Coasting North: The Problem With The Jones Act For The Offshore Wind Industry And A Remedy From Canada, Sarah Macleod Nagle
William & Mary Environmental Law and Policy Review
This Note is organized into three parts to examine how the Jones Act hampers the U.S. wind energy industry’s construction of offshore wind farms by requiring that only U.S. vessels transport materials from U.S. ports to the wind farms. The Note proposes a license modeled on Canada’s Coasting Trade Act (“CTA”) to allow non-U.S.-flagged vessels to participate in wind turbine construction. Part I will address the development of cabotage law in the United States, the creation of the Jones Act, and its impact on offshore wind. Part II surveys Canada’s cabotage laws, which culminated in the passage of the CTA …

The Conflict Of Laws: A Comparative Study. Volume Two. Foreign Corporations: Torts: Contracts In General, Ernst Rabel
Michigan Legal Studies Series
Full application of comparative methods to the law of conflicts requires a working plan of some magnitude. We ought to take stock of the conflicts rules existing in the different countries of the world, state their similarities or dissimilarities, and investigate their purposes and effects. The solutions thus ascertained should moreover be subjected to an estimation of their usefulness, by the standards appropriate to their natural objective. Conflicts rules have to place private life and business relations upon the legal background suitable to satisfactory intercourse among states and nations. They are valuable to the extent that their practical functioning, rather …

Michigan Law Review
Jurisdiction over requisitioned and government-owned merchantmen and their liabilities under maritime laws are questions which present no real novelty. They were regarded by the ancient sea-law and were as familiar to it as they have recently become,-on account of the exigencies of the late war, to the admiralty systems of to-day. The maritime law of Rome supplies modem cases with the most cogent parallels and is reflected today in the jurisprudence of France and other continental and Latin countries. The jurisdictional question which figures most prominently in these cases relates to the authority to arrest or libel the property of …
