Dear Colleagues:

 

Congratulations go out to ODGers Kate Falconer, Kit Barker and Andrew Fell  on their recent publication with Hart:

 

Life and Death in Private Law

Edited by Kate Falconer, Kit Barker and Andrew Fell

 

Private law regulates life; this is self-evident, but how does it regulate death? This edited collection explores this question.

 

Life and death are the beginning and end of the legal person: the instigator and terminator of rights, interests and obligations. They are also the nominal separator of particular fields of law (medical law from succession law, for example). As such they act as fault lines that can test the limit of private law principles and norms. This book explores what life and death tell us about private law and what private law can tell us about the meaning and value of life and death.

 

Kate Falconer is Lecturer at the School of Law and Radical Humanities Laboratory, University College Cork, Ireland.

Kit Barker is Fellow of the Australian Academy of Law and Current Director

of the Australian Centre of Private Law at the TC Beirne School of Law, Australia.

Andrew Fell is Lecturer at the TC Beirne School of Law, University of Queensland, Australia.
