Constitutional Analogies In The International Legal System, Laurence R. Helfer Jan 2003

Constitutional Analogies In The International Legal System, Laurence R. Helfer

Faculty Scholarship

This Article explores issues at the frontier of international law and constitutional law. It considers five key structural and systemic challenges that the international legal system now faces: (1) decentralization and disaggregation; (2) normative and institutional hierarchies; (3) compliance and enforcement; (4) exit and escape; and (5) democracy and legitimacy. Each of these issues raises questions of governance, institutional design, and allocation of authority paralleling the questions that domestic legal systems have answered in constitutional terms. For each of these issues, I survey the international legal landscape and consider the salience of potential analogies to domestic constitutions, drawing upon and …

Wto Compassion Or Superiority Complex?:What To Make Of The Wto Waiver For “Conflict Diamonds”, Joost H. B. Pauwelyn Jan 2003

Wto Compassion Or Superiority Complex?:What To Make Of The Wto Waiver For “Conflict Diamonds”, Joost H. B. Pauwelyn

Faculty Scholarship

In May 2003, the WTO granted a waiver for trade restrictions imposed on WTO members not participating in the Kimberley Certification Scheme combating so-called "conflict diamonds." This Article examines the implications of this waiver decision. It argues that GATT/TBT provisions may already excuse the trade restrictions at issue, especially now that the UN Security Council has explicitly supported them. The waiver, therefore, risks sending out the wrong signals, confirming a WTO "superiority complex." At the same time, by excluding restrictions between Kimberley participants from its scope, the waiver implies that WTO members considered the Kimberley scheme to be a non-WTO …

A Typology Of Multilateral Treaty Obligations: Are Wto Obligations Bilateral Or Collective In Nature?, Joost H. B. Pauwelyn Jan 2003

A Typology Of Multilateral Treaty Obligations: Are Wto Obligations Bilateral Or Collective In Nature?, Joost H. B. Pauwelyn

Faculty Scholarship

An important, though oft neglected, distinction between multilateral treaty obligations separates obligations of the bilateral nature from those of the collective or erga omnes partes type. Multilateral obligations of the bilateral type can be reduced to a compilation of bilateral, state-to-state relations. They can be compared to contracts. Collective obligations, in contrast, cannot be divided into bilateral components. They are concluded in pursuit of a collective interest that transcends the individual interests of the contracting parties. The standard example of such obligations are those arising under a human rights treaty. In domestic law, collective obligations can be compared to criminal …


The Segregation And Resegregation Of American Public Education: The Court’S Role, Erwin Chemerinsky Jan 2003

The Segregation And Resegregation Of American Public Education: The Court’S Role, Erwin Chemerinsky

Faculty Scholarship

Schools in the South and throughout the country are resegregating. Why is this occuring, and why were desegregation efforts limited in their success? This Essay argues that the Supreme Court is largely to blame. In a series of decisions in the 1970's, the Court ensured separate and unequal schools by preventing inderdistrict remedies, refusing to find that inequities in school funding are unconstitutional, and making it difficult to prove a constitutional violation in northern de facto segregated school systems. In a series of decisions in the 1990's, the Court ordered an end to effective desegregation orders. Lower federal courts have …

The Limits Of Litigation: ‘Americanization’ And Negotiation In The Settlement Of Wto Disputes, Joost H. B. Pauwelyn Jan 2003

The Limits Of Litigation: ‘Americanization’ And Negotiation In The Settlement Of Wto Disputes, Joost H. B. Pauwelyn

Faculty Scholarship

This Article examines the extent to which World Trade Organization WTO) dispute settlement is "Americanized." It scrutinizes three features of the WTO mechanism for proof of "Americanization": the right to a panel, the legalization of the panel process, and the bilateral and adversarial nature of the WTO dispute settlement system. Recognizing the many benefits linked to these three features, the Article then identifies some of the problems that have accompanied them. Finally, the Article suggests ways to remedy those problems focusing, in particular, on how trade disputes could be settled other than through bilateral state-to-state litigation. In that sense, the …


Modeling Supreme Court Strategic Decision Making: The Congressional Constraint, Barak D. Richman, Mario Bergara, Pablo T. Spiller Jan 2003

Modeling Supreme Court Strategic Decision Making: The Congressional Constraint, Barak D. Richman, Mario Bergara, Pablo T. Spiller

Faculty Scholarship

This paper addresses the contradictory results obtained by Segal (1997) and Spiller and Gely (1992) concerning the impact of institutional constraints on the U.S. Supreme Court's decision making. By adapting the Spiller and Gely maximum likelihood model to the Segal dataset, we find support for the hypothesis that the Court adjusts its decisions to presidential and congressional preferences. Data from 1947 to 1992 indicate that the average probability of the Court being constrained has been approximately one-third. Further, we show that the results obtained by Segal are the product of biases introduced by a misspecified econometric model. We also discuss …

Segregation And Resegregation In North Carolina’S Public School Classrooms, Charles T. Clotfelter, Helen F. Ladd, Jacob L. Vigdor Jan 2003

Segregation And Resegregation In North Carolina’S Public School Classrooms, Charles T. Clotfelter, Helen F. Ladd, Jacob L. Vigdor

Faculty Scholarship

Although many studies have used information at the school level to measure the degree of racial segregation between schools, the absence of more detailed data has limited the analysis of segregation within schools. Using a rich set of administrative data on North Carolina public schools, we examine patterns of enrollment both across and within schools, allowing us to assess the comparative importance of segregation of each type and how they interact. To examine patterns in upper as well as lower grades, we perform separate tabulations for 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th grades. The data make possible what we believe to …
