Australian Icons: Authenticity Marks And Identity Politics, Matthew Rimmer Aug 2004

Australian Icons: Authenticity Marks And Identity Politics, Matthew Rimmer

Matthew Rimmer

This article evaluates the adoption and implementation of an Indigenous certification trademark system in Australia. Section II considers the use of copyright law, moral rights provisions and consumer protection laws to protect Indigenous cultural property in Australia. It suggests that there needs to be additional protection under trademark law - especially to deal with problems concerning communal ownership, material form and duration of protection. Section III evaluates the efficacy of the scheme for marks of authenticity established by the National Indigenous Arts Advocacy Association in November 1999. It contends that there were practical problems with the implementation of the scheme …

When Laws Backfire: Unintended Consequences Of Public Policy, Roger Roots Jul 2004

When Laws Backfire: Unintended Consequences Of Public Policy, Roger Roots

Roger Roots

Why is it that so many laws perpetually fall short of their intended goals? Why haven’t humanity’s greatest minds managed to solve basic social ills? This article amasses considerable evidence suggesting that (a) law is inherently incapable of producing major social change because legal restrictions unsettle social equilibria and generate counteractions and (b) the subconscious purpose behind many laws is the promotion of social solidarity for its own sake. The author concludes that laws and the politics that forge them are essentially religious practices that have little basis in rational analysis. Thus can be explained both the perpetual failure of …

A Misrepresented Reform: The Story Of The Road Accidents Victims' Compensation Act, Ronen Perry Jul 2004

A Misrepresented Reform: The Story Of The Road Accidents Victims' Compensation Act, Ronen Perry

Ronen Perry

The official motive for the enactment of the Road Accidents' Victims Compensation Act of 1975 was a social one. According to the traditional view, the Act was meant to guarantee an appropriate and immediate compensation to all victims of road accidents. The abolishment of fault, the expansion of mandatory insurance, and the establishment of the Road Accidents' Victims Compensation Fund (Karnit) were supposed to turn the dream into reality. Furthermore, in order to aid the victim and avoid undue pressure to compromise, the legislature granted the victim the right to immediate (interim) payments. Finally, the alleged simplicity of the Act …


"Is The Wheel Unbalanced?: A Study Of Bias On Zoning Boards", Jerry L. Anderson Jul 2004

"Is The Wheel Unbalanced?: A Study Of Bias On Zoning Boards", Jerry L. Anderson

Jerry L. Anderson

This article describes an empirical study of the occupational composition of zoning boards in Iowa. The study finds that both zoning adjustment boards and planning commissions are heavily weighted toward white-collar professionals; labor and agricultural interests are significantly under-represented. Moreover, the study finds that boards are heavily populated with those who stand to gain from property development. The study recommends that legal restrictions on board appointments be tightened to ensure a better cross-section of the community is represented.

The Democratic Public Domain: Reconnecting The Modern First Amendment And The Original Progress Clause (A.K.A. Copyright And Patent Clause), Malla Pollack Jun 2004

The Democratic Public Domain: Reconnecting The Modern First Amendment And The Original Progress Clause (A.K.A. Copyright And Patent Clause), Malla Pollack

Malla Pollack

Empirical investigation of public usage of the word "progress" in the United States of 1789 demonstrates that the word meant "dissemination." The original meaning of art. I, sec. 8, cl. 8, therefore, is that Congress has the right to grant only such temporally limited exclusive rights in writings and new technology as encourage the dissemination of knowledge and new technology to the population. This article explains the major differences between current United States positive intellectual property law and the logical dictates of this original constitutional meaning. Additionally, the article asserts that the original meaning of clause 8 supports modern calls …

An Imperative For Today: Recognizing A Positive Legal Right To Palliative Care (In Hebrew), Reuven Ziegler, Sylviane Colombo

Dr. Reuven (Ruvi) Ziegler

The issue of palliative care, which is increasingly at the heart of the end-of-life discourse in the international legal community, has receive, surprisingly, little to no attention in Israel. The main objective of this paper is to place palliative care on the public and legal agenda, to emphasize the vital importance of openly discussing end-of-life questions, and to bring about a change in the legal status of palliative care in Israel. Discussion of end-of-life issues in the Israeli legal community has until now revolved almost exclusively around the issue of euthanasia; in the few instances where palliative care has been …

Law School Enters The Matrix: Teaching Critical Legal Studies, Jerry L. Anderson Jun 2004

Law School Enters The Matrix: Teaching Critical Legal Studies, Jerry L. Anderson

Jerry L. Anderson

Critical legal theory should be more widely taught as a useful way of analyzing the law. Recent critiques of CLS do not diminish its usefulness as a tool for teaching critical thinking. Many professors, however, find it difficult to convey the essential concept of CLS in a way students can grasp. This article suggests that the popular movie "The Matrix" may provide a method of explaining critical theory to students.

Legal Systems As A Determinant Of Fdi In South Asia, Maurya Vijay Chandra

Maurya Vijay Chandra

systems are an important factor affecting the location of foreign direct investment (FDD; that predictable and efficient legal systems are the most effective in attracting FDI; and that efficiency and predictability are, in the opinion of investors, best achieved by adopting a 'western-style' legal system in which government and bureaucratic discretion are limited, laws are enforced consistently, corruption is low and the judiciary and bureaucracy are independent from politicians.

Frontline Demonstration On Sesame In West Bengal, Ganesh Chandra, R L. Sagar

Ganesh Chandra

Sesame is one of the important oilseeds crop in India, which plays a major role in supplementing the income of small and marginal farmers of Sunderbans. One of the major constraints of traditional Sesame farming is low productivity of local varieties.

Kakdwip, Namkhana, Patharpratima and Kulpi of Sunderbans, West Bengal. Cultivation of high yielding varieties of Sesame viz.

Strangers In A Strange Land - Transnational Litigation, Foreign Judgment Recognition, And Enforcement In Ontario, Antonin I. Pribetic

Antonin I. Pribetic

Well into the new millennium, the landscape of international business commerce continues to change dramatically. As many companies expand into global markets, the extant business reality of prosecuting or defending lawsuits arises from companies relying upon standard or boiler plate contracts or invoices when selling goods and services to customers or buying products from suppliers or third parties. This article discusses transnational contractual and litigation issues in Canada, with specific application to the province of Ontario. This article first addresses, from an Ontario company perspective, the importance of incorporating choice of forum, choice of law, and time of the essence …


Insider Trading In India , Pankaj Singh, Dharamveer Singh Chauhan Apr 2004

Insider Trading In India , Pankaj Singh, Dharamveer Singh Chauhan

Pankaj Singh

It was only about three decades back that insider trading was recognized in many developed countries as what it was - an injustice; in fact, a crime against shareholders and markets in general. At one time, not so far in the past, inside information and its use for personal profits was regarded as a perk of office and a benefit of having reached a high stage in life. It was the Sunday Times of UK that coined the classic phrase in 1973 to describe this sentiment - "the crime of being something in the city", meaning that insider trading was …
