The countries of Europe have entered into multilateral treaties to facilitate doing business in Europe. These treaties cover jurisdiction, enforcement of foreign judgments and choice of law.

Revive The Hague Evidence Convention, Andrew N. Vollmer Jan 1998

Revive The Hague Evidence Convention, Andrew N. Vollmer

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

This article is about the Hague Evidence Convention' and the Supreme Court's decision in Aerospatiale.2 Because Of Aerospatiale, the Hague Evidence Convention is used only rarely for party discovery in United States litigation. That is unfortunate, and my purpose here is to suggest reasons and ways to revive use of the Convention. I will first discuss several aspects of the international discovery situation before Aerospatiale.

The Exclusionary Rule In Germany, Craig M. Bradley Jan 1983

The Exclusionary Rule In Germany, Craig M. Bradley

Articles by Maurer Faculty

The exclusionary rule that the Supreme Court has fashioned to suppress evidence obtained unconstitutionally is directed at least in part toward deterring police conduct that violates constitutional norms. Since the inception of the rule, the value and efficacy of a prescript that excludes otherwise relevant and probative evidence in a factfinding proceeding has been a subject of heated debate.

American Life Expectancy Tables, And Foreigners, Rita Page Jan 1964

American Life Expectancy Tables, And Foreigners, Rita Page

Cleveland State Law Review

Therefore, the United States tables should be deemed inadmissible by the court in such cases. The court should then turn to the relevant foreign table as the only life expectancy table admissible in evidence.

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

United States. The House of Lords, in Rumping v. D.P.P., just decided, suggests that the English spousal privileges might be susceptible of similar development.
