In most places at most times borrowing is the most fruitful source of legal change. The borrowing may be from within the system, by analogy - from negligence in torts to negligence in contract, for instance - or from another legal system. The act of borrowing is usually simple. To build up a theory of borrowing on the other hand, seems to be an extremely complex matter. Receptions come in all shapes and sizes: from taking over single rules to (theoretically) almost a whole system. They present an array of social phenomena that are not easily explained: from whom can …
An Explanation Of Japan's Product Liability Law, Thomas Leo Madden
An Explanation Of Japan's Product Liability Law, Thomas Leo Madden
Washington International Law Journal
Japan has been contemplating the implementation of a product liability system since 1972. After much discussion, the Product Liability Law (Law No. 85 (1994)) was finally promulgated on July 1, 1994. It came into force one year later on July 1, 1995. In Japanese the law is called Seizōbutsu Sekinin Hō. The original article explains the law's historical significance and practical impact. It is commentary in style and is meant to serve as a basic guideline to help both consumers and businesses understand their respective rights and obligations under this new law.
Suburban Sprawl Or Suburban Villages? Defining Planning Principles For New Land Development In Indonesia, Stephen Day
Suburban Sprawl Or Suburban Villages? Defining Planning Principles For New Land Development In Indonesia, Stephen Day
Washington International Law Journal
Indonesian land use regulations are increasingly designating areas where urban growth is either targeted or excluded, echoing a similar trend in other Pacific Rim nations. Yet as with growth planning in the United States, there is a near total lack of regulatory direction guiding the form or pattern of urban development within the target areas. Sprawling suburban development, essentially patterned after midcentury-style American models, is rapidly consuming the most desirable developable land. Although significant policy goals and legislation are emerging that may provide the basis for suburban land planning principles, neither the central nor provincial governments have consistently articulated such …
Why Japan's New Products Liability Law Isn't, Andrew Marcuse
Why Japan's New Products Liability Law Isn't, Andrew Marcuse
Washington International Law Journal
The statutory language of Japan's 1994 Products Liability Act envisions a strict liability regime that would replace the previous negligence-based regime. This Comment reviews the development of the previous products liability regime, then analyzes the 1994 Products Liability Act in relation to Civil Code articles 415, 570, and 709 as well as EC Directive 85/374, and the 1975 Draft Model Law on Products Liability. The Comment concludes that because the 1994 Products Liability Act incorporates the Civil Code articles and their judicial interpretations, without addressing any of several structural and procedural barriers to suit, the 1994 Products Liability Act cannot …
Legal Protection Of Trade Secrets In The People's Republic Of China, Yuan Cheng
Legal Protection Of Trade Secrets In The People's Republic Of China, Yuan Cheng
Washington International Law Journal
The increasing need for an adequate legal framework for the protection of trade secrets in the People's Republic of China led to the 1993 promulgation of the Law for Countering Unfair Competition ("LCUC"). The LCUC has removed some of the barriers to obtaining effective remedies. Under the LCUC, the injured party can rely on a legal definition of "trade secrets," sue third parties, and expect that authorities will investigate violations. Nevertheless, barriers to adequate protection for trade secrets remain. In discussing the legal framework for trade secrets protection, this Article illustrates how the ambiguity of the LCUC's relationship with other …
Continuing Economic Reform In The People's Republic Of China: Bankruptcy Legislation Leads The Way, Shirley S. Cho
Continuing Economic Reform In The People's Republic Of China: Bankruptcy Legislation Leads The Way, Shirley S. Cho
UC Law SF International Law Review
Critics view the 1986 Enterprise Bankruptcy Law (Bankruptcy Law) of the People's Republic of China as an ineffective piece of legislation passed more for symbolic ends than as a means to deal with systemic economic problems plaguing China. However, the Bankruptcy Law has proven to be one of the most pivotal pieces of legislation in modern Chinese history and has served as the main impetus for wide-reaching reform in major sectors of the Chinese economy.
This Note examines the debate surrounding the Bankruptcy Law from its inception, its controversial substantive provisions, its unsuccessful implementation, and finally its positive repercussions in …

American Wine's New Internationalism: Nafta's Impact On The U.S. Wine Industry In The Established And Emerging Markets Of Canada And Mexico, Sarah E. Richards
UC Law SF International Law Review
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) specifically addresses wine trade issues. Although these provisions constitute only a small part of the overall agreement, their inclusion reflects the important role the wine industry has assumed in the United States, and hints at the increasingly prominent role wine exports will have in future relations among North American countries.
