Negotiating An International Technology Joint Venture, James A. Dobkin Jan 1985

Negotiating An International Technology Joint Venture, James A. Dobkin

Connecticut Journal of International Law

Consider a hypothetical United States corporation, BathyTech Industries,' that for three years has been involved in the research and development of bathymetric navigation technology.' BathyTech's research department has made significant advances toward developing a prototype system. However, it has expended very considerable sums and substantial additional risk capital is necessary to bring the product to the point of commercial application. BathyTech has not previously marketed navigational systems, and has little experience in marketing outside the United States. Nevertheless, there is substantial market demand for an effective bathymetric navigation system. The board of directors and management are reluctant to invest the …

Administrative Procedure (Annual Survey Of Virginia Law, 1985), John Paul Jones Jan 1985

Administrative Procedure (Annual Survey Of Virginia Law, 1985), John Paul Jones

Law Faculty Publications

Both the General Assembly and the Supreme Court of Virginia have been active recently in administrative law. For the past three years, a broadly-based movement for bureaucratic reform has influenced the legislative and executive branches of state government. The instrument for formal expression of this reform has been the Governor's Regulatory Reform Advisory Board. In 1985, the General Assembly and the Governor responded obligingly to a second round of suggestions from the Board for amendment of the commonwealth's general administrative process act. These legislative changes involved the definition of regulation, i.e., the output of a statutorily controlled administrative rulemaking process, …

On 'Positivism' And 'Legal Rational Authority', John M. Finnis Jan 1985

On 'Positivism' And 'Legal Rational Authority', John M. Finnis

Journal Articles

This Article critiques Anthony Kronman’s book Max Weber, which provides an interpretation of Weber’s social theory of law concerning positivism and legal rational authority. In particular, the three premises of Kronman’s thesis regarding social theory are considered and their weaknesses are explained. Through this critique, the Author argues that no good reason has been presented to accept that Weber’s positivist theory is of value.

Law And Language: The Role Of Pragmatics In Statutory Interpretation, M. B.W. Sinclair Jan 1985

Law And Language: The Role Of Pragmatics In Statutory Interpretation, M. B.W. Sinclair

Articles by Maurer Faculty

In everyday conversation social conventions constrain our speech and aid understanding of the speech of others. These social conventions have been analyzed by the philosopher H.P. Grice and others. Professor Sinclair explores the applicability of such conventions to statutes and thereby derives a set of pragmatic rules of statutory construction. These rules explain some of the intuitions underlying "canons of construction" and their limitations and provide a basis for understanding and for criticizing some important judicial decisions.


Equalities Real And Ideal: Affirmative Action In Indian Law Review, Lance Liebman Jan 1985

Equalities Real And Ideal: Affirmative Action In Indian Law Review, Lance Liebman

Faculty Scholarship

American legal scholars have devoted surprisingly little effort to studying India. In India, as in America, judges, lawyers, and legislators have had to shape a transplanted legal system with English roots. Both countries have adapted English legal institutions to conditions far more heterogeneous – ethnically, racially, linguistically,and geographically – than those of the mother country. It thus seems no accident that India's constitutional structure parallels that of the United States in so many ways. For example, India has a written constitution that embodies principles of federalism and separation of powers, and that provides for judicially enforced guarantees of individual rights. …


The Limits Of Expanded Choice: An Analysis Of The Interactions Between Express And Implied Contract Terms, Charles J. Goetz, Robert E. Scott Jan 1985

The Limits Of Expanded Choice: An Analysis Of The Interactions Between Express And Implied Contract Terms, Charles J. Goetz, Robert E. Scott

Faculty Scholarship

Although trade and its defining terms lie at the very core of contract law, perceptions of the state's involvement in the exchange process remain peculiarly incomplete. Everyone understands that the state supplies the fundamental property-defining rules for pre-trade endowments. For instance, governmentally provided rules of tort, nuisance, and civil rights establish basic boundaries of what initially belongs to an individual and, hence, what he has to offer in exchange. When an exchange subsequently takes place, however, the parties themselves assume an important part of the burden of communicating what rights are being given and received. Although the state's general rules …

