Tinker, Tailor, Policy-maker ... ... ... The Wider Context of Prosecution Service Work

This article explores the wider ambit of prosecutorial work outside classic criminal proceedings in 11 European criminal justice systems. It provides an overview of the roles a prosecutor is expected to play, e.g. whether a contribution to national or local crime prevention policy or to act in victim’s interest is expected.

Paradise Lost...: The Meaning of Modernity and the Antinomy of the Law

This essay argues for the centrality of the study of paradoxes of particularity and universality in the interface between law and politics in modernity. Particularly, in order to understand the process of constitution of a political collective and the role of supernumerary elements that re-enter a constituted legal-political system. After introducing the question of paradoxes or antinomies in the relation between law and politics in modernity, the essay engages with current understandings of exceptionalism and the possibility of a leftist or ‘real’ suspension of the law. In order to do so, this essay makes full use of certain theoretical tools developed in anthropological accounts of political and legal processes, and current French-oriented and Latin American political philosophy.

... and then 25 years later

What started off in 1982 as a quiet family trust, 25 years laterhas turned out to be rather a cause célèbre. Atleast it might become so if the full report of a recent caseis as disturbing as the brief report which appeared in the Timeson 12 February 2007. Inadvertent distress and expense all roundwas caused where it appears that the settlors of a family trust,in 1982, purported to resign as trustees and appointed the InvestmentBank of Ireland (IOM) Ltd and an individual to be, interestingly,as the Times describes each as the sole trustees. Interestinglyboth were resident overseas. Presumably, there were tax planningmotives behind making the trustees resident outside the UK taxjurisdiction.
