- ItemAcademic Freedom: a Choice Between Conservative or Liberal Perceptions – the Case of the United States(Wydawnictwo KUL, 2020-09-01) Maćkowska, KatarzynaIt is only the minimum extent to which the law becomes the instrument of coping with social tautness regarding the academic freedom. On the one hand, legal provisions significantly limit the number of cases related to hate crimes but on the other, they sometimes narrow a discussion due to difficulties in harmonizing individual’s rights and campuses’ perception - a phenomenon, which in the U.S. had been called as “chilling” the freedom. Undoubtedly, the enactment of free speech or academic freedom regulations at universities is necessary as it helps to prevent from a “hate speech” but the legal shape of this process has been strictly connected to a determination for either liberal or conservative description of the academic freedom. Regarding the newest Niche’s rankings, ten universities have been selected, five out of the most liberal and five the most conservative public ones. Furthermore, two catholic universities have been added to describe differences in defining the academic freedom. Moreover, some references have been made to the U.S. Supreme Court decisions, and the very fundamental documents, namely the 1940 Statement and Harvard Free Speech Guidelines. In the separate article a problem of legislative acts that had been enacted for the past two years in a response to Report of the Committee on Freedom of Expression by the University of Chicago of 2014 will be covered. A few remarks upon this matter have been hereby made, though. The article is based on a dogmatic legal method, including quotations of legal sources and their subsequent analysis.
- ItemAccess to a Lawyer for a Suspect at Early Stage of Criminal Proceedings and Its Participation in Investigative Acts(Wydawnictwo KUL, 2020-06-30) Dzierżanowska, JoannaThis elaboration is dedicated to analysis of access to a lawyer for a suspect at early stage of criminal proceedings in Polish criminal law in the light of directive 2013/48/EU. In particular, it emphasizes the suspect's right of access to a lawyer during identity parade, confrontation and reconstruction of the scene of a crime. It considers whether the applicable legal provisions of the Polish Code of Criminal Procedure ensure, above all, appropriate scope of the right of the defence for the suspected person in view of the indicated evidentiary activities and whether this scope corresponds to the standards designated by the European Union directive 2013/48/EU.
- ItemAccess to a Lawyer for Suspects at the Police Station and During Detention Proceedings(Wydawnictwo KUL, 2020-06-30) Markiewicz, TymonDirective 2013/48/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2013 on the right of access to a lawyer lays down minimum standards concerning access to a lawyer for suspects and the accused in criminal proceedings, as well as persons subject to the European arrest warrant proceedings. The present article focus on the subject of access to a lawyer at the earliest stage of criminal proceedings – in connection with arrest as well as during proceedings concerning the use of pre-trial detention. Author analyzes in sequence: subjective scope of the right to a lawyer, the right to a lawyer for the person deprived of liberty, confidentiality of communications between the person deprived of liberty and their lawyer. The main statement is that Poland does not meet that standard.
- ItemAccess to a Lawyer in Proceedings for Minor Offences Under Polish and European Union Law(Wydawnictwo KUL, 2020-06-30) Bień-Węgłowska, IwonaThe Article deals with the opportunity for a suspected person and the passive party in the proceedings for offences to exercise the right of access to a lawyer and the right of legal counsel. The aim of the article is to provide a comparative legal analysis of the provisions of the Code of Procedure in Minor Offences against the background of the EU guarantees under Directives 2013/48/EU and 2016/1919/EU. Directive 2013/48/EU deals with one of the two aspects of the aforementioned right: namely the right of access to a lawyer for suspects and accused persons in criminal proceedings, while the right to legal aid and to state-guaranteed legal assistance in certain circumstances is regulated by Directive 2016/1919/EU.
- ItemApplication of the General Clause of Reasonableness and Criterion of Rationality in Polish Tax Law(Wydawnictwo KUL, 2020-12-11) Münnich, MonikaThis paper’s objective is to present two methods of introducing elements of the civil general clause of reasonableness into tax law. One of them is the lawmaking process, the other is the application of law, i.e. the decisions of tax authorities and the jurisprudence of national administrative courts.
