The Disintegration Of Labor Law: Some Notes For A Comparative Study Of Legal Transformation, Thomas Kohler Apr 1998

The Disintegration Of Labor Law: Some Notes For A Comparative Study Of Legal Transformation, Thomas Kohler

Thomas C. Kohler

While acknowledging the difficulties inherent in a comparative approach to labor and employment ordering issues, the author argues that our times and circumstances force us to consider such a perspective. This essay looks at the some of the background and characteristics of the labor law regimes of the United States and Germany to reflect on where we have been and where we might be going, and concludes that we stand at the edge of a new world, one that may well entail a new culture of work and new ways of being for all its inhabitants.

The Common Core Approach To The European Private Law, Mauro Bussani, Ugo Mattei Jan 1998

The Common Core Approach To The European Private Law, Mauro Bussani, Ugo Mattei

Mauro Bussani

This paper discusses the aim, method, and organization of ‘The Common Core of European Private Law’ project, a scholarly initiative launched by the authors in 1994, and that at the moment this paper was written involved one hundred (and now more than two hundred) scholars, mostly from Europe and the United States. Part I describes both the immediate and the long-term goals of the Project. Part II discusses the methodological evolution that has taken place from Schlesinger's Cornell Project to the Common Core work, and tackles the main differences between the Common Core approach and other "integrative" projects taking place …


Current Trends In European Comparative Law: The Common Core Approach, Mauro Bussani Jan 1998

Current Trends In European Comparative Law: The Common Core Approach, Mauro Bussani

Mauro Bussani

In the last decades, many research groups have been established to support—although through different means—the Europanization of private law. Some of these initiatives are, to use Schlesinger’s terminology, ‘integrative’, that is, they are engaged in ascertaining which solutions may best regulate legal problems in a common way. Other enterprises aim to deepen the knowledge and dialogue between European legal cultures. This is particularly the case with ‘The Common Core of European Private Law’ project, which was launched in 1994 by Ugo Mattei and the author of this article to develop a better knowledge of private law rules within the European …


Choix Et Défis De L’Herméneutique Juridique. Notes Minimes, Mauro Bussani Jan 1998

Choix Et Défis De L’Herméneutique Juridique. Notes Minimes, Mauro Bussani

Mauro Bussani

The paper focuses on the widespread hetero-referentiality one can witness, especially in certain circuits, between jurists and philosophers: the former trying to base technical arguments on one or the other (most of the times: fashionable) philosophical trends; the latter theorizing about this or that use of a given legal notion – often referring to orientations by now obsolete, or which only partly, or vaguely grasp the law as it is. After examining the modes through which the legal debate selects the philosophical authorities able to serve as auxiliary sources of the jurist’s cultural legitimization, the essay analyzes the most remarkable …


Abortion And Women's Legal Personhood In Germany: A Contribution To The Feminist Theory Of The State, D. A. Jeremy Telman Jan 1998

Abortion And Women's Legal Personhood In Germany: A Contribution To The Feminist Theory Of The State, D. A. Jeremy Telman

D. A. Jeremy Telman

This article looks at abortion regulation in Germany in the context of the full range of laws through which the state specifies the status of women as legal persons. Reviewing Germany's most important abortion law decisions in 1975 and 1993, the article contends that while the Constitutional Court struck a balance between the East German legacy of reproductive freedom and West Germany's robust protections of the right to life, it did so by undermining the legal structures that had facilitated full civil, economic and political equality for women in East Germany through legal regimes geared towards protecting women's reproductive autonomy.

The Foreign Notarial Legal Services Monopoly: Why Should We Care?, Pedro A. Malavet Dec 1997

The Foreign Notarial Legal Services Monopoly: Why Should We Care?, Pedro A. Malavet

Pedro A. Malavet

This piece serves three purposes: (1) briefly to take issue with the current treatment of comparative scholarship, especially how it is ignored by main law reviews; (2) to be a succinct introduction to the Latin Notary; and (3) to point out that the adversarial ethic and notarial impartiality can co-exist and even complement one another. It presents the notary as an example of a non-adversarial ethic, in a system that has other professionals who are ruled by the adversarial ethic. It does not advocate the abandonment of the adversarial ethic, but, rather, argues that in certain legal situations a non-adversarial …

Dalla Simbologia Giuridica A Una Filosofia Giuridica E Politica Simbolica ? Ovvero Il Diritto E I Sensi, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha Dec 1997

Dalla Simbologia Giuridica A Una Filosofia Giuridica E Politica Simbolica ? Ovvero Il Diritto E I Sensi, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha

Paulo Ferreira da Cunha

La prima conseguenza della nostra cultura giuridica dell'audizione che è anche cultura dell'oralità, del discorso e della scrittura (di tutto ciò che serve per parlare e fissare quello che può essere detto) è la volontaria atrofia degli altri sensi: il tatto, il gusto, l'olfatto e la vista. Il Diritto quasi non tocca le cose. Le concepisce mentalmente, le dice, però, anche se con i guanti deve toccare il corpo del delitto.


Inexistencia Y Nulidad Desde El Punto De Vista De Los Derechos Italiano, Español Y Peruano, Rómulo Morales Dec 1997

Inexistencia Y Nulidad Desde El Punto De Vista De Los Derechos Italiano, Español Y Peruano, Rómulo Morales

Rómulo Martín Morales Hervias

El tema de análisis comparativo es la inexistencia y la nulidad del negocio jurídico. En Italia se propuso tal distinción para solucionar problemas en el tráfico jurídico. En España, la discusión tiene trascendencia restringida. Y en el Perú, la discusión quedó aparentemente terminada con la idea de la admisión legislativa de la nulidad virtual.


À Propos D’Instruments Protecteurs De La Liberté De Contracter Valablement Dans La Jurisprudence Italienne, Mauro Bussani Dec 1997

À Propos D’Instruments Protecteurs De La Liberté De Contracter Valablement Dans La Jurisprudence Italienne, Mauro Bussani

Mauro Bussani

The paper analyzes Italian contract law with regard to the remedies available to the party who enters into an invalid agreement. The article focuses on how Italian courts have so far interpreted the rules laid down in the civil code, the doctrines developed by scholars alongside these rules, and the actual meaning of the notion of fault when applied to these cases.


Constitutional Structure As A Limitation On The Scope Of The "Law Of Nations" In The Alien Tort Claims Act, Donald J. Kochan Dec 1997

Constitutional Structure As A Limitation On The Scope Of The "Law Of Nations" In The Alien Tort Claims Act, Donald J. Kochan

Donald J. Kochan

Jurisdiction matters. Outside of the set of jurisdictional constraints, the judiciary is at sea; it poses a threat to the separation of powers and risks becoming a dangerous and domineering branch. Jurisdictional limitations serve a particularly important function when the judiciary is dealing with issues of international law. Since much of international law concerns foreign relations, the province of the executive and, in part, the legislature, the danger that the judiciary will act in a policy-making role or will frustrate the functions of the political branches is especially great. The Framers of the Constitution were particularly concerned with constructing a …
