Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce
The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the need to re-think the principle of self-determination by establishing that an undesirable level of uncertainty exists regarding the usage of the term, and to show that a major cause of the confusion is due to the inadequacy of conventional approaches. These objectives will be achieved by identifying and evaluating conflicting approaches toward the meaning of self-determination, proposing an explanation for why the debate has evolved and suggesting which approach best serves the needs of the international community.

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce
During World War I, Jews were allowed to serve in the German armed forces. Gradually Jews were permitted to practice the professions, including law.

With the accession to power of Hitler and the National Socialist party in the 1930s, however, things changed radically. They were deprived of their rights and dismissed from their jobs. During the period from 1933 to 1941, when escape became impossible, a few …
Mexico's New Foreign Investment Regulations: A Legal Analysis, J. H. Kepner Jr.
Mexico's New Foreign Investment Regulations: A Legal Analysis, J. H. Kepner Jr.

This could have serious ramifications for both himself and his investment.

They are thrown into the cage of a foreign language - a language that will seldom come as naturally as is necessary to express their creativity. He often loses his emotional and intellectual identity! In this essay we seek to cast light on this loss of identity. In doing so, we hope to bring out from the shadows some of the frustrations and tribulations of the law professor …
