Reforming Disability Nondiscrimination Laws: A Comparative Perspective, Stanley S. Herr
Reforming Disability Nondiscrimination Laws: A Comparative Perspective, Stanley S. Herr
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Comparing the law and policies of other countries concerning disability rights to ours can help us understand how we may strengthen those rights and heighten compliance with nondiscrimination laws. Since it took effect in 1992, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has been a leading example of such comprehensive legislation on behalf of people with disabilities. Along with the United Nations Standard Rules on Equalization of Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities, the ADA has inspired many countries to develop their own disability nondiscrimination laws and remedial agencies. This process must work in both directions, however, and laws and agencies from …

International And Comparative Law Perspectives On Internet Patents, Toshiko Takenaka
International And Comparative Law Perspectives On Internet Patents, Toshiko Takenaka
Michigan Telecommunications & Technology Law Review
The Internet and e-commerce have created a borderless market. Goods and services sold on the Internet are subject to the patent statutes and regulations of all countries in which customers have access. Because the presence or absence of patent protection--or variations in that protection--hinders the movement of goods and services throughout the Internet, it is necessary to harmonize the protection afforded by Internet patents in their early stages of development. Among the three papers, however, only Professor Chiappetta touched upon the problem of compliance with the provisions in TRIPS. None of the papers paid attention to the feasibility of harmonizing …
Tax Treatments For Distressed Bank Loans: A Comparative Study Of The United States And Japanese Legal Systems, Yo Ota
Washington International Law Journal
A number of commentators in Japan have argued that tax treatments for distressed bank loans seem to be more generous in Japan than in the United States, and that, in contrast to Japan, the United States does not allow any deduction for loan loss reserves. However, such arguments have not been based upon a careful analysis of case law and actual tax authority practices. This Article presents a comparative study of the tax treatments for distressed bank loans in the United States and Japan. It analyzes corporate income tax legislation, administrative practices and case law in the 1980s and 1990s …
Implications Of Singapore's Income And Consumption Tax Policies On International E-Commerce Transactions Of Digitized Products, Neal Harold Luna
Implications Of Singapore's Income And Consumption Tax Policies On International E-Commerce Transactions Of Digitized Products, Neal Harold Luna
Washington International Law Journal
The Internet's current architecture allows international e-commerce transactions of digitized goods to go untaxed by the country in which the income was earned or the product consumed. The inability of these countries to tax such transactions will erode their tax bases as e-commerce in digitized products grows relative to other commercial forms. To forestall the erosion of its tax base, Singapore's revenue authority boldly extends its existing consumption and income tax policies to e-commerce. Singapore's proposed e-commerce tax regime is a model from which other countries—both those with similar tax regimes, such as the E.U. member economies, and those that …
Demographic Crisis In Japan: Why Japan Might Open Its Doors To Foreign Home Health-Care Aides, Carmel A. Morgan
Demographic Crisis In Japan: Why Japan Might Open Its Doors To Foreign Home Health-Care Aides, Carmel A. Morgan
Washington International Law Journal
Japan is currently facing a two-fold demographic crisis: its birthrate is rapidly falling and its population is rapidly aging. Despite the present recession, Japan is confronting a significant shortage of workers in the health-care field. There may not be enough home health-care aides to meet the needs of all of the elderly who are eligible for visits under Japan's new long-term care insurance program. The Ministry of Justice has recently proposed allowing more foreigners to work in Japan. The proposal encourages the admission of immigrants to work as "home helpers," an occupation that is considered unskilled. This proposal marks a …
Judicial Reform And The State Of Japan's Attorney System: A Discussion Of Attorney Reform Issues And The Future Of The Judiciary, Kohei Nakabō, Yohei Suda
Judicial Reform And The State Of Japan's Attorney System: A Discussion Of Attorney Reform Issues And The Future Of The Judiciary, Kohei Nakabō, Yohei Suda
Washington International Law Journal
Based on the Judicial Reform Council's article "Points at Issue in Judicial Reform," this paper presents basic issues on the current status of the Japanese attorney system and areas to be addressed in judicial reform. [[Translator's Note] This Article formed the basis of Nakabō's report at the twelfth meeting of Judicial Reform Council held on February 8, 2000. It was originally published as the first of a two part paper in SERIES JUDICIAL REFORM I: [LEGAL PROFESSIONAL TRAINING; THE LAW SCHOOL CONCEPT] (2000).]
The Tender Offer In Korea: An Analytic Comparison Between Korea And The United States, Kwang-Rok Kim
The Tender Offer In Korea: An Analytic Comparison Between Korea And The United States, Kwang-Rok Kim
Washington International Law Journal
Even though the tender offer system in Korea was established in 1976, there were very few tender offer transactions until 1997. However, after Korea's economic crisis in late 1997, the Korean government not only took a series of structural reform measures to improve the securities market system, but also widely opened the financial markets to foreign countries by abolishing or amending restrictions on foreign investment. The 1998 reforms to the Korea Securities Exchange Act included significant changes to tender offer regulations, making hostile takeovers more feasible. Since that time, the tender offer has been used as a tool to acquire …
