			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here are some branches of law that are generally concerned  with regulation and suchlike functions within the legal sphere.</p>
<p>Firstly there is <strong>Tax law,</strong> This is very self  explanatory and deals with the rules and regulations on VAT or Value Added Tax,  corporate tax, income tax and so on.</p>
<p>Then comes <strong>Banking Law.</strong> This discipline along with  financial regulations does the vital task of setting a certain ceiling or  standard to the amount of capital that a bank can hold or keep. Also, there are  certain rules and regulations set for investment and better investment  practices as well. This step is basically taken to ensure a certain degree of  financial safety and security in case there is some sort of an economic crises.  A burning example of an economic disaster would be the current economic  recession that the global economy is still dealing with.</p>
<p><strong>Regulation</strong> is another branch of law that deals with  the regulations of public facilities and utilities. For example, there is the  water law.  Since the onset of  privatization, even services like the public utilities have gone under private  management and been taken away from the monopoly of the government. Nowadays,  these provisions are managed by the private companies which had previously been  done by the government. There are certain industries that are regulated in some  countries and these are energy, water, gas and telecoms as well.</p>
<p>Then comes the <strong>Competition law, </strong> This is known as the  antitrust law in the United    States of America. This law goes back very  far in the stages of history up to Roman history as well. This discipline of  law is a very dynamic discipline and has really evolved over time. During the  Roman times, there had been certain laws prevalent against price fixing and  also there has been the restraint of trade doctrine. There is the modern  competition law and that has happened with the United States anti-cartel and the  anti-monopoly laws. These two laws are the Sherman Act and the Clayton Act  respectively. The purpose of the competition law is basically to control the  amount of competition and prevent any particular enterprise from monopolizing  and influence the market such that others are put at a disadvantage for their  gain. The welfare and betterment of the consumer is the primary goal here.</p>
<p>Then there is the specific<strong> Consumer Law</strong> which is  again directed at protecting the rights of the consumer and making sure that  they do not fall victim to any unfair business practices. This is a very wide  ranging statute and includes many consumer related issues including unfair  contracts and their clauses, airline baggage insurance and basically anything  under the sun that can influence the consumer or can have any effect on the  consumer.</p>
<p><strong>Environmental Law</strong> talks  about climate change and regulate the polluters in the atmosphere. This is very  important in light of the increasing global crises in the world with relation  to environment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Firstly, let us look at some definitions of property.  According to Roman Law, property is basically means that one has the right to  use something in which ever way providing that it is within the limits of the  law. Black&#8217;s Law Dictionary  says that, in the strict legal sense,  [property is] an aggregate of rights which are guaranteed and protected by the  government&#8221;</p>
<p>This is another law which is of prime importance and  especially so, in countries hailing from a primarily capitalist background. The  function of laws on property is to regulate possessions belonging to people and  institutions as well. There are different kinds of property as well and these  include real property, personal property and so on. Under personal property  there are further subdivisions of intellectual property, company law, trusts  and commercial law as well. Here you may ask as to what is “real property”?  Real property is basically called “real estate” and covers land and all the  things attached to that particular land. Personal property includes movable  assets and can include everything else, right from jewelry, gadgets, cars, and  even property which cannot be seen, touched or felt, but exist on paper, like stocks,  shares and so on.</p>
<p>One of the most complicated forms of law or rather, property  law, is that of <a href="http://www.landtrusttn.com/land-law-quick-overview/">land law</a>. There are many aspects which fall under the purview  of land law and these include mortgages, licenses, agreements or covenants,  easements, rental negotiation and so on. Within the purview of the civil law  system there is always a very clear distinction between what is known as  movable and immovable property. Movable property is like personal property  while immovable property concerns real estate which is also called real  property. And as is obvious, there are certain rights and duties which are  associated with real estate or real property.</p>
