Privacy And Personal Data Protection In The Information Age: A Comparative Evaluation, Emeka B. Obasi
Privacy And Personal Data Protection In The Information Age: A Comparative Evaluation, Emeka B. Obasi
LLM Theses and Essays
The United States and European economies are both information economies, however, they have different approaches in protecting personal information. This study examines in as much detail as possible, the relevant privacy laws in the two economic regions. The Europeans have a comprehensive legislation regulating personal information that vests considerable control on the data subject. Europeans characterize personal data as a fundamental human right. Americans, on the other hand, protect personal information by legislating for specific industries as the need arises and do not recognize privacy of personal information as a fundamental right. This study concludes the European approach is preferable, …

Intervention In Roman Law: A Case Study In The Hazards Of Legal Scholarship, Peter A. Appel
Intervention In Roman Law: A Case Study In The Hazards Of Legal Scholarship, Peter A. Appel
Scholarly Works
In this Article, I offer a case study of one of the hazards presented by legal scholarship in law reviews as it has evolved over the last century. The standard law review article typically begins with an overview of the author's subject, frequently involving a historical perspective or a chronology of the development of a doctrine. This background section stems from a number of causes, but many attribute it to the fact that most law reviews are student-edited. In order to evaluate an author's argument, students need a brief course in, say, the basics of trade law and pollution control …
Dissenting Opinions: In The Georgia Supreme Court, R. Perry Sentell Jr.
Dissenting Opinions: In The Georgia Supreme Court, R. Perry Sentell Jr.
Scholarly Works
Under our system of justice, each jurisdiction necessarily evolves its own distinct tradition of judicial dissent. That evolution's impetus, history, pattern, and results all converge in an informative profile--affording yet another means of studying a state's highest appellate court. A dissent profile of the Georgia Supreme Court thus offers an additional evaluative view of the state's most important judicial cathedral.
The Writ Of Habeas Corpus, Donald E. Wilkes Jr.
The Writ Of Habeas Corpus, Donald E. Wilkes Jr.
Scholarly Works
A fundamental legal safeguard of freedom and the most important English common law writ, the writ of habeas corpus is a court order commanding that an imprisoned person be personally produced in court and that an explanation be provided as to why that person is detained. The writ of habeas corpus provides a judicial remedy for enforcing a fundamental individual right, the right to personal liberty, which may be defined as the right to be free of physical restraint that is not justified by law. Whenever imprisonment violates a constitutional or fundamental right, there is an infringement of the right …
Hemispheric Integration And The Politics Of Regionalism: The Free Trade Area Of The Americas (Ftaa), Christopher M. Bruner
Hemispheric Integration And The Politics Of Regionalism: The Free Trade Area Of The Americas (Ftaa), Christopher M. Bruner
Scholarly Works
This article examines negotiations toward a Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA). It seeks to discern what key negotiating parties want out of such an agreement, and the means through which they have sought to achieve their disparate goals.
The United States and Brazil, in particular, have employed complex negotiating strategies in order to gain theupper hand - strategies prompted by a variety of economic and political dynamics at domestic andsubregional levels. These dynamics include the significant pressure exerted on U.S. policy-makers by constituent groups sensitive to globalization's impact on labor and the environment, as well as the challenge …
Lawyers And Decisions: A Model Of Practical Judgment, Alexander W. Scherr
Lawyers And Decisions: A Model Of Practical Judgment, Alexander W. Scherr
Scholarly Works
What do lawyers do, and how do they think in practice? Certainly, lawyers analyze law, and apply it to facts: the law school answer. This article proposes a more fluid notion: that lawyering prompts a mindfulness associated with decision-making, a mindfulness that engages and integrates a number of different capacities. Lawyers engage in a complex and unique thought process that relies only partially on rigorous analysis of legal principle. Lawyers must also integrate non-legal and even non-conceptual realities in considering client decisions. This integration emerges from the lawyer-client relationship and flexes to the demands characteristic of lawyering tasks. Lawyering is …
Article Ii And The Florida Election Case: A Public Choice Perspective, Michael L. Wells, Jeffry M. Netter
Article Ii And The Florida Election Case: A Public Choice Perspective, Michael L. Wells, Jeffry M. Netter
Scholarly Works
This Article puts aside the equal protection rationale on which the majority relied in Bush v. Gore. We share Richard Epstein's view that "[a]ny equal protection challenge to the Florida recount procedure quickly runs into insurmountable difficulties." In our view there is a more compelling argument to support the ruling. It begins with Chief Justice Rehnquist's concurring opinion, which focused on Article II, Section 1, Clause 2, of the United States Constitution. Clause 2 provides that "[e]ach State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct" electors for President and Vice President. The critical issue in Bush …
