With the publication of Fairly sharing 1.5:
national fair shares of a 1.5 °C -
compliant global mitigation effort in the journal International Environmental Agreements: Politics,
Law and Economics, we finally have a peer reviewed overview of our effort sharing framework.
The responsibility to check that the product actually is
compliant with the
law,
with or without the claim of a presumption of conformity, remains
with the
national market surveillance authorities under the subsidiarity principle.
Re: lawyers practising in association
with non-lawyers: - Absolutely necessary because: (1) technology will be the basis of almost all
laws, therefore we will have to practice
with other experts in that technology; (2) records management
law will be a major area of practice because, records are the most frequently used form of evidence and e-records depend for everything on their e-records management systems (ERMSs), and they must be
compliant with the
National Standards of Canada for e-records management, which standards require legal opinions, and every significant change to an ERMS requires a legal opinion re ability to produce records able to satisfy
laws as to e-discovery, admissibility of evidence, privacy & access to information, electronic commerce, tax
laws, and compliance
with National Standards of Canada for e-records management; (3) all new technologies require a legal framework, which means more work for lawyers; and, (4) otherwise, other professions and service providers who now provide «legal information,» will begin to provide «legal advice» and other services that only lawyers should be providing.
