The New Adventures Of The Common Law, Damien P. Horigan
The New Adventures Of The Common Law, Damien P. Horigan
Pace International Law Review Online Companion
One of the arguably unexpected legal developments during the first decade of this century has been the emergence of new common law jurisdictions in a region with a very different legal heritage – the Arabian Peninsula. These young jurisdictions have been created specifically to foster the growth of new hubs for banking and finance. This article will examine these new adventures of the common law.

A Proposal For 'Philosophical Method' In Comparative And International Law, John Martin Gillroy
A Proposal For 'Philosophical Method' In Comparative And International Law, John Martin Gillroy
Pace International Law Review Online Companion
A basic challenge of contemporary thought is to better understand the origin, persistence, and future course of international/ comparative law. I suggest that a foundational step is to begin treating the law as a philosophical matter. I propose that comparative and international legal theory require a distinct methodology that is as integrated and systematic as positivism, but which better recognizes the dialectic interdependence of normative and empirical and the metaphysical interdependence of theory and practice. Philosophical Method, as systematized by R.G. Collingwood, promotes the dialectic over the eristic, looks for overlap rather than definitive scientific classification, argues for comprehensive philosophy …
China's Implementation Of The Un Sales Convention Through Arbitral Tribunals, Mark R. Shulman
China's Implementation Of The Un Sales Convention Through Arbitral Tribunals, Mark R. Shulman
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
This article examines implementation of the international sales law by arbitral tribunals in China. The leading Chinese arbitral tribunal -- CIETAC -- has recently released the full-text decisions issued in over 300 disputes involving international trade. Upon a careful examination of this decisions involving non-conformity of goods, the authors conclude that the decisions generally convey objective, non-biased jurisprudence (notwithstanding some caveats about the completeness of the available record). They go on to conclude that the ability to rely on a fairly predictable tribunal has been good for the development not only of China's trade-based economy but also for its more …
Public And Private Sector Legal Process Outsourcing: Moving Toward A Global Model Of Legal Expertise Deliverance, Sasha Borsand, Amar Gupta
Public And Private Sector Legal Process Outsourcing: Moving Toward A Global Model Of Legal Expertise Deliverance, Sasha Borsand, Amar Gupta
Pace International Law Review Online Companion
Legal process outsourcing (“LPO”) involves the use of foreign lawyers to conduct, perform and apply domestic law, most often for cost-saving purposes. Large, global firms have already begun to embrace the concept of LPO, and small firms and sole practitioners are increasingly reaching out to foreign firms, seeking more efficient, lower-cost providers. Ethical considerations, liability limiting agreements, ERISA compliance, certification and oversight models are all part of the LPO landscape. This paper discusses these aspects, as well as issues related to outsourcing in non-traditional areas such as the public sector and the judiciary.
To Catch An Entrapper: The Inadequacy Of The Entrapment Defense Globally And The Need To Reevaluate Our Current Legal Rubric, Paul W. Valentine
To Catch An Entrapper: The Inadequacy Of The Entrapment Defense Globally And The Need To Reevaluate Our Current Legal Rubric, Paul W. Valentine
Pace International Law Review Online Companion
It is fair to say that a majority of us have either seen or been exposed to the hit television show To Catch a Predator on NBC. To Catch a Predator is a series of hidden investigations by the television newsmagazine Dateline NBC devoted to the subject of identifying and detaining potential child sexual abusers who contact children over the internet. The show is important because those caught by the investigators oftentimes raise the entrapment defense, but to no avail. Given the emergence of internet sting operations and covert government investigations, it is now more important than ever that the …
Israel's Transboundary Water Disputes, Philip A. Baumgarten
Israel's Transboundary Water Disputes, Philip A. Baumgarten
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Student Publications
As water is necessary to the function of life, it is imperative to understand the role of water in the politically turbulent Middle East. This paper will focus on Israel’s water disputes with her neighbors and how such disputes have either led to military confrontation, have been partially resolved, and otherwise continue to exist. As populations in the region are expected to increase, the need for water, already in short supply, will be magnified. Thus negotiations to settle water disputes and provide for equitable distribution of the water resources will become more contentious. This legal analysis of Israel’s water disputes …

Nepa At 40: International Dimensions, Nicholas A. Robinson
Nepa At 40: International Dimensions, Nicholas A. Robinson
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
Section 102 of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) contains a broad mandate to apply the policies of § 101 on an international plane. I explored these concepts initially on assignment as a member of the Legal Advisory Committee to the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) in 1969-1971, and published the analysis in 1974, after that Committee wound up its business. It is time for the CEQ to revisit the rest of § 102, and elaborate guidance and regulations for federal agencies to comply with and use the environmental management mandates in § 102(A), (B), (E), (F), (G), and (H).

Complementarity In Crisis: Uganda, Alternative Justice, And The International Criminal Court, Alexander K.A. Greenawalt
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
In this Article, I take up a focused analysis of the Uganda prosecutions, considering both the interpretive dilemmas facing the Court and the efforts of Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo to address them. Part I provides a summary of events leading to the LRA arrest warrants and the recent peace negotiations. Part II turns to the text of the Rome Statute, with a focus on Article 19's framework for complementary jurisdiction and the Article 53 dictate that “interests of justice” may trump the admissibility of investigations and cases that otherwise meet all relevant statutory criteria. Although the ICC is structured to give …
