The Myth Of The Nullifying Jury, Nancy S. Marder Jan 1999

The Myth Of The Nullifying Jury, Nancy S. Marder

Nancy S. Marder

Jury nullification, an issue that has received much public attention, has been used loosely to describe verdicts with which members of the press and public disagree. One aim of this article is to explain what nullification is and to identify and describe three different situations in which nullification is likely to arise. Another aim is to offer two conceptions of the jury before assessing whether nullification is helpful or harmful to the judicial system. One conception, "a conventional view," largely held by judges, regards the jury as a fact-finding body and little more. My own conception, which I have labeled …

Sex, Rape And Shame, Katharine K. Baker Jan 1999

Sex, Rape And Shame, Katharine K. Baker

Katharine K. Baker

This article explores how shame sanctions may be able to change the social meaning and decrease the prevalence of date rape. Arguing that men's tendency to date rape is fostered by social norms that treat sex as an accomplishment and, importantly, an accomplishment that enhances a man's masculinity status, the article suggests that one way to curb date rape is to curb the extent to which it is associated with masculine behavior. This strategy is necessary because the high premium society places on masculinity and the cultural confusion about when date rape is morally wrong and how it is different …

Implications Of The Tax Reform Proposals For Fraud – Or – How To Shift To A Consumption Tax Without Helping The Cheaters, Kalyani Robbins Jan 1999

Implications Of The Tax Reform Proposals For Fraud – Or – How To Shift To A Consumption Tax Without Helping The Cheaters, Kalyani Robbins

Kalyani Robbins

The vast majority of the proposals on the table today are simply different implementation mechanisms of the same basic idea: a change in the tax base from income to consumption. The purpose of this article is to consider the implications some of these proposals have for the enforcement of tax compliance (prevention of cheating). For this reason, it will only briefly address the impetus for a consumption tax and the policy considerations behind it. The first part will also give short descriptions of the proposals that will be considered in this article: the National Retail Sales Tax, the Savings-Exempt Income …

La Constitución Incompleta: Reforma Institucional Para La Estabilidad Democrática, José Luis Sardón Jan 1999

La Constitución Incompleta: Reforma Institucional Para La Estabilidad Democrática, José Luis Sardón

Jose Luis Sardon

Este libro contiene un ensayo de teoría política desarrollada la perspectiva de la “elección racional” y aplicada al proceso político peruano. Según éste, una Constitución debe entenderse como las reglas de juego político que se tienen en un país. Entre ellas, existen dos especialmente relevantes para que se llegue a tener democracias estables: las reglas referidas al calendario electoral y las vinculadas a la magnitud de los distritos electorales en los que se eligen a los congresistas. Lamentablemente, el Perú no cuenta con reglas propicias respecto de ninguno de estos aspectos. Según el autor, son las inadecuadas reglas de juego …

A Non-Material Form Of Copyright: The Strange History Of Lecturer’S Copyright, Alex Steel Jan 1999

A Non-Material Form Of Copyright: The Strange History Of Lecturer’S Copyright, Alex Steel

Alex Steel

This article traces the history of a specific copyright in the spoken word in private lectures, a copyright that did not require the words to be reduced to material form in order to gain protection. In the early to mid 1800’s much money could be made from the giving of lectures, and private lecturers were searching for ways to protect their livelihood. The first case to successfully prevent the unauthorised reprinting of lectures was Abernethy v Hutchinson (1825); generally considered to be the case which formed the basis for the action for breach of confidence. This was a case about …

Critical Space Theory: Keeping Local Geography In American And European Environmental Law, Robert R.M. Verchick Jan 1999

Critical Space Theory: Keeping Local Geography In American And European Environmental Law, Robert R.M. Verchick

Robert R.M. Verchick

Recently, legal scholars have begun to explore the meaning and significance of geographic space in law within the United States and internationally, a project highlighted in a 1996 Stanford Law Review symposium. Much of this discussion draws implicitly and explicitly on critical legal theory in approaching geographic themes -- suggesting the beginning of what the author calls "Critical Space Theory." This article uses Critical Space Theory to address the legal significance of geography in relation to two environmental issues in the United States and the European Union: (1) transborder waste transportation and (2) judicial standing. Each issue raises questions of …

Domestic Violence And The Law: An Impassioned Exploration For Family Peace, Sarah M. Buel Jan 1999

Domestic Violence And The Law: An Impassioned Exploration For Family Peace, Sarah M. Buel

SARAH M BUEL

In thinking about the family law practitioner's response to domestic violence issues over the past few decades, it is heartening to note some progress while remaining deeply concerned that many lawyers have yet to embrace even the most basic tenets of victim safety and offender accountability. Domestic violence impacts most lawyers and judges; however, those in the field of family law are positioned to dramatically improve the lives of all parties, if they have learned how to intervene effectively. The continuing violence indicates that we must examine the larger issues: namely, the social, cultural and economic conditions that will facilitate …
