Minority Vetoes In Consociational Legislatures: Ultimately Weaponized?, Devin Haymond
Indiana Journal of Constitutional Design
In societies emerging from or at risk for conflict, dividing power among rival groups—called power-sharing—can be an appropriate arrangement to maintaining peace. But how can groups, who are often emerging from violent conflict, trust sharing a government with rival groups that were just recently shooting at them?
A potential solution is the minority veto, which is allows minority groups to block the government from harming those groups’ vital interests. But what sorts of change blocking mechanisms constitute a minority veto? Who gets the veto power, and when can they be used? Do minority vetoes function as effective incentives ...

Models Of Pre-Promulgation Review Of Legislation, Rachel Myers
Indiana Journal of Constitutional Design
Pre-promulgation review seeks to harmonize legislation with the constitution by engaging in a dialogue among government institutions that seeks to prevent unconstitutional legislation from becoming law. Pre-promulgation review is an integral part of the lawmaking process, and this study seeks to unite scholarship on different methods of this review in a comparative survey to assist lawyers, policymakers, and scholars. A wide range of institutions may fulfill the function of reviewing proposed legislation for compliance with the constitution or other codes of national importance prior to their passage into law. Because of this diversity, scholarship on the topic of pre-promulgation review ...
Classifying Systems Of Constitutional Review: A Context-Specific Analysis,

Classifying Systems Of Constitutional Review: A Context-Specific Analysis, Samantha Lalisan
Indiana Journal of Constitutional Design
Modern constitutional drafters and advisors increasingly use judicial review classifications and the current model for classification does not accurately capture constitutional review in Latin America. This paper proposes context-specific classification that can accurately capture constitutional review in the Latin American region. Specifically, this paper argues that the context-specific analysis suggests that the more salient point of classification in Latin America is that of access mechanisms to constitutional courts. As such, the paper proceeds in four parts: Part I examines the traditional model of classification in Europe and focuses on the Spanish and German direct access mechanisms. Part II explores the ...

Justice Thomas’S Concurrence Says Much—And Little—About Preemption Of State Net Neutrality Efforts,

Justice Thomas’S Concurrence Says Much—And Little—About Preemption Of State Net Neutrality Efforts, Daniel A. Lyons
Boston College Law School Faculty Papers
A little-noticed concurrence in denial of certiorari by Justice Clarence Thomas may have caused a wrinkle in the ongoing net neutrality debate. Late last month, the Supreme Court quietly declined to review Lipschultz v. Charter Advanced Services (MN), LLC, an Eighth Circuit decision preempting state VoIP regulation. While concurring in the denial, Justice Thomas raised concerns about the underlying theory of federal preemption, noting that “[i]t is doubtful that a federal policy – let alone a policy of nonregulation – is” sufficient to support conflict preemption.
Justice Thomas’s concurrence – joined by Justice Neil Gorsuch – casts an interesting shadow on the ...

Singapore: A Mix Of Traditional And New Rules, Adeline Chong
Research Collection School Of Law
The applicable rules differ depending on whether the Singapore High Court (not including the Singapore International Commercial Court), the Singapore International Commercial Court (“SICC”), or a foreign forum is named in an optional choice of court agreement. If the Singapore High Court (not including the SICC) or a foreign forum is named in the agreement, the traditional rules apply, although there are certain differences depending on whether the chosen court is local or foreign and the context of the case. The SICC regime departs from the traditional rules by relying on a presumption of exclusivity if party intentions as to ...

The Globalization Era And The Conflict Of Laws: What Europe Could Learn From The United States And Vice Versa, Milena Sterio
Milena Sterio
Europe has been under the increasing influence of European Union (E.U.) lawmakers, who have undertaken a harmonization movement attempting to somewhat unify member states' laws. The conflict of laws area has not escaped the harmonization movement and will become increasingly subject to Brussels's regulations and directives. Thus, traditional bilateral rules will have to adapt themselves in light of the new political reality in Europe.
Second, the conflicts field in general, be it in Europe or in the U.S., has been transformed under today's globalization trend. In other words, with the rise of international commerce, traditional private ...

Corporations And Autonomy Theories Of Contract: A Critique Of The New Lex Mercatoria, Nathan B. Oman
Nathan B. Oman
One of the central problems of contracts jurisprudence is the conflict between autonomy theories of contract and efficiency theories of contract. One approach to solving this conflict is to argue that in the realm of contracts between corporations, autonomy theories have nothing to say because corporations are not real people with whose autonomy we need to be concerned. While apparently powerful, this argument ultimately fails because it implicitly assumes theories of the corporation at odds with economic theories of law. Economics, in turn, offers a vision of the firm that is quite hospitable to autonomy theories of contract. The failure ...

Law Matters -- Less Than We Thought, Daniel M. Klerman, Holger Spamann
University of Southern California Legal Studies Working Paper Series
In a pre-registered 2×2×2 factorial between-subject randomized lab experiment with 61 federal judges, we test if the law influences judicial decisions, if it does so more under a rule than under a standard, and how its influence compares to that of legally irrelevant sympathies. The judges were given realistic materials and a relatively long period of time (50 minutes) to decide a run-of-the-mill auto accident case. We find weak evidence for the law effect, stronger evidence that rules constrain more than standards, and no evidence of a sympathy effect. Unexpectedly, we find that judges were more likely to ...
