What Is Civil Justice, Jason M. Solomon
What Is Civil Justice, Jason M. Solomon
Faculty Publications
This Article first explores the meaning of the term “civil justice” as it is used in both academic and popular discourse. It then examines the idea of civil justice by looking at three key examples: (1) the U.S. tort system (specifically governing auto accidents); (2) the no-fault regimes of New Zealand, U.S. workers’ compensation, and the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund; and (3) the phenomenon of apologies, instead of compensation, as remedies in medical malpractice cases. The Article concludes that an important component of civil justice is the ability of a person to hold accountable one who has wronged her.
The State-In-Society Approach To Democratization With Examples From Japan, Mary Alice Haddad
The State-In-Society Approach To Democratization With Examples From Japan, Mary Alice Haddad
Mary Alice Haddad
How does an undemocratic country create democratic institutions and transform its polity in such a way that democratic values and practices become integral parts of its political culture? This article uses the case of Japan to advocate for a new theoretical approach to the study of democratization. In particular, it examines how theoretical models based on the European and North American experiences have difficulty explaining the process of democratization in Japan, and argues that a state-in-society approach is better suited to explaining the democratization process diverse cultural contexts. Taking a bottom-up view of recent developments in Japanese civil society through …

Internet Publications And Defamation: Why The Single Publication Rule Should Not Apply, Odelia Braun
Internet Publications And Defamation: Why The Single Publication Rule Should Not Apply, Odelia Braun
Golden Gate University Law Review
This vast use of the Internet changes the scope of harm associated with defamation. Communications on the Internet are more pervasive than print. For this reason, they have tremendous power to damage a person's reputation. Once a message enters cyberspace, millions of people worldwide can gain access to it. Any posted message or report can be republished by printing, or more commonly, by forwarding it instantly to a different location, leading to potentially endless replication. The power to defame others over the Internet is extraordinary.

Part II discusses the need for legislative reform by examining policy arguments supporting open records.

Beyond The Dalkon Shield: Proving Causation Against Iud Manufacturers For Pid Related Injury, Leslie Ellen Tick

A Cause Of Action For "Wrongful Life" In California: Breech Birth Or Abortion?, Daniel Linchey
A Cause Of Action For "Wrongful Life" In California: Breech Birth Or Abortion?, Daniel Linchey
Golden Gate University Law Review
Medical advances during the last fifteen years in the fields of genetic testing and prenatal diagnosis of fetal defects have created a new plaintiff. This plaintiff's cause of action, termed "wrongful life," alleges that the defendant's negligence caused her birth and thereby made manifest the pain and suffering of her genetic defects.
After tracing the history of the major wrongful life cases in this country, this Note will assess the conflict between Turpin and Curlender and show why Curlender's unique reasoning conforms to modern tort law and compels recognition of a child's cause of action for wrongful life.

A Obrigação De Reparar Por Danos Resultantes Da Liberação Do Fornecimento E Da Comercialização De Medicamentos, Lucas Abreu Barroso, Pablo Malheiros Da Cunha Frota
Lucas Abreu Barroso
This study expresses a commentary on the paradigmatic Law 12,190/2010. In this law the State once again acknowledges its responsibility in relation to the Thalidomide Syndrome. Besides the social security pension of former times, this time it stipulates compensation for moral damage. However, from in a critical perspective, the obligation to pay damages would be more extensive than the exclusive satisfaction of the victims.

Consideraciones En Torno De La Indignidad Para Suceder. Una Lectura Civil Del Caso "Espino Vásquez", Leysser L. Leon
Leysser L. León
El análisis histórico-comparativo de una antigua institución del derecho de sucesiones (la indignidad para suceder) muestra su utilidad para dilucidar dos cuestiones decisivas en el sonado caso del asesinato de la abogada Vásquez Marín (por el que se investiga a su hija, Elizabeth Espino Vásquez): (1) que no se requiere una condena penal para que proceda la declaración de indignidad; y (2) que sentencia de declaración de indignidad no es constitutiva de derechos.

The New African Law: Beyond The Difference Between Common Law And Civil Law, Salvatore Mancuso
Annual Survey of International & Comparative Law
The current investments into African countries are limited as a result of the judicial and juridical insecurity. As such, there is a strong need to rebuild the respective legal systems in order to enhance investors' reliance and to further attract foreign investment. The idea of the unification of African laws has been considered as the only solution to eliminate obstacles to development amounting from the judicial differences among the varying African nations. Such a change would give the countries joining the process of regional integration the opportunity to assert their interests in a stronger and more confident manner within the …
