The Invalidity Of The 1910 Japan-Korea Annexation Treaty And The Plain Defects Of The Corollaries In Japanese Assertions Of The Sovereign Title To The Dokdo Island, Young K. Kim
Young K Kim
In view of the rule of international law, the Japanese control upon the Korean territories during these 26 years could only been precisely defined as a belligerent occupation. No sovereign title or any legally valid title had ever been entitled to Japan, by this belligerent occupation. So, when the subjection by the Japanese warlords ended, the liberated Korea had immediately resumed the national liberty and the proud cultural heritage. Any vestiges of Japanese control over to the Korean territories should have been eliminated completely, and at once. Removing Japanese warlords from the Korean territory was the only condition for the …
Undue Equation Of 'Savings' With 'Compensation For Services': Case Comment, Belachew M. Fikre
Undue Equation Of 'Savings' With 'Compensation For Services': Case Comment, Belachew M. Fikre
Belachew M Fikre
Individual employer-employee relations are regulated by a regime called 'employment law'. Despite the inadequate semantic clarity in our legal system regarding the usage of the words 'employment law' and 'labour law', the latter is 'understood as the regime that governs workers' efforts to advance their own shared interests through self-organisation and collective protest, pressure, negotiation and agreement with employers. Among the numerous benefits accorded to an outgoing employee is severance payment that somehow provides an interim income during transition from one engagement to another. And this form of benefit represents one variety of the 'third wing' within the regime of …
Compulsory Ex Ante Control: Rise And Fall Of The Control Over The Legislator, Sergio Verdugo Sverdugor@Udd.Cl
Compulsory Ex Ante Control: Rise And Fall Of The Control Over The Legislator, Sergio Verdugo Sverdugor@Udd.Cl
Sergio Verdugo R.
The author criticizes the power of the Chilean Constitutional Court to exercise compulsory ex-ante control of statutes, established in article 93, number 1, of the Chilean Constitution. After clarifying its special juridical nature, he analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of this system of control, using national and foreign bibliography. The existence of a constitutional seal aggravates the disadvantages. Then, he dedicates a section to study the motivation of the judgments generated in this type of control, questioning its value. For such purposes he makes a theoretical and empirical study of the jurisprudence of the Chilean Constitutional Court in the last …
Fairness And The Willingness To Accept Plea Bargain Offers, Oren Gazal-Ayal, Avishalom Tor, Stephen M. Garcia
Fairness And The Willingness To Accept Plea Bargain Offers, Oren Gazal-Ayal, Avishalom Tor, Stephen M. Garcia
Oren Gazal-Ayal
In contrast with the typical assumption in plea bargaining law and economics, we show defendants may reject plea offers based on fairness considerations. Specifically, offers where the sanction clearly appears excessive for the crime ("substantively unfair") and offers that appear inferior to those received by others in similar cases ("comparatively unfair") diminish defendants' wiliingness to accept plea offers (WTAP). Part 1 analyzes real-world data in Study 1 and reviews early experiments, all of which sugget substantive fairness impacts WTAP but do not control for important confounds. Part 2 therefore presents Studies 2-4 that confirm the independent impact of substantive fairness. …
Putting Forfeiture To Work, Sarah M. Buel
Putting Forfeiture To Work, Sarah M. Buel
SARAH M BUEL
Intimate partner violence (“IPV”) victims are increasingly turning to the courts for help, too often with poor results. Successful witness tampering by offenders sabotages the court system by silencing victims through an array of unlawful conduct, including coercion and violence. The doctrine of forfeiture by wrongdoing should afford a viable solution, but several obstacles constrain its efficacy. Much confusion exists regarding witness tampering and forfeiture law as a result of the recent trilogy of the Crawford, Davis, and Giles Supreme Court decisions. Their cumulative effect is decreased doctrinal uniformity within a perplexing scheme that is difficult to implement. The resulting …
Liberalism And The Limits Of Inclusion: Race And Immigration Law In The Americas, 1850-2000, David Cook-Martín, David Fitzgerald
Liberalism And The Limits Of Inclusion: Race And Immigration Law In The Americas, 1850-2000, David Cook-Martín, David Fitzgerald
David Cook-Martín
The relationship between classical political liberalism and racism poses distinct puzzles for different schools of scholarship. On the one hand, conventional accounts maintain that racism has been an aberration in politically liberal regimes. In the field of international migration, prominent analysts have argued that politically liberal regimes are inherently incompatible with legal discrimination based on race. Yet an examination of immigration and nationality laws throughout the Americas from 1850 to 2000 suggests that racial discrimination has been more common in liberal than in illiberal countries of immigration. These empirical findings puzzle scholars who assume (1) the progressive extension of rights …
Development Of A Dna Database In Ireland — Assessing The Proposed Legislation, Liz Campbell
Development Of A Dna Database In Ireland — Assessing The Proposed Legislation, Liz Campbell
Liz Campbell
The collection and retention of DNA samples are seen universally as crucial for purposes of criminal investigation and prosecution, as a means of excluding innocent suspects, and of exonerating the wrongfully convicted. However, there is less consistency across jurisdictions regarding whose DNA should be obtained by the state and for how long it should be stored. The need for a measured approach in this context is underlined by the “exceptionalism” of genetic material, given the depth and sensitivity of the information contained within, and the potential for “function creep”, whereby state powers insidiously increase and data gathered for one purpose …
Comment On James Boyd White's Book "Living Speech" (Princeton 2006), Yofi Tirosh
Comment On James Boyd White's Book "Living Speech" (Princeton 2006), Yofi Tirosh
Yofi Tirosh
Professor White introduces a new way for thinking about speech; a new measure for assessing it. He invites us to use speech carefully and responsibly, in what he calls “living speech.” Caring about the value of speech is not merely an aesthetic endeavor. As meaning making creatures, as “centers of meaning,” we should know how to recognize the speech that is essential to our humanness. Because living speech is “what enables any of us to be a person in the first place” (16).
How can we recognize living speech? The short answer that White gives us, which is indeed poetic …
From Immutable To Existential: Protecting Who We Are And Who We Want To Be With The 'Equalerty' Of The Substantive Due Process Clause, Aaron J. Shuler
From Immutable To Existential: Protecting Who We Are And Who We Want To Be With The 'Equalerty' Of The Substantive Due Process Clause, Aaron J. Shuler
Aaron J Shuler
Abstract Scholars have written about the duality of the substantive due process and equal protection doctrines and described how they have worked in tandem, although many academics have focused on, or outright called for, a preference for the use of the equal protection clause. Another contingent of the academic community, however, has discussed the favored use of substantive due process in the last fifty years in providing equal treatment for all groups by ferreting out discrimination against marginalized minorities. Scholars have also separately alluded to substantive due process’ ability to protect the most existential of liberties. This works seeks to …

