Common Law Vs. Civil Law: La Competencia Entre Ordenamientos Jurídicos, Leysser L. Leon
Common Law Vs. Civil Law: La Competencia Entre Ordenamientos Jurídicos, Leysser L. Leon
Leysser L. León
La importación de modelos jurídicos estadounidenses al ordenamiento peruano, afín por tradición a la familia del derecho civil, se viene consolidando, indolentemente y casi siempre de la mano con la dependencia económica, no sólo en particulares áreas del derecho (civil, comercial, bursátil, minero, ambiental, etc.), sino en la propia enseñanza universitaria y, no menos mecánicamente, en los proyectos de códigos de ética profesional para abogados. Urge, más que nunca, una comparación jurídica crítica que subraye y prevenga de los riesgos de la globalización del derecho para los países subdesarrollados.

Reforming Federal Personal Injury Litigation By Incorporation Of The Procedural Innovations Of Scotland And Ireland: An Analysis And Proposal, Daniel H. Erskine
Daniel H. Erskine
Federal procedure has embraced the referral of civil cases outside the court system to alternative dispute resolution. This article argues that by utilizing courts to settle cases through civil procedure, courts realize their central role in ensuring the quality of settlements produced through the judicial administration of justice. The purpose of this article is to provide litigants an optional procedure to expeditiously resolve federal personal injury cases. The system proposed in this article incorporates Scottish and Irish civil procedural reforms into a coherent method for judicial officers to declare the settlement value of a personal injury action without referring the …
The Arbitrator's Jurisdiction To Determine Jurisdiction, William W. Park
The Arbitrator's Jurisdiction To Determine Jurisdiction, William W. Park
Faculty Scholarship
The disorienting effect of language finds illustration in the principle that arbitrators may rule on their own authority. Often expressed as Kompetenz-Kompetenz (literally “jurisdiction on jurisdiction”), the precept has been applied to questions such as who must arbitrate, what must be arbitrated, and which powers arbitrators may exercise. This much-vexed principle possesses a chameleon-like quality that changes color according to the national and institutional background of its application. Moreover, the basic rule that arbitrators may decide on their own jurisdiction says nothing about who (judge or arbitrator) ultimately decides a particular case. Rather, the rule states only that the question …

The paper offers a comparative overview of the law of security rights in movable property in the civil and common law worlds. To this purpose, the paper first examines black-letter provisions, case-law, scholarly doctrines, and practices on which the laws of security rights over movables are grounded. It then proceeds to investigate the cultural, socio-economic, and policy factors that, more or less overtly, have a practical impact on the operative rules applied in the jurisdictions surveyed. As the paper shows, the consideration for these ‘hidden’ factors proves indeed crucial to the understanding of the (similarities and differences between the) ways …

The Many Faces Of Equity. A Comparative Survey Of The European Civil Law Tradition, Mauro Bussani, Francesca Fiorentini

The paper investigates the meaning of, and the role played by equity in the continental European legal tradition. In this perspective, the article outlines the historical origins of the Western notion of equity in the Greek and Roman world, and examines how equity became a core instrument of law-making in the age of ius commune. Through the survey of French, German, and Italian law, the paper then clarifies the place of equity in the private law codes. In particular, this comparative analysis shows that, in spite of the wave of legal positivism affecting European legal thought in the XIXth-XXth centuries, …
