Foreword, Leslie A. Robinson
Foreword, Leslie A. Robinson
San Diego International Law Journal
The articles appearing in Volume 7 of San Diego International Law Journal span the globe and cover the breadth of international law. The concept of globalization offers a prism through which to view the articles in this issue. The first three articles are focused on Africa. Nsongurua Udombana eloquently addresses the need for both debt relief and the full integration of Africa into the global trading system. Karol Boudreaux analyzes the conflict over land rights in Nigeria's Plateau State under the Land Use Act of 1978, which nationalized all land in Nigeria. Edward Fluet discusses the impact of the trade …
The Summer Has Ended And We Are Not Saved! Towards A Transformative Agenda For Africa's Development, Nsongurua J. Udombana
The Summer Has Ended And We Are Not Saved! Towards A Transformative Agenda For Africa's Development, Nsongurua J. Udombana
San Diego International Law Journal
This Article examines the promised debt relief and commends the G8 for taking the initiative to assist a continent in crisis. The Article, however, argues that debt relief is far from a complete cure, and that Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) needs more than handouts from the G8 to overcome poverty. Debt relief is merely the end of the beginning; it is, at best, a gesture of support to Africa's effort at meeting human security, which the African Union (A.U.) defines as "the security of the individual in terms of satisfaction of his/her basic needs." Africa's problems are conspicuous, though their solutions …
The Human Face Of Resource Conflict: Property And Power In Nigeria, Karol C. Boudreaux
The Human Face Of Resource Conflict: Property And Power In Nigeria, Karol C. Boudreaux
San Diego International Law Journal
This paper considers possible answers to these difficult questions by focusing on two issues: the evolution of legal norms in response to both endogenous and exogenous changes, and the role that African customary law and indigenous dispute resolution has played in promoting coordination and cooperation among group members, thereby reducing violent conflict. This paper explores legislative actions taken by the Nigerian government that impede the continued evolution of these relatively elastic customary legal norms. Property norms under customary Nigerian law were flexible enough to provide a wide variety of property rights and allow for the peaceful trading and reasonable protection …
Legislative And Policy Responses To Terrorism, A Global Perspective, Amos N. Guiora
Legislative And Policy Responses To Terrorism, A Global Perspective, Amos N. Guiora
San Diego International Law Journal
While Tuesday morning, September 11, 2001, would strike most Americans as the starting date for terrorism- at least as understood by a recently attacked America- the truth is very different both from the American and international perspective. The scope and intensity of the attack that Tuesday morning dramatically changed the American response to terrorism in the short-term and long-term. The change in America's response has impacted the American political debate, its way of life, and its legal and policy perspectives regarding terrorism and counter-terrorism alike. September 11 also had a global impact from an operational, intelligence-gathering, policy and legal perspective. …

Conflicts Diamonds: U.S. Responsibility And Response, Edward R. Fluet
San Diego International Law Journal
This Article will examine U.S. and international efforts to combat the trade in conflict diamonds. Specifically, this article will detail their failures and examine the need for U.S. backed legislation to prevent the conflict diamond trade more effectively. This article proceeds as follows: Part I will examine the effect of the conflict diamond trade on those caught in the grip of civil war and terrorism. Part II will analyze international efforts to curtail conflict diamonds trade, specifically examining international support of the Kimberley Process. Part III and IV will examine the United States'efforts to regulate conflict diamonds and the inherent …
Saving Salvage: Avoiding Misguided Changes To Salvage And Finds Law, Christopher Z. Bordelon
Saving Salvage: Avoiding Misguided Changes To Salvage And Finds Law, Christopher Z. Bordelon
San Diego International Law Journal
In recent years, as technology permitting previously impossible underwater salvage operations has become available, ancient principles of the laws of salvage and of finds as applied to sunken ships have come under attack. Those who would limit or preclude the application of salvage and finds principles and the conduct of salvage operations in the context of shipwrecks have advocated changes in both the common law of admiralty and in related statutory law. They have also supported an international convention on the subject. Academic commentary favoring heightened preservation praises these developments and promotes further initiatives to protect the "underwater cultural heritage" …
The Emerging Presence Of Mexican Law In California Courts, Jorge A. Vargas
The Emerging Presence Of Mexican Law In California Courts, Jorge A. Vargas
San Diego International Law Journal
In a quick search for cases involving foreign law that have been decided by California courts over the last two years, the results were not surprising: 100 cases were governed by Mexican law, 57 by Canadian law, 29 by Japanese law, 28 by German law, and 12 by Chinese law. I would like to pose two ideas before this learned audience: first, that becoming familiar with foreign law is a practical, intriguing and beneficial exercise for California judges and for American judges at large. And second, that Mexican law represents an emerging and a very large component of foreign law …
Mara Salvatrucha (Ms-13) And Ley Anti Mara: El Salvador's Struggle To Reclaim Social Order, Juan J. Fogelbach
Mara Salvatrucha (Ms-13) And Ley Anti Mara: El Salvador's Struggle To Reclaim Social Order, Juan J. Fogelbach
San Diego International Law Journal
