The Teaching Of The Law Of Thailand, Ted L. Mcdorman
The Teaching Of The Law Of Thailand, Ted L. Mcdorman
Dalhousie Law Journal
Within the last few years Canada has begun to realize that it is a Pacific Rim country with substantial connections and interests in Asia. As part of this awakening Canadian interest in Asian affairs the Faculty of Law at the University of Victoria decided to develop and offer a course entitled "Legal Issues in Southeast Asia", with the hope that such a course would provide a forum for a systematic, informed comparison of the legal systems of Asia.

An America's Cup For Tort Reform? Australia And America Compared, Jeffrey O'Connell, David Partlett
An America's Cup For Tort Reform? Australia And America Compared, Jeffrey O'Connell, David Partlett
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
The issue of tort reform has descended from Ivory Towers to populist politics. A few years ago no one could have predicted that "tort reform" would become political argot and a stirring election slogan. Some in the United States see the tort crisis and the stimulus for reform as somehow uniquely American. This Article shows instead that many advanced, industrialized societies are discussing tort reform initiatives actively. The precise nature of the problems, the reasons for reform, and the shape of solutions will be fashioned by indigenous culture, tradition, and the uncertainties of politics. In the common-law world, however, a …
Philippine Land Reform: The Just Compensation Issue, Timothy Milton Hanstad
Philippine Land Reform: The Just Compensation Issue, Timothy Milton Hanstad
Washington Law Review
This Comment analyzes current Philippine land reform efforts, focusing on the constitutional definition of just compensation. First, the Comment discusses past Philippine land reform efforts. Second, the Comment analyzes legal arguments relating to a fair market value interpretation of just compensation. The Comment concludes that just compensation does not need to be interpreted as fair market value. In fact, such an interpretation may effectively abort any land reform effort in the Philippines, and perpetuate the structure of land ownership which the constitution seeks to remedy. Finally, this Comment proposes an alternative interpretation for land reform valuation that meets the just …

Comparative Analysis Of English And American Campaign Finance Laws, Rod Stanton Fiori
Comparative Analysis Of English And American Campaign Finance Laws, Rod Stanton Fiori
UC Law SF International Law Review
Campaign finance laws have been adopted in many countries to combat corruption, to moderate campaign costs, to equalize the financial ability of candidates to win elections, and to reduce disparities in the influence of contributors. This Note compares the American and British efforts to control campaign financing. The author finds that many of the goals of campaign laws have not been met in the United States, because the laws have had to remain within first amendment limits and because the laws have not been enforced on a regular basis. More effective campaign finance laws have been adopted in England, but …
Treaties And Nationalization: The People's Republic Of China Experience, Jay S. Laifman
Treaties And Nationalization: The People's Republic Of China Experience, Jay S. Laifman
UC Law SF International Law Review
American investors have invested over ten billion dollars in the People's Republic of China. Further investment, however, has been slowed by fears that the Chinese Government could nationalize American assets in China. These fears are based on past occurrences when political instability or international disagreements have led to nationalization of foreign assets by the Chinese. This Note examines the likelihood that the People's Republic of China would nationalize foreign assets in the future and proposes treaty terms that would protect American investors without offending Chinese sensibilities. The author suggests that future United States-China trade treaties should contain more explicit language …
Law And Genocide: A Critical Annotated Bibliography, David Kader
Law And Genocide: A Critical Annotated Bibliography, David Kader
UC Law SF International Law Review
Since the end of World War II, many scholars have devoted their efforts to the prevention of genocide and the punishment of its perpetrators. This Bibliography lists and describes the major writings pertaining to law and genocide and reviews how these works have been reflected in the enforcement of human rights. The author notes that, just as writings on genocide have moved from broad statements of human rights to discussions of how these rights should be enforced, international law should no longer focus on creating rights, but should focus on enforcing them. The author also proposes that more study be …
Changes In The Laws Governing The Parent-Child Relationship In Post-Revolutionary Nicaragua, Beth Stephens
Changes In The Laws Governing The Parent-Child Relationship In Post-Revolutionary Nicaragua, Beth Stephens
UC Law SF International Law Review
Nicaragua provides a useful case analysis for the response of family law to change. This Article reviews family law in effect in Nicaragua prior to the 1979 revolution. The Article then describes how the overthrow of the Somoza regime affected law and legislation in general. The most important new legislation affecting the parent-child relationship is discussed with emphasis on the 1982 law regulating family relationships and the family law provisions of the 1987 Nicaraguan Constitution. The Article analyzes the recent reforms with regards to the relevant international standards.
Homosexuality And The European Convention On Human Rights: What Rights, Daniel J. Kane
Homosexuality And The European Convention On Human Rights: What Rights, Daniel J. Kane
UC Law SF International Law Review
This Note discusses the status of homosexual persons under the European Convention on Human Rights by tracing cases under the Convention that have challenged member states' criminalization of homosexual relations. These cases rest largely on the Convention's right of privacy, which has recently been held to embody the right of homosexual adults to engage in consensual sexual relations free from state criminalization. In other aspects, however, the Convention has denied antidiscrimination protection to homosexual persons, despite the existence of guarantees in the Convention that prohibit such discrimination. This Note draws upon these provisions to outline the framework upon which such …
The Paradox Of A Revolutionary Constitution: A Reading Of The Nicaraguan Constitution, Christopher P. Barton
The Paradox Of A Revolutionary Constitution: A Reading Of The Nicaraguan Constitution, Christopher P. Barton
UC Law SF International Law Review
Nicaragua has recently adopted its first constitution since the 1979 Sandinista Revolution. The Constitution tries to institutionalize and legitimate the power of the FSLN and the Revolution itself within the framework of a basically westernstyle constitution. This Article examines the text of the Nicaraguan Constitution to explore the political philosophy underlying constitutionalism in Nicaragua, with particular attention to the place of the Party and the Revolution in the Constitution. The Article considers tensions in the Constitutional text between legitimating the power of the FSLN and creating institutions that limit that same power. Finally, the Article considers the idea, stated in …
Chinese Wall Or Emperor's New Clothes? Regulating Conflicts Of Interest Of Securities Firms In The U.S. And The U.K., Norman S. Poser
Chinese Wall Or Emperor's New Clothes? Regulating Conflicts Of Interest Of Securities Firms In The U.S. And The U.K., Norman S. Poser
Michigan Journal of International Law
This article has two principal theses. The first is that, while Chinese Walls of securities firms are undoubtedly useful in some instances in preventing the flow of confidential information, the evidence that they actually do this is insufficient to justify basing a legal defense on the existence of a wall in a particular firm. In fact, it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that at some firms the Chinese Wall is nothing but a convenient fiction aimed at avoiding liability for market abuses. The article's second thesis is that the isolation of information within a department of a firm which …

Religious Law And Religious Freedom In Saudi Arabia And Israel: A Comparative Study, Richard N. Merenbach
Religious Law And Religious Freedom In Saudi Arabia And Israel: A Comparative Study, Richard N. Merenbach
UC Law SF International Law Review
Traditional religious law is enforced in both Saudi Arabia and Israel. In Saudi Arabia it is dominant and unchangeable, while in Israel the Knesset carefully selects when to use religious law. This Note examines the religious legal systems of Islam and Judaism as they are used in these countries. This Note particularly examines Islamic criminal law and Jewish family law. The Note also examines some of the problems that have been caused by the use of ancient legal systems.
