A Contractual Analysis Of The Military Enlistment, Neil J. Dilloff

University of Richmond Law Review

Since July 1, 1973, this nation has had what is termed an "all-volunteer military." As a result, the primary means available for an individual to enter military service has become the enlistment contract. This article will explore whether or not this type of agreement is, in fact, a contract. We shall analyze what documents or acts are necessary to comprise this agreement between a volunteer and the United States; whether a military enlistment agreement satisfies the traditional contractual elements, such as mutual assent, consideration, and capacity to contract; what is the effect of conditions stated in the contract; and, finally, …

The Evolution Of Concession Agreements In Underdeveloped Countries And The United States National Interest, Theodore H. Moran

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Large natural resource projects in underdeveloped countries provide great benefits to United States investors, to host countries and to the United States itself. Yet concession agreements to exploit natural resources are notoriously controversial and notoriously unstable. This article will examine the United States national interest in guaranteeing equity investments in foreign natural resource development and will argue that concession agreements in large natural resource projects in the developing world go through a highly predictable evolution, reflecting changes in the relative bargaining positions of the foreign investors and the host governments. Initial agreements reflect the foreign company's quasi-monopolistic control over the …

Impossibility, Impracticability, And Supervening Illegality, James J. White

Book Chapters

The Doctrine of Impossibility, or as the Uniform Commercial Code knows it, Excuse by Failure of Presupposed Conditions, remains one of the unclimbed peaks of contract doctrine. All of the famous early and mid-twentieth century mountaineers, Corbin, Williston, Farnsworth and many lesser men have made attempts on this doctrine, but none have succeeded in climbing it to the very top. The doctrine inheres in Section 2-615 of the UCC, in Sections 454 - 469 of the Restatement of Contracts and in a series of Anglo-American cases stretching back for many years. In spite of attempts by all of the contract …

Book Reviews, Richard W. Edwards, Jr.

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Studies in International Law is a collection of articles written by Dr. Mann between 1942 and 1972. All have previously appeared except "About the Proper Law of Contracts between States," which discusses the effect of a clause in a loan agreement between Denmark and Malawi providing that the agreement "shall be governed by Danish law." The largest piece, 139 pages, in this thick volume is a reprint of Mann's edited lectures on "The Doctrine of Jurisdiction in International Law" delivered at the Hague Academy of International Law in 1964.

All the articles relate to points of contact between public international …
