Infuturia Global Ltd. V. Sequus Pharmaceuticals, Inc.: The Breadth Of Removal Jurisdiction Under 9 U.S.C. § 205, Conor Burden Leonard
Golden Gate University Law Review
In Infuturia Global Ltd. v. Sequus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit analyzed the scope of federal removal jurisdiction over matters related to certain international arbitration agreements and awards. In doing so, the Ninth Circuit articulated a broad standard to determine whether a federal court is an appropriate forum to hear a dispute related to a foreign arbitration agreement or award. The Ninth Circuit interpreted the key language of the relevant provision to permit removal whenever there is an arbitral award or agreement that “could conceivably affect the outcome of the plaintiff’s suit.”

Nature Conservation And Trade Distortion: Green Box And Blue Box Farming Subsidies In Europe, Jim Dixon
Nature Conservation And Trade Distortion: Green Box And Blue Box Farming Subsidies In Europe, Jim Dixon
Golden Gate University Law Review
Many rural communities in Europe are distinctively dependent on farming. Also, the very close association between Europe's environmental assets - soil, water, forests, biodiversity - and farming make a strong case for integrating environmental objectives in farm policy. However, the European model too often assumes that Europe's farming is static and that market protection (in the form of export subsidies, tariffs and subsidies) will automatically deliver the additional functions of the European model. This article will seek to critique this assumption. It is argued that the European Model is justifiable as a descriptor of part of the EU countryside but …
