British Anti-Discrimination Law: An Introduction, Christopher Mccrudden
British Anti-Discrimination Law: An Introduction, Christopher Mccrudden
Penn State International Law Review
The United Kingdom is a signatory of a number of international treaties protecting various aspects of human rights, including freedom from discrimination. Yet, there is no legislation in this country protecting a comprehensive list of human rights in the manner of the United States Bill of Rights, although there have been a number of unsuccessful atempts to enact such legislation since 1969. Moreover, prior to race relations legislation, there was no general rule, policy or principle in common law directly relevant to combating racial discrimination or incitement to racial hatred.
The inadequacies of the common law and statutes stimulated several …
Empirical Research About Law: The German Picture With Comparisons And Observations, Robert A. Riegert
Empirical Research About Law: The German Picture With Comparisons And Observations, Robert A. Riegert
Penn State International Law Review
While studying current legal developments in West Germany during the summer of 1979, the author became convinced that the most important development in German law in the past two decades was the movement toward empirical research about law. This research is often referred to by German jurists as fact research in law. During the intervening years, the author has been able to trace dome major developments of this movement.
The principal aim of this article is to furnish information to the American legal community about social-fact research in law resulting from the German experience. Discussion of Germany's experience is appropriate …
Investment And The Andean Pact: From Political Response To Legal Structures To Safe Harbors, Robert Carcano
Investment And The Andean Pact: From Political Response To Legal Structures To Safe Harbors, Robert Carcano
Penn State International Law Review
The Latin American experience clearly establishes that economic development involves profound social and political change. Despite modernization efforts, economuc benefits eluded Latin American leaders. This fact led to the widespread perception that a new international legal strucure had to be forged if the region's myriad social concerns were to be addressed. Regional economic integration was a necessary first step.
Integration enabled Latin American statesmen to address insurmountable national problems on a regional level. In the Latin American context, however, economic integration efforts became intertwined with the new nationalism. Despite this beginning, the structures that eventually arose formed a relationship which …

People's Republic Of China's Foreign Enterprises Income Tax Law And Regulations, Anna M. Han
UC Law SF International Law Review
As part of the People's Republic of China's continued effort to strengthen and define its legal system, the Fifth National People's Congress promulgated the Income Tax Law Concerning Foreign Enterprises. This enactment reflected the Chinese Government's recognition that clear tax rules were needed which would assist tax planning by foreign investors. The Law and its accompanying Regulations were designed to fill major gaps in China's taxation system by reaching previously ignored major sources of income. This Article provides a general introduction to the various provisions of the Foreign Enterprise Tax Law and Regulations which remain unclear due to the newness …

The Japanese Law In English: Some Thoughts On Scope And Method, Dan F. Henderson
The Japanese Law In English: Some Thoughts On Scope And Method, Dan F. Henderson
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Japanese law is a fledgling topic of comparative law in this country. The rapid growth of bilateral business and the integration of the United States and Japanese economies in recent years suggest the need for increased attention to this area. This Article first examines the prewar antecedents and the postwar developments of Japanese law in English in this country. It then reviews the present law school environment for the study of Japanese law as a comparative law subject. Finally, it briefly addresses three key issues basic to the development of this subject.
A New Classification Of Law For A Foreign, Comparative, And International Research Law Library, Jan Stepan
A New Classification Of Law For A Foreign, Comparative, And International Research Law Library, Jan Stepan
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The Swiss Institute of Comparative Law seated at Lausanne was established by the federal statute of October 6, 1978. The Institute is envisioned as a center for the "documentation of and research into comparative, foreign, and international law." According to the statute and the implementing decree of December 19, 1979, the Institute serves the following purposes:
(1) to supply federal agencies and the federal administration with material and studies that may be needed for decisions concerning legislation and international treaties; (2) to contribute towards international efforts at the harmonization and unification of law; (3) to provide information and expert opinions …
Recent Developments In West German Civil Procedure, William B. Fisch
Recent Developments In West German Civil Procedure, William B. Fisch
UC Law SF International Law Review
For the past twenty years, the West German system of civil procedure has undergone extensive re-examination and reform. These developments have centered on concerns regarding accessibility, technicality, cost, and delay. Nearly every phase of civil litigation was subjected to critical review and amendment. These changes have not, however, been as extensive as the most ambitious reformers would have liked, and will probably be weakened by practice and interpretation. Because much of the impetus for these changes was based on a common problem, ever-increasing litigation, it is useful for United States observers to review the West German approach and success in …
Perspectives On The Law Of Contorts: A Discussion Of The Dominant Trends In West German Tort Law, Gert Bruggemeier
Perspectives On The Law Of Contorts: A Discussion Of The Dominant Trends In West German Tort Law, Gert Bruggemeier
UC Law SF International Law Review
Contract and tort law have usually been doctrinally separated. The dominant phenomenon of social regulation, however, today overshadows the autonomous assumption of obligations through contract and the imposition of obligations through general tort rules. The author examines the development of West German tort law and shows that tort law has increasingly become a means of social regulation through judge-made rules of conduct. Special judge-made tort law regulates the social behavior of previously autonomous market citizens. The author argues that this trend toward social regulation through special tort law has rendered nineteenth century legal ideas about the relationship between contract and …
Protection Of Constitutional Rights And Reform Of Nuclear Power Plant Licensing Procedures In West Germany: An Interim Assessment, Klaus Bosselmann
Protection Of Constitutional Rights And Reform Of Nuclear Power Plant Licensing Procedures In West Germany: An Interim Assessment, Klaus Bosselmann
UC Law SF International Law Review
This commentary by Dr. Bosselmarn originally appeared in Kritische Jirstiz in 1980. It is reproduced here with the author's permission in order to provide insight into this area of legal concern with respect to current debates in West Germany. This piece is especially timely in view of the Notes on licensing and decommissioning of nuclear power plants also published in this issue. Dr. Bosselmann's belief is that the nuclear licensing process in West Germany has not been concerned with the fundamental constitutional rights of the individual. Instead, nuclear licensing has evolved in the direction of procedural acceleration and simplification, and …