The Greatest Legal Movie Of All Time: Proclaiming The Real Winner, Grant H. Morris
The Greatest Legal Movie Of All Time: Proclaiming The Real Winner, Grant H. Morris
Grant H Morris
In August, 2008, the ABA Journal featured an article entitled: “The 25 Greatest Legal Movies.” A panel of experts, described in the article as “12 prominent lawyers who teach film or are connected to the business” selected “the best movies ever made about lawyers and the law.” This distinguished panel ranked its twenty-five top legal movies, choosing To Kill a Mockingbird as its number one legal movie. The panel also selected twenty-five films as “honorable mentions,” which were listed in alphabetical order. In my opinion, however, the real greatest legal movie of all time was not selected as the winner. …
Teaching With Emotion: Enriching The Educational Experience Of First-Year Law Students, Grant H. Morris
Teaching With Emotion: Enriching The Educational Experience Of First-Year Law Students, Grant H. Morris
Grant H Morris
Through the case method and Socratic dialogue, first year law students are taught to develop critical legal analytic skills–to “think like a lawyer.” Those skills, however, are primarily, if not entirely, intellectual. This article discusses the need to address emotional issues in educating law students. Unlike other articles, my article does not merely urge professors to raise such issues in their classes and discuss them analytically. Rather, I want students to actually experience emotion in the classroom setting as they discuss various fact situations and the legal principles involved in the resolution of disputes involving those facts. Law students need …
Native America, United States Senate Bill S.578 And The United States Supreme Court, Dewi I. Ball
Native America, United States Senate Bill S.578 And The United States Supreme Court, Dewi I. Ball
Dewi Ioan Ball
In 2003, the United States Senate introduced bill S.578 and the House of Representatives introduced H.R. 2242, both of which were called the Tribal Government Amendments to the Homeland Security Act. In light of the attacks of September 11, 2001, the bills were designed to shore up the security of the United States, and specifically, allow greater authority and jurisdiction for Native American Nations to combat terrorism and the threat of terrorism on reservations. This article examines the impact of Section 13 of S.578, which was a re-affirmation of the principle of inherent tribal sovereignty and the congressional definition of …
United States Supreme Court Opinions And Their Negative Impact On The Everyday Lives Of Native Americans Tribes, Dewi I. Ball
United States Supreme Court Opinions And Their Negative Impact On The Everyday Lives Of Native Americans Tribes, Dewi I. Ball
Dewi Ioan Ball
This article examines the connection between U.S. Supreme Court decisions and their impact on the everyday lives in a small number of Native American reservations. Since 1959, the U.S. Supreme Court has been slowly eroding the Indian sovereignty doctrine and with this erosion has come an increasing number of cases decided against Indian interests. After the watershed cases of Atkinson Trading Co., v. Shirley and Nevada v. Hicks in 2001, the Indian Senate Committee conducted a hearing on the rulings of the U.S. Supreme Court. With reliance on three key publications, this article addresses a gap in Federal Indian law …

