Cross-Border Aspects Of Litigating In Europe Civil Claims Arising Out Of The Cyprus Problem: Thoughts On The Orams Case (In Greek), Nikitas E. Hatzimihail
Cross-Border Aspects Of Litigating In Europe Civil Claims Arising Out Of The Cyprus Problem: Thoughts On The Orams Case (In Greek), Nikitas E. Hatzimihail
Nikitas E Hatzimihail
The European Court of Justice ruling in the Orams v. Apostolides case has served as a landmark in the legal history of the Cyprus problem. It is also of some importance to the evolution of European litigation and the free movement of civil judgments across the EU. This article gives a full story of the case, from its beginnings in the courts of Cyprus to its aftermath in the English Court of Appeals. Its principal argument is that the case should be seen through a triple lens: property rights of the displaced Greek Cypriots, private litigation of public claims and …

Funcionários Públicos E Preconceitos Privados, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
Açoitado pela crise, o País está crispado, e aponta o dedo a bodes expiatórios. Os verdadeiros culpados pela crise são porém fáceis de encontrar - e nalguns países encontraram-nos, julgaram-nos e condenaram-nos. Mas é interessante como aqui se desviam as atenções para grupos tradicionalmente estigmatizados pelas culpas alheias. Um dos alvos preferidos são os funcionários públicos.
The Intellectual Origins Of American Strict Products Liability: A Case Study In American Pragmatic Instrumentalism, James R. Hackney Jr.
The Intellectual Origins Of American Strict Products Liability: A Case Study In American Pragmatic Instrumentalism, James R. Hackney Jr.
James R. Hackney Jr.
This article examines the intellectual origins of strict products liability in America. The author traces the intellectual roots of strict products liability to the constellation of ideas referred to in the article as “pragmatic instrumentalism” (pragmatism, institutional economics, and legal realism). Pragmatic instrumentalism played a significant role in changing the way tort law is viewed in America—transforming it from an individualist focus to being concerned with broader policy implications. This new intellectual perspective, combined with Progressive Era politics, led to the shift away from negligence to strict liability in products liability.

Direito À Língua Portuguesa E Lusofonia, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Direito À Língua Portuguesa E Lusofonia, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
Há manobras de diversão no problema do Direito à Língua, nos países lusófonos. Não é o Acordo ortográfico que nos deita os parentes na lama (muita da argumentação contra ele parece ser xenófoba, preconceituosa, etc.). O que realmente nos prejudica a língua e a cabeça lusófona é a capitulação provinciana de muitos de nós e das nossas instituições ao falar e ao pensar da globalização. Porque a Língua é a casa do ser, se falarmos (e pensarmos) muito numa língua alheia, a nossa cabeça começa a moldar-se à cosmovisão desse idioma. Sem prejuízo, é claro, da necessidade de conhecer o …

An Early Tragedy Of Comparative Constitutionalism: Frank Goodnow And The Chinese Republic, Jedidiah Kroncke
An Early Tragedy Of Comparative Constitutionalism: Frank Goodnow And The Chinese Republic, Jedidiah Kroncke
Washington International Law Journal
This article recovers a lost episode in the neglected early history of comparative constitutionalism in the United States. In 1913, pioneering comparative lawyer Frank Goodnow went to China to assist the new Chinese Republic in the writing of its first constitution. Goodnow’s mission reflected the growing interest of the United States in China’s legal development in this era, and his constitution-writing project won broad support from the U.S. legal profession. Goodnow’s tenure ultimately generated great controversy when he advised China’s leaders to adopt a constitutional monarchy rather than continue on as a republic. This article describes this controversy and how …
The Embedded Epistemologist: Dispatches From The Legal Front, Susan Haack
The Embedded Epistemologist: Dispatches From The Legal Front, Susan Haack
Articles
In ordinary circumstances, we can assess the worth of evidence well enough without benefit of any theory; but when evidence is especially complex, ambiguous, or emotionally disturbing-as it often is in legal contexts-epistemological theory may be helpful. A legal fact-finder is asked to determine whether the proposition that the defendant is guilty, or is liable, is established to the required degree of proof by the [admissible] evidence presented; i.e., to make an epistemological appraisal. The foundherentist theory developed in Evidence and Inquiry can help us understand what this means; and reveals that degrees of proof cannot be construed as mathematical …