This Note examines the special problems that arise in conjunction with the exportation of wine and other alcoholic beverages from the United States. It goes on to contend, however, that NAFTA's implementation should significantly boost U.S. wine exports to the established but heavily …
The Historical Origins Of The Alien Tort Statute: A Response To The Originalists, William S. Dodge
The Historical Origins Of The Alien Tort Statute: A Response To The Originalists, William S. Dodge
UC Law SF International Law Review
The Alien Tort Statute, 28 U.S.C. § 1350, which provides federal jurisdiction over suits by aliens for torts in violation of the law of nations, has been used repeatedly in human rights litigation since Filartiga v. Pefia-Irala, 630 F.2d 876 (2d Cir. 1980). This Article looks at the history of the Alien Tort Statute, tracing its origins to the Alien Tort Clause of the 1789 Judiciary Act and, before that, to a 1781 resolution of the Continental Congress urging States to allow damages suits to redress violations of the law of nations. This history shows that the Alien Tort Statute …
Exposure To The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act: A Guide For U.S. Companies With Activities In The People's Republic Of China To Minimize Liability, Delia Poon
UC Law SF International Law Review
The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) creates a difficult task for U.S. businesses abroad: to reconcile the customary practices of many developing countries with the U.S. legal framework, which may be incompatible with regulating behavior abroad. This Note outlines the background and the major provisions of the FCPA, and examines the difficulties U.S. entities face in the People's Republic of China in light of China's increasingly corrupt business environment. China's rampant corruption, part-planned and part-market economy, and popular joint venture arrangements for direct foreign investment create numerous FCPA pitfalls.
This Note then examines ways in which U.S. businesses can minimize …
The Freedom Of Navigation Program: A Study Of The Relationship Between Law And Politics, William J. Aceves
The Freedom Of Navigation Program: A Study Of The Relationship Between Law And Politics, William J. Aceves
UC Law SF International Law Review
The history of U.S. maritime policy evinces the inexorable relationship between law and politics. The U.S. Freedom of Navigation (FON) program provides an excellent example of this critical relationship. Established in 1979, the FON program seeks to preserve the freedoms of navigation and overflight by sending vessels and aircraft to exercise these navigational rights in areas where coastal states have sought to restrict or prohibit such transit. It combines diplomatic action with operational challenges to assert U.S. rights under international law. The FON program is based upon the principal sources of public international law: (1) customary international law and (2) …
Counsel For The Situation: The Latin Notary, A Historical And Comparative Model, Pedro A. Malavet
Counsel For The Situation: The Latin Notary, A Historical And Comparative Model, Pedro A. Malavet
UC Law SF International Law Review
Compared to the legal profession found in the United States, in Latin countries an impartial counsel who advises all parties to a transaction is located at the top of the legal hierarchy and is referred to as the Latin notary. The Latin notary is granted exclusive power to perform certain legal functions such as memorialization of transactions. The Latin notary combines the competence traditionally associated with a public official and the discretion and responsibility of a private legal professional. For these reasons, the Latin notary is quite different from notaries public in the United States. The Latin notary owes a …
Considerations In Representing Western Companies In Technology Transfers To East Asia, Jeffrey J. Blatt
Considerations In Representing Western Companies In Technology Transfers To East Asia, Jeffrey J. Blatt
UC Law SF International Law Review
The countries of East Asia have some of the fastest growing economies in the world. The region's need for high technology is evident in the semiconductor, broadcasting, electronics, and telecommunications fields. Lack of high technology infrastructure outside major metropolitan areas lends itself to foreign direct investment, joint ventures, and the procurement of high technology by Asian buyers.
This Paper addresses a number of considerations, issues, pitfalls, and concerns for structuring a successful technology transfer to East Asia, from the perspective of a potential technology transferor or vendor. Specifically, this Paper examines the effect of export controls, tax implications, the Foreign …
The Resolution Of Intellectual Property Disputes Involving East Asian Parties, George W. Coombe Jr.
The Resolution Of Intellectual Property Disputes Involving East Asian Parties, George W. Coombe Jr.
