Criminalizing The Sexual Transmission Of Hiv: An International Analysis, Thomas W. Tierney

How Does Europe Regulate Powers Within Its Corporations? What Might The Answer Mean For The U.S.? An Essay And Review Of European Company Laws: A Comparative Approach, Donald C. Jr. Dowling
How Does Europe Regulate Powers Within Its Corporations? What Might The Answer Mean For The U.S.? An Essay And Review Of European Company Laws: A Comparative Approach, Donald C. Jr. Dowling
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
European Company Laws: A Comparative Approach is a compilation of ten essays by various authors on the jurisprudence of corporate control within Europe. The book focuses on the company laws within the various member states, somewhat to the exclusion of the emerging EC-level corporate laws. Yet while European Company Laws concerns itself with member states' internal company laws, the book's goal is much loftier than merely compiling the European states' corporate statutes into some sort of practitioners' guide. Rather, European Company Laws attempts to divine jurisprudential truths about the regulation of power within the European company by examining the European …

Michigan Journal of International Law

The author criticizes the approach taken by the U.S. Supreme Court and recommends the adoption of the EC standard.

This Article examines the Lok Adalat courts both theoretically and in practice.
