Zusammenfassung:This book examines the role of the law and legal institutions in coping with the risks and uncertainties that pervade our lives. It examines key concerns such as how issues relating to risks can be dealt with by means of legal processes and how risks can be controlled through different legal formulations and techniques. The contents cover a wide range of risk issues as they arise in legal contexts, ranging from the problems of assessing risks within the criminal justice system to the difficulties that judges encounter in processing risk-laden issues through the courts. This study brings together papers delivered at the WG Hart Legal Workshop of 1995, held at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies in London.