- ItemBusiness in the U.S. Democracy(Wydawnictwo KUL, 2020-09-01) Solymossy, EmericThis paper discusses a model of business in a “democracy” by identifying the three underlying concepts; the individual, the collective (society), and the government (system and mechanics). Furthermore, each of these elements is also a multi-factor construct. The foundations and development of the United States is discussed. The exploration, discovery and development of any new country require risk taking and innovative behavior, which was instrumental in the creation of heroes and myths, which shaped much of the culture. From this background, some of the principle characteristics of the entrepreneur are explored and correlated to some generally accepted measures of national culture. The concepts are developed; their inter-relationships and the resulting dynamics are presented. The foundation(s) and uniqueness of the U.S. form of democracy is explored as a government typology. Data is presented exhibiting the variability of business confidence, and a conclusion is reached that the attitudes and policies of the government have a greater impact on business formation and success than the form of government.
- ItemCampus Governance in U.S. Universities and Colleges(Wydawnictwo KUL, 2020-09-01) Laforge, William N.The governance of universities and colleges in the United States basically follows the concept and spirit of democracy embraced by the nation from its birth. The systems and practices in place at most U.S. institutions of higher learning include collaborative, representative, or collective decision-making arrangements known as shared governance. However, these systems and practices are hardly uniform due to the diversity of governance patterns that reflect the unique and different history, needs, and mission of a particular institution. Sometimes they are differentiated from, and contrasted with, corporate, business, and more authoritarian or centralized forms of institutional governance. In contrast with university governance elsewhere in the world—that can range from strong central government control to private self-regulated operations—the U.S. forms of campus governance have emerged in a country that does not have centralized authority over education. U.S. institutions of higher learning respond to a variety of controls and interests that are on display variously at public, private non-profit, private for-profit, and religious universities. Governance, authority, and administration are spread across a wide spectrum of players, including governing boards; presidents, chancellors, and other administrators; the academy/faculty; administrative staff; campus committees; students; and, even some external factors. Shared governance is not a perfect formula or panacea for university administration and decision-making. It does, however, provide a methodology, system, and concept that can help guide the leadership of a university as it approaches the administration and conduct of its educational responsibilities. In today’s higher education environment, the term governance is rather expansive. In one sense, it means top-down governance that is the rightful role and authority of an institutional board charged with overseeing policy, programming, performance, and executive guidance and evaluation. But, it also variously means the use of institutional strategies, operations, and components to distribute, disseminate, and “share” authority and responsibilities for a university’s administrative, management, and decision-making functions, i.e., “on-campus governance.” In this respect, shared governance “borrows” many of the attributes and principles of democratic government. In any case, shared governance, in its many forms and applications, is widely practiced in U.S. universities, including Delta State University.
- ItemCommunity Partnerships(Wydawnictwo KUL, 2020-09-01) Thomas, Adrainne; Casale, CarolynAn egalitarian model of university-school partnerships starts with a theoretical frame of equity and social justice. This qualitative research study sought to understand high school students’ perception of community service through an intergenerational university-high school-elementary school partnership. Data analysis consisted of detailed notes collected from university faculty who oversaw the focus group discussions and two graduate assistants who took observational notes. These notes were analyzed and thematically organized. The findings indicate that the students enjoyed the experience and were highly motivated to complete and read their community themed book for the younger children in their community. This research contributes new knowledge to the field of community engagement and to the field of informal and formal education through its analysis of discussions on meaningful community service pertaining to university-school collaborative partnerships.
- ItemCouncillor Clubs in Communes in Poland and France(Wydawnictwo KUL, 2021-02-19) Augustyniak, MonikaThe article presents the legal status of councillor clubs in Poland and in France. It discusses establishment and functioning of clubs that are usually created on the basis of political criteria, in the light of a councillor’s free mandate and social control. It presents elements of club’s financing and possibility to express opinions by minority clubs in a council. The analysis of the legal status of councillor clubs leads to conclusions and determination of the direction of changes in the scope of the research concerned. The legal status of councillor clubs corresponds to the issue of quality of democratisations of a self-governing authority. Therefore, specification of premises determining organisation and operation of councillor clubs in a municipal council is a significant regime-related issue. The problems related to functioning of the councillor clubs in the Polish and French legal orders is currently a challenge for contemporary local self-government.