<p>There is however, a difference between property rights and  contractual rights. Property rights are rights which are prevalent over objects  which can be enforced against other people. Contractual rights on the other  hand are different. These are rights which can only be enforced or implemented  only certain people. There are certain times or situations when and where both  these kinds of rights can overlap and this is when there are certain property  rights which originate from one particular contract. For example damages are  sued for on the contract and here both the rights are required. So there are  always certain exceptions. Then again, property rights are also different from  personal rights.</p>
<p><strong> Real property generally has two sub-divisions. </strong></p>
<p>Firstly, there are corporeal here ditaments.  This term refers to real property like land  which can be touched or felt. That is, tangible property basically.</p>
<p>Secondly, there are incorporeal  here ditaments. This concerns real property which is intangible. An example  could be an easement of way.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many disciplines of law that govern and regulate  matters in the financial sphere. Here are some of the important ones.</p>
<p><strong>Company Law </strong>- This branch of law has developed from  the concept of the law of trusts. There is a principle where there is a clear  separation between the ownership of property and the control of property. The  company law of the modern times and as we see it today all started with the  Joint Stock Companies Act of 1856. This law was passed in the United Kingdom.  This law enabled all the investors to easily register themselves and then gain  a limited liability.</p>
<p><strong>Commercial Law &#8211; </strong>Is yet another branch of law which  deals with certain other issues like contract and property law under its  purview and control. There are many other legal subjects that full under its  regulation and these include law of agency, sales law, insurance law,  insolvency, bankruptcy law and  bills of  exchange as well. There are two main acts which have been crucial in the  formation of the modern commercial law that everyone deals with today. These  two acts are The UK Sale of Goods Acts and the US Uniform Commercial Code.  These two acts have the main principles that define the code of commercial law.</p>
<p><strong>Admiralty Law</strong> &#8211; Is called Law of the Sea and this  basically regulates the trading and transport across the seas and oceans of the  world. This law tries to regulate the traffic across the waters which are  outside the boundary and hence outside the control of the country. There is the  difference with the ordinary commercial law that the shipping companies operate  with. The admiralty law encompasses many other things as well and these include  salvage, maritime liens, and even damage done to passengers and so on. This is  basically a very wide ranging legal discipline which tries and regulates the  order of the water bodies which include the seas and the oceans.</p>
<p><strong>Intellectual Law</strong> &#8211; Comes into play when it tries to  protect the original work of the creators along with the work that they are  aiming to preserve. It is all about regulating intellectual property and all  the rights that come along with it. These include copyrights, trademarks,  patents, and related rights. All these arise in the industrial, literary,  artistic and other suchlike related fields.</p>
<p><strong>Restitution</strong> &#8211; Is the law which deals with the process  of giving back a certain object to its rightful owner as gain through the task  of recovery.</p>
<p><strong>Unjust enrichment</strong> &#8211; Is  another branch of civil law where if someone has gained or been enriched on an  unfair or unjust basis, then that particular transaction can be reversed or  revoked. This revoking can be done even if that transaction had no solid basis  to it. The unjust enrichment law is the third pillar of civil law and the other  two are contract and tort.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The different religions around the world, all have their own  laws and regulations as to how their followers and devotees should conduct  themselves. Thus religious law is based on certain concepts, principles and  values which are inherent within that particular religion. There are many  religious laws and some of the most important examples would be the Sharia  which is the Islamic Law. Then there is also the Halakha which is the Jewish  religious code of law. These codes of law are usually very strictly followed by  the devout worshippers of their religions. Both the aforementioned laws mean  “path to follow”, in their respective languages.</p>
<p>While these forms of religious law exist, there are certain  church communities all over the world where the ancient Christian canon law  still survives very strongly indeed.</p>
