Revitalization Of The International Judicial Assistance Procedures Of The United States: Service Of Documents And Takings Of Testimony, Richard F. Gerber

Michigan Law Review

This comment will examine two aspects of such judicial assistance-service. of documents and taking of testimony-and it will analyze each from the viewpoint of assistance obtained abroad in aid of American litigation as well as assistance rendered within the United States in aid of foreign litigation. It will attempt to survey some of the problems involved in securing performance of these acts, indicate the changes in current practice which are likely to result from the revisions of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the proposed amendments to the Judicial Code, and, last, suggest some additional measures which might promote …

The Powers Of Shareholders Of A Societe Anonyme, David J. Supino

Vanderbilt Law Review

French corporation law,which is primarily statutory, has seen no comprehensive statutory revision in almost a century; and while literally dozens of amendments have been engrafted on to the basic corporate legislation of 1867, they are for the most part ad hoc legislative resolutions of particular problems which betray no underlying unity of design and which have broken the unity of the old legislation. The result is that the law is Janus faced, and the theories which the law embodies are not wholly in accord with social and economic needs.

In this necessary process of assimilating new insights into the law …

Soviet Tort Law: The New Principles Annotated, Whitmore Gray

Articles

In 1961, the federal legislature, the USSR Supreme Soviet, finally adopted a skeleton code of fundamental principles of civil law.10 This recodification, which incorporates 40 years of case law and doctrinal development as well as some major innovations, will be the basis for individual civil codes to be adopted in each of the 15 union republics. While there may be some slight modifications, and certainly some variety in the degree of additional detail included in the individual codes by each republic,11 these Principles present already a fairly comprehensive picture of the shape of the future law. They are about as …

Reappraising American Legal Education Through A Comparative Study, Stanley A. Samad

Cleveland State Law Review

The current ferment in American legal education has been stimulated mainly by the American realists and a recent offshoot of that school, called policy science. The thrust of their reproof is that law to be studied is not to be found in the casebook and the law library, but is to be found in "law in action" in the context of economic, moral, political, psychological and social forces that shape law and the process of decision. Some have stressed the role of the lawyer as policy maker, or as counsel or adviser to policy makers, and have developed a suggested …

Group Defamation In West Germany, Manfred Zuleeg

Cleveland State Law Review

In each human society, there are social prejudices against certain groups which suffer a more or less discriminating treatment by the other parts of the population. Sometimes the discrimination becomes aggressive. Group defamation and actions of persecution are the consequences. German scholars agree with American sociologists that social prejudices and discriminations are not connected as cause and effect, but as interdependent factors. The origins of a social prejudice are traced by sociologists to an aggressive attitude because of personal or group conflicts or shortcomings. It is difficult, however, for sociologists to explain why the prejudice is directed against just this …

Group Defamation In France, Jean Peytel

Cleveland State Law Review

It cannot be said that there is any French legislation which specifically protects citizens of any particular ethnic origin or creed. For instance, there is no law that shelters members of a particular religious faith from group defamation. The absence of legislative texts in this connection is explicable by the tradition rooted in the French psyche, born out of the French Revolution, that frowns upon racial discrimination and religious intolerance.

Syposium Conclusion, Pieter J. Hoets

Cleveland State Law Review

Tort liability, based on modern medical understanding of the very real injury to an individual member of a defamed group, probably is the readiest and best preventive of abuse of the right of free speech until sound legislation is adopted. But we need both criminal and civil law. In the last analysis all legislation deals with morality-legislates morality. The law serves not only to regulate but also to educate, elevate, and dignify. It must deal with group defamation now. We must have law that will protect us from the sick and evil souls who poison our society with hatreds.

Review Of The Soviet Legal System And How Russia Is Ruled, Whitmore Gray

Reviews

Is there a legal system in the Soviet Union, and if so, what is its role in post-Stalin Soviet society? The Soviet Legal System for the first time makes it possible for a lawyer or law teacher to plunge directly into a very rich collection of translations of case decisions, statutes and doctrinal commentary. Even without a background in Soviet studies, the authors' valuable commentary and the reader's own legal training should make it possible for him to evaluate the material presented. With the help of the new edition of Fainsod's How Russia Is Ruled he can see the development …

Soviet Comrades' Courts, Harold J. Berman, James W. Spindler

Washington Law Review

A major aspect of Soviet criminal law reform since 1959 has been the transfer of certain judicial functions to Comrades' Courts, which are nonprofessional tribunals established to try petty offenses in enterprises, apartment houses, collective farms, universities, and elsewhere. These are called "social," rather than "state," agencies, because they are not staffed by civil servants but by volunteers and because they are conceived to perform a persuasive rather than a coercive function. Apart from their practical importance, they play an important part in symbolizing the theory that in the new period of "expanded construction of communism" there will be a …

Joint Ventures In Japan, Carl J. Bradshaw

Washington Law Review

In most aspects of establishment and operation, joint venture corporations do not differ from any other corporate enterprise. A joint venture operating in a foreign country encounters daily problems of negotiable instruments law, property law and insurance law, to name but a few, in the same way that every corporation in that country does. Thus, it may seem presumptuous to write about joint ventures in a particular country unless one is willing and able to produce a comprehensive survey of that country's legal system. There are several areas of the foreign law, however, which are primary, in terms both of …

The New Japanese Approach To The Taxation Of Foreign Individuals And Enterprise, Griffith Way

Washington Law Review

It is only partly true that the lack of materials on Japanese taxation which are available to the foreign lawyer in English is the result of difficulties of language or a lack of familiarity with the legal and tax systems. Rather more it seems to reflect the Japanese bar's own lack of interest in the subject, a large part of which is occasioned by the lack of tax litigation. The tax field has been long and well occupied by the government tax economist on the one hand and the ordinary accountant on the other; the lawyer's role has been peripheral. …