New Limits On Police Vehicle Searches In Washington—State V. Ringer, 100 Wn. 2d 686, 674 P.2d 1240 (1983), Miriam Metz Dec 1984

New Limits On Police Vehicle Searches In Washington—State V. Ringer, 100 Wn. 2d 686, 674 P.2d 1240 (1983), Miriam Metz

Washington Law Review

In State v. Ringer, the Washington Supreme Court announced two new constitutional rules for police searches and seizures. First, police arresting a suspect in a car may search the suspect and the area within the suspect's immediate control for weapons or evidence, but may not search the area beyond the arrestee's reach. Second, unless there are exigent circumstances that justify their dispensing with a warrant, police with probable cause to search a lawfully stopped vehicle must obtain a warrant before conducting a search. Various public officials and organizations have criticized Ringer, castigating the Washington Supreme Court for being soft on …

The Canadian Constitutional Experiment, Alan C. Cairns Nov 1984

The Canadian Constitutional Experiment, Alan C. Cairns

Dalhousie Law Journal

Amidst the staggering array of possible foci for an essay on the Canadian constitutional experiment I have chosen to stress the recent tumultuous struggles for identity and community which have engaged citizens and governments. My perspective is primarily from the bottom up, not because the recent constitutional exercise shows the Canadian peoples as masters of their fate, which it does not, but because who we are and to whom we relate as fellow citizens are important subjects in themselves. Further, the contemporary democratic state cannot function successfully in a vacuum. Its weight and its pressure are such, and its purposes …


Backing Off Bivens And The Ramifications Of This Retreat For The Vindication Of First Amendment Rights, Joan Steinman Nov 1984

Backing Off Bivens And The Ramifications Of This Retreat For The Vindication Of First Amendment Rights, Joan Steinman

Michigan Law Review

In Part I of this Article, Chappell and Bush are analyzed against the backdrop of the preceding Bivens cases. The analysis explains how these cases presented situations that were similar to one another but unlike any the Supreme Court previously had faced in Bivens cases. It demonstrates how the Court departed from the line of analysis that its previous Bivens cases had established, in a way that makes it more difficult for at least some plaintiffs seeking vindication of their constitutional rights to succeed in having a money damage remedy implied directly under the Constitution. The Article then argues that …

Punitive Damages: A Relic That Has Outlived Its Origins, James B. Sales, Kenneth B. Cole, Jr. Oct 1984

Punitive Damages: A Relic That Has Outlived Its Origins, James B. Sales, Kenneth B. Cole, Jr.

Vanderbilt Law Review

The doctrine of punitive damages truly is an ancient legal concept that inexplicably has evaded commitment to the archives of history. Irrespective of the questionable validity of the doctrine at early common law, the simple fact remains that none of the historical justifications supports the punitive damage theory in today's tort reparations system. The quest to bestow increasing compensation no longer can justify punitive damage awards because actual damages currently recoverable compensate plaintiffs more than adequately for every conceivable element of physical, emotional, or imagined injury. The desire to inflict punishment, likewise, represents an insupportable basis for awarding quasi-criminal fines …


Rights And Judges In A Democracy: A New Canadian Version, Paul C. Weiler Oct 1984

Rights And Judges In A Democracy: A New Canadian Version, Paul C. Weiler

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Canadians sought a constitutionally entrenched Charter of Rights not just for its own sake, but also as part of a larger effort at constitutional renewal. The hope was that such a Charter would preserve a united Canada in the face of the serious threat posed by French Canadian nationalism within a potentially independent Quebec. In this Article, I comment on those features of the Canadian debate and its denouement that are noteworthy within the Canadian context, as well as those that illustrate some of the universal themes of constitutional theory.