<p>One of the main aspects of religious law  is the fact that religious law implies that it is the codified word of God and  hence, nothing in that code can be altered or modified, since it is the sacred  word of God and to do anything with it, is basically defiling the holy or  sacred nature of the matter and thus rendering it blasphemous. However, at  times, the legal system needs to complement the religious legal system. Thus at  times a certain human intervention is always required.</p>
<p>For example, certain aspects of the Islamic Law are very  interesting and deserve a mention here.</p>
<p>There is Qiyas which means reasoning  through analogy or example and then there is also Ijma or consensus and also precedent.  These are some of the aspects of Islamic Law in the Qur&#8217;an. All these aspects  are collated into a body of legal discipline and these are called Sharia and  Fiqh. In the Jewish Law there is the Torah or Old Testament. There is the Five  Books of Moses or what is known as the Pentateuch. This is the book that  contains all the basic principles of Jewish Law and this is used by most of the  Jewish communities.</p>
<p>There is also the Jewish Halakha  which has some of the basic religious precepts from the Talmud and has some of  the interpretations from the Talmud as well. As for the Christian Canon Law,  only a few church communities use it and these include the Roman Catholic  Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church as well as the Anglican Communion. These  are the only clergy who use it. Even till the 18th century, the  Sharia was followed by all Muslims in a very loosely knit and non codified  manner. This continued until the 19th century, when the Ottomans  developed the Mecelle Code and this was the first effort to codify the Sharia.  After that, there have been many more efforts to officially codify the Sharia  over and over again. There are certain countries like Egypt and Afghanistan which recognize Islam  as the state religion and therefore follow the Sharia as a legal system as  well. Saudi Arabia  has the Qur&#8217;an as its constitution as well.</p>
<p>Whilst reading up on legal matters do not overlook the importance of complying with uk government regulations when hiring the services of a <a href="http://www.orangegenie.com">contractor umbrella</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tort law basically protects people or individuals who have  been caused injury of any sort by other parties and seeks to get compensation  for the injured parties. Under this there are many categories of torts that are  there as legal disciplines. There is one traditional way of dividing them into  two sub divisions of Negligence Torts and Intentional Torts.</p>
<p>One of the main aspects of tort law is that of negligence.  Here one can claim damages or even injunctive relief. In these cases, the legal  rights and the property of people are protected and also financial interests as  well. Usually such claims of negligence come from situations like automobile  accidents, and even cases where the party was injured personally injured some  way or the other. Another cause in negligence cases is that of product  liability as well. Now comes the intentional torts as well. In these cases of  intentional torts there are torts which develop over land occupation and  disputes over that. Among these intentional torts, there is the tort of  nuisance where a neighbour interferes with his neighbor&#8217;s property. Then there  is the aspect of trespass which provides for those who would like to sue a  party for an invasion on to their private property in anyway what so ever. There  is a false imprisonment tort and also a defamation tort where someone makes a  charge or a statement about someone else which is not supported by evidence and  yet can be damaging to the other person&#8217;s reputation.</p>
<p>Then comes the statutory torts which are very similar to  some other torts. However, as the name goes, these torts are not created by the  courts of law but by the legislative bodies and the legislators. There are many  such torts and one such important one is the “consumer protection” tort. Here there  is a strict product liability where businesses and commercial enterprises are  responsible to their customers about the products they are providing and must  pay for it if there is any harm committed to the customers on their behalf.  These statutory torts also regulate safety of the employees in the workplace  and laws about health and safety as well.</p>
<p>The nuisance torts use the legal definition of nuisance  which has three meanings. Firstly a nuisance is an activity which can be  damaging to others. Secondly the harm which is causes as a result of the  activity also falls under the nuisance. And thirdly, the legal liability which  emerges as a result of the two aforementioned conditions.</p>
