Liability Of Bias: A Comparative Study Of Gender-Related Interests In Negligence Law, Yifat Bitton
Liability Of Bias: A Comparative Study Of Gender-Related Interests In Negligence Law, Yifat Bitton
Annual Survey of International & Comparative Law
This article examines a feminist argument concerning the gendered structure of tort law in which interests that can be identified as gendered are subject to different levels of recognition resulting from gender bias. Using a comparative methodology, the article contends that negligence law regarding pure-economic loss and indirect-emotional harm is constructed along lines of gender bias. The argument is underlined by the notion of gender-related interests, establishing pure-economic loss as male-related and indirect-emotional harm as female-related. On its first comparative analysis, the similarities and differences between these two harms as perceived by tort conventions and principles should have yielded leverage …

The Modern Concept Of Secularism And Islamic Jurisprudence: A Comparative Analysis, Dr. Nehaluddin Ahmad
Annual Survey of International & Comparative Law
The essence of the word 'secularism' depends upon a variety of factors existing in a particular state, e.g. the society's composition, political history, and the potential of its minority groups, as well as the prevailing international circumstances. In the matter of secularism and Islam, the world is misinformed and misguided. Most people who engage in these discussions do not have a clear idea of the Islamic way of life.

Comparative Law, Edward J. Eberle
Comparative Law, Edward J. Eberle
Annual Survey of International & Comparative Law
It is the aim of comparative law to examine the legal rules and patterns of order that drive a given society. For subjects of a particular legal system, this is a question of acculturation. Being the product of a culture, we often intuitively sense the hidden forces that play out below the surface of the external manifestation of law. Therefore, this task becomes more difficult when we find ourselves dealing with a foreign legal system. We must then call upon the tools of the anthropologist or archeologist: studying the underlying substrata of data that lie within a culture.
Comparative Study Of Cruel & Unusual Punishment For Engaging In Consensual Homosexual Acts (In International Conventions, The United States And Iran), Sanaz Alasti
Annual Survey of International & Comparative Law
This article undertakes a comparative study of cruel and unusual punishment for consensual homosexual acts, in the United States and Iran, based on the prohibition of these punishments in international conventions.

Furthermore, criminalization contradicts the object and purpose of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and virtually every other law concerning sexual minorities. This article is further motivated by the novelty and necessity of the topic. Surprisingly little research has been done focusing on this …
