The New Logic Of Affirmative Action, Charles W. Collier

UF Law Faculty Publications

Is affirmative action inherently preferential, discriminatory, and thus inconsistent with the Constitution's guarantee of equal protection? This question is basic to the legal discussion of affirmative action, and yet it seems to me that it has not been adequately addressed, much less analyzed. Clearly, there is no shortage of individual abuses and misuses in the name of “affirmative action,” and these have been amply documented elsewhere. My primary concern is with what might be termed the “logic” of affirmative action.

Am I My Partner's Keeper? Peer Review In Law Firms, Susan Saab Fortney

Faculty Scholarship

This article explores the concept of peer review in the practice of law. The article begins with an introduction to law partners’ liability exposure for the acts or omissions of their law partners. The article explains how this exposure has traditionally been approached as vicarious liability and how the government is attempting to transform these issues into direct liability by using failure to monitor claims. Part I briefly reviews perspectives on the emergence, growth, and structure of law firms, then uses a matrix to show how firm culture and organizational structure affect internal and external controls on attorney conduct. Part …

Of Legal History, Jurisprudence And Insanity – “Wrong Or Contrary To Law" In Section 84 Of The Penal Code Re-Considered, Andrew B.L. Phang

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

This article considers, from the perspectives of legal history and jurisprudence, longstanding controversy surrounding the interpretation of the phrase "wrong or contra to law" in section 84 of the Penal Code, and suggests that the evidence points to interpretation that "wrong" means "legally wrong" or "contrary to law". It also consid the practical implications that follow from such an interpretation, which implicatio would allow for some role, nevertheless, for extral

Reflections On Regional Human Rights Law, Gabriel M. Wilner

Scholarly Works

The principal purpose of the Colloquium, as can be seen from the great attention given to the papers presented by the second panel, was to discuss the uses of customary international human rights law in the defense of human rights before national courts. More generally, these discussions focused on the effectiveness of customary international human rights rules in influencing legislative and policy-making, administrative decisions and, particularly, judicial adjudication, at international and national levels. The initial and wider question of the feasibility of using custom as a source of human rights rules formed the underlying aspects of the debates in the …

Sources Of International Law, Louis B. Sohn

Scholarly Works

To summarize, States can agree on international law begin made in any way they wish. Once they agree on a method, the matter is over. As I have pointed out, every few y ears we invent a new method; there is no end to ingenuity of human beings. by the year 2000, there might be one or two more methods. We are still applying the 19th century rule that international law is made by the community of states, but in every generation the community has been able to invent new methods for crystallizing international law. We finally have accepted the …

Application Of International Water Law To Transboundary Groundwater Resources, And The Slovak-Hungarian Dispute Over Gabcikovo-Nagymaros, Gabriel Eckstein

Faculty Scholarship

The growth in global population and economic development has resulted in tremendous pressures on existing sources of fresh water. Human water use over the past three centuries increased by a factor of thirty-five and is growing by four to eight percent annually. Coupled with recurring international disputes over water resources, poor water management, and the realization that water is an indispensable but finite resource, these trends have propelled the use and management of transboundary groundwater resources to the forefront of legal debate.

Until recently, matters relating to groundwater resources were relatively ignored in the context of international law applicable to …

Bringing Small Business Development To Urban Neighborhoods, Robert E. Suggs

Faculty Scholarship

This article describes a race-neutral policy proposal designed to increase business formation and success rates for young urban African Americans. The proposal suggests using local governments' taxing authority, in a manner analogous to tax increment financing, to create financial incentives for successful small business owners to employ, and then mentor and train as business owners, young urban entrepreneurs from deteriorating neighborhoods. The amount of financial incentive varies directly with financial success of protégés and requires the transfer of some of the mentor’s social (reputational) capital to the protégé. Business activity has created wealth and economic mobility for other ethnic groups, …
