Respective Roles Of Senate And President In The Making And Abrogation Of Treaties—The Original Intent Of The Framers Of The Constitution Historically Examined, Arthur Bestor

Washington Law Review

The first part of the present article examines the specific question of the placement in the constitutional system of the power to terminate a treaty originally ratified by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, two-thirds of the members present concurring. The power of terminating a treaty is, of course, only a particular segment or subdivision of the far more inclusive power of determining the foreign policy of the Nation. Accordingly, after considering the evidence bearing directly upon the narrow question of treaty abrogation, the present article turns to the larger question of the relationship the framers intended …

The International Court Of Justice At Its Present Stage Of Development, Hermann Mosler

Dalhousie Law Journal

The object of this study is not to give an outline on the role and function of the International Court of Justice in general but to evaluate its present situation. This is quite a different subject although for this purpose it will be indispensable to compare achievement reached by the Court with the role assigned to it at the time of its foundation as part of the basic structure of the United Nations, the legal organization of the international community. Reminding at the very beginning, of deficiencies actually existing, I do not want to intimate that the problems with which …

Compensation And Reward For Saving Life At Sea, Steven F. Friedell

Michigan Law Review

This Article explores the life salvage rules under the general maritime law and under the 1912 life salvage statute. Surprisingly, some life salvors had greater rights under the general maritime law than they have under cases construing the statute. This Article suggests that courts have given insufficient attention to the purposes of the Brussels Salvage Convention of 1910, which inspired the 1912 statute, and that American courts should .remain free to recognize all rights that life salvors possessed before the Brussels Convention.

This Article then considers whether American courts should further expand the rights of life salvors by awarding life …

The Extraterritorial Reach Of The Federal Securities Code: An Analysis Of Section 1905, John M. Liftin

Vanderbilt Law Review

Section 1905 of the proposed Federal Securities Code' sets forth the applicability of the Code to transnational securities transactions. The drafters could have stated in each provision of the Code whether and to what extent it was to apply extraterritorially. Instead, they placed in one section a set of general principles that cuts across all other sections of the Code and indicates which sections are to have extraterritorial application. The result is a descriptive guide that relies on a classification of transactions rather than a section-by-section enumeration...

This Article will not analyze the existing cases, except to the extent they …

Computer Technology Trade Secrets: Protection In An International Setting, Victor Rowley

UC Law SF International Law Review

If a Japanese computer manufacturer induces a California competitor's former employee to disclose trade secrets in violation of a postemployment agreement, then a California corporation has substantive and jurisdictional grounds on which to build a case not only against the ex-employee but also against the Japanese manufacturer. Particularly involved on the issue of jurisdiction over the alien defendant is a 1977 New Hampshire District Court case that parallels this situation, Centronics Data Computer Corporation v. Mannesmann.
