Humanitarian Intervention In Southeast Asia In The Post-Cold War World: Dilemmas In The Definition And Design Of International Law, Bruce Pruitt-Hamm

Washington International Law Journal

Human rights abuse is a significant problem in Southeast Asia. The end of the Cold War has led to trends toward greater use of international interventionary force for humanitarian objectives. This Comment proposes that rather than defining or re-interpreting international law to allow military intervention for humanitarian purposes, a Southeast Asian regional human rights regime should be formed, involving greater development and acceptance of non-military forms of intervention.

Intersections Of Race, Ethnicity, And The Law, Valerie P. Hans, Ramiro Martinez Jr.

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

The development of law is inextricably linked to matters of race and ethnicity. The stories of minority citizens--the texture of their lives, the prejudices they have endured, and their struggles for fair treatment--have been documented in the pages of legal opinions, as judges over the years have wrestled with fundamental questions of racial bias and inequality. Studying race, ethnicity, and the law is challenging for many reasons, not the least of which is the prime difficulty of defining what we mean by race. Even the choice of words used to identify minority individuals has social and political ramifications. How law …

Discussion And Decisions: A Proposal To Replace The Myth Of Self-Rule With An Attorneyship Model Of Representation, Marci A. Hamilton

Articles

The traditional model used by legal scholars to describe our system of representative democracy seeks to justify representation as a fulfillment of the self-rule ideal Many scholars, however, have argued that certain features of the modem legislative process undermine self-rule, and have proposed means by which judicial review can correct legislative failures and restore self-rule to primacy. Drawing on German philosopher Carl Schmitt's critique of parliamentary democracy in Weimar Germany, Professor Hamilton posits that scholarly attempts to reconcile self-rule with representative democracy are misguided. Representation based on self-rule will inevitably lead to interest-group politics, resulting in meaningless and endless debate …

Meeting The Challenge Of Urban Revitalization, Henry G. Cisneros

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Intensified spatial, racial, and social isolation of the inner-city poor is the single most significant aspect of American urban decline in the latter half of the twentieth century. Successful urban revitalization depends on our willingness to confront it. Failure to deal with it will leave a critical mass of human misery at the cores of our cities, and a self-sustaining chain reaction of poverty that no amount of tax credits, tax incentives, or business investment can ever overcome.

The Clinton administration's urban strategy is founded on an understanding of this reality. Our approach to urban revitalization is, accordingly, twofold: on …

Revisiting The Role Of Liberal Trade Policy In Promoting Idealistic Objectives Of The International Legal Order, Robert L. Mcgeorge

A Purposeful Approach To Products Liability Warnings And Non-English-Speaking Consumers, Thomas H. Lee

Vanderbilt Law Review

This simple statement, which represents a patriotic imperative ' for some Americans and a simple declaration of measurable observation for others, potentially plays havoc with products liability warning law. Products liability law, a byproduct of both common and statutory law, has developed state by state in a crazy quilt pattern across the country; although the states are virtually unanimous on broad doctrines, they have taken a Balkanized approach to details. Today, every jurisdiction recognizes that product manufacturers and sellers have a duty to warn consumers and users adequately of the inherent dangers associated with their products. This recognition, however, does …

Asl? Language Foreign Me? Homeborn: Conflicts Between Juror Laws And American Sign Language Interpretation For A Deaf Juror: An Unrecognized Problem, Jean T. Jims

Undergraduate University Honors Capstones

American Sign Language is not English, but many deaf Americans use it as their primary language; some their only language. Federal and most state. Statutes which establish juror qualifications have English language requirements. This thesis will explain how those requirements are contradictory when applied to a deaf juror who would require American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation during service as a juror, and propose that it would be in the best interests of the judicial system to recognize those contradictions and address the problem. Legislative history does not offer a clear answer, and the issue is sufficiently in doubt that legislative …

The Ties Of Natural Justice: Restoring Quantum Meruit For Contractors In Washington, Adam B. Brotman

Washington Law Review

Under Washington case law, quantum meruit is an appropriate means of recovery for contractors when substantial changes occur that are not covered by the contract and were not contemplated by the parties. The Nelse Mortensen and Hensel Phelps decisions severely limited quantum meruit by precluding contractors from recovering under this doctrine as a matter of law. This Comment examines how these two cases are at odds with the historical and philosophical underpinnings of quantum meruit, and with the Washington Supreme Court's decision in Berg v. Hudesman. Rather than apply Hensel Phelps's plain meaning analysis, future quantum meruit decisions should follow …

Pragmatism Applied: Imagining A Solution To The Problem Of Court Congestion, Michael L. Seigel

UF Law Faculty Publications

Can we improve the efficiency of jury trials? If so, would this reduce the problem of court congestion? Is there any reason to favor this approach over those that seek to avoid jury trials altogether?

This Article attempts to answer these difficult questions. It does so by articulating and then employing a methodology suggested by recent scholarly ruminations about the philosophy of pragmatism and its implications for legal scholarship and practice. Although pragmatism does not provide "right answers" to questions of legal doctrine-indeed, it rejects the notion that such things exist-it does provide some guidance in formulating the search for …

Class, National Character, And The Bar Reforms In Britain: Will There Always Be An England?, Maimon Schwarzschild

Connecticut Journal of International Law

The English legal professions, and the English legal system generally, hold a perennial fascination for American legal observers, understandably enough considering America's common law roots. Americans often compare their own legal folkways unfavorably to the English way of doing things.1 This is especially true whenever there is widespread dissatisfaction with lawyers and with the legal system in America.2 Less frequently, some aspect of the English system is held up as a cautionary warning to Americans.

Yet, although England is an obvious recourse for legal comparisons, the English legal world is also a "distant mirror" for Americans: remote as well as …
