Harmonization Of Islamic Law In National Legal System: A Comparative Study Between Indonesia Law And Malaysian Law, Yeni Salma Barlinti
Indonesia Law Review
This artcile compares Indonesia legal system. The government legalized Islamic Law in national legislations, which are in effect for Muslim People. To facilitate dispute settlement, there is a relgious court to solve Islamic dispute based on Islamic Law. The Existance of Islamic law in Indonesia and Malaysia has similarity and differentiation. The similarties among others are: the Muslim-majority in both countries pushes the government to put Islamic law into force, Islamic law must be written into consitution or legislation. It is needed to have legal basis when performing Islamic law, the existence of relgious court is very important in dispute …

Afinal, parece que a primeira aula de Direito Constitucional no mundo foi dada em português, em São Paulo. Mas o seu autor tinha uma sensibilidade e um programa também jurisfilosófico. O que prova o casamento perfeito de Filosofia Jurídica e Constituição.

This cover story focuses on two of baseball’s greatest players, Sandy Koufax, and Hank Greenberg. Besides describing their great talent for the game, it also chronicles the religious discrimination, taunts and abuse they had to endure for their religious beliefs, not just from the public, but occasionally from members of opposing teams as well.

In Light Of Oklahoma Sq 755: How Islamic Law Antecedes In Solving Minorities’ Personal Law Issues?, Mansour A. Alhaidary
Cornell Law School Inter-University Graduate Student Conference Papers
In November 2010, a proposal was passed to amend Section 1 of Article VII of the Oklahoma State Constitution to prevent considering Sharia Law in making judicial decisions as well as international law. This amendment is being challenged in the court by Muslims and a temporary restraining order has been granted. In this paper, I will show, in contrast to what Oklahoma legislators wanted to enact, how Islamic law of 1400 years ago provided freedom of application of personal law for religious minorities more than any other legal system. Although other legal systems provide one type of freedom or another, …

Shifting Title And Risk: Islamic Project Finance With Western Partners, Alan J. Alexander
Michigan Journal of International Law
Project finance exemplifies modern globalized business transactions in that a single project can bring together numerous participants from across the world, and in that sense it is a truly international undertaking. A general definition of project finance is "the financing of an economic unit in which the lenders look initially to the cash flows from operation of that economic unit for repayment of the project loan and to those cash flows and other assets comprising the economic unit as collateral for the loan." The "economic unit" is often referred to as a Special Project Vehicle (SPV). Project finance is commonly …

All Faculty Scholarship
In this Essay, I assess the enactment and implications of the Dodd-Frank Act, Congress’s response to the 2008 financial crisis. To set the stage, I begin by very briefly reviewing the causes of the crisis. I then argue that the legislation has two very clear objectives. The first is to limit the risk of the shadow banking system by more carefully regulating the key instruments and institutions of contemporary finance. The second objective is to limit the damage in the event one of these giant institutions fails. While the new regulation of the instruments of contemporary finance—including clearing and exchange …

Sebastianismo E Constituição, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
Começam a aparecer de novo vozes e grupos cuja essência do respectivo programa político é a defesa do presidencialismo. Além de politicamente ser uma solução sem tradição em Portugal, com manifestações sempre autoritárias e ditatoriais (mesmo na versão de "presidencialismo do "Primeiro-ministro": Salazar), é importante que se saiba que uma tal solução carece, ou de outra Constituição (= golpe de Estado), ou de uma votação no Parlamento de 2/3 dos deputados (em revisão normal, agora já fora de tempo para esta matéria), ou 4/5 (extraordinária). Sem essa maioria excepcionalmente vasta, só um golpe de Estado permitiria adoptar o Presidencialismo. A …

Entrelinhas Políticas, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha

É preciso saber interpretar. Os sinais e as palavras. E em momentos de crise, mais ainda. Há sinais de demagogia crescente. Bodes expiatórios são reencontrados, e as consabidas receitas de salvadores providenciais. O período eleitoral que certamente se avizinha (não era preciso ser profeta para o esperar neste artigo, escrito antes da demissão do Primeiro-ministro) será fértil em palavras. Mas as coisas são simples. E é preciso sobretudo traduzir o que será dito... É tão simples, afinal. Basta ver onde cada um quer chegar... E isso depende dos seus interesses e dos que defenda. Altruístas ou não.

Natural Law And The Rhetoric Of Empire: Reynolds V. United States, Polygamy, And Imperialism, Nathan B. Oman
Faculty Publications
In 1879, the U.S. Supreme Court construed the Free Exercise Clause for the first time, holding in Reynolds v. United States that Congress could punish Mormon polygamy. Historians have interpreted Reynolds, and the anti-polygamy legislation and litigation that it midwifed, as an extension of Reconstruction into the American West. This Article offers a new historical interpretation, one that places the birth of Free Exercise jurisprudence in Reynolds within an international context of Great Power imperialism and American international expansion at the end of the nineteenth century. It does this by recovering the lost theory of religious freedom that the Mormons …
