Environmental Damage Resulting From The Nato Military Action Against Yugoslavia, Aaron Schwabach

International Joint Ventures Between France And The United States, Alexis Desreumaux
International Joint Ventures Between France And The United States, Alexis Desreumaux
LLM Theses and Essays
This thesis focuses on two markets: France and the United States. Although these markets are competitive in several areas, sometimes some cooperation is needed in order to achieve a successful venture. The focus of this thesis is on two major issues. First, how can an American company, with a French partner, venture in France? And, second, how can a French company "invade" the U.S. market, with the help of a local company?

Human Rights And Wrongs In Our Own Backyard: Incorporating International Human Rights Protections Under Domestic Civil Rights Law---A Case Study Of Women In The United States Prisons, Martin A. Geer
Scholarly Works
An urgent human rights crisis at home is under close scrutiny by diverse groups including the United Nations, non-governmental organizations, the U.S. Department of Justice, and public interest lawyers.

This dire situation presents the question: Can women prisoners continue to be denied the protections of international human …

The Internet And Public International Law, John M. Rogers
The Internet And Public International Law, John M. Rogers
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
It is perhaps commonplace to observe that recent developments in information technology are revolutionizing most aspects of our lives. Anything that affects our lives so profoundly will, of necessity, have a significant effect on the law. We can expect that the information revolution will have a comparably significant impact on the international system of binding obligations often called public international law. Just what that will be is of course extremely difficult to predict. Compounding that difficulty is the lack of consensus on just what actually amounts to the public international legal system. Scholars and lawyers still debate fundamental questions regarding …
