Compulsion Over Comity: The United States' Assault On Foreign Bank Secrecy, C. Todd Jones
Compulsion Over Comity: The United States' Assault On Foreign Bank Secrecy, C. Todd Jones
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
Because of their physical proximities and tory secrecy laws, many nations have become bank secrecy havens, providing financial services and anonymity to people and business enterprises, both legitimate and illegitimate. In response, U.S. courts have systematically circumvented almost any challenge to the authority of our prosecutors and judicial procedures presented by nations that respect and uphold financial privacy. Unfortunately, efforts by other branches of the United States government to ease the friction created by the courts have proved to be only moderately effective and remain essentially unrecognized by the judiciary.

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
Successorship questions arise in many areas of corporate law when one business entity takes over another business entity. In labor law, successorship issues can arise whenever one business entity takes over another business entity which has employees that are collectively organized. Similar successorship issues in labor law exist in both the United States and Canada. However, both the determination of successor status and the consequences of this determination differ in the United States and Canada. In addition, differences exist within the various Canadian provinces and federal territories. This comment will explore and analyze these differences.
How Does Europe Regulate Powers Within Its Corporations? What Might The Answer Mean For The U.S.? An Essay And Review Of European Company Laws: A Comparative Approach, Donald C. Jr. Dowling
How Does Europe Regulate Powers Within Its Corporations? What Might The Answer Mean For The U.S.? An Essay And Review Of European Company Laws: A Comparative Approach, Donald C. Jr. Dowling
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
European Company Laws: A Comparative Approach is a compilation of ten essays by various authors on the jurisprudence of corporate control within Europe. The book focuses on the company laws within the various member states, somewhat to the exclusion of the emerging EC-level corporate laws. Yet while European Company Laws concerns itself with member states' internal company laws, the book's goal is much loftier than merely compiling the European states' corporate statutes into some sort of practitioners' guide. Rather, European Company Laws attempts to divine jurisprudential truths about the regulation of power within the European company by examining the European …