A Correct Analysis Of The Tax Treatment Of Contingent Attorney's Fee Arrangements: Enough With The Fruits And The Trees, Gregg D. Polsky
A Correct Analysis Of The Tax Treatment Of Contingent Attorney's Fee Arrangements: Enough With The Fruits And The Trees, Gregg D. Polsky
Scholarly Works
The tax treatment of contingent attorney's fee arrangements has been the subject of much recent debate and litigation. Some courts and commentators conclude that a plaintiff must include the entire settlement amount, including attorney's fees, in her gross income, while other courts and commentators conclude that a plaintiff must include only her recovery net of attorney's fees. Because of the alternative minimum tax, the resolution of this issue may have a significant effect on the plaintiff's tax liability. In analyzing the issue, courts and commentators have focused on the assignment of income doctrine by inquiring whether, upon execution of a …
The New Jurisprudence Of The Necessary And Proper Clause, J. Randy Beck
The New Jurisprudence Of The Necessary And Proper Clause, J. Randy Beck
Scholarly Works
Several recent Supreme Court decisions evidence reinvigorated principles of federalism and an increased willingness to strike down legislation as beyond the power of Congress. In this article, Professor Beck considers this trend in light of the persistent debate surrounding the implied powers of Congress under the Necessary and Proper Clause. Because the Necessary and Proper Clause represents the outer boundary of congressional authority, consideration of this provision necessarily illuminates discussions of state sovereignty and reserved powers.
The article begins with an historical overview of the Framers' understanding of the Necessary and Proper Clause, leading up to the Supreme Court's decision …
Charities And The Constitution: Evaluating The Role Of Constitutional Principles In Determining The Scope Of Tax Law's Public Policy Limitation For Charities, David A. Brennen
Charities And The Constitution: Evaluating The Role Of Constitutional Principles In Determining The Scope Of Tax Law's Public Policy Limitation For Charities, David A. Brennen
Scholarly Works
This Article expands the discussion of whether tax-exempt charities, for constitutional law purposes, should be treated as government actors, as private actors or as something in between. While government actors are subject to constitutional law restrictions concerning discrimination and free speech, private non-government actors are not generally subject to these same restrictions. Although tax-exempt charities are often thought of as sovereigns and, thus, government-like, the fact remains that charities are private entities created to serve public purposes. As private entities, charities - like all other private entities - are not necessarily bound by constitutional law principles. Still, the many “public” …
A Common Private Law For Europe, Alan Watson
A Common Private Law For Europe, Alan Watson
Scholarly Works
A satisfactory private law for Europe is not primarily to be sought for in the most common solutions, themselves the result of borrowing. Nor in established rules, themselves the result of longevity, and lack of governmental incentive in innovating. Nor should it be sought in intermediate positions of various mixed systems, themselves the results of the features just above described. Rather it is to be found in the need for authority. This means that a common law for Europe requires the acceptance of a uniform system of adjudicating differences within a standard framework of the necessary sources of law. Authority …
Federalism In Environmental Protection, Peter A. Appel
Federalism In Environmental Protection, Peter A. Appel
Scholarly Works
In the last seven years, the Supreme Court has decided several cases that potentially alter the balance between the states and the federal government. Although these decisions have generated much controversy, in some ways they only address some important federalism questions at the periphery. Professor Appel examines four areas of environmental law that the recent decisions either only inform or do not address at all: cleanup of hazardous waste sites; the effect of state enforcement actions on citizen enforcement brought under federal environmental laws; the effect of state enforcement actions on federal enforcement actions; and the management of federal lands …
The United States Of America And The International Criminal Court, Diane Marie Amann, M.N.S. Sellers
The United States Of America And The International Criminal Court, Diane Marie Amann, M.N.S. Sellers
Scholarly Works
The United States of America has not ratified the treaty establishing a permanent international criminal court, and it is highly un-likely to do so. This is not simply a question of delay caused by cumbersome ratification procedures; rather, it reflects deep-seated opposition by the U.S. executive branch and by many members of Congress. The United States voted against the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court when it was adopted on July 17, 1998, at the U.N. Diplomatic Conference of Plenipotentiaries. President William J. Clinton approved signature of the statute on the last day that a state, by signing, could …
