The Basic Course—A Mild Dissent, Whitmore Gray Jan 1971

The Basic Course—A Mild Dissent, Whitmore Gray

Articles

Perhaps it is unusual to start a discussion of a topic with a dissent from the assumption underlying its choice, but I think that in the present case this may be justified. The present topic was no doubt selected because for many years teachers have viewed the course in "comparative law" as a basic course, leading subsequently to specialized courses or research in various subject matters or geographical areas. In fact, the other two speakers on this afternoon's program, Professors Rudolf Schlesinger of Cornell and Arthur von Mehren of Harvard, are both on record in the form of their casebooks …


Habeas Corpus In Peru: Myth And Reality, H. H. A. Cooper Jan 1971

Habeas Corpus In Peru: Myth And Reality, H. H. A. Cooper

Cleveland State Law Review

The purpose of the present article is not to criticize the laudable project of those whose object is to secure better protection for fundamental human rights, but rather to examine in detail the theory and practice of habeas corpus in one Latin American country, Peru, and to demonstrate that the greatest encroachments on human rights come not from political tyranny, as is popularly imagined, but from the malfunctioning of the legal system itself, against which even the most perfectly conceived habeas corpus is quite ineffective. It is trite but true that a legal system is only as effective as the …


Recognition And Enforcement Of Foreign Judgments In Personam And In Rem In The Common Law Provinces Of Canada, Jean-Gabriel Castel Jan 1971

Recognition And Enforcement Of Foreign Judgments In Personam And In Rem In The Common Law Provinces Of Canada, Jean-Gabriel Castel

Articles & Book Chapters

Although it is hardly necessary to stress the advantages to international relations and international trade which may result from universal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments, it appears that the increasing volume of international and inter- provincial trade and business has not been followed by a com- parable development of the facilities granted to creditors to recover on their claims. Each country has a tendency to protect itself against the intrusion of foreign judgments, to the prejudice of creditors in whose favour the judgments lie. The principle of territorial sovereignty is said to prevent foreign judgments from having any direct …

Review Of Contemporary Chinese Law: Research Problems And Perspectives, Whitmore Gray Jan 1971

Review Of Contemporary Chinese Law: Research Problems And Perspectives, Whitmore Gray

Reviews

This excellent collection of studies deals with both the substance of the legal system of Communist China and the problems of its study. Contributions include an appraisal of Communist Chinese legal publications, discussions of refugee and survey interviewing techniques as methods of gathering information, a review of Communist Chinese attitudes toward international law, and a series of articles dealing with Chinese legal terminology in a number of fields which contain a substantial amount of substantive law in the interstices.


Judicial Review In Italy And West Germany, Donald P. Kommers Jan 1971

Judicial Review In Italy And West Germany, Donald P. Kommers

Journal Articles

This is a comparative study of the constitutional courts of Italy and West Germany. These institutions, established in the 1950's, have settled hundreds of constitutional disputes. And their caseloads continue to rise in volume. The time seems ripe, therefore, briefly to review the work of these tribunals and to relate this work to the condition of constitutional democracy in the two polities. It should be remarked that this is not fundamentally a study in constitutional jurisprudence. The main purpose of this article is to see how judicial review has actually operated, what its effects have been, and what its future …

The Canadian Arctic Waters Pollution Prevention Act: New Stresses On The Law Of The Sea, Richard B. Bilder Nov 1970

The Canadian Arctic Waters Pollution Prevention Act: New Stresses On The Law Of The Sea, Richard B. Bilder

Michigan Law Review

The Canadian Pollution Prevention Act is of interest in several respects. It opens a new round in the historic and multifaceted struggle over freedom of the seas. It raises complex questions of international law and policy regarding the legal regime of Arctic waters, the concept of contiguous zones, the status of waters within archipelagoes, and the doctrines of innocent passage and international straits. It illustrates both the perception of an increasing number of coastal states that existing international law and international arrangements are inadequate to protect their legitimate interests, and the strong pressures within such states for unilateral action to …