- ItemDifferent Forms of Violence – Selected Issues(Wydawnictwo KUL, 2020-12-11) Mikołajczuk, KrzysztofViolence has been part of the human history since its very beginning. As some believe, it is “Cain’s sin” that determines violent human behaviour. Though this belief is obviously simplified, it reflects the nature of man. We are eager to seek evil in others, in individuals and in social structures. It is not just the family that is oppressive. Violence is ubiquitous; it is inflicted by peer groups, social classes, organisations, and by the state. Violence is commonly defined as social behaviour against someone or something, the aggressor being on one side and the victim on the other. Usually, a narrow definition of violence is used; i.e., violence is understood as the use of force to obtain from others what they are not willing to give or what they do not want to do. However, violence is a more complex phenomenon. Some forms of violence are sophisticated and difficult to discern, not only in the behaviour of others but also in our own actions. Violence occurs on a micro-scale in the form of pressure, extortion, inducement, or restrictions, and on a macro-scale – as wars, crises, terroristic acts, or revolutions. Violence is not only physical and psychological; it may also be personal, structural, hidden, explicit, emotional, and rational. What follows, it takes place in a wide array of spaces: in culture, sport, politics, the media, in the public space and at home. Therefore, the narrow definition of violence fails to include many of its aspects, and as such it is not practical. Using such a definition, we are left with extreme cases, so in fact we define pathologies. A serious difficulty in defining violence is connected with defining human rights in a unified way. These vary from culture to culture and have been evolving throughout history. Violation of these rights constitutes the essence of what is referred to as violent behaviour. Each society defines and attempts to prevent violence differently, and also in its own way indicates those who judge the perpetrators of prohibited acts.
- ItemDirective 2013/48/EU and the Requested Person’s Right to Appoint a Lawyer in the Issuing Member State in European Arrest Warrant Proceedings(Wydawnictwo KUL, 2020-06-30) Glerum, VincentDirective 2013/48/EU gives persons who are subject to European arrest warrant proceedings the right to “dual representation”: not only the right of access to a lawyer in the executing Member State but also the right to appoint a lawyer in the issuing Member State, whose limited role it is to provide information and advice to the lawyer in the executing Member State with a view to the effective exercise of the requested person’s rights under Framework Decision 2002/584/JHA. The right to appoint a lawyer in the issuing Member State is supposed to contribute to facilitating judicial cooperation. This article takes a closer look at that right and tries to establish whether – and, if so, to what extent – that right does indeed facilitate judicial cooperation.
- Item“Dual Legal Representation” of a Requested Person in European Arrest Warrant Proceedings – Remarks from the Polish Perspective(Wydawnictwo KUL, 2020-06-30) Wąsek-Wiaderek, MałgorzataW artykule podjęto próbę udzielenia odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy prawo polskie oferuje możliwość tzw. "podwójnej reprezentacji", jak tego wymaga art. 10 dyrektywy unijnej 2013/48 oraz art. 5 dyrektywy unijnej 2016/1919. Analiza obejmuje obie perspektywy, to znaczy zbadano zarówno możliwość realizowania prawa do "podwójnej reprezentacji" w postępowaniu w sprawie wykonania Europejskiego Nakazu Aresztowania prowadzonym w Polsce, jak i prawo do wyznaczenia obrońcy w Polsce jako kraju wydania tego nakazu. Rozważania dotyczą jedynie Europejskich Nakazów Aresztowania wydanych w celu ścigania. Chociaż oba wymienione przepisy dyrektyw nie zostały wdrożone do prawa krajowego, ich bezpośrednie stosowanie może zapewnić pełne korzystanie przez osobę ściganą z prawa do "podwójnej reprezentacji". Dzięki temu, że prawo polskie traktuje osobę ściganą jak oskarżonego w postępowaniu karnym, Kodeks postępowania karnego oferuje podstawy prawne do ustanowienia/wyznaczenia osobie ściganej obrońcy w Polsce jako kraju wydania Europejskiego Nakazu Aresztowania.
