In Extradition Law, Miguel João Costa offers not only an exhaustive review of this legal area and of transnational criminal law more generally, but also innovative solutions for their reform. The book critically analyses numerous themes – from international cooperation in criminal matters to substantive criminal law and procedure, from human rights to nationality and refugee law, from public to private international law – at the national, European and global levels. Moreover, while it is a fundamentally normative study, it does not disregard the political and diplomatic dimensions of extradition either. The result is a new model based on mutual respect, enabling States to increase cooporation whilst preserving the integrity of their own criminal justice values and enhancing the respect for human rights.

There's never been a greater likelihood a company and its key people will become embroiled in a cross-border investigation. But emerging unscarred is a challenge. Local laws and procedures on corporate offences differ extensively - and can be contradictory. To extricate oneself with minimal cost requires a nuanced ability to blend understanding of the local law with the wider dimension and, in particular, to understand where the different countries showing an interest will differ in approach, expectations or conclusions. Against this backdrop, GIR has published the second edition of The Practitioner's Guide to Global Investigation. The book is divided into two parts with chapters written exclusively by leading names in the field. Using US and UK practice and procedure, Part I tracks the development of a serious allegation (whether originating inside or outside a company) - looking at the key risks that arise and the challenges it poses, along with the opportunities for its resolution. It offers expert insight into fact-gathering (including document preservation and collection, witness interviews); structuring the investigation (the complexities of cross-border privilege issues); and strategising effectively to resolve cross-border probes and manage corporate reputation.Part II features detailed comparable surveys of the relevant law and practice in jurisdictions that build on many of the vital issues pinpointed in Part I.

The Model Rules of Professional Conduct provides an up-to-date resource for information on legal ethics.

In this volume, black-letter Rules of Professional Conduct are followed by numbered Comments that explain each Rule's purpose and provide suggestions for its practical application. The Rules will help you identify proper conduct in a variety of given situations, review those instances where discretionary action is possible, and define the nature of the relationship between you and your clients, colleagues and the courts.

On 24th December 2020, just one week before the end of the transition period, the EU and UK brokered an agreement governing extradition between the UK and the Member States. That agreement is contained in Part 3 of the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement ('the TCA'), at Title VII, and applies to those who are arrested after 2300 on 31st December 2020. The TCA substantially replicates the Council Framework Decision 2002/584/JHA, but this is not to say that extradition to EU Member States will continue almost unchanged. There are some important and potentially radical differences between the wording of the two schemes, and the potential impact of the change in legal context should not be underestimated. In 'A Practical Guide to Extradition Law Post-Brexit', the members of Temple Garden Chambers' extradition team provide a guide to the operation of Part 1 of the Extradition Act 2003 ('the 2003 Act') in this new era, highlighting areas of likely continuity and change. They also introduce practitioners to cases under Part 2 of the 2003 Act, giving a clear and concise explanation of the procedural and substantive differences between the two regimes.