A Crise Económico-Financeira Europeia: Preconceitos E Realidades, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
A Crise Económico-Financeira Europeia: Preconceitos E Realidades, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
Uma cortina de fumo pseudo-científica obnubila a realidade de um ataque brutal aos países periféricos da Europa, mais especificamente aos da grande civilização mediterrânica: grecos e latinos. Como é possível que quem tanto legou à Europa e ao Mundo seja agora estigmatizado como preguiçoso e caloteiro? Há uma guerra económica coberta por uma guerra ideológica. E nesta última os próprios visados (e alguns que deles deveriam ser solidários) deixam-se lamentavelmente convencer e autoflagelam-se como culpados. Há culpados, mas não são Povos que sempre viveram com dificuldades...

“In The Judge’S Heart:” Rethinking The Role Of Empathy In The Supreme Court Nomination And Confirmation Process, Louis H. Guard
“In The Judge’S Heart:” Rethinking The Role Of Empathy In The Supreme Court Nomination And Confirmation Process, Louis H. Guard
Cornell Law School J.D. Student Research Papers
This paper addresses President Obama’s standard of “empathy” as a qualification for potential nominees to the Supreme Court. The paper seeks to germinate answers to questions surrounding the meaning and purpose of empathy as a quality for Supreme Court Justices and ways empathy might be effectively promoted moving forward. Working within the narrow but recent line of scholarship on empathy this paper supports the position that empathy is both a desirable and necessary quality for nominees to the Court. However, the paper and research also suggests that empathy should not be the only major defining quality considered by the president …

The Letter Of Richard Wyche: An Interrogation Narrative, Christopher G. Bradley
The Letter Of Richard Wyche: An Interrogation Narrative, Christopher G. Bradley
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
This is a translation, with introduction, of the Letter of Richard Wyche—one of only two heresy interrogation narratives from medieval England written from the perspective of the accused heretic.
The Letter is an autobiographical account of Richard Wyche’s interrogation, in 1402-1403, at the hands of church officials. Wyche originally composed the Letter in (Middle) English but it survives only in a Latin translation, alongside other forbidden texts in a manuscript now in Prague. Wyche wrote and covertly sent away this Letter to an audience of intimates sympathetic to the cause (the so-called Wycliffite or Lollard heresy) before his interrogations ended. …

Chief Justices Marshall And Roberts And The Non-Self-Execution Of Treaties, Carlos Manuel Vázquez
Chief Justices Marshall And Roberts And The Non-Self-Execution Of Treaties, Carlos Manuel Vázquez
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
This article is a response to David L. Sloss, Executing Foster v. Neilson: The Two-Step Approach to Analyzing Self-Executing Treaties, 53 Harv. Int'l L L.J. 135 (2012).
David Sloss’s article, Executing Foster v. Neilson, is an important contribution to the literature on the judicial enforcement of treaties. The author agrees with much of it, as he agrees with much of Professor Sloss’ other writing on treaties. In particular, the author agrees that the two-step approach to treaty enforcement that Professor Sloss proposes is generally the right approach, and he agrees that the “intent-based” approach to the self-execution issue …
Due Process As Separation Of Powers, Nathan S. Chapman, Michael W. Mcconnell
Due Process As Separation Of Powers, Nathan S. Chapman, Michael W. Mcconnell
Scholarly Works
From its conceptual origin in Magna Charta, due process of law has required that government can deprive persons of rights only pursuant to a coordinated effort of separate institutions that make, execute, and adjudicate claims under the law. Originalist debates about whether the Fifth or Fourteenth Amendments were understood to entail modern “substantive due process” have obscured the way that many American lawyers and courts understood due process to limit the legislature from the Revolutionary era through the Civil War. They understood due process to prohibit legislatures from directly depriving persons of rights, especially vested property rights, because it was …
Lawyers And Their Books: The Augusta County Law Library Association, 1853-1883, Gregory Harkcom Stoner
Lawyers And Their Books: The Augusta County Law Library Association, 1853-1883, Gregory Harkcom Stoner
Masters Theses
During the eighteenth and nineteenth century, law books of various types contained the vital information needed by Virginia’s practicing attorneys and judges. Access to these resources, however, was generally limited to personal collections and a handful of libraries. Despite numerous calls for the creation of libraries by theVirginiagovernment, state legislators took little action of note.
This study explores the history and origins of law libraries in Virginia by focusing on the formation and evolution of the Augusta County Law Library Association, one of the first libraries organized in Virginia under state legislation enacted in 1853 that authorized the creation of …
Making The Modern American Legislative State, William J. Novak
Making The Modern American Legislative State, William J. Novak
Book Chapters
The essays in this volume are dedicated to two propositions. First, most generally, they aim to reinvigorate scholarly interest in the subject of legislation and bring a new level of analytical sophistication to the study of the legislature. Second, they are committed to looking at legislation developmentally, that is, legislation not as the simple static textual output of a law-drafting body, but as a dynamic social and political process-a living and breathing human activity with a distinct time dimension involving a complex pattern of beginnings, evolutions, maturations, mutations, emendations, and, of course, endings. These propositions nicely intersect with recent themes …