- ItemEffective Access to Defence Counsel in the Judicial Stage of Polish Criminal Proceedings in the Scope of Directives 2013/48/EU and 2016/1919/EU(Wydawnictwo KUL, 2020-06-30) Zbiciak, AdrianArtykuł analizuje niektóre przepisy polskiego Kodeksu postępowania karnego dotyczące prawa oskarżonego do dostępu do obrońcy, ograniczonego do etapu postępowania przed sądem, w kontekście przepisów dwóch aktów prawnych UE dotyczących tej kwestii: Dyrektywy 2013/48/UE i Dyrektywy 2016/1919/UE. Przepisy polskiego k.p.k. co do zasady spełniają standard Dyrektywy 2013/48. Pewien problem może wystąpić w sytuacji, gdy wyznaczony jest obrońca z urzędu, a sąd zdecyduje się prowadzić postępowanie pod jego nieobecność. Nawet co do tej kwestii przepisy dają możliwość procedowania zgodnie ze standardem unijnym. Jeśli chodzi o wymogi wynikające z Dyrektywy 2016/1919, polskie przepisy dotyczące etapu postępowania sądowego spełniają normę unijną nawet w poziomie wyższym, niż minimalny. Jedyny znaczący problem może wynikać z obowiązku złożenia wniosku o wyznaczenie obrońcy z urzędu w ściśle określonym terminie, nadal jednak dzięki konkretnym rozwiązaniom gwarancyjnym przewidzianym w polskim k.p.k. standard Dyrektywy 2016/1919 jest zachowany.
- ItemEnvironmental Management of ISO 14001 System Enforcement in EU Countries(Wydawnictwo KUL, 2021-02-19) Zębek, Elżbieta MałgorzataThe European Union International Organization for Standardization management system for the environment (ISO 14001) is established by European Commission Regulation 1221/2009. This legislates a voluntary system where organizations can register in a community eco-management and audit scheme. In the literature, this standard is recognized as an instrument of international environmental protection law, introduced by soft law regulations. ISO 14001 has been implemented by many global and European organizations, and it strives to improve the quality of their environmental resources. It was considered that the ISO 14001 eco-management and audit scheme enforced protection of environment in EU countries by imposing the obligation to implement appropriate legal regulations in this area. This article aims is determine what legal solutions in chosen UE countries enable the effective implementation of ISO 14001 and what positive effects it has on the state of the environment in these countries. The results demonstrated that the number of certified organizations is increasing despite the many difficulties and costs of implementing and organizing required environmental protection areas. The implementation of ISO 14001 was described using the example of Poland and Italy compared to other EU countries. The uptake identifies improved environmental quality, and this is confirmed by indicators of decreasing gas emissions and increasing waste recycling which improve global air, soil and water quality. The higher implementation index of the ISO 14001 standard in Italy translates into higher environmental quality indicators in this country than in Poland.
- ItemFinancial-Law Problems in Providing Free-of-Charge Legal Aid in Poland. Legal Comparative Aspects(Wydawnictwo KUL, 2021-02-19) Świstak, MarzenaFree-of-charge legal assistance remains one of the key areas of state activity. However, the system created is not optimal and its formal, organisational and financial framework needs to be modified. This concerns not only an increase in the amounts of funding, but also the quality of services provided. Not only is the choice of the legal and organisational model of providing legal assistance doubtful, but also the subjective and objective scope of the statutory regulations (including in the context of interpretation of tax regulations) raise some objections. As a postulate for the law as it should stand de lege ferenda), it is proposed to make appropriate legislative changes, aimed not only at clarifying the content of the provisions, or removing the legislative inconsistencies found, but also at thoroughly considering a remodelling of the legal assistance system in Poland. The above conclusions were formulated against the backdrop of the organisational and financial legal solutions adopted in other countries. To this end, the author used the formal-dogmatic and comparative legal methods, and also resorted to the historical method as an auxiliary method, in order to show the evolution of the institution under analysis.