Tax Evasion Through International Manipulation Of Foreign Exhange Profits, Carol A. Brittain
Tax Evasion Through International Manipulation Of Foreign Exhange Profits, Carol A. Brittain
UC Law SF International Law Review
By constructing a hypothetical situation in which a non- United States bank with branches in New York and the Bahamas might illegally shift foreign exchange profits from New York to the tax-haven Bahamas, this Note explores what action the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) could take in pursuing and recapturing lost tax revenue. It is proposed that the application of section 482 be used to reallocate from abroad United States source income of banks. Recent developments in this area should give the IRS reason to consider enlarging the uses of section 482.
Western Scholarship On Chinese Law: Past Accomplishments And Present Challenges, Stanley B. Lubman
Western Scholarship On Chinese Law: Past Accomplishments And Present Challenges, Stanley B. Lubman
Hong Yen Chang Center for Chinese Legal Studies
Chinese law-making in recent years has been nothing less than remarkable and presents a new challenge for research today. The recent adoption of new codes, the revival of formal legal institutions, including courts and the bar, and the reinvigoration of legal education and research all signal the reappearance of an entire field of study.
Although a foundation for study was laid by some scholars in the 1960's, the field later declined, reflecting the low condition to which the Chinese legal system fell, both before and during the disastrous Cultural Revolution. Once again, however, study of the operation of the Chinese …
A Comparative Study Of British Barristers And American Legal Practice And Education, Marilyn Berger
A Comparative Study Of British Barristers And American Legal Practice And Education, Marilyn Berger
Faculty Articles
The conduct of a trial in England is undeniably an impressive undertaking. Costume alone transports the viewer to Elizabethan times. Counsel and judges, bewigged and gowned, appear in a cloistered, regal setting, strewn with leather-bound books. Brightly colored ribbons of red, green, yellow and white, rather than metal clips and staples fasten the legal papers. After comparison with the volatile atmosphere and often unruly conduct of a trial in a United States courtroom it is natural to assume that the British model of courtroom advocacy provides an instructive model for its American counterpart.
A Right Of Fair Dismissal: Enforcing A Statutory Guarantee, Janice R. Bellace
A Right Of Fair Dismissal: Enforcing A Statutory Guarantee, Janice R. Bellace
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Support for the concept that employees should be protected against wrongful dismissal continues to grow in this country. Yet, many advocates of protection have thus far refrained from venturing into the legislative arena. Even though the movement to achieve this protection is still at an early stage, it is not too soon to focus on specific proposals designed to translate ideals into protections. By failing to coalesce behind a single proposal, supporters have retarded the progress of the movement. Without a proposal for specific legislation, supporters lack a rallying point and legislators have nothing concrete to debate. This Article attempts …

The Political Offense Exception As Applied In French Cases Dealing With The Extradition Of Terrorists, Thomas E. Carbonneau
The Political Offense Exception As Applied In French Cases Dealing With The Extradition Of Terrorists, Thomas E. Carbonneau
Journal Articles
There is no doubt that terrorism is a dangerous, costly and complex problem. Commentators have speculated extensively about its ideological character and other analysts have studied its sociological roots and psychological origins. Despite all this attention, there is a lack of consensus in the international community about whether terrorism is no more than a sensational form of criminality or a legitimate mode of political expression.
This article does not attempt to deal with all of the multifarious aspects of contemporary terrorism; its ambition is much more modest in scope, centering upon traditional legal mechanisms and doctrines that can be adapted …

