Cornell Law School Inter-University Graduate Student Conference Papers
The terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York on 9/11 set in motion a new era all over the world: an era of a world uniting against a common enemy, but also an era of insecurity and fear. Laws have been changed worldwide, nations have united against a common threat, legal theories and beliefs of centuries have been questioned, and civil liberties have been replaced by a need for national safety. Has this worldwide effort worked? Is our world a better place now that we are all fighting the same enemy? Did we learn from our past …

Usos E Abusos Da Função Punitiva: "Punitive Damages" E O Direito Brasileiro, Mariana Pargendler
Mariana Pargendler
Examinam o instituto dos punitive damages, o qual pode ser traduzido como “indenização punitiva”, e sua compatibilidade com o Direito brasileiro, uma vez que essa pena vem conquistando progressiva aceitação na doutrina e jurisprudência.

Perspectives On Brown: The South African Experience, Penelope Andrews
Perspectives On Brown: The South African Experience, Penelope Andrews
