The Layha For The Mujahideen: An Analysis Of The Code Of Conduct For The Taliban Fighters Under Islamic Law, 2011 International Islamic University, Islamabad
The Layha For The Mujahideen: An Analysis Of The Code Of Conduct For The Taliban Fighters Under Islamic Law, Muhammad Munir Dr.
Dr. Muhammad Munir
The following article focuses on the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan Rules for the Mujahideen to determine their conformity with the Islamic jus in bello. This code of conduct, or Layha, for Taliban fighters highlights limiting suicide attacks, avoiding civilian casualties, and winning the battle for the hearts and minds of the local civilian population. However, it has altered rules or created new ones for punishing captives that have not previously been used in Islamic military and legal history. Other rules disregard the principle of distinction between combatants and civilians and even allow perfidy, which is strictly prohibited in both Islamic …

Direito Pensado, Sentido E Vivido Em L. A. Warat, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
Em 16 de Dezembro de 2010 faleceu o jurista argentino que o Brasil sobretudo adoptou, Luis Alberto Warat. Era um iconoclasta, um heterodoxo. Este artigo é uma primeira evocação do seu pensamento, inseparável da sua própria vivência do Direito. Se crescermos na nossa cultura jurisfilosófica, um dia será considerado analfabeto em Direito quem não conhecer bem Warat. Se estagnarmos ou regredirmos, será um desconhecido, e nem sequer ilustre.

Presidential Memories: Lincoln's Relationship With The Jews - Remembered On President's Day, 2011 University of Baltimore School of Law
Presidential Memories: Lincoln's Relationship With The Jews - Remembered On President's Day, Kenneth Lasson
All Faculty Scholarship
This article examines the relationship President Abraham Lincoln had with members of the Jewish faith.
Ever since George Washington, U.S. presidents have made inclusive gestures toward Jewish-American citizens and soldiers, but only Abraham Lincoln, whose 291st birthday we celebrated last week, ever officially intervened on their behalf. He did it twice within the span of two years. During his political career Lincoln had many Jewish associates, advisers and supporters.
During the Civil War General Grant issued General Order No. 11, which is also discussed. This order was a result of Grant’s perception that Jews were participating in a black market …

Há quem preveja ainda o fim do livro. Contudo, cada vez mais livros se publicam todos os anos. Há quem deplore a falta de leitura, mas mais e mais pessoas são alfabetizadas, e lêem. Qualquer coisa não bate certo. Percentagens? Tipo de livros? Seja como for, um novo protagonista entra em cena: o e book. Mal amado também pelos mais conservadores. E contudo...
Reflections On Teaching Law, 2011 Chinese University of Hong Kong
Reflections On Teaching Law, Michael Lp Lower
Michael LP Lower
This essay reflects on the goals of law teaching. It suggests that a commitment to scholarship and to inspiring others to become scholars is at the heart of law teaching. It makes suggestions as to how this can be achieved effectively and on the way that web 2.0 technologies can help. It also points out that a commitment to open access is not also consistent with the University's mission but can also be of economic benefit to the University.

Review Essay: The Challenges Of Religous Neutrality, 2011 Touro Law Center
Review Essay: The Challenges Of Religous Neutrality, Samuel J. Levine
Samuel J. Levine
Levine begins this review essay by noting that at the outset of his discussion, Gedicks notes the difficulty one faces in critically engaging Supreme Court decisions in the area of church and state law. Gedicks goes on to premise his analysis on the identification of “competing rhetorical discourses of church-state relations,” through which he attempts to “organize virtually all of religion clause doctrine.” Gedicks applies this phenomenon, which he terms “discourse,” to church and state law. Thus, in The Rhetoric of Church and State: A Critical Analysis of Religion Clause Jurisprudence, Professor Gedicks succeeds in his goal of providing a …

How To Judge Shari'a Contracts: A Guide To Islamic Marriage Agreements In American Courts, 2011 William & Mary Law School
How To Judge Shari'a Contracts: A Guide To Islamic Marriage Agreements In American Courts, Nathan B. Oman
Faculty Publications
This Article thus has two goals. The first is to show how the Muslim conception of marriage diverges from the Christian-influenced norms that dominate American law and society. Understanding this divergence provides a necessary background to Islamic mahr contracts. The second goal is to provide lawyers and judges with a doctrinal framework within our current law for analyzing these contracts and reaching sensible results in concrete cases.

Identidade E Atraso, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
O Professor Fernando Pereira Marques deu a lume um novo livro: Sobre as Causas do Atraso Nacional (Lisboa, Coisas de Ler, Dezembro de 2010). Não poderia haver reflexão mais oportuna. É uma vasta e documentadíssima reflexão, uma preocupação por Portugal não assente em impressões e preconceitos, mas em dados e em testemunhos eloquentes e credíveis. Podem abalar certezas, e sem dúvida desfazem mitos.
Merry Season’S Controversy, 2011 Chapman University
Merry Season’S Controversy, Lorin Geitner
Lorin C. Geitner
Discussion of the infamous "Christmas Controversy" – the legality of religious symbols in holiday displays on public land. This issue is examined both from the viewpoint of an attorney and a scholar of religion: From a legal point of view, the article examines the holdings of three major Supreme Court cases which have addressed this issue. From the viewpoint of religious scholarship, the article examined the relevant sociology of religion, which is also an important factor in accounting for why, in spite of settled precedents, this issue remains controversial.

Crise & Democracia, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha
Paulo Ferreira da Cunha
Vivemos num mundo em grande medida imaginado. Nunca foi tão real a criação artificial de realidades, que se tornam realidades mesmo. O mundo das Finanças é um desses reinos. O problema é que elas afectam - e de que maneira - a vida real das pessoas. E a comunicação social é o eco dessa magia, de que dependemos cada vez mais, por todo o Mundo. Este artigo tem como base o publicado no semanário "Grande Porto", mas acrescenta-lhe um pequeno texto de Paulo Bonavides sobre a ligação entre democracia e Estado social. É que sem um e outra, é impossível …
