Cross Cultural Reflections: Teaching The Charter To Americans, Jamie Cameron

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

In this article, the author discusses a course in Comparative Constitutional Jurisprudence that she taught at Cornell Law School in the winter semester of 1989. She is particularly interested in the way this class of American students responded to the Supreme Court of Canada's interpretation of the Charter. She presents her reflections on differences between Canadian and American constitutional culture through a discussion of the decisions in The Motor Vehicle Reference, R. v. Morgentaler, and The French Language Case.

The Beginning Of The Constitutional Era: A Bicentennial Comparative Study Of The American And French Constitutions, Rett R. Ludwikowski Jan 1989

The Beginning Of The Constitutional Era: A Bicentennial Comparative Study Of The American And French Constitutions, Rett R. Ludwikowski

Michigan Journal of International Law

This article is intended only to be introductory. The author is quite aware that the period surrounding the creation of the American Constitution has been profoundly studied; thorough analysis has been provided concerning both the origin and historical development of the American Constitution, as well as the intellectual background of the "founding generation." Characteristically, these studies have focused on the "American constitutional tradition," which means that they have been limited to little more than two centuries of colonial experience. This essay follows a different vein of inquiry. The author's purpose is not to add another article to the numerous works …


Forcing Sovereign Conformity: The Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act Of 1986, Joseph L. Miljak Jan 1988

Forcing Sovereign Conformity: The Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act Of 1986, Joseph L. Miljak

Cleveland State Law Review

One focus of this Note is to analyze the international repercussions of the Anti-Apartheid Act within the context of United States foreign policy, the sovereignty rights of South Africa, the jurisdiction of United States courts to pass on violations of the Act, and United Nations provisions governing interference with the economy of a foreign government. However, before any discussion of the international legality of this Act can take place, its domestic legality must be determined. Therefore, before looking to international justifications for the Act, this Note will analyze it within the context of United States constitutional law. This analysis will …

In Celebration Of Constitutional Kindness: Soft Symbolism In A Hard Shell, James Audley Mclaughlin Sep 1987

In Celebration Of Constitutional Kindness: Soft Symbolism In A Hard Shell, James Audley Mclaughlin

West Virginia Law Review

The bicentennial of any constitution is surely an invitation to much sententious rhetoric. But the bicentennial of THE Constitution, The American Constitution of 1787, is an occasion for oratorical pyrotechnics of the first magnitude. So I shall make my brief tribute to note the importance of the Constitution as symbol - symbol of our national resolve to be a good society. Constitutions, in general, have two distinct functions: (1) As the outward sign and symbol of a society's fundamental commitment to social values and (2) perhaps more mundanely, as the framework for a political order. Our Constitution of 1787 (or …


Two Firsts: A Comparative Study Of The American And The Polish Constitutions, Rett R. Ludwikowski Jan 1987

Two Firsts: A Comparative Study Of The American And The Polish Constitutions, Rett R. Ludwikowski

Michigan Journal of International Law

This article is only an introductory study to further inquiry. It focuses on the first two constitutions in the world: the American Constitution of 1787 and the Polish Constitution of May 3, 1791. Furthermore, the emphasis of this essay will be disposed of in a different manner than in the above mentioned studies. The author's purpose is not to add another article to the numerous works already devoted to American Constitutional development; instead, the following remarks will emphasize Polish constitutional history, and treat the American constitutional experience as a background for comparison.

Treaties Governing The Succession To Real Property By Aliens, Willard L. Boyd, Jr. May 1953

Treaties Governing The Succession To Real Property By Aliens, Willard L. Boyd, Jr.

Michigan Law Review

Under customary international law no nation has the duty to grant to aliens the right to hold real property. Although international law accords to an alien the privilege of participating in the economic life of the state of his residence, this privilege does not encompass the right to hold real property. The right to succeed to and hold real property is a matter solely within the competence of a nation. It is for each nation exclusively to regulate the acquisition and tenure of real property. National authority in this regard can be traced to the concept that the sovereign may …


The Place Of Trial Of Criminal Cases: Constitutional Vicinage And Venue, William Wirt Blume Aug 1944

The Place Of Trial Of Criminal Cases: Constitutional Vicinage And Venue, William Wirt Blume

Michigan Law Review

In 1909 one Henry G. Connor, presumably Mr. Justice Connor of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, published in the Pennsylvania Law Review an article entitled "The Constitutional Right to a Trial by a Jury of the Vicinage." The question discussed was: May a state constitutionally provide by statute that a crime be tried in a county other than that in which it was committed? Or, putting the question in terms of vicinage as distinguished from venue, may a state constitutionally provide by statute that a crime be tried by jurors summoned from a county other than the county …
