The Judicial Mind
This collection of essays is a tribute to Lord Kerr of Tonaghmore, who died aged 72 on 1 December 2020 after having retired from the UK Supreme Court just two months earlier. Brian Kerr was appointed as a judge of the High Court of Northern Ireland in 1993.

Diverse Voices in Tort Law
This captivating book explores uncharted territory in tort law, shedding light on underexplored viewpoints in the field.

Written by experts in the main areas of tort law from negligence to defamation and personal torts, chapters will: • deepen students’ understanding of the central concepts and practices of tort law; • uncover the power imbalances and privileges that underpin tort law decisions and their impact on lived experiences; • amplify under-represented voices by signposting to the work and ideas of scholars that are less visible in the field. Integrating marginalised perspectives into the curriculum and discourse, this indispensable textbook paves the way for a more inclusive and comprehensive understanding of tort law.

Embodiment and the Law
Samuel Walker proposes that our experiences of embodiment play an important role in the development of our normative values and that the legal system should adopt an embodied understanding of all individuals. Rethinking current legal paradigms, he challenges the notion that bodies can be understood in isolation from networks of connections and suggests ways that the law can be adjusted to improve its treatment of our bodies. The book provides a comprehensive approach to the analysis of bodies in legal contexts, discussing an alternative model of legal subjects to the traditional judicial concept.
Family Law Reform Now
This collection provides a snapshot of big ideas in family law reform. The book asks: if you could change one part of family law, what would it be? This deceptively simple question is answered by 10 family law experts and debated within the volume by expert respondents. The book puts the proposal first, forcing authors (and their respondents) to critically engage with what family law should look like, and where the development of law is needed to address the changing landscape of family life. Cultural and religious plurality, the use of technology, and changes in societal attitudes have all had an impact on the continuing evolution of families. As a consequence, the law has some complex challenges to address in its attempt to regulate familial diversity. This book is an invaluable resource for scholars of family law, practitioners, policymakers, or anyone more broadly interested in family law reform, and serves as a companion to Hart Publishing's landmark Criminal Law Reform Now.