<p>The defamation torts are growing  increasingly common. This basically implies wrecking somebody&#8217;s reputation by  passing baseless allegations against that person. There are two aspects of  defamation and those are slander and libel. Slander is the kind of defamation  that is verbal while libel is in media which can be print or even broadcast.  There are many actions that are classified under the defamation torts and these  include misappropriation of publicity, invasion of privacy, and disclosure.  Abuse of process and malicious prosecution.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Government has designed the Consumer Law to protect the consumers. By other  means the consumer law or a right which is there to protect consumer’s safety  and the public health. You will discover that the consumer organization has  been produced for helping consumers to make better choice of the products they  buy. Let’s have a look at a latest example for a while. With trade in China  a number of toys has came in with lead paint. This disturbs the consumers  because a lead paint has been found to be harmful for the health. US  regulations are made against the use of lead paint. Hence for consumer law in  the U.S.  that introduction to lead based products works against the consumer laws of  public health and safety. The item has of course been evoked founded on the  consumer law.</p>
<p>There are more other areas where consumer law has been developed to save the  consumers too. You will learn public law which regulates private law for  consumers and businesses which provides goods as well as services. Also, you will  find privacy rights, product liability, fraud, business practices, advertising  law, misrepresentation, and laws that handles debt or credit repair are also  prepared for the consumers.</p>
<p>Few of the laws we are having based on the consumer law in the United States  with Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Truth in Lending Act, Credit Reporting  Act, and many more. Every state can as well have specific consumer laws. California is having a  department of consume affairs which regulates professions and professionals in  the state. It means that under the consumer law businesses and people are  needed to be fair in all consumer based companies.</p>
<p>The “National Consumer Law Centre” is a non profit organization of the United States  which regulates the consumer law of the country. You will find that they  provide legal services, private and government lawyers, and community  organization. If you search for the “National Consumer Law Centre” you will be  asking for help with a consumer law. In majority of the cases they will  represent the party who got injured. The lawyers will have to acquire the  information given and determined if there is enough proof for a case.</p>
<p>Consumer law, that is based on protecting the consumers or citizens of the  country are extremely significant, particularly when you think of the  technology. You will find the consumer law in advertising has been modified  dramatically we are longer viewing a fact in advertising, however a fudging of  the truth. So as to protect a consumer against the fake advertising or somewhat  misinterpreted advertising laws and lawyers must exist.</p>
<p>If you are in search of a lawyer of a consumer law, you may find “National  Consumer Law Centre” is a place to start with searching. Also, you can find  names by way of referrals or searching online the better business bureau. These  places will be helpful to you for getting the person who is most qualified to  help out with your type of case of a consumer law.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As  stated by the criminal law, offenses against the social order become crimes. In  the common law jurisdictions, there is a legal fiction that crimes spoil the  peace of the sovereign. As agents of the sovereign, government officials are responsible  for the prosecution of the criminals. Therefore, a criminal law –“plaintiff” is  the sovereign, that in practical terms converts to the people or the monarch.</p>
<p>Main  Objective of the Criminal law is punishment and deterrence, whereas the  objective of the civil law is individual compensation. Criminal Offenses  comprise two different elements; the requisite state of mind with which the act  is performed (the mens rea, guilty mind) and physical act. Such as, in case of  murder &#8216;actus reus  is the illegal killing of an individual, whereas the &#8216;mens rea is hatred aforethought  that means the intentional killing or produce dire injury. Also, the criminal  law specifies the punishment that can be inflicted. Criminal does not need a  victim or his consent to accuse an offender. Aslo, a criminal trial may occur  over the victim’s objection and the victim’s consent is not a defense in majority  of the crimes.</p>
<p>Criminal law in the majority of jurisdictions both in the civil and common  law traditions has been divided into two fields.</p>
<p>1. criminal procedure controls the process for dealing with infringements of  criminal law.</p>
<p>2. Substantive criminal law specifies the punishment for and definition of, several  crimes.</p>