- ItemGloss to the Judgement of the Court of Justice of the European Union in Case C 129/18, SM versus Entry Clearance Officer, UK Visa Section(Wydawnictwo KUL, 2020-03-31) Woch, KatarzynaThe right of family members of Union citizens to live with them in the host Member State has always been considered essential for effective freedom of movement of citizens. However, the provisions of Directive 2004/38/EC contain a different description of the scope of rights of family members of Union citizens taking advantage of the freedom of movement of persons as to the possibility of accompanying or joining EU citizens taking advantage of the freedom of movement of persons, depending on whether they belong to the circle of ‘closer’ or ‘distant’ family members. This issue acquires particular significance in the context of family members who are not citizens of any Member State of the Union. For individuals belonging to the circle of ‘closer’ family members, the EU legislator grants the subjective right to accompany or join a Union citizen exercising the right of the freedom of movement of persons. In the latter case, the legislator only obliges the host Member States to facilitate entry and residence for such individuals in accordance with their national legislation. The glossed judgment, by determining the status of individuals under legal guardianship within the framework of the Algerian kafala system as a ‘distant’ family member of a Union citizen, clearly touches upon a significant issue in the context of the Union’s freedom of movement of persons.
- ItemGovernment Agencies in Poland – an Example of Agencification of Public Administration. Comparative Legal Analysis of Selected Models of Agencies in European Countries(Wydawnictwo KUL, 2019-12-31) Bieś-Srokosz, PaulinaTermin „uagencyjnianie” stanowi propozycję na określenie procesu tworzenia agencji rządowych, który przypada na początek lat 90. ubiegłego wieku. Według Autora niniejszego artykułu określenie to powinno zostać przyjęte do siatki pojęć polskiego prawa administracyjnego. Jednym z powodów jest fakt, że przedstawiciele doktryny prawa administracyjnego z innych państw, swobodnie, od kilkunastu lat, posługują się tym pojęciem właśnie w takim rozumieniu, jak zostało to przedstawione w tym opracowaniu. Stąd też, w artykule dokonano odniesień do modeli agencji w państwach europejskich, w których stanowią one przykład ważnych podmiotów w danym systemie prawnym.
- ItemHarmonising Accessibility in the EU Single Market: Challenges for Making the European Accessibility Act Work(Wydawnictwo KUL, 2020-12-31) Drabarz, Anna KatarzynaIn the last decade, accessibility has become a buzzword not only among actors of the civil society advocating for the rights of persons with disabilities but also among the legislators in the European Union. The EU has adopted a series of binding regulations aiming at approximating the common understanding of accessibility and Member States’ approach to operationalising the right. Being part of EU harmonised law, the European Accessibility Act has already been considered a milestone in the process. The choice of an approach / approaches will decide about a success of its transposition into Member States legal systems.
- ItemHuman Dignity Concepts in Judicial Reasoning. Study of National and International Law(Wydawnictwo KUL, 2020-12-11) Doroszewska, KatarzynaMany modern legal systems declare, that protection of human dignity plays an important role in its construction. Therefore, a question may be asked if the concept of dignity is similar in different legal systems. The following paper presents the results of the research on human dignity concepts in reasoning of national (Polish and German Supreme Courts) and international courts (ICC, ECHR). Both national systems provide a constitutional protection of human dignity, Rome Statute, which constitutes the ICC, prohibits behaviours infringing dignity (model of Geneva Conventions), whereas the European Convention of Human Rights does not include the term “human dignity”, only prohibition of torture or “inhuman or degrading treatment”, what is understood as protection of dignity. On the basis of the research there could be stated, that each legal system has developed its own concept of human dignity, although all concepts have a similar core, as nearly all ways of understanding “protection of human dignity” are combined with a commitment to respect each person. This kind of respect could be assumed as a basis of human dignity protection.
- ItemImplementation of the European Union Requirement to Coordinate Activities of Public Administration Authorities in the Process of the Authorisation, Certification, and Licensing of Renewable Energy Sources Investments(Wydawnictwo KUL, 2019-12-31) Sobieraj, KamilaThe aim of this article is analysis of one of the barriers to the functioning of procedures for authorization, certification and licensing of RES investments - lack of coordination in actions of the public administration authorities while conducting those procedures, both in the context of EU law, as much national laws of selected Member States. Why this barrier is still dominant? The article is devoted to analysis of possible and applied models for such coordination in the area of RES investments. Attention has also been drawn to restrictions which should be taken under consideration by Member States while the regulations regarding procedures coordination implementing. Constructing and applying of coordination of public administration authorities activities in such a way as it might contribute to streamlining and accelerating administrative procedures in the area of RES investments and consequently achieve a designated RES energy share in the final gross energy consumption, is not an easy task. Inappropriately constructed and applied mechanisms may lead to an exactly opposite effect
