If a Charge was Brought Against a Saintly Religious Leader Whose Intention Was to Save Souls: An Analysis of UK Parliamentary Debates over Incitement to Hatred on the Grounds of Sexual Orientation

By far the most contentious issue in debates about the legislation concerned the types of speech that would be captur…

An Essentially Private Manifestation of Human Personality: Constructions of Homosexuality in the European Court of Human Rights
This article explores the continuing evolution of the European Convention on Human Rights in respect of homosexuality. In considering the Court’s case law as a mechanism through which homosexuality is discursively constructed, the article examines how this discourse both enables and constrains human rights in relation to sexual orientation in contemporary Europe. The discursive construction of homosexuality that underlies the Court’s interpretati…

Dedicating’ Copyright to the Public Domain
This article explores whether authors can dedicate their copyright to the public domain. Such dedications are becoming increasingly relevant as authors now see the expansion of the public domain as value in itself. This is facilitated by organisations providing pro forma documents for dedicating works to the public domain. However, there has been no real consideration of what, if any, legal effect a dedication to the public might have. This artic…
Seasons in hell: Charles S. Johnson and the 1930 Liberian Labor Crisis

The Turnabout in the Insanity Defense
For over a century the dominant test of legal insanity in the United States was that set out by the English judges in Daniel M'Naghten's case in 1843, under which it must be "clearly proved that, at the time of the committing of the act, the party accused was laboring under such a defect of reason, from disease of the mind, as not to know the nature and quality of the act he was doing; or if he did know it, that he did not know he was doing what …
Do You Sincerely Want to Be Radical
Eleven o'clock news. A gauzy-bearded boy, his face pressed so hard against the camera the focus cannot be maintained, screams, Off the pigs! All power to the people! An unseen interviewer mellifluously asks him, How would you describe the goals of your organizations? Destruction of existing repressive structures. Social control of the means of production. Could you tell our viewing audience what you mean by 'means of production'? The camera is be…