Let My People Go: Ethnic In-Group Bias In Judicial Decisions – Evidence From A Randomized Natural Experiment, Oren Gazal-Ayal, Raanan Sulitzeanu-Kenan
Let My People Go: Ethnic In-Group Bias In Judicial Decisions – Evidence From A Randomized Natural Experiment, Oren Gazal-Ayal, Raanan Sulitzeanu-Kenan
Oren Gazal-Ayal
Does ethnic identity affect judicial decisions? We provide new evidence on ethnic biases in judicial behavior, by examining the decisions of Arab and Jewish judges in first bail hearings of Arab and Jewish suspects in Israeli courts. Our setting avoids the potential bias from unobservable case characteristics by exploiting the random assignment of judges to cases during weekends, and by focusing on the difference in ethnic disparity between Arab and Jewish judges. The study concentrates on the early-stage decisions in the judicial criminal process, controlling for the state's position, and excluding agreements, thereby allowing us to distinguish judicial bias from …
Customary International Law In The 21st Century: Old Challenges And New Debates, Roozbeh (Rudy) B. Baker
Customary International Law In The 21st Century: Old Challenges And New Debates, Roozbeh (Rudy) B. Baker
Roozbeh (Rudy) B. Baker
This Article will survey the new scholarship that has emerged in international law to challenge the two traditional sources of customary norms, state practice and opinio juris. With the recent growth, in the international system, of self-contained international criminal tribunals, new challenges facing international law have emerged. Institutionally structured as self-contained legal regimes, international legal tribunals such as the ICTY, ICTR, and now the ICC have nevertheless contributed to a new paradigm within international law. The jurisprudence of these international criminal tribunals, on a wide range of international legal questions, has slowly begun to be elevated into norms of customary …
New Developments In Developmental Research On Social Information Processing And Antisocial Behavior, Reid G. Fontaine
New Developments In Developmental Research On Social Information Processing And Antisocial Behavior, Reid G. Fontaine
Reid G. Fontaine
The Special Section on developmental research on social information processing (SIP) and antisocial behavior is here introduced. Following a brief history of SIP theory, comments on several themes—measurement and assessment, attributional and interpretational style, response evaluation and decision, and the relation between emotion and SIP—that tie together four new empirical investigations are provided. Notable contributions of these studies are highlighted.

Does Response Evaluation And Decision (Red) Mediate The Relation Between Hostile Attributional Style And Antisocial Behavior In Adolescence?, Reid G. Fontaine
Does Response Evaluation And Decision (Red) Mediate The Relation Between Hostile Attributional Style And Antisocial Behavior In Adolescence?, Reid G. Fontaine
Reid G. Fontaine
The role of hostile attributional style (HAS) in antisocial development has been well-documented. We analyzed longitudinal data on 585 youths (48% female; 19% ethnic minority) to test the hypothesis that response evaluation and decision (RED) mediates the relation between HAS and antisocial behavior in adolescence. In Grades 10 and 12, adolescent participants and their parents reported participants’ antisocial conduct. In Grade 11, participants were asked to imagine themselves in videotaped ambiguous-provocation scenarios. Segment 1 of each scenario presented an ambiguous provocation, after which participants answered HAS questions. In segment 2, participants were asked to imagine themselves responding aggressively to the …
A Name Of One's Own: Gender And Symbolic Legal Personhood In The European Court Of Human Rights, Yofi Tirosh
A Name Of One's Own: Gender And Symbolic Legal Personhood In The European Court Of Human Rights, Yofi Tirosh
Yofi Tirosh
Legal regulation of surnames provides a fascinating venue for examining how women negotiate their interests of autonomy and of stable personhood vis a vis a patriarchal naming structure. This is a study of 25 years of adjudication of surnames and personal status at the European Court of Human Rights. It explores the intricate ways in which legal norms governing surnames (and their judicial interpretation) sustain, shape, and reify social institutions such as gender, family, and citizenship.
As a pan European court, the adjudication of the ECHR operates within the framework of human rights. The universal characteristics of human rights principles …

From Objective Right To Subjective Rights: The Franciscans And The Interest And Will Conceptions Of Rights, Siegfried Van Duffel
Siegfried Van Duffel
What are subjective rights? And what makes Will and Interest conceptions of rights into conceptions of rights? I argue that they originate in two very different natural rights theories which are, however, grounded in the same philosophical anthropology.
Labour Trafficking: Prosecutions And Other Proceedings, Fiona M. David Ms
Labour Trafficking: Prosecutions And Other Proceedings, Fiona M. David Ms
Fiona David
In Australia, three defendants in two cases have been charged and prosecuted for ‘slavery’ or ’trafficking in persons’ under the Criminal Code (Cth), in circumstances where the crimes have allegedly occurred in contexts other than the sex industry. These cases tend to be described as instances of ‘labour trafficking’, even though the parameters of this phrase are far from settled (see further AIC 2009). This brief describes the progression of these two cases through the Australian court system, with varying outcomes.

Labour Trafficking: Key Concepts And Issues, Fiona M. David Ms
Fiona David
At the international level, there is no single, clear definition of ‘labour trafficking’. Arguably, the expression can be used to describe those forms of trafficking in persons of which the exploitative purpose relates to a person’s labour. There are, however, debates over the scope and meaning of these terms. This brief provides an introduction to key terms and notes some of the issues that remain less settled.
