This book's focus makes statutes, and the processes that produce them, the primary consideration. Traditional teaching materials tend to make statutes and the circumstances of their creation secondary; students encounter the legislative process and legislative materials chiefly, sometimes exclusively, through the eyes of judges. In contrast, two of the three principal chapters of this book are organized around the enactment of two particular statutes – one late Nineteenth Century, the second late Twentieth Century. These chapters expose students to primary documents reflecting the quite different processes by which these two statutes were enacted, and invite them to reach conclusions about their meaning, in advance of any exposure to judicial interpretations – just as lawyers would typically be required to do in practice. The latter of these two chapters also includes extensive selections from the secondary literature to help put the current debates between textualists and purposivists in sharp focus. The intervening chapter deals in a more conventional way with the development and use of the purpose/intent-oriented methods of interpretation that characterized mid-Twentieth Century judicial practice. This chapter, in which judicial decisions predominate, often sets a statutory problem as a prologue to the case – highlighting the statutory issue and inviting the student to do her own interpretive analysis before encountering the judges' opinion. ; https://scholarship.law.columbia.edu/books/1237/thumbnail.jpg

It is difficult to overestimate the importance of Directive 2010/64/EU on the right to interpretation and translation in criminal proceedings. It is the first directive under the Lisbon Treaty, the first directive in the field of Justice (up till then one had recourse to framework decisions only), the first directive on language since the founding treaties of the EU and, of course, the first directive on issues of translation and interpretation. In this contribution we will discuss the relevant policy-making history leading up to the Directive, highlight the main challenges the Directive presents to the Member States that need to transpose this binding Directive into their own legislation and practice and, finally, suggest a number of strategies and policies that could help the transposition process, both in the short and long term. ; Resulta difícil sobreestimar la importancia de la Directiva 2010/64/UE del Parlamento Europeo y del Consejo, de 20 de octubre de 2010, relativa al derecho a interpretación y a traducción en los procesos penales. Se trata de la primera directiva emanada del Tratado de Lisboa, de la primera directiva en el ámbito de la justicia (hasta entonces se recurría solamente a las decisiones marco), de la primera directiva sobre lenguas desde los tratados fundacionales de la UE; y, por supuesto, de la primera directiva sobre traducción e interpretación. En la presente publicación, se analiza el historial de decisiones políticas relevantes que han llevado a la aprobación de la Directiva, se destacan los principales retos que presenta la Directiva para los Estados Miembros que tienen que transponer esta norma de obligado cumplimiento a su propia legislación y ejercicio; y, finalmente, se sugieren una serie de estrategias y políticas que pueden ser útiles durante el proceso de transposición, tanto a corto como a largo plazo.

The Guide on the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards provides a detailed analysis of the judicial interpretation and application of the New York Convention by reference to case law from 45 Contracting States. The Guide, and the newyorkconvention1958.org website which supplements it, will become an essential tool that benefits all those involved in the interpretation and application of the New York Convention, including judges, arbitrators, practitioners, academics and Government officials. The Guide gives clear expression to the principal finding of extensive research, namely, that the Contracting States have interpreted and applied the New York Convention in an overwhelmingly consistent manner and that courts have diverged from the general trends in the case law in only isolated instances. As such, the Convention continues to fulfill its purpose of facilitating the worldwide recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards to the greatest extent possible. ; https://scholarship.law.columbia.edu/books/1047/thumbnail.jpg
