Die ärztliche Leichenschau ist in Deutschland der Schlüssel zur Unterscheidung zwischen einem natürlichen und einem nicht natürlichen Tod. Sie ist der neuralgischen Punkt, an dem entschieden wird, ob eine Untersuchung hinsichtlich Suizides oder Todes durch Fremdeinwirkung überhaupt infrage kommt.In Kreisen von Rechtsmedizinern und Dunkelfeldforschern kursiert eine plakative Zusammenfassung dieser Umstände:¿Wenn auf jedem Grab, in dem ein Verstorbener ruht, dessen Tötung nicht erkannt wurde, eine Kerze brennen würde, wären Deutschlands Friedhöfe nachts hell erleuchtet."Die Arbeit beschäftigt sich kritisch mit den rechtlichen und praktischen Problemen des Leichenschausystems sowie dessen gesellschaftliche und politische Relevanz. Dies führt zur Untersuchung der Frage:Besteht eine verfassungsrechtliche Notwendigkeit eines funktionierenden Leichenschausystems?

Konsensuale Erledigungsmethoden sind in der deutschen Strafprozessordnung schon lange kein Randphänomen mehr. Im Gegenteil ¿ in vielerlei Hinsicht dominieren sie den modernen deutschen Strafprozess. Ähnlich wie in Deutschland ist auch in den USA die Hauptverhandlung als zentrale Prozessphase ausgestaltet. Die Prozessrealität zeigt jedoch, dass etwa 97% aller Strafverfahren ohne Hauptverhandlung erledigt werden. Dabei handelt es sich aber nicht um eine systemimmanente Entwicklung, sondern eine seit den 7oer Jahren stattfindende Systemverschiebung. Die funktionale Methode der Rechtsvergleichung erlaubt es strafprozessuale Entwicklungen in Deutschland und den USA anhand ihrer Funktion in der jeweiligen Rechtsordnung zu analysieren, strukturelle Vergleiche zu ziehen und wenn möglich, entsprechende Schlüsse für die deutsche Rechtsordnung zu identifizieren und nutzbar zu machen. Der Fokus der vorliegenden Arbeit liegt nicht auf der viel diskutierten Verfassungsmäßigkeit konsensualer Erledigungsmethoden, sondern auf strukturellen Implikationen, die de facto bereits zu einer Systemverschiebung des Strafprozesses geführt haben. Den Schwerpunkt der Untersuchung bilden hierdurch produzierte oder perpetuierte Diskriminierungseffekte.

Despite a temporary decline in energy usage and emissions resulting from the confinement policies adopted by many states in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the world is not on track to meet the Paris Agreement climate change goals. In order to bridge the 'emissions gap' by 2030, the energy industry is critical to achieving the necessary cuts to emissions, however, it must also balance increasing energy demand with the need to achieve sustainability of energy supply for future generations. This requires the industry to transition from dependence on fossil-fuel sources and look to new technologies that underpin a low-carbon economy. Renewables are central to this transition. The increase in renewable energy capacity globally and the complex and relatively untested nature of renewables projects and the contracts underlying them give rise to a wide range of potential disputes. International arbitration has long been the preferred dispute resolution forum for the energy sector and is well placed to be the leading process for resolving the many and varied disputes that can arise in the lifetime of a renewables project. In light of the increased prevalence of renewable disputes, this Special Report considers:the defining characteristics of renewables projects; the scope for disputes to arise in the implementation of these projects at an inter-state, investor-state and commercial level;the suitability of arbitration to resolve these disputes, and how its processes can be adapted to resolve them in an efficient and effective way; andwhat the future of arbitration of renewable energy disputes might look like. Written for both a legal and non-legal audience, this Special Report is relevant to those interested in learning about the scope for disputes in the renewables sector, how they can be avoided, and how arbitration can best be deployed to prevent delay and help push energy transition forward.
