Colonial Encounters In Modern [International] Law, Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
Colonial Encounters In Modern [International] Law, Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
This is an unpublished work in which I am still working. It argues how the idea of exception in modern law is the place where colonialism is still deploying a particular dynamic naming the 'other' as someone who must be dehumanized and eliminated. Comments are welcome in the email address provided in the text.
Hallowed Ground: The Gettysburg Battlefield In Historic Preservation Law, Peter Byrne
Hallowed Ground: The Gettysburg Battlefield In Historic Preservation Law, Peter Byrne
Peter Byrne
This article seeks to deepen legal analysis of historic preservation law by analyzing how contemporary presuppositions and legal tools shape changing preservation approaches. It is organized around legal disputes concerning the Gettysburg battlefield, a site of great national significance, which has been preserved in different forms for nearly 150 years. The paper describes the history of preservation at Gettysburg. It argues that the Supreme Court’s constitutional approval of federal acquisition of battlefield land in 1896 reflected contemporary conservative nationalism. It also analyzes how legal tools for preservation of land surrounding the battlefield have evolved from simple ownership to coordinated regulation …
The Internationalization Of The American Journal Of International Law: Reality Or Chimera? - A Survey, Christos A. Ravanides
The Internationalization Of The American Journal Of International Law: Reality Or Chimera? - A Survey, Christos A. Ravanides
Christos A. Ravanides
In 2006, the American Society of International Law ("ASIL") celebrated its centennial anniversary. In 2007, it is the turn of the Society’s flagship publication, the American Journal of International Law ("AJIL"), to celebrate the centennial year since its inception in 1907. This first-of-its-kind detailed survey dissects the Journal’s “international” attribute: how truly “international” and how “American” has this prestigious publication proved in the course of a century? How accommodating a host has it been to international lawyers with no U.S. affiliation or with “deviating” views on international law? The research has been multi-fold; we examine the content, the structure and …
The Multiracial Epiphany, Kevin Noble Maillard
The Multiracial Epiphany, Kevin Noble Maillard
Kevin Noble Maillard
The year 1967 becomes the temporal landmark for the beginning of an interracial nation. That year, the United States Supreme Court ruled state antimiscegenation laws unconstitutional in Loving v Virginia. In addition to outlawing interracial marriage, these restrictive laws had created a presumption of illegitimacy for historical claims of racial intermixture. Not all states had antimiscegenation laws, but the sting of restriction extended to other states to forge a collective forgetting of mixed race. Defenders of racial purity could depend on these laws to render interracial relationships illegitimate. Looking back to Loving as the official birth of Multiracial America reinforces …
The New Face Of Women's Legal History: An Introduction To The Symposium, Tracy A. Thomas
The New Face Of Women's Legal History: An Introduction To The Symposium, Tracy A. Thomas
Tracy A. Thomas
Women’s legal history is developing as a new and exciting field that provides alternative perspectives on legal issues both past and present. Feminist legal history seeks to examine the ways in which law historically has informed women’s rights and how feminist discourse has shaped the law. This short essay quickly traces the development of women's legal history as a field, and then introduces the papers from a symposium at the University of Akron School of Law. The Akron Constitutional Law Center oranized a conference in October 2007 entitled “The New Face of Women’s Legal History” to showcase many of the …
Belonging And Empowerment: A New "Civil Rights" Paradigm Based On Lessons From The Past, Rebecca Zietlow
Belonging And Empowerment: A New "Civil Rights" Paradigm Based On Lessons From The Past, Rebecca Zietlow
Rebecca E Zietlow
Despite the advances that African Americans have made in our country as a result of the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, poverty stubbornly persists in communities of color throughout our country. Our current civil rights paradigm, which is rooted in the Equal Protection Clause, and prohibits intentional state discrimination on the basis of immutable characteristics, simply is not working. This article suggests an alternative approach, one based not solely in equality norms but in facilitating the belonging of outsiders in our society. The subordination of people of color in our society has never been just about race. Rather, racism …

Politizando La Inter-Relación Entre Derecho E Historia, Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
Politizando La Inter-Relación Entre Derecho E Historia, Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
Jorge Gonzalez-Jacome
Hablar de interdisciplinariedad nos arroja a preguntas sobre la propia disciplina jurídica lo cual puede llevarnos a cuestionamientos internos sobre cuáles son nuestras esencias disciplinares mostrando que, por regla general, la investigación en derecho se debe ocupar solamente de algunas cuestiones y no de otras que hacen parte de otras disciplinas. Ello podría llevar a que nos enfrascáramos en una discusión sobre nuestro objeto de estudio que si bien no considero acabada, sí creo que no puede ser pensada en abstracto o solamente desde las esencias de la disciplina. Parto de la idea de la imposibilidad de pensar los problemas …
Problematic And Unnecessary? Issues With The Use Of The Theft Offence To Protect Intangible Property, Alex Steel
Problematic And Unnecessary? Issues With The Use Of The Theft Offence To Protect Intangible Property, Alex Steel
Alex Steel
This article questions whether misuse of intangible property should fall within the scope of theft — an issue on which Australian jurisdictions are currently divided. It provides an overview of the traditional limitation of larceny to moveable property and some of the difficult issues of interpretation of the modern theft offence that are related to the inclusion of intangible property. It then examines in detail a number of forms of intangible property to see if any of them are capable of forming the basis of a theft charge. The conclusion made is that intangible property is either unable to form …
The Institutional Dynamics Of Early Modern Eurasian Trade: The Commenda And The Corporation, Ron Harris
The Institutional Dynamics Of Early Modern Eurasian Trade: The Commenda And The Corporation, Ron Harris
Ron Harris
The focus of this article is on legal-economic institutions that organized early-modern Eurasian trade. It identifies two such institutions that had divergent dispersion patterns, the corporation and the commenda. The corporation ended up as a uniquely European institution that did not migrate until the era of European colonization. The commenda that originated in Arabia migrated all the way to Western Europe and to China. The article explains their divergent dispersion based on differences in their institutional and geographical environments and on dynamic factors. It claims that institutional analysis errs when it ignores migration of institutions. It provides building blocks for …
Unprofitable Lending: Modern Credit Regulation And The Lost Theory Of Usury, Brian M. Mccall
Unprofitable Lending: Modern Credit Regulation And The Lost Theory Of Usury, Brian M. Mccall
Brian M McCall
With almost daily news stories about the crisis in our credit markets, it seems inevitable that a new political and academic debate about credit regulation is commencing. With Americans paying billions of dollars in finance charges every year and some loosing their homes, it is time to ask fundamental questions about the liberality of credit supply and terms. Rather than readjusting usury limits or tinkering with disclosure requirements, it is time to reassess America’s philosophy of lending. Although the current socio-economic belief that more credit is better has held dominance for several centuries, history offers an alternative theory. Surprisingly, a …

In Good Times And In Debt: The Evolution Of Marital Agency And The Meaning Of Marriage, Marie T. Reilly
In Good Times And In Debt: The Evolution Of Marital Agency And The Meaning Of Marriage, Marie T. Reilly
Marie T. Reilly
A married person sometimes acts solely for herself and at other times on behalf of her spouse. If she incurs debt solely for herself, then only she is liable to the creditor. If, however, she incurs debt both for herself and on behalf of her spouse, both are liable – the debtor directly and the spouse indirectly by imputed liability. Before married women’s property reform, imputed marital liability followed from marital status. As marriage changed to recognize the legal individuality of both spouses, so too did the scope of a spouse’s imputed liability for the debts of the other spouse. …
