Wrong Claim, Wrong Party, Wrong Court: Assessing The Petition Brought By A Coalition Of Clergy, Lawyers, & Professors On Behalf Of Detainees Held By The U.S. Military In Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, John C. Eastman

John C. Eastman

This brief article assesses the merits of the habeas corpus petition filed by a group of Los Angeles-based attorneys and professors on behalf of terrorists being detained by the United States in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Antitrust And International Regulatory Federalism, Andrew T. Guzman Dec 2000

Antitrust And International Regulatory Federalism, Andrew T. Guzman

Andrew T Guzman

In this Essay, Andrew Guzman proposes internationalization of antitrust law to supplant current methods of antitrust regulation across national borders. Specifically, instead of relying on local regulation, bilateral agreements between states, or a choice-of-law rule for antitrust enforcement, countries should adopt universal substantive standards.

Constitutional Structure As A Limitation On The Scope Of The "Law Of Nations" In The Alien Tort Claims Act, Donald J. Kochan

Donald J. Kochan

Jurisdiction matters. Outside of the set of jurisdictional constraints, the judiciary is at sea; it poses a threat to the separation of powers and risks becoming a dangerous and domineering branch. Jurisdictional limitations serve a particularly important function when the judiciary is dealing with issues of international law. Since much of international law concerns foreign relations, the province of the executive and, in part, the legislature, the danger that the judiciary will act in a policy-making role or will frustrate the functions of the political branches is especially great. The Framers of the Constitution were particularly concerned with constructing a …