The Exclusionary Rule In Germany, Craig M. Bradley
The Exclusionary Rule In Germany, Craig M. Bradley
Articles by Maurer Faculty
The exclusionary rule that the Supreme Court has fashioned to suppress evidence obtained unconstitutionally is directed at least in part toward deterring police conduct that violates constitutional norms. Since the inception of the rule, the value and efficacy of a prescript that excludes otherwise relevant and probative evidence in a factfinding proceeding has been a subject of heated debate. In this Article, Professor Bradley examines the rather different exclusionary rules used in Germany. He argues that a comparison of exclusionary rules in Germany and the United States suggests that a number of different policies of a criminal justice system could …
Litigation Abuse And The Law Schools, John W. Reed
Litigation Abuse And The Law Schools, John W. Reed
Articles
At the Ninth Circuit Judicial Conference in July, 1983, one session was devoted to a discussion of "Excessive Discovery: A Symptom of Litigation Abuse." (Without knowing, I would guess that a similar title appeared on just about every judicial conference program this year-and last year, and the one before that.) Frank Rothman, President of MGM/United Artists, addressed the subject from the point of view of a corporate client, and his remarks are printed in this issue, beginning at page 342. Judges and trial lawyers expressed their views. And I was asked to comment on the extent to which the law …
Extradition From Israel, M. Dennis Gouldman
Extradition From Israel, M. Dennis Gouldman
Michigan Journal of International Law
Following an introduction, the main part of the article will review the law of extradition from Israel-a subject about which little is known outside this country. The discussion will focus on the decisions and practices of both the judiciary and the executive. The remainder of the article will consider special problems that have arisen in Israel as a country with an "open gate" immigration policy for the Jews of the world and a new unwillingness to hand over its own nationals for trial and sentence abroad.

I. Review Of Foreign Laws, Michigan Journal Of International Law
Michigan Journal of International Law
The selection of national law summaries which follows is designed to enable the reader to survey the spectrum of domestic laws governing jurisdiction and judicial assistance. The reader may also find the summaries to be a useful starting point for further research. While the summaries vary somewhat in scope and degree of specificity, the differences are attributable to a desire to provide reasonably authoritative-rather than speculative- synopses of the law.

Iii. Recent French Extradition Cases, Michigan Journal Of International Law
Michigan Journal of International Law
This section of the appendix contains the first published collection of recent French extradition cases dealing with the application of the political offense exception to terrorists. Because of the selective fashion in which French decisional law is reported, many French extradition cases are never reproduced in any French case reporter. The purpose of this appendix is to provide an English speaking audience with the substance of opinions which are otherwise nearly impossible to obtain. The editors hope that this collection will aid comparative research and contribute to an informed debate on the political offense exception.
Foreign Investment In Cable Television: The United States And Canada, Colin J. Coffey
Foreign Investment In Cable Television: The United States And Canada, Colin J. Coffey
UC Law SF International Law Review
Canadian ownership and control of United States cablevision systems has steadily increased over the past seven years. This has given rise to heated debate concerning the issue of such alien control. The argument to impose citizenship requirements upon cable ownership centers on present citizenship requirements on common carriers and broadcast licensees, and on the issue of trade reciprocity. Rejecting the reciprocity argument as artificial, the author believes that Congress should impose citizenship requirements on cable television ownership, and that these requirements should be based on the policies and rationale of the Communications Act of 1934, which details the true reasons …
Licensing The Exportation Of Nuclear Materials: Responsibility To The Global Environment, Elizabeth Ann Lawrence
Licensing The Exportation Of Nuclear Materials: Responsibility To The Global Environment, Elizabeth Ann Lawrence
UC Law SF International Law Review
The policy of the United States to supply nuclear power plants and materials to selected foreign nations raises questions concerning environmental concerns, nuclear weaponry problems, and foreign relations considerations. This Note examines the statutory scheme by which Congress has sought to balance these factors and the role of the judiciary in implementing this plan. Specifically, a recent case involving the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's grant of a license for exporting nuclear plant materials to the Philippines is reviewed. The author concludes that this litigation failed to provide adequate guidance for the Commission and for courts in future cases. The author offers …

Artistic Freedom And Government Subsidy: Performing Arts Institutions In The United States And West Germany, Erik Stenberg
UC Law SF International Law Review
This Note examines the role of the government in securing and maintaining artistic freedom in the performing arts institutions of West Germany and of the United States. The primary basis for comparison is the ability of the artistic directors of performing arts institutions to program the works they desire. The author focuses on the various advantages and disadvantages of the direct subsidy approach implemented in West Germany as opposed to the emphasis on indirect government support found in the United States. Finally, the author concludes that direct and open government support of the performing arts, such as in West Germany, …
Dispute Resolution In Space, Scott F. March
Dispute Resolution In Space, Scott F. March
UC Law SF International Law Review
As the United States makes strides toward maintaining a permanent presence in space, there is a need for a legal framework to adjudicate disputes arising among men and women working there. Present law does not adequately take into account the unique conditions encountered in space such as isolation, confinement and dangerous environments. This Note proposes that the United States codify substantive and procedural law to facilitate resolution of disputes in space. The code must allow for timely dispute resolution and avoid serious disruption of the mission. The proposal suggests that national, not international, law should form the basis for the …
Power To Enforce Treaties In Australia -- The High Court Goes Centralist?, John M. Finnis
Power To Enforce Treaties In Australia -- The High Court Goes Centralist?, John M. Finnis
Journal Articles
At first glance, the decision of the High Court of Australia in Koowarta v Bjelke-Petersen profoundly affects the distribution of legislative power between the States and the Commonwealth of Australia. Perhaps that first impression should be somewhat qualified. But there seems no good reason to doubt what Wilson J (dissenting) said about its possible implications for the exercise of State legislative power.
