On American Legal Education Reform In Japanese Legal Education, Carl E. Schneider Apr 2001

On American Legal Education Reform In Japanese Legal Education, Carl E. Schneider

Articles

The one hundredth anniversary of the Kyoto University Faculty of Law is the kind of splendid occasion when, as Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes remarked, a distinguished institution "becomes conscious of itself and its meaning." I can hardly express my pleasure at being invited to join in your celebration; but I must express my fear that I can add little to it. When Dean Tanaka kindly invited me, I should probably have declined, for I, a foreigner, can hardly know enough about an institution so central to the life of its country and its profession to speak of it and its …

Ccd Speckle Observations Of Binary Stars From The Southern Hemisphere. Iii. Differential Photometry, Elliott P. Horch, Zoran Ninkov, Otto Franz

Articles

Two hundred seventy-two magnitude difference measures of 135 double star systems are presented. The results are derived from speckle observations using the Bessel V and R passbands and a fast readout CCD camera. Observations were taken at two 60 cm telescopes, namely the Helen Sawyer Hogg Telescope, formerly at Las Campanas, Chile, and the Lowell-Tololo Telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter- American Observatory, Chile. The data analysis method is presented and, in comparing the results to those of Hipparcos as well as to recent results using adaptive optics, we find very good agreement. Overall, the measurement precision appears to be …

Universal Jurisdiction And U.S. Law, Curtis A. Bradley Jan 2001

Universal Jurisdiction And U.S. Law, Curtis A. Bradley

Articles

The conventional wisdom among international law scholars is that customary international law-that is, the law that results from the customary practices and beliefs of nations-places limitations on the authority of nations to apply their laws extraterritorially.1 Unless a nation's extraterritorial law falls within one of five categories 2 -territoriality, nationality, protective principle, passive personality, or universality-it is said, the nation violates international law rules governing "prescriptive jurisdiction."3 All but one of these categories require a nexus between the regulating nation and the conduct, offender, or victim. Under the territorial category, a nation may regulate conduct within its territory …

Rights Of Sexual Minorities In Ireland And Europe: Rhetoric Versus Reality, Bruce Carolan Jan 2001

Rights Of Sexual Minorities In Ireland And Europe: Rhetoric Versus Reality, Bruce Carolan

Articles

Superficially, Irish and European Community law proclaim the rights of sexual minorities - particularly in web sites and printed information designed for public consumption. The reality is different. This article identifies a gap between the public pronouncements on the rights of sexual minorities under Irish and EC law. It employs a hypothetical fact situation to suggest that existing legal protections are anemic, and argues that the potential failure of affected groups to identify these deficiencies (due to contradictory claims in public information campaigns) could endanger efforts to effect progressive change.

Cost-Benefit Analysis And Relative Position, Cass R. Sunstein, Robert H. Frank Jan 2001

Cost-Benefit Analysis And Relative Position, Cass R. Sunstein, Robert H. Frank

Articles

Current estimates of regulatory benefits are too low and possibly far too low. This is because the standard economic approach to measuring costs and benefits, which attempts to estimate people's willingness to pay for various regulatory benefits, ignores a central point about valuation, thus producing numbers that systematically understate those benefits. Conventional estimates tell us the amount of income an individual, acting in isolation, would be willing to sacrifice in return for, say, an increase in safety on the job. But while these estimates are based on the implicit assumption that economic well-being depends only on absolute income, considerable evidence …
