Review Of Society And Homicide In Thirteenth-Century England, Thomas A. Green

Reviews

JAMES GIVEN has produced the first systematic book-length treatment of the sociology of medieval English crime. His work does not pretend to be comprehensive: it deals only with homicide. Nor does it cover more than a century, the thirteenth; the author has wisely left the earlier system of criminal law, based on private compensation, to other scholars, and he says just enough about late thirteenth- and early fourteenth- century social and legal change to suggest he believes that that period, too, must await its own interpretation. Still, the social history of homicide in the thirteenth century proves itself fascinating terrain, …

Homosexual Rights: The Law In Flux And Conflict, Kenneth Lasson

University of Baltimore Law Review

This Article examines the recent surge in litigation arising from homosexuals' assertions of Constitutional rights. The author concludes that the recent cases reflect substantial judicial confusion, and suggests that both Constitutional principles and libertarian philosophy generally require resolution of the conflicts in favor of equality without regard for sexual preference.

Personal Property Security Interests In Washington--Adoption Of The 1972 Official Text Of The Uniform Commercial Code Will Make A Good Law Better, Leland L. Bull, Jr.

Seattle University Law Review

The purpose of this article is to review the Washington State law of personal property security interests under the existing 1962 Text of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) adopted by the legislature in 1965 and to introduce the reader to the substantive and procedural improvements adoption of the 1972 Text would make in existing Washington practice.

The Implicit Teaching Of Utopian Speculations: Rousseau's Contribution To The Natural Law Tradition, Thomas E. Carbonneau

Seattle University Law Review

Legal philosophers, especially of the positivist variety, traditionally have assumed that the proponents of natural law theory present too facile an answer to the vexed question of whether an unjust law can be said to exist when it is duly sanctioned by legal and political authority. If not disappointed by the answer itself, they have been most unhappy with the explanation that accompanies it and, indeed, are prepared to challenge the very foundations of a theory of law which pays so little heed—either empirically or in terms of pure logic—to the actual operations of existing legal systems. Kant initiated the …

Book Review: H. Fingarette & A. Fingarette Hasse, Mental Disabilities And Criminal Responsibilities, John Q. La Fond

Seattle University Law Review

Whether mental illness and related impairments in the human psyche should affect an individual's criminal responsibilityfor law-breaking behavior has always provoked intense andwide-ranging debate. This debate clearly reflects society's lack of consensus concerning the appropriateness and scope of considering mental impairment in assessing individual criminal responsiblility. Thus, it is not unexpected that recently proposals to abolish the insanity defense have been seriously suggested or that noted scholars have urged society to place the disposition of mentally ill offenders in the exclusive hands of experts. That this heated discussion continues unabated should come as no surprise, since legal doctrines which excuse …

European Analogues To The Class Action: Group Action In France And Germany, William B. Fisch

Faculty Publications

For the civil proceduralist in the United States the most perplexing problems of recent years have been presented by claims of large numbers of persons against large economic interests. A single error in manufacturing design can cause a relatively small injury to each of a large number of consumers; a misrepresentation in national advertising for such goods can have similar consequences; the polluting effects of a single enterprise can be dispersed among a large neighboring population. The result is that the stake of each potential claimant in the outcome of the litigation can be greatly outweighed by the magnitude of …

A Hard Look At Vermont Yankee: Environmental Law Under Close Scrutiny, William H. Rodgers, Jr.

Articles

In Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corp. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. the Supreme Court unanimously reversed the District of Columbia Circuit in two cases that closely scrutinized decisions of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and, in so doing, questioned settled habits of judicial review of administrative action affecting the environment. In this article Professor Rodgers analyzes four implications of Vermont Yankee—substantive judicial review under the National Environmental Policy Act, judicial imposition of procedures upon agencies beyond the statutory minima of the Administrative Procedure Act, the obligation of the agencies to consider alternatives in the environmental impact statement without regard to …

The Standard Of Injury In The Resolution Of Antidumping Disputes, Edward J. Krauland

Michigan Journal of International Law

When a private party files a dumping complaint, the Antidumping Act of 1921 provides a two-step procedure for examining an alleged infraction by a foreign exporter. First, the Department of the Treasury must determine if imports are being marketed within the United States at less than fair value (hereinafter LTFV). If Treasury makes an affirmative determination, the International Trade Commission (ITC) must then determine if a United States industry is being injured, is likely to be injured, or is prevented from being established by reason of the LTFV sales. If any of these forms of injury is found, an antidumping …

The Tax Structure Of The People’S Republic Of China, Richard Pomp, Stanley Surrey

Faculty Articles and Papers

In the summer of 1979, a month-long seminar on taxation sponsored by Harvard Law School’s International Tax Program took place in the People’s Republic of China. Due to limited foreign investment, China was not required to consider the applicability of its domestic tax laws to foreigners. The expected increase in foreign investment after the passage of the 1979 Joint Venture Law will require changes to the existing tax structure. Currently, nine taxes exist in China. While an increase in foreign investment will lead to new taxes, some of the existing taxes may apply to foreigners.
