There are two types of pendent personal jurisdiction.

This type is especially common where courts have personal jurisdiction over the defendant because of a statute with …


A Union By Any Other Name? How Capital Misses The Mark On The Position Of Worker Centers Within The Current Labor Law Regime, Elizabeth Dailey Jan 2019

A Union By Any Other Name? How Capital Misses The Mark On The Position Of Worker Centers Within The Current Labor Law Regime, Elizabeth Dailey

Prize Winning Papers

These worker centers seek to rebalance the relative collective bargaining power between labor and capital in the 21st century economy.

There And Back Again, A Smuggler’S Tale: Hawala And Money Laundering In The Greater Philadelphia Area, David Marshall Block

Prize Winning Papers

This paper seeks to explain the extralegal contractual relations governing Hawala and other related informal financial transfer systems (IFTS). Hawala, and other IFTF’s, have faced a regulatory onslaught in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11, as well as competitive pressures from traditional money transfer systems. Despite these competitive pressures, IFTS’s still occupy a major market position in the money transfer market place, in particular amongst Asian and African immigrant communities in the Western world. Two recent academic papers have theorized what governs the extralegal contractual relations of Hawala, but no literature has been developed based on a …
