The 1997 U.S.-Japan Defense Guidelines Under The Japanese Constitution And Their Implications For U.S. Foreign Policy, Chris Ajemian

Washington International Law Journal

The 1997 U.S.-Japan Defense Guidelines represent additional commitment by Japan to the U.S.-Japan security alliance, the primary source of Northeast Asian security and stability. Certain tasks within Japan's enhanced role raise questions of whether the Guidelines are compatible with Article 9 of Japan's Constitution. On its face, Article 9 renounces Japan's right to wage war or maintain military force, yet it has been interpreted to allow a defensively-oriented, though massive, military. Based on the existing interpretation of Article 9, it is likely that Japan will declare its new role under the Guidelines constitutional. U.S. policy toward Japan in the short-term …

Setting The Standard: Problems Presented To Patent Holders Participating In The Creation Of Industry Uniformity Standards, David M. Schneck

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

This Note examines the problems that arise when the owner of proprietary rights participate in the setting of open industry uniformity standards. These open standards typically include patented technology, sometimes due to the participation of the patent owners in developing the industry standard. Often, standards development committees require disclosure of patents held by participants. After widespread adoption of the standard occurs, the patent owners then face the dilemma of either abandoning some part of their patents or attempting to enforce their patents in courts inclined to hold them estopped. This Note discusses recent developments in this area, including judicial hostility …

Public Schools' Pyrrhic Victories Over Parental Rights, Michael Farris, Bradley P. Jacob

Richmond Journal of Law and the Public Interest

This article explores the historical roots of parental rights in education, and then demonstrates that Professors Uerling and Strope are quite correct when they declare parental rights in public education to be "almost extinct." Next, it examines the stark contrasts between the rights of public school parents and those of parents who choose private and home schooling. Finally, this article suggests that since the constitutionality of educational choice, including choices involving religious schools, has been established beyond any legitimate question, public school advocates and courts should rethink their position concerning parental rights within public education lest they contribute to the …

The Alien-Citizen Paradox And Other Consequences Of U.S. Colonialism, Ediberto Román

Faculty Publications

This Article examines the United States' 100-year-old failed promise. In addition to detailing the unequal citizenship status of the people of Puerto Rico, this Article examines the role that racial and ethnic-based prejudice has played in this issue. 34 Essentially, this Article seeks to compare the traditional legal and political rhetoric of American inclusiveness and the virtues of U.S. citizenship to the reality of colonialism and the impact white supremacy has had on U.S. colonial history. By addressing the subordinated status of "aliencitizens," this Article illustrates the incompatibility of equality under colonialism. As Congress addresses the question of Puerto Rico's …

Internationally Guaranteed Constitutive Order: Cyprus And Bosnia As Predicates For A New Nontraditional Actor In The Society Of States, Thomas D. Grant

Florida State University Journal of Transnational Law & Policy

The purpose of this article is to discuss two state building projects in comparative perspective--one attempted in Cyprus from 1960 to 1963, and another in Bosnia begun in 1995 and still under way. In cooperation with local parties, segments of the international community undertook in both Cyprus and Bosnia to establish constitutive structures that could accommodate mutually antagonistic ethnic groups in a single state and secure a position for the state in international society. Faced with problems similar in several essential aspects, the framers of the Bosnian constitutive structures of 1995, and their forebears in Cyprus in 1960, formulated similar …

The Author Of Roe, Radhika Rao

UC Law Constitutional Quarterly

In her commentary, Professor Radhika Rao focuses upon Justice Blackmun's landmark opinion in Roe v. Wade, exploring the ways in which the Justice shaped and was in turn shaped by the abortion conflict. After describing Roe, she sets forth and responds to a wide range of criticisms of the decision. She then turns her attention to several other abortion and privacy cases, drawing some general insights into Justice Blackmun's jurisprudence. She highlights Justice Blackmun's concern for factual context and his compassion for the real people behind the cases he decided. Professor Rao connects these qualities with Justice Blackmun's opinion in …

Regulating Cyberspace: Metaphor, Rhetoric, Reality, And The Framing Of Legal Options, Clay Calvert

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

This Article argues that the "information superhighway" metaphor is a strategically chosen rhetorical device used to frame debate about Internet and telecommunications regulation, to implicitly suggest the particular legal choices are more viable-and valid-than others, and to guide the future of law in cyberspace. In particular, the metaphor embraces a commerce-based, marketplace model of regulation that emphasizes speed and quantity of information as a product or good rather than the content or quality of communication and its ability to sustain extant communities and cultures. Along the way, the Article traces the development of the "information superhighway" metaphor and explores some …
