Attention K Mart Shoppers: In K Mart Corp. V. Cartier, Inc. The Supreme Court Granted District Courts Jurisdiction In Gray Market Disputes, Thomas H. Wolfe Jan 1988

Attention K Mart Shoppers: In K Mart Corp. V. Cartier, Inc. The Supreme Court Granted District Courts Jurisdiction In Gray Market Disputes, Thomas H. Wolfe

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

Overshadowed by the more controversial substantive questions raised by the gray market problem has been the issue of jurisdiction over gray market cases. In K Mart Corp. v. Cartier, Inc, the U.S. Supreme Court decided that the federal district courts, and not the Court of International Trade, have jurisdiction over gray market cases. The Court held that the statute controlling gray market importation cannot be considered an embargo, as that word was intended to be used by Congress. The author argues that the Supreme Court misinterpreted Congress' intent when Congress granted the Court of International Trade jurisdiction over cases involving …


Alternatives To The Fairness Doctrine: Structural Limits Should Replace Content Controls, Christopher A. Hilen Jan 1988

Alternatives To The Fairness Doctrine: Structural Limits Should Replace Content Controls, Christopher A. Hilen

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

The abolition of the Fairness Doctrine by the Federal Communications Commission provides an opportunity to reexamine the way in which broadcasters are encouraged to offer programming on controversial issues of public importance. The author outlines alternatives to the Fairness Doctrine and subjects each to a Fair Treatment Test, which requires that the alternative 1) guarantee that the public will receive programming on controversials of importance to it, and 2) provide full first amendment rights to broadcasters. The author concludes that a structural approach to broadcast regulation, under which stricter crossownership limits than presently exist are imposed on broadcasters, offers the …


Comparative Analysis Of English And American Campaign Finance Laws, Rod Stanton Fiori Jan 1988

Comparative Analysis Of English And American Campaign Finance Laws, Rod Stanton Fiori

UC Law SF International Law Review

Campaign finance laws have been adopted in many countries to combat corruption, to moderate campaign costs, to equalize the financial ability of candidates to win elections, and to reduce disparities in the influence of contributors. This Note compares the American and British efforts to control campaign financing. The author finds that many of the goals of campaign laws have not been met in the United States, because the laws have had to remain within first amendment limits and because the laws have not been enforced on a regular basis. More effective campaign finance laws have been adopted in England, but …


Treaties And Nationalization: The People's Republic Of China Experience, Jay S. Laifman Jan 1988

Treaties And Nationalization: The People's Republic Of China Experience, Jay S. Laifman

UC Law SF International Law Review

American investors have invested over ten billion dollars in the People's Republic of China. Further investment, however, has been slowed by fears that the Chinese Government could nationalize American assets in China. These fears are based on past occurrences when political instability or international disagreements have led to nationalization of foreign assets by the Chinese. This Note examines the likelihood that the People's Republic of China would nationalize foreign assets in the future and proposes treaty terms that would protect American investors without offending Chinese sensibilities. The author suggests that future United States-China trade treaties should contain more explicit language …


Law And Genocide: A Critical Annotated Bibliography, David Kader Jan 1988

Law And Genocide: A Critical Annotated Bibliography, David Kader

UC Law SF International Law Review

Since the end of World War II, many scholars have devoted their efforts to the prevention of genocide and the punishment of its perpetrators. This Bibliography lists and describes the major writings pertaining to law and genocide and reviews how these works have been reflected in the enforcement of human rights. The author notes that, just as writings on genocide have moved from broad statements of human rights to discussions of how these rights should be enforced, international law should no longer focus on creating rights, but should focus on enforcing them. The author also proposes that more study be …


Changes In The Laws Governing The Parent-Child Relationship In Post-Revolutionary Nicaragua, Beth Stephens Jan 1988

Changes In The Laws Governing The Parent-Child Relationship In Post-Revolutionary Nicaragua, Beth Stephens

UC Law SF International Law Review

Nicaragua provides a useful case analysis for the response of family law to change. This Article reviews family law in effect in Nicaragua prior to the 1979 revolution. The Article then describes how the overthrow of the Somoza regime affected law and legislation in general. The most important new legislation affecting the parent-child relationship is discussed with emphasis on the 1982 law regulating family relationships and the family law provisions of the 1987 Nicaraguan Constitution. The Article analyzes the recent reforms with regards to the relevant international standards.


Homosexuality And The European Convention On Human Rights: What Rights, Daniel J. Kane Jan 1988

Homosexuality And The European Convention On Human Rights: What Rights, Daniel J. Kane

UC Law SF International Law Review

This Note discusses the status of homosexual persons under the European Convention on Human Rights by tracing cases under the Convention that have challenged member states' criminalization of homosexual relations. These cases rest largely on the Convention's right of privacy, which has recently been held to embody the right of homosexual adults to engage in consensual sexual relations free from state criminalization. In other aspects, however, the Convention has denied antidiscrimination protection to homosexual persons, despite the existence of guarantees in the Convention that prohibit such discrimination. This Note draws upon these provisions to outline the framework upon which such …


The Paradox Of A Revolutionary Constitution: A Reading Of The Nicaraguan Constitution, Christopher P. Barton Jan 1988

The Paradox Of A Revolutionary Constitution: A Reading Of The Nicaraguan Constitution, Christopher P. Barton

UC Law SF International Law Review

Nicaragua has recently adopted its first constitution since the 1979 Sandinista Revolution. The Constitution tries to institutionalize and legitimate the power of the FSLN and the Revolution itself within the framework of a basically westernstyle constitution. This Article examines the text of the Nicaraguan Constitution to explore the political philosophy underlying constitutionalism in Nicaragua, with particular attention to the place of the Party and the Revolution in the Constitution. The Article considers tensions in the Constitutional text between legitimating the power of the FSLN and creating institutions that limit that same power. Finally, the Article considers the idea, stated in …
