United Kingdom And United States Responses To The Regulatory Challenges Of Modern Financial Markets, Heidi Mandanis Schooner
United Kingdom And United States Responses To The Regulatory Challenges Of Modern Financial Markets, Heidi Mandanis Schooner
Scholarly Articles
The modernization of world financial markets over the last 20 years has raised profound regulatory challenges. Our article considers whether the United States' Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (GLB) and the United Kingdom's Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA) meet those challenges. We posit that the most compelling regulatory issue is not whether the financial industry should be allowed to consolidate. Rather, we believe that the organization and practices of the regulators, i.e., the question of which agencies regulate which firms and under what set of laws, should be the focal point. We call this an issue of regulatory modernization. …

Taking Ethics Codes Seriously: Broad Ethics Provisions And Unenumerated Ethical Obligations In A Comparative Hermeneutic Framework, Samuel J. Levine
Taking Ethics Codes Seriously: Broad Ethics Provisions And Unenumerated Ethical Obligations In A Comparative Hermeneutic Framework, Samuel J. Levine
Scholarly Works
Ethics scholars have documented the increasingly legislative form of twentieth-century ethics regulations, culminating in the enactment and widespread adoption of the Model Rules of Professional Conduct. Nevertheless, pointing to the presence of broad ethics provisions, a number of leading scholars have questioned the extent to which ethics codes can accurately be conceptualized as a form of legislation. Responding to these critiques, Levine aims to take seriously both the legislative form of ethics codes and their interpretation. Toward that aim, he looks to interpretive methodologies employed in American constitutional law and Jewish law to provide both descriptive and normative models for …
Envisioning A Global Legal Culture, Charles H. Koch Jr.
Envisioning A Global Legal Culture, Charles H. Koch Jr.
Michigan Journal of International Law
To encourage all, but particularly U.S., lawyers to think about transformation of the law, this Article will envision a global legal regime. The purpose is more reflective than predictive. Nominally, the Article has three parts. The first Part offers an overview description of the emerging supranational legal institutions and the major forces moving them. The next Part will outline civil law legal concepts and provide background for common law readers. To further the goal of this Article, it will do so as it suggests some issues that will arise as the civil law system is incorporated into the global legal …

Japanese Justice System Reform In Comparative Perspective, Daniel H. Foote
Japanese Justice System Reform In Comparative Perspective, Daniel H. Foote
Articles
Over the past two years I have become so heavily involved in the justice system reform discussions - in particular the discussions regarding legal training - that it would be nearly impossible for me to address the assigned topic of reform from a detached perspective. Rather than attempt to do so, I will offer certain personal impressions of the reforms, with particular reference to legal education.

The Best Patent Practice Or Mere Compromise? A Review Of The Current Draft Of The Substantive Patent Law Treaty And A Proposal For A "First-To-Invent" Exception For Domestic Applicants, Toshiko Takenaka
Articles
Part I of this paper I review the past efforts of patent harmonization. In Part II, I review the current draft of the Substantive Patent Law Treaty (SPLT) and compare its major articles with Title 35 of the United States Code, the European Patent Convention (EPC), and Japanese Patent Law (JPL). In Part III, I analyze the changes expected by the integration of the SPLT into U.S. patent practice and examine if such changes would result in the best patent practice. I propose that the best practice takes into account underlying patent policies in such instances in which the changes …