UC Law SF International Law Review
The resolution of international commercial disputes by conciliation and arbitration has gained considerable momentum throughout East Asia. A strong emphasis has been placed upon the conciliation technique and the historical, social, and cultural derivations pertaining to its use in East Asia.
This Paper examines the pragmatic consideration of software disputes and their resolution using proposed draft agreements between U.S. and Japanese parties in order to enhance appreciation of the conciliation and arbitration perspective in the context of intellectual property.
From Dictatorship To Democracy: Environmental Reform In Chile, Scott C. Lacunza
From Dictatorship To Democracy: Environmental Reform In Chile, Scott C. Lacunza
UC Law SF International Law Review
At the Summit of the Americas in December 1994, Canada, Mexico, and the United States formally invited Chile to join the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Chile was selected as the first Latin American country to receive an invitation based upon its open market system, stable democratic government, and impressive decade-long economic growth. As the first Latin American country selected to join NAFTA, Chile has been viewed as a model for other developing nations to follow. However, while Chile's economic successes have been lauded as triumphs of the free market approach, little attention has focused on the severe environmental …
The Role Of The Judiciary In India's Constitutional Democracy, Maureen Callahan Vandermay
The Role Of The Judiciary In India's Constitutional Democracy, Maureen Callahan Vandermay
UC Law SF International Law Review
During the period immediately following India's independence from British rule, the Indian framers promulgated a Constitution which was designed to take account of India's unique circumstances. The Constitution both ensured the legal and social equality of all Indians and afforded the Indian Parliament considerable power to alter the Constitution in order to take account of changed political circumstances. Inevitably, shortly after the Constitution's adoption the Parliament began employing its powers of amendment to limit the effect of those provisions designed to promote equality. The Indian Judiciary responded, however, with various efforts to safeguard the constitutionally-protected liberties from abrogation by Parliament. …
Affirming Our Common Humanity: Regulating Landmines To Protect Civilians And Children In The Developing World, Mary A. Ferrer
Affirming Our Common Humanity: Regulating Landmines To Protect Civilians And Children In The Developing World, Mary A. Ferrer
UC Law SF International Law Review
The number of antipersonnel landmines worldwide has increased dramatically in the last twenty-five years. There are an estimated 80 to 110 million landmines deployed or stockpiled in sixty-two countries around the world. This global landmine crisis has devastating effects in developing countries, where the majority of the world's landmines are laid. Despite international efforts to remove landmines, civilians in developing countries continue to be injured by landmines that were laid during wars that have long since ended. Although landmines are perceived as purely military weapons, the reality is that eighty percent of landmine casualties are civilians, not soldiers. Many of …

An Analysis Of The Nature And Impact Of Legal Complexities Facing United States Corporations Considering Investment Into The New South Africa, Philip R. Mcdougall
An Analysis Of The Nature And Impact Of Legal Complexities Facing United States Corporations Considering Investment Into The New South Africa, Philip R. Mcdougall
LLM Theses and Essays
Due to sanctions imposed against South Africa’s Apartheid government, the South African economy suffered as little international investment was made in the country. With these sanctions lifted following the democratic elections of 1994, South Africa is now an alluring country for international investment. Despite this attractiveness, U.S. corporations face many legal concerns before entering the South African economy. An analysis of these issues is made in the context of American and South African law with solutions proposed in an effort to avoid deterring foreign investment. These concerns include political and non-economic risks that often hinder investment in the African continent, …
The Duties And The Powers Of The Chapter 7 Trustee In Bankruptcy In The United States And In Belgium, Chantal J. De Nauw
The Duties And The Powers Of The Chapter 7 Trustee In Bankruptcy In The United States And In Belgium, Chantal J. De Nauw
LLM Theses and Essays
U.S. bankruptcy law offers a wide range of protections to a variety of debtors. The possibility of liquidation, reorganization, or rehabilitation is available to corporations, partnerships, individuals, and even some government institutions in the U.S. Conversely, the accessibility to bankruptcy in Belgium is restricted. In Belgium, only a salesman, as defined in the Belgian Code of Commerce, has access to bankruptcy protection, and this access is restricted in nature only to liquidation. This thesis analyzes the differences in the bankruptcy systems of the U.S. and Belgium, paying special attention to the role of the bankruptcy trustee in Chapter 7 bankruptcy …
