The Legal Justifications For A People-Based Approach To The Control Of Mineral Resources In The Democratic Republic Of The Congo, Dunia P. Zongwe Apr 2008

The Legal Justifications For A People-Based Approach To The Control Of Mineral Resources In The Democratic Republic Of The Congo, Dunia P. Zongwe

Cornell Law School Inter-University Graduate Student Conference Papers

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is endowed with vast mineral wealth. However, although renewed activities in the mining sector ameliorated the DRC’s fiscal position and GDP growth in 2005-07, generally the peoples of the DRC neither participate in nor benefit from the exploitation of mineral resources. The problem is that the exploitation of mineral resources in the DRC go against the interests of the Congolese peoples. To be sure, the Congolese peoples are some of the poorest in the world. The main purpose of this paper is to explore the ways in which the peoples of the DRC …

The Accommodation Doctrine: What Are Louisiana's Neighbors Doing And Why Should Louisiana Care?, Joshua A. Norris Mar 2008

The Accommodation Doctrine: What Are Louisiana's Neighbors Doing And Why Should Louisiana Care?, Joshua A. Norris

Annual Institute on Mineral Law

The purpose of this paper is not to provide an exhaustive discussion of the details of any one state's legal landscape as it relates to the sometimes heated and always changing relationship between surface estate owners and mineral owners. Rather, the purpose of this paper is to set the stage for a meaningful exchange of information, ideas, and strategy regarding what the current landscape around Louisiana's borders looks like and why those that live, work, and, probably most importantly for our purposes, operate in the state should care about what their neighbors are doing on these issues. In sum, what, …

Recent Developments, Patrick H. Martin

Annual Institute on Mineral Law

As usual for this slot on the program, we have a rich variety of oilfield controvermies in the courts. We will survey what we can in the confines of an hour. Brevity may be the soul of wit, as Polonius told Claudius and Gertrude, but it necessitates distortion by oversimplification of complex factual and legal issues. All of you who may have been litigants in any of the cases discussed herein please bear with me while I reduce your many months or even years of earnest effort to simple fouinulations and then dispose of them with cavalier indifference to the …

Ruminations On Contract Drafting: Best Practices In Drafting Offshore And Onshore Form Agreements, Melissa A. Lovell, Katherine Reynolds Mar 2008

Ruminations On Contract Drafting: Best Practices In Drafting Offshore And Onshore Form Agreements, Melissa A. Lovell, Katherine Reynolds

Annual Institute on Mineral Law

The purpose of this paper is to address a number of recommended practices for preparation of agreements typically utilized in the energy industry. Specifically, this paper is meant to assist attorneys in preparing and drafting a "forms library" of agreements for a client in the oil and gas business. For example, imagine that a new client seeking to enter into the oil and gas business asks the attorney to prepare all of the "standard" documents that will be necessary in these transactions. How and where does one begin?


Legal Ethics, Pain, And Suffering, N. Gregory Smith Mar 2008

Legal Ethics, Pain, And Suffering, N. Gregory Smith

Annual Institute on Mineral Law

The lessons that come to us from the application of legal ethics rules can be instrucive, but they often involve a considerable measure of pain and suffering. If presentations like this have any value, perhaps that value could be found in change. The hope would be that, after some exposure to the stories and other matters included in the presentation, a lawyer might thereafter do something that is more consistent with the standards of the profession than he or she might otherwise have done.

Current Issues On Joint Operating Agreements, Patrick W. Gray, Amy A. Lee Mar 2008

Current Issues On Joint Operating Agreements, Patrick W. Gray, Amy A. Lee

Annual Institute on Mineral Law

This paper discusses current issues regarding joint operating agreements, focusing on recent decisions from courts in Louisiana. For the purposes of this paper, the "current" timeframe is roughly ten years, although there will be some reference to older cases that touch on issues that we think are pertinent today. Because it is the most frequently used form for onshore operations, AAPL Form 610, last revised in 1989, will be used as the contract of reference.
