Police Processes And Human Rights:An Indian Criminal Procedure Analysis, Abhishek Bharti
Police Processes And Human Rights:An Indian Criminal Procedure Analysis, Abhishek Bharti
Abhishek Bharti
Across the world there is a revamping of institutions of Government in the light of the well–recognized human rights standards. Human Rights are inherent in a person by virtue of his/her being a human. They comprise both civil and political rights as well as economic, social and cultural rights. Criminal justice as a vital institution is also reoriented in the same spirit. However, there are problems of human rights violations by criminal justice agencies. Thus, the operational styles of the public institutions should be geared to respond to the needs of the good governance and that is assured by the …
Why Should Lawyers Care About Institutional Data On Courts?, Maxwell L. Stearns
Why Should Lawyers Care About Institutional Data On Courts?, Maxwell L. Stearns
Maxwell L. Stearns
In the “U.S. Supreme Court Judicial Data Base: providing new insights into the Courts,” Professors Harold Spaeth and Jeffrey Segal provide a brief and valuable overview of the two Supreme Court databases, with a particular focus on how those databases might be of use to those with professional legal training, namely law professors, lawyers, and perhaps also judges. In this comment, I will describe what I consider to be the limitations, and uses, of such data for those of us trained in law, and who most likely will lack the rigorous social science background familiar to most present users of …

Efficiency In Registration Systems: A Comparative Study, Celia Martinez-Escribano
Celia Martinez-Escribano
Real estate transactions require an accurate knowledge of the legal situation of the land. However, it is impossible to know it just by the physical examination of property. It is necessary to establish a mechanism of disclosure of property rights, and for this reason, every country has set up its own system and provides the desired information in a different way. Not all systems work in the same way nor achieve the same results. Traditionally, these systems have been classified in Europe as title registration and register of deeds. The last one exists in United States too, but has been …
The Concept Of Renvoi In The Conflict Of Laws, Abhishek Bharti
The Concept Of Renvoi In The Conflict Of Laws, Abhishek Bharti
Abhishek Bharti
Being one of the most theoretically challenging concepts in private international law, generations of conflict-of-laws scholars have debated the question and concept of Renvoi. It is the instant topic under study in the due course of the research paper.In precise terms, when the choice of law process points a forum court to another jurisdiction's law, the question that arises is: how much of that other jurisdiction’s laws should apply? Does the reference to the other law include that jurisdiction's choice of law principles, or, alternatively, does it include only the jurisdiction's "internal law" principles? If the reference includes both internal …

Hedging Bets On Employees' Futures: Is Investing Pension Fund Assets In Hedge Funds A Breach Of Fiduciary Duty?, Maureen Whalen
Hedging Bets On Employees' Futures: Is Investing Pension Fund Assets In Hedge Funds A Breach Of Fiduciary Duty?, Maureen Whalen
Maureen McGreevy
Despite the fact that hedge funds remain an enigma to the majority of the country, more and more Americans are investing in them each year. Many of these new investments are direct investments in hedge funds made by wealthy investors who have enough assets to meet the minimum investment requirements set by funds. Increasingly, however, many others who do not meet these requirements are investing in funds nonetheless through various forms of indirect investments. Some of these indirect investments are made intentionally by investors who actively seek out the chance to participate in hedge funds, such as, for example, by …

All Faculty Scholarship
This comment responds to an essay by Jeffrie Murphy, which powerfully notes the limitations and dangers of using remorse and apology as metrics for punishment. But the state is more justified in teaching lessons than Murphy suggests, and retributivism ought to make more room for victim vindication and satisfaction. Gauging sincerity, while difficult, is not impossible. In the end, Murphy offers strong reasons to be cautious. But a humane society ought to be more willing to take chances and, having punished, to forgive. The essay by Jeffrie Murphy to which this comment responds, as well as other authors' comments on …
A Question Of Character, Susan Harris Rimmer
A Question Of Character, Susan Harris Rimmer
Susan Harris Rimmer
IN 500BC, Heraclitus of Ephesus wrote that "a man's character is his destiny". Philosophers have been puzzling over the role that character plays in a person's life ever since, and wondering how to define the inherent complex of attributes that may determine a person's moral and ethical actions and reactions. Nevertheless, like many complex human phenomena, character has long been codified and defined by law. A character test is traditionally applied to decide whether a person should be granted some kind of privilege - for example, a visa, citizenship, or an important job. When trying to judge character, the evidence …
Is That All There Is? "The Problem" In Court-Oriented Mediation, Leonard L. Riskin, Nancy A. Welsh
Is That All There Is? "The Problem" In Court-Oriented Mediation, Leonard L. Riskin, Nancy A. Welsh
Faculty Scholarship
The alternative process of mediation is now well-institutionalized and widely (though not universally) perceived to save time and money and satisfy lawyers and parties. However, the process has failed to meet important aspirations of its early proponents and certain expectations and needs of one-shot players. In particular, court-oriented mediation now reflects the dominance and preferences of lawyers and insurance claims adjusters. These repeat players understand the problem to be addressed in personal injury, employment, contract, medical malpractice and other ordinary civil non-family disputes as a matter of merits assessment and litigation risk analysis. Mediation is structured so that litigation issues …

In The Name Of Efficiency, Scott Shackelford

India, the most populous and diverse democracy in the world, has a legal system to match. This system, a composition of ancient Hindi panchayats (village assemblies), Islamic law, and a formal British judiciary, has long been under immense strain, stifling economic competiveness and the pursuit of justice alike. As Lord Delvin famously quipped “If our business methods were as antiquated as our legal methods we should be a bankrupt country.” There are currently nearly 25 million cases pending in Indian courts, some of which have been appealed and argued for more than 20 years. Meanwhile, India spends only .2 percent …
Tierras Sin Dueños: The Effect Of Cuba’S Foreign Investment Scheme On United States’ Certified Property Claims, Megan Elizabeth Haas
Tierras Sin Dueños: The Effect Of Cuba’S Foreign Investment Scheme On United States’ Certified Property Claims, Megan Elizabeth Haas
Megan E Haas
This comment seeks to analyze the current trend in foreign investment in Cuba and its effects on the potential settlement of U.S. certified property claims. Furthermore, this article will present a unique alternative for settling the property claims that will benefit both Cuba and U.S. commercial interests. The current state of foreign investment in Cuba presents a catch-22 for investors because the property system is so encumbered as to make it unattractive to invest in Cuba, although some companies are beginning to see the benefits and reap the rewards. As a result of recent political changes on the island, the …

The Track Record On Takings Legislation: Lessons From Democracy's Laboratories, John D. Echeverria, Thekla Hansen-Young
The Track Record On Takings Legislation: Lessons From Democracy's Laboratories, John D. Echeverria, Thekla Hansen-Young
Georgetown Environmental Law & Policy Institute Papers & Reports
This report by the Georgetown Environmental Law & Policy Institute, entitled "The Track Record on Takings Legislation: Lessons from Democracy's Laboratories," examines the experiences of Florida, Oregon, and several other states with legislation implementing the property rights agenda. The report is the first comprehensive effort to systematically identify and evaluate the on-the-ground consequences of so-called takings "compensation" laws. The major findings of the report are that the takings agenda has undermined community protections by forcing a roll back of existing legal rules and/or by exerting a chilling effect on new legislative activity, special interests such as developers and timber companies …
