Bargaining Or Biology? The History And Future Of Paternity Law And Parental Status, Katharine K. Baker

Katharine K. Baker

In practice, paternity rulings are remarkably unimportant. With the exception of state welfare authorities pursuing mostly impoverished biological fathers, few paternity actions are brought, few mothers want to bring them and (even with state-sponsored pursuit) very few dollars get transferred to children as a result of them. In theory, however, paternity judgments are very and perniciously important because they keep alive the biological fatherhood ideal, an ideal that has never been reflected in law or fact and that is inconsistent with the emerging law of parental rights and responsibilities. This article challenges the biological fatherhood ideal and suggests that contract, …

Apuntes Sobre El Papel De La Voluntad En Los Negocios Jurídicos (Con Especial Referencia A Los Contratos), Leysser L. Leon

Leysser L. León

En este ensayo, escrito originalmente para un concurso convocado por la Dirección de Investigación de la PUCP (2001), se propone, a la luz de la codificación civil peruana, una revaloración del papel de la voluntad en la actividad negocial de los particulares; papel que, por décadas, ha sido cuestionado, relativizado y negado por las llamadas teorías "objetivas" (declaracionismo, normativismo, preceptivismo) importadas del derecho italiano y tan ampliamente cuanto inconscientemente difundidas en la bibliografía peruana.

A Preliminary Analysis Of The Amendments To The Japanese Secured Transaction Law, Wei Zhang

Wei Zhang

The collapse of the Japanese asset price bubble in the 90's left a record amount of non-performing loans in the nation's financial system. To tackle this unprecedented crisis, both legal scholars and practitioners in Japan advocated for a series of amendments to its secured transaction law to facilitate the enforcement of mortgages by banks. In this paper, based on the state of the post-bubble real estate finance market, I discussed the major drawbacks of the existing Japanese secured transaction system as it was applied in the real estate arena. I commented on the proposed material amendments to the Japanese secured …

On The Effectiveness Of The Restrictions Governing Life In A Common Interest Community: A Comparative Study Between American And Japanese Law (Chinese Version), Wei Zhang

Wei Zhang

In this article, I made a comparative study on the laws regulating the restrictions established by developers or among property owners in common interest communities in the U.S. and Japan, as well as the cultural and social backgrounds against which they are created. It appears that similar rules exist in both countries to combat excessive restrictions on life in common interest communities, although the American law treats the ex ante restrictions somewhat differently from the ex post ones. Using a law and economics perspective, I argue that such disparate treatments make good sense given the feasibility of internalizing the effects …

Running Backs, Wolves, And Other Fatalities: How Manipulations Of Coherence In Legal Opinions Marginalize Violent Death, Jonathan Yovel

Jonathan Yovel

By examining legal cases that involve violent death and its marginalization by the courts, this essay looks into the relations between narrative coherence and narrative absurd in judicial opinions. Coherence, rather than a static, unequivocal characteristic of legal narratives, is studied here as a highly manipulable narrative and rhetorical performance. Giving a performative twist to reader-response approaches I do not really ask what is the meaning of this text (as construed by its reading)? but rather, working from the position of the text's discursive community, what does this text do? The reading of these cases explores how judicial narration and …

Marriage And The Ethics Of Office, Scott T. Fitzgibbon

Scott T. FitzGibbon

This Article alms to retrieve the neglected concept of the "office," as in "the judicial office" or "corporate officer" or the"office of deacon or lector." It aims to present a thorough account of what that term means. It inquires into the ethics of office, advancing the thesis that to hold and exercise office is a good thing, not only in the obvious instrumental ways-it serves a function and it gets results-but also as a part of the "final," non instrumental good of the officeholder and even, in some arrangements, of the recipient of the officeholder's services. Office is an aspect …

Better To Have Tried And Failed Than Never To Have Tried Mediation At All: Implications Of Mandatory Mediation In Fisher V. Ge Medical Systems, Adam Epstein

Adam Epstein

A discussion of the 2003 case, Fisher v. GE Medical Systems that helped to shape the issue of whether or not mandatory mediation clauses in employment handbooks constitute “arbitration” under the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA). Several courts in different jurisdictions have interpreted arbitration and mediation as the same, especially in circumstances involving the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

Employer's Exclusive Control Over Selection Of Arbitrators Held Invalid, Adam Epstein

Adam Epstein

Discussion of the 2003 Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals case McMullen v. Meijer, Inc. While alternative forms of dispute resolution such as arbitration and mediation are now commonplace and are effectively utilized to avoid litigation and resolve disputes between employers and employees, the procedure in the arbitration process must be fair. Upon the hire, employers often provide their employees with an employment handbook that specifically discusses procedures involving termination. Often the employee handbook, if one exists, is viewed as a contract and is often a first step in determining the proper method of dispute resolution and procedure. In this case, …