Reflections On Russia's Revival Of Trial By Jury: History Demands That We Ask Difficult Questions Regarding Terror Trials, Procedures To Combat Terrorism, And Our Federal Sentencing Regime, Hon. John C. Coughenour
Reflections On Russia's Revival Of Trial By Jury: History Demands That We Ask Difficult Questions Regarding Terror Trials, Procedures To Combat Terrorism, And Our Federal Sentencing Regime, Hon. John C. Coughenour
Seattle University Law Review
This Article begins by discussing the nineteenth-century origins of trial by jury in Russia and the changes the system endured until the October 1917 Revolution, focusing particular attention on both the progressive exclusion of political crimes from the jurisdiction of the jury and use of alternative judicial procedures for such crimes. Next, the Article outlines the fundamental principles of the inquisitorial criminal justice system, which defined and dominated Soviet jurisprudence. Part I concludes by addressing Russia's revival of trial by jury in 1993, the specific characteristics of its new jury system, the other monumental criminal justice reforms of the 1990s, …
Foreign Judgments In American And English Courts: A Comparative Analysis, Brian Richard Paige
Foreign Judgments In American And English Courts: A Comparative Analysis, Brian Richard Paige
Seattle University Law Review
Part II of this Comment provides some background on the current American scheme of foreign judgment recognition and enforcement by comparing and contrasting its three major components American common law, the Restatement (Third) of Foreign Relations Law, and the Uniform Foreign Money-Judgments Recognition Act. Part III tracks the English scheme of foreign judgment recognition and enforcement from its common law origin to its more sophisticated and streamlined foreign judgment registration system. Finally, Part IV suggests that the United States could benefit from the implementation of federal legislation that would bring foreign judgment registration procedures to American courts and provide for …
Clicks And Mortar: Taxing Multinational Business Profits In The Digital Age, Aldo Forgione
Clicks And Mortar: Taxing Multinational Business Profits In The Digital Age, Aldo Forgione
Seattle University Law Review
This Article argues that governments should abandon the treaty concept of permanent establishment and adopt international tax reforms that restore the primacy of "market country taxation of multi-national business profits promoted by domestic tax laws. Part I explores several emerging e-commerce issues that demonstrate the tension of introducing traditional tax norms to a digital environment. Part II reviews historical and recent developments in the international taxation of business profits and looks at the underlying trends and sentiments for reform of the existing system of global taxation of business income. Part III canvasses several prominent international tax reform alternatives proposed by …
The Study Of Chinese Law In The United States: Reflections On The Past And Concerns About The Future, Stanley B. Lubman
The Study Of Chinese Law In The United States: Reflections On The Past And Concerns About The Future, Stanley B. Lubman
Hong Yen Chang Center for Chinese Legal Studies
I am pleased to write in honor of Bill Jones by reflecting here on the study of Chinese law, which has occupied us both since the early 1960s and has since grown far beyond its narrow scope at that time. In the pages that follow, I first survey the development and current state of the field by reviewing American scholarship on some major areas of Chinese law from those early days up to the present. I am also pleased to use this review as a vehicle for noting, in particular, some of Bill's contributions to our inquiries. Some related activities …
The Act Of Hungarians Living Abroad: A Misguided Approach To Minority Protection, Christin J. Albertie
The Act Of Hungarians Living Abroad: A Misguided Approach To Minority Protection, Christin J. Albertie
Michigan Journal of International Law
This Note analyzes the Hungarian Status Law in the context of general principles of international law. By specifically examining the Hungarian minority, this Note questions whether the implementation of the Hungarian Status Law is the most effective method of ensuring the protection and respect of the Hungarian minority in Eastern Europe. The conclusion argues that the unilateral approach of the Hungarian Status Law should be abandoned for a bilateral approach to secure rights for the Hungarian minority.

Multilateral Management As A Fair Solution To The Spratly Disputes, Wei Cui
Multilateral Management As A Fair Solution To The Spratly Disputes, Wei Cui
All Faculty Publications
The Spratlys are a scattered group of islands in the South China Sea over which China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Brunei have made conflicting jurisdictional claims. Although there has been significant academic discussion of this dispute, the Author argues that much of it is hampered by a discourse obsessed with the regional balance of power and security-related strategies that are only tenuously related to each nation's specific legal claims in the Spratlys. In this Article, the Author suggests that a more productive approach to the Spratly disputes is one focused on finding a solution that is fair to all …
The Disappearance Of The Ultra Vires Doctrine In Greater China: Harmonized Legislative Action Or (Simply) An Accident Of History, Lutz-Christian Wolff
The Disappearance Of The Ultra Vires Doctrine In Greater China: Harmonized Legislative Action Or (Simply) An Accident Of History, Lutz-Christian Wolff
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
In the context of company law, the term "ultra vires" is normally used to describe acts that are beyond the scope of the powers of a corporation. Rules concerning ultra vires acts of companies have changed in recent years in mainland China, Taiwan and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region ("Hong Kong"). It appears that in all of these parts of Greater China, the legal frameworks are now rather similar to each other and seem to resemble the rules that are applied in the Macau Special Administrative Region ("Macau"). This, of course, provokes questions: what are the reasons for these …

Keiken, Tayōsei, Soshite Hō [Experience, Diversity, And The Law], Daniel H. Foote
Chapters in Books
This essay was published in 2003, in Japanese, as my contribution to a tribute volume honoring Nozaki Ayako, a Ph.D. candidate at The University of Tokyo who passed away suddenly earlier that year. In an article she published in 1999, Nozaki had offered a thoughtful, perceptive critique of an article I had published four years before, dealing with the resolution of traffic accident disputes in Japan. Her article led me to reflect on the reasons for the difference in our views; and that in turn led to this essay. As indicated in the title, two key themes of this essay …
Approaches To Statutory Interpretation And Legislative History In France, Claire M. Germain
Approaches To Statutory Interpretation And Legislative History In France, Claire M. Germain
UF Law Faculty Publications
In France, Justice Jackson's question about where to look for the meaning of a statute would be phrased in broader terms and would not be limited to the question of whether to look only at the words of a statute or also at the legislative intent. French law starts from the premise that statutes and codes are the foundations of the legal system in the same way that cases are the foundation of the common-law system. Because of the primacy of written law in France, statutory interpretation lies at the heart of French law. Statutory interpretation is very flexible, and …
Business Law Reform In The United States: Thinking Too Small?, Douglas C. Michael
Business Law Reform In The United States: Thinking Too Small?, Douglas C. Michael
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
Dean Johan Henning presents the South African experience with business entity reform as one part of a coordinated whole. It included, for example, government funding for business, tax reforms, accounting and securities changes. Henning says that these reforms, though multi-faceted, had a uniform purpose: to use small business as an engine to improve the economy and to move “historically and socially disadvantaged groups” into the mainstream of the economy and the society.
These are noble goals and far reaching efforts, and a lot to ask of business entity reform. But because the South African experience was nonetheless successful by all …