Standing, The "New Property," And The Costs Of Welfare: Dilemmas In American And West German Provider-Administration, Robert Dugan May 1970

Standing, The "New Property," And The Costs Of Welfare: Dilemmas In American And West German Provider-Administration, Robert Dugan

Washington Law Review

The overwhelming increase in governmental welfare, subsidy, and licensing programs in the United States' recent history has prompted substantial acadenic controversy and judicial uncertainty over the requisites for standing to challenge the decisions of our provider-administration. Looking beyond our traditional theories, Mr. Dugan examines recent decisions of the West German Federal Administrative Court with respect to mandatory and discretionary governmental benefits which are deemed to create rights in their intended beneficiaries. He argues that the most sound analytical approach to the problem as we now view it would be to apply a "violated right" standard, since injury depends upon violation …


The Right To Fair Hearing In Japanese Administrative Law, Nathaniel L. Nathanson, Yasuhiro Fujita Apr 1970

The Right To Fair Hearing In Japanese Administrative Law, Nathaniel L. Nathanson, Yasuhiro Fujita

Washington Law Review

The right to fair hearing in contemporary Japanese administrative law is a tender plant, lacking deep roots in historical tradition, and struggling for survival in a relatively hostile environment, Fair hearing was a concept practically unknown to the administrative law of pre-war Japan, which, taking its cue from German and French law, relied principally, not on the procedural rights of the individual, but rather upon the skill and dedication of administrators for the achievement of efficiency and justice, with only occasional judicial review by the Administrative Court. The Anglo-American maxim that "he who decides must hear" was indeed foreign to …


Civil Procedure In France, By Peter Herzog With Martha Weser(1967), Jean-Louis Baudouin Mar 1970

Civil Procedure In France, By Peter Herzog With Martha Weser(1967), Jean-Louis Baudouin

Washington Law Review

The Columbia University School of Law project on international procedure has already published three books on foreign civil procedure. Civil Procedure in France is a significant and most important addition to this series, for to my knowledge it constitutes the first comprehensive study of modern French civil procedure in the English language.

The Development Of French Law, Rene De Chambrun Jan 1970

The Development Of French Law, Rene De Chambrun

Cleveland State Law Review

Feeling the political necessity of building a strongly unified nation, the Revolution standardized the territorial administration by redividing the country into new administrative units, the "departments," thereby breaking up the former provinces which had long fought for their administrative and judicial autonomy, and by undertaking the abolition of regulations restricted to any particular part of the country or of the population. The fundamental result of today's administrative and territorial organization is that this unitary system over the whole territory places all citizens under the same law.


On Lawful Governments, Joseph Raz Jan 1970

On Lawful Governments, Joseph Raz

Faculty Scholarship

What is the meaning of sentences of the form 'X is the lawful government of the country Y,' and what kinds of statements are normally -made by using them? Most answers to these questions can be classified as legalistic, moralistic, or compromise solutions. The gist of the legalistic approach is that the lawful government is that authorized by the positive law of the land. Critics of the legalistic approach point out that disagreement about the lawful government is not always solved when agreement is reached about the positive law of the land. For example, two people may disagree as to …

Decision Trees, Peter L. Strauss, Michael R. Topping Jan 1970

Decision Trees, Peter L. Strauss, Michael R. Topping

Faculty Scholarship

The object of this paper is to inform those concerned with the administration of justice in Ethiopia – particularly, criminal justice – about a new and simple procedure which may assist in procuring uniform interpretation and application of laws and regulations. The problem of uniform interpretation and application is particularly severe where, as in Ethiopia, new laws must be interpreted and applied by persons who have not yet had the opportunity of formal legal education. For these persons the discovery of the relevant code articles and the understanding of their interrelationships and application must be very difficult indeed. One possible …
