Cooperative federalism is predicated largely on a web of more or less informal, ongoing intergovernmental relationships and institutional arrangements that seek to adapt the formal structure of the Constitution to the economic and social needs and fiscal realities of a modern federal state. Taken in that light, it is perhaps less a principle than a practice, and more political than legal in its nature and substance...  1, record 1, English, - cooperative%20federalism

Designer drugs are synthetic psychoactive substances chemically engineered to mimic the effects of traditional illegal drugs, such as cocaine, cannabis, or MDMA [3, 4-methylenedioxymetamphetamine].... The creation of designer drugs involves maintaining a slightly different chemical structure from scheduled substances. This difference in molecular composition is intended to exploit loopholes in drug control laws, allowing the substances to be marketed as "legal highs. "  2, record 2, English, - designer%20drug

Parece que el término "designer drugs" fue acuñado por Gary Henderson, un farmacéutico de la Universidad de California, en los años sesenta incorporando ese doble sentido: 1. Drogas que podían fabricarse en laboratorios clandestinos y que podían diseñarse a la medida del consumidor para imitar los efectos de otras drogas cuyo tráfico era delito. 2. Drogas que, por su novedad estructural, no podían estar incorporadas en los estatutos legales, evitando así la persecución penal.

"Dwelling" is now chiefly poetic, or used in legal or technical contexts, as in a lease or in the phrase "multiple dwelling.

Associations of states. Independent states may enter into forms of co-operation by consent and on an equal basis. The basis for the co-operation may be the constitution of an international organization, such as the United Nations or the World Health Organization. However, by treaty or custom other structures for maintaining co-operation may be created. One such structure, the confederation, has in practice either disintegrated or been transformed into a federation. In recent times the British Commonwealth of Nations and the French Community have provided examples of associations of states of a special type. Membership of these two associations would not necessarily affect the primary legal capacities and personality of member states any more than membership of an organization and has less effect than membership of some organizations, for example, the European Economic Community, which has a slight federal element, albeit on a treaty basis.  3, record 8, English, - association%20of%20states

The sources of international law. There is innate in man a consciousness of right and wrong, regulating his behaviour towards his fellows, the recognition of the requirement to "co-exist" with them on a reasonable footing. Human society, on the other hand, cannot function without a certain number of binding rules of conduct which must be such as to enable it to avoid bellum omnium contra omnes. These factors are the underlying causes of the birth of law in any human community. The accent may be laid on one or other of these fundamental elements, but the two are always present. These are the "sources" of the law in their philosophical, psychological, sociological connotation, the "material" sources.... The concrete ways and means, the "formal" sources of the law, differ from community to community : they are not the same in secular as in ecclesiastical communities, nor in national as in international society. These "formal" sources,... necessarily reflect the nature and structure of the community concerned : they appear as custom, legislation, bye-laws, national case law, papal bulls, treaties, resolutions of international bodies, etc., as the case may be. There is still a third sense in which the expression "sources" is used in respect of law; in this sense the metaphor does not refer to the basic or to the "formal" origins of legal rules, but to the documents and writings in which they can be found, just as in another field historians work with their "sources". These are not, of course, genuine sources of the law.  2, record 12, English, - sources%20of%20international%20law