MS-13 poses a threat to both Salvadorians and Americans. It is a gang that must be cooperatively contained; it will not be controlled by a simplistic burden-shifting policy that leaves El Salvador, a developing country, to unilaterally deal with the problem. This paper will argue that: (1) the deportation of gang members, which results in the arbitrary deaths of thousands of innocent Salvadorians who have no legal recourse amounts to a grave violation of human rights; (2) deportation of gang members to a society where they are likely to be killed by vigilante death squads, or in prison fires and …
Crawford And The Forfeiture By Wrongdoing Exception, Joan Comparet-Cassani
Crawford And The Forfeiture By Wrongdoing Exception, Joan Comparet-Cassani
San Diego Law Review
The doctrine of forfeiture by wrongdoing was carved out as an exception to the standard for the admissibility of testimonial hearsay evidence laid down in Crawford v. Washingtom . Since Crawford , the California Supreme Court granted review in two cases, People v. Giles and People v. Jiles , which applied the doctrine of forfeiture by wrongdoing. The forfeiture doctrine was originally formulated to require the accused commit an intentional act to prevent a witness from testifying, thus proving that the doctrine's nature is based on the equitable principle that no person shall profit from wrongful conduct. By examining the …
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (Ms4) Regulation Under The Federal Clean Water Act: The Role Of Water Quality Standards?, John H. Minan
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (Ms4) Regulation Under The Federal Clean Water Act: The Role Of Water Quality Standards?, John H. Minan
San Diego Law Review
The Clean Water Act, the primary federal statute regulating water pollution, requires municipal storm water discharge permits, under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System program, to include provisions controlling discharges from municipal separate storm sewer systems. This article questions whether the Clean Water Act's maximum extent practicable standard is the only statutory standard given the current trend toward compliance with state water quality standards independent of the maximum extent practicable standard, and whether the Clean Water Act superseded the state water quality standards. State water quality standards act as a water quality threshold, which are reviewed often by the states …
After Roper V. Simmons: Keeping Kids Out Of Adult Criminal Court, Ellen Marrus, Irene Merkel Rosenberg
After Roper V. Simmons: Keeping Kids Out Of Adult Criminal Court, Ellen Marrus, Irene Merkel Rosenberg
San Diego Law Review
When children kill, as they always have and probably always will, the state must juggle two distinct and oftentimes conflicting concerns: its police power and its parens patriae interest. These concerns are not, however, mutually exclusive. There is a delicate balance that must be maintained. Clearly, the state must incapacitate and punish children who commit serious criminal acts, but, as Simmons says, that does not mean that minors can be executed, nor, as the Authors maintain, be consigned to living death behind bars without any hope of respite. The legal system must somehow be adjusted for children.
The Unitary Waters Apprach: The Government's Misguided Attempt To Limit The Reach Of The Clean Water Act, Brad W. Blank
The Unitary Waters Apprach: The Government's Misguided Attempt To Limit The Reach Of The Clean Water Act, Brad W. Blank
San Diego Law Review
This Comment will, first, determine whether the government's unitary waters approach is a viable interpretation of the SWA. Second, it will explore what characteristics should be considered to determine whether two water bodies are"meaningfully distinct." Finally, this Comment will explore the possible consequences of applying the NPDES program to water transfers between two water bodies.
The Comparative Catalyst: Reforming Graham V. Daimlerchrysler, Kevin Logan
The Comparative Catalyst: Reforming Graham V. Daimlerchrysler, Kevin Logan
San Diego Law Review
This Casenote examines the California Supreme Court's decision in Graham v. DaimlerChrysler concluding that the adoption of a stricter definition of "public interest" litigation and a comparative catalyst rule will serve to stem the flood of unproductive lawsuits in the high court's ill-conceived decision will otherwise unleash.

Evaluating Marriage: Does Marriage Matter To The Nurturing Of Children?, Robin Fretwell Wilson
Evaluating Marriage: Does Marriage Matter To The Nurturing Of Children?, Robin Fretwell Wilson
San Diego Law Review
The state offers marriage legal and financial support. This article questions whether the state is justified in supporting and promoting marriage by looking at recent studies that found that marriage produces differences in investment and well-being for children in marital households compared to other children. These studies isolated the value of marriage and identified the connection, if any, between supporting marriage and supporting children. The Manning and Lamb study evaluated outcomes for children in non-marital households, whereas, the Hoefferth and Anderson study examined different investments in marital and non-marital children by biological fathers. The two studies found a marriage advantage, …
The Meaning Of Marriage: State Efforts To Facilitate Friendship, Love, And Childrearing, Richard Arneson
The Meaning Of Marriage: State Efforts To Facilitate Friendship, Love, And Childrearing, Richard Arneson
San Diego Law Review
The Prioritarian Consequentialist approaches state regulation of marriage from a standpoint opposed to the Lockean Libertarian natural rights tradition. The prioritarian approach favors state regulation of marriage that induces people to make positive cost-benefit arrangements, whereas the lockean avers any coercive restriction of people's liberty. Taking a prioritarian consequentialist perspective, this article discusses the appropriate state policy regarding private relationships involving love, sex, and childrearing, and assesses the meaning of marriage and possible alterations to marriage that would lead to consequences on the quality of human life. The prioritarian consequentialist supports state policies that produce the best outcome for people's …
