For the last fifty years, intermediate federal appellate courts have produced "published" and "unpublished" opinions at the discretion of the judge ruling on the case. When an opinion is labelled as published, it is something that all future judges in that jurisdiction must follow, but when a ruling is designated as unpublished, it only resolves the isolated dispute instead of creating a legal precedent. Selective Publication in the U.S. Courts of Appeals compares these two types of opinions to reveal and understand inequalities created by the practice of selective publication.

Diese Monografie zielt darauf ab, den Fremdvergleichsgrundsatz steuerlicher Verrechnungspreise wissenschaftlich und praxisorientiert weiterzuentwickeln. Im Fokus steht die geschäftsvorfallbezogene Gewinnaufteilungsmethode (PSM), bisher als Notfallmethode mit hoher Rechtsunsicherheit betrachtet. Durch Strukturierung und Analyse wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse sowie durch Experteninterviews mit Steuerberatern und Vertretern der Finanzverwaltung wird der Kenntnisstand zur PSM in Deutschland erweitert. Transparenz über ihre Anwendung und das Verhalten fremder Dritter wird geschaffen und die Existenz von Konsenspotenzialen belegt. Ferner wird Reformbedarf für die Präzisierung der Regelwerke und konsensfördernde Hilfsmittel aufgezeigt. Diese Monografie verdeutlicht die Notwendigkeit einer länderübergreifenden Standardisierung der PSM und zeigt, dass der Fremdvergleichsgrundsatz durch die PSM systemkonform weiterentwickelt werden kann.

Doppelrechtsverhältnisse gewinnen im Arbeitsrecht zunehmend an Bedeutung. Entsendungen im In- und ins Ausland, Sabbaticals oder die Bestellung von Arbeitnehmern zu Betriebsbeauftragten sind in größeren Unternehmen keine Einzelfälle mehr.

Dabei geht es um die Frage, ob ein Fehlverhalten eines Arbeitnehmers, das in einem anderen Rechtsverhältnis an den Tag gelegt wurde, auf das Arbeitsverhältnis durchschlagen kann. Die Autorin analysiert dazu insbesondere Gerichtsentscheidungen der letzten Jahre und leitet allgemeine Grundsätze ab.

What do these reflections on the EU financial constitution reveal about the development of European integration as a whole?

This ambitious, innovative project examines the principle of effective judicial protection in EU law over two volumes. The principle of effective judicial protection is a cornerstone of the EU's judicial system and is re-affirmed in Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. Since the 1980s the Court of Justice has used the principle to shape EU and national procedural rules; more recently, the principle has acquired an even more central role in the EU constitutional structure. In the second volume an expert team explores how the national courts have applied Article 47 and the principle of effective judicial protection. It takes a comparative overview of the case law to assess the level of convergence (or divergence) of the national courts' approaches. The questionnaire methodology allows for an accurate charting of national courts' application of Article 47 at the domestic level. Given the wide application of Article 47, the collection will be of interest to EU constitutional scholars, comparative lawyers, as well as civil servants at both the national and EU level.

A much-loved mother, teacher and friend steps on a plane for an overseas adventure and is never seen again. When Marion Barter disappeared in 1997, police initially dismissed it as the actions of a divorced mother abandoning her family. In this book, the creators of the addictive global hit podcast The Lady Vanishes detail the winding investigation into Marion's disappearance, from tentative early police efforts to her daughter's 27-year search for answers. The Lady Vanishes is an engrossing story of how a small team of seasoned investigative journalists and storytellers, a daughter's intuition and a team of listener super-sleuths uncovered a web of intrigue spanning nine decades and three continents, and how - after 57 episodes, 20 million downloads and sparking a coronial inquiry - they discovered at the heart of the mystery a stranger-than-fiction international man of mystery who could hold the key to what really happened to Marion.