<p>Criminal law differentiates offenses from civil wrongs like breach or tort of  contract. Criminal law has been considered as a system to control the behavior  of persons and groups for societal norms at large while civil law is intended  basically towards the relationship between individual persons and their rights  and obligations under the law. Even though a number of very old legal systems didn’t  clearly define a difference between civil and criminal law, in England there  was a slight difference until the codification of the criminal law took place  in the late 19th century. In the majority of the law schools in U.S.,  the basic course in criminal law is based on the English common criminal law  1750 with few inferior  American changes like  the explanation of mens rea in the Model Penal Code.</p>
<p>Criminal law types :</p>
<p>Juvenile Law, Drug Crimes, Drunk Driving / DUI / DWI , Probation,  Pardons, Parole, Violent Crimes, Military Law and  White Collar Crimes.</p>
<p>To study all these criminal law types you can refer the below suggested book  :</p>
<h1>“Bar Manual: Civil Litigation 2008/2009”</h1>
<p>By  <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Stuart Sime</span>, (Eitor)</p>
<p>With several questions about procedure appearing more repeatedly in the  civil courts than points of substantive law, it is necessary that junior  practitioners are having full working experience of the procedure employed  through the course of a civil litigation claim. Civil litigation is intended  for effective preparation the readers for practice by giving an outstanding  overview of the main procedures and principles related to a civil case. By all  aspects, the civil litigation process has been covered, from the use of  pre-action protocols, starting proceedings and selecting an appropriate track, right  through to costs, trials, enforcement and appeals.</p>
<p>Realistic example documentation and  forms, like statement of case and witness statements are incorporated  throughout making sure that reader is completely prepared for the type of  documents and forms that they will be needed to prepare practice. Entirely  referenced to Blackstone&#8217;s Civil Practice , this manual has been completely  revised for including latest cases law and statutory  advancements in this vibrant area of the law.</p>
<p>The another book to refer is -</p>
<p><strong>“We Shall Overcome: A History of Civil Rights and the  Law”</strong></p>
<p>By <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Tsesis  Alexander</span><strong> </strong>(Author)</p>
<p>In spite of America’s  pledge to civil rights from the initial days of   nationhood, cases of injustices against minorities mark lots of pages of  U.S.  history. The fight for ethic, racial, and gender fairness remains incomplete. This  complete book traces the legal efforts history to get civil rights for all of  the Americans, starting with the years directing towards the Revolution and  enduring to our own times. The historical escapade Alexander Tsesis narrates is  filled with enthralling incidents, with actual modification and inadequate negotiation,  and with brave people and organizations committed to end up injustice. Observing  the development of civil rights through the lens of legal history, Tsesis  believes law which has been restricted civil rights like Jim Crow prohibitions  and regulations against intermarriage and law which has been expanded rights  with anti segregation legislation and new legal developments in civil rights era.  He have focused  special interest in the  African American battle for civil rights however, talks on the  struggles of women, lesbians and gays,  Latinos, Jews, Japanese Americans and Native Americans too. He makes decision by  assessing the recent state of civil rights in the U.s. and exploring  probable potential<strong> </strong>expansions of civil rights.</p>

Once  the bankruptcy case has been finished, filers should be still attending another  counseling session to know more about individual monetary management.</p>
<p><strong>Property Values –</strong></p>
<p>Under the preceding bankruptcy law,  those who have filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy were permitted for placing a value on  their personal property depending on what they could vend it for on an auction.  The updated bankruptcy law demands for the property now be valued at replacement  value. It increases the value on the property and makes sure that more filers  will be having their property brought and sold by a trustee.</p>
<p><strong>Restricted eligibility – </strong></p>
<p>Formerly, it was possible to choose  between filing Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Under the newest bankruptcy  law, eligibility to file Chapter 7 is dependent on the income. An average  income of filer for the 6 months before filing bankruptcy should be under their  state’s median income.</p>
<p><strong>State Exemption – </strong></p>
<p>Under the updated bankruptcy law,  your state’s exemptions can be valid  as  long as you have been living in the state for two years. If you were in the  state for less than that, you will get the exemptions from the state in which  you were living before.</p>
