International Law In Mexican Courts, Jorge Cicero

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Kalanke V. Freie Hansestadt Bremen: The Significance Of The Kalanke Decision On Future Positive Action Programs In The European Union, Rebecca Means Jan 1997

Kalanke V. Freie Hansestadt Bremen: The Significance Of The Kalanke Decision On Future Positive Action Programs In The European Union, Rebecca Means

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

In the landmark case Kalanke v. Freie Hansestadt Bremen, the European Court of Justice held that a German state law giving women an "absolute and unconditional priority" in the labor market was inconsistent with the European Equal Treatment Directive. Although many Europeans vehemently criticized the Kalanke decision initially, the furor now appears to have subsided. As a result of this decision, however, the European Union is currently re-examining equal treatment policies and will likely provide further guidance to Member States attempting to formulate positive action programs.

This Note first discusses the institutions of the European Union as they relate to …

Assisted Suicide: The State Versus The People, John P. Safranek, Stephen J. Safranek Jan 1997

Assisted Suicide: The State Versus The People, John P. Safranek, Stephen J. Safranek

Seattle University Law Review

This Article will examine the Ninth Circuit's appeal to personal dignity and autonomy to justify a constitutional right of assisted suicide in the face of pluralist opposition, that is, a law duly enacted by a majority of elected representatives in a state or by the people directly. Scrutiny of the Ninth Circuit's decision will reveal the formidable jurisprudential obstacles to basing a right to assisted suicide on dignity and autonomy, obstacles the Supreme Court refused to overcome in revoking Compassion in Dying. This examination is divided into three parts: the first analyzes attempts to justify rights on the principle …

Please Senator, I Want Some More: The General Assembly Gets An F Form The Derolph Court , Ronald M. Mcmillan

Cleveland State Law Review

On March 24, 1997, the Ohio Supreme Court took an important stand against the impoverishment of our state's schools. In DeRolph v. State, the court ruled that a state school funding system violates state constitutional provisions because the state school funding system fails to meet the constitutional mandate to provide a "thorough and efficient" system of public schools. Part II of this Comment will describe the procedural history of the DeRolph matter. Part III will discuss the majority opinion and its rulings on the justiciability of the matter, the inadequacies of Ohio's school funding system, and the history of the …
