with mental disorders, expert staffs, etc. In 2012-2014, Democratic Party Faction appointed her as Deputy Chairwoman of Commision IX overseeing health, manpower and transmigration, food and drug, and family planning and population affairs. Her task was not only to deal with the Mental Health Bill but also other duties as one of the commission leaders. But the Mental Health Bill was her personal indicator as a legislator who lives up to what she believes in. And one of the urgencies of the Mental Health Law is to eradicate the violations of human rights in Indonesia, which the Basic Health Research 2013 indicates the heartbreaking practice of approximately 56,000 people with mental diorders being shakled. And she dreams that the Mental Health Law can also play an important role in reviving the noble values of the great nation and building the next generation of Indonesia with formidable character. Her passion for mental health is in line with her educational background. She’s a certified psychiatrist graduating from Psychiatry Specialization Program, Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia, Jakarta. Her forensic psychiatry thesis was focusing on the Biopsychosocial Aspects of Suicide Among Two Painters in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. She graduated as a Medical Doctor from Faculty of Medicine, Trisakti University, Jakarta. Currently she still lectures at the Psychiatry Department, Trisakti University, Jakarta. She also established Metaforma Institute in 2007 and it is now in charge of running her free mental health services outreach with Mobile Mental Health Service (MMHS) units. She’s an avid speaker for conference/workshop/talk show with topics ranging from mental health, human rights, population & development, health policy, youth participation, literature, and so on. A passionate psychiatrist, a lecturer, a prolific writer, and a retiring young legislator, this memoir is her 11th book.
