Often overlooked, legal diversity also exists within religions. This article examines the interactions between the two. It discusses how church-state arrangements influence the internal legal pluralism of religious systems: how religious actors' depictions of church-state arrangements impact their self-perception of internal legal diversity. Understanding these often-overlooked nuanced and complex influences has descriptive and normative significance. This argument is demonstrated by analysing a case study: the modern transformations of a hyper-pluralistic doctrine in Jewish law, named 'Kim-Li'. Modern legal centralism rendered rabbinical reluctance towards its application. The article reveals the correlation between rabbinical interpretations of the doctrine and particular assumptions and aspirations regarding church-state structures. By employing legal pluralism/law and religion classifications, the article suggests that reactions to the 'shadow of the state' are more diverse and nuanced than the current literature foresees, and concludes by suggesting its rectification.","PeriodicalId":47225,"journal":{"name":"Oxford Journal of Legal Studies","volume":"45 3","pages":"583-611"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12395249/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144974023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this new digital frontier is also a site for sexual violence. Women users increasingly report non-consensual touching, image-based sexual abuses and novel forms of gendered harm, often trivialised and inadequately addressed by current laws. Accordingly, this article proposes the new concept and terminology of 'meta-rape' to better capture the intense and embodied nature of these forms of sexual violence. We also provide a new categorisation of experiences of sexual harassment and abuse in the metaverse, together with a comprehensive analysis of the role and application of criminal law in tackling meta-rape. We suggest, contrary to conventional approaches, that current criminal laws could apply to some forms of meta-rape. We also propose strengthening and future-proofing criminal law, with laws proscribing intimate intrusions. By reframing our understanding of meta-rape, we aim to address the prevalence and impact of these gendered and sexualised harms, providing robust avenues for victim redress and promoting safety and autonomy in emerging virtual spaces.","PeriodicalId":47225,"journal":{"name":"Oxford Journal of Legal Studies","volume":"45 3","pages":"554-582"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12395229/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144973710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

'Public protection appeals', used to challenge fitness to practise decisions considered to be 'insufficient' for the 'protection of the public', have created a welcome space for judicial scrutiny. Focusing on doctors, the present study of public protection appeals examines the contours of that scrutiny. It frames these appeals as a recalibration of the metaphorical 'regulatory bargain', finding that many of the resulting judgments signal a departure from traditional postures of 'deference' in professional regulation jurisprudence and a steady judicial assertion of jurisdiction over the core issue of 'seriousness' in doctor misconduct. Further exploration of that heightened scrutiny identifies several strands of new doctrine which fortify the regulatory regime in a variety of directions. This exploration also, however, isolates and critiques the emergence of a 'Bolton gloss'-a seam of cases which tilt decision making towards censure and risk disrupting regulatory strategies which have cultivated a commitment to rehabilitative approaches in the disciplinary process.","PeriodicalId":47225,"journal":{"name":"Oxford Journal of Legal Studies","volume":"45 2","pages":"476-505"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12163108/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144303285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this normative shift has not led to a reconceptualization of annexation, which is still understood as the extension of sovereignty through formal state acts. Maintaining the requirement of formal state acts, we argue, undermines the norm and is further analytically flawed and generates a rule-of-law problem: it fails to capture instances of undeclared annexation, and incentivises states to avoid formal proclamations of annexation to evade legal consequences. This article therefore proposes a new theory of annexation. Drawing on theories of bureaucracy and administration, we suggest three qualifications for annexation: the normative organising framework with which the state manages the territory reflects a perception of the territory as part of its own; the organisational structure of control assimilates the management of the territory into the bureaucratic machinery of the state; and the symbolic performance of power erases symbolic differences between the territory and the annexing state. This reconceptualisation of annexation may support the goal of the contemporary international legal order to suppress aggressive use of force and ensure the self-determination of peoples.","PeriodicalId":47225,"journal":{"name":"Oxford Journal of Legal Studies","volume":"45 2","pages":"447-475"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12163119/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144303282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using Universal Credit to illustrate its points, this article argues that the distributed infrastructures upon which digital government programmes rely create extended chains of decision-making actors. Each link along the chain is responsible for decision-making components, such as data entry and interpretation. This phenomenon has three significant effects. First, it distributes administrative responsibilities widely. Second, it 'publicises' actors previously considered 'private', by integrating companies and landlords into public decision-making processes. Third, it bureaucratically disempowers, because it makes it difficult for all actors to recognise and address errors. In some cases, it prevents them from knowing they are involved in decision-making processes at all. Drawing on public administration, socio-legal studies and public law scholarship, we reconceptualise 'administrative burden', 'bureaucratic disentitlement' and 'privatisation' to show how this distribution of responsibilities within novel 'decision chains' raises critical questions for public law.","PeriodicalId":47225,"journal":{"name":"Oxford Journal of Legal Studies","volume":"45 2","pages":"415-446"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12163124/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144303283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