Este livro procura perguntas e respostas para esta crise constitucional em que vivemos sem que se dê o nome à doença. Só com um diagnóstico rigoroso se poderão encontrar medicamentos e trabalhar pela cura. Propomos mais e não menos concretização da Constituição. Não é ela a lei das leis da República?

Trying to buy a mercury thermometer at the local pharmacy these days will result in a deluge of information regarding the risks of mercury and the proper disposal protocol for mercury thermometers as hazardous waste. Yet, inquiring about the risks of placing mercury in one’s mouth, in the form of a dental filling, is likely to meet with resounding assurances of safety from the dental profession. While such comforting disclaimers are meant to ease patient concerns, many continue to worry about the safety of dental mercury. This article will begin by describing the many safety concerns that surround the use …

Os Perigosos Sábios Do Sião Ii, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
Os momentos de aguda crise económica e social, como o que se vive e parece que se irá agravar, são propensos a populismos e demagogia de potenciais candidatos a ditadores, que aproveitam a falta de educação de que a democracia é responsável para manipularem as massas e as fazerem crer em bodes expiatórios. Ingenuamente, os preconceitos são reproduzidos em cadeia. Normalmente, há uma lista comum de "suspeitos do costume". Chega-se ao cúmulo de os que vêm a seguir na lista serem enganados ao ponto de culparem os que estão antes. A defesa da Democracia passa também pelo esclarecimento e pela …
The Philosophical Underpinning And General Workings Of Chinese Mediation Systems: What Lessons Can American Mediators Learn?, Kevin C. Clark
The Philosophical Underpinning And General Workings Of Chinese Mediation Systems: What Lessons Can American Mediators Learn?, Kevin C. Clark
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
Of the various ADR processes available to the disputant seeking ADR, mediation has arguably become the "process choice of today" because -it is a very dynamic, user-friendly process" with a high success rate. Despite its recent successes, however, mediation is not a modern creation. It has been used for centuries in places all around the world. One of these places is China. This article introduces the reader to the philosophical underpinnings of the Chinese legal system as it relates to mediation and the general workings of the Chinese mediation model. It is the author's thesis that as western nations enthusiastically …

Public Sector Dispute Resolution In Local Governments: Lessons From The Scag Project , Alana Knaster, Gregory L. Ogden, Peter Robinson
Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal
This article seeks to share lessons from an ongoing six-year project to overcome the barriers to the use of facilitation and mediation (ADR) processes for addressing regional and interjurisdictional planning disputes throughout Southern California. The participants in this effort originally assumed that the successful use of mediation in high profile disputes would lead to greater acceptance of ADR processes by governmental officials. After several failed attempts, project leaders concluded that it would be appropriate to refocus the original methodology and strategy for promoting the use of ADR. The new strategy focuses on the establishment of mediation services for community-based disputes …
