Breaking Down Barriers To Giving: Policy Reform Needed To Protect Donors, Volunteers, And Food Charities, Ally Depriest Jun 2026

Breaking Down Barriers To Giving: Policy Reform Needed To Protect Donors, Volunteers, And Food Charities, Ally Depriest

Journal of Food Law & Policy

Charitable organizations often depend on public support to fulfill their missions. This is especially true in the charitable food system, a network of nonprofit organizations, including food banks, pantries, and meal programs, which provide no-cost food to those in need. Within this system, volunteers, donors, and food charities each play an important role, such as donating surplus food, directing traffic at food drives, stocking local pantries, and preparing and serving meals at soup kitchens. Together, they provide both hope and nutrition to those in need. Without this public support, many food charities would be unable to operate. Encouraging public participation …


The Soil Crisis In Modern Food Systems: Rethinking Agricultural Land Use, Antonia Moure Richard Jun 2026

The Soil Crisis In Modern Food Systems: Rethinking Agricultural Land Use, Antonia Moure Richard

Journal of Food Law & Policy

Feeding a larger world while preserving the resource that makes agriculture possible—soil—poses a governance problem. By 2050, food systems must support 9.8 billion people even as prevailing practices continue to degrade soils that are non-renewable on human timescales. Technological fixes (e.g., vertical farming, hydroponics) may complement production, but they cannot substitute for soil at scale. The question that follows is simple: are current uses of soil compatible with the future needs of food systems? This article argues that without a shift in governance, short-run productivity gains are achieved by drawing down the soil asset, thereby undermining long-run food security and …


Closing The Gaps: Reforming Maryland Controls On Veterinary Antimicrobial Distribution, Samantha Capaldo, Kerry Mcclaughry Jun 2026

Closing The Gaps: Reforming Maryland Controls On Veterinary Antimicrobial Distribution, Samantha Capaldo, Kerry Mcclaughry

Journal of Food Law & Policy

Antimicrobials have been used in livestock and other food animals in the United States (“U.S.”) since the late 1940s. An antimicrobial is “[a]ny natural, synthetic, or semisynthetic substance that can eradicate or prevent the growth of microbes,” including “[a]ntibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, and antiviral medications.” Antimicrobial use in food animals is subject to a complex statutory and regulatory framework at both the state and federal levels. Antimicrobial use in food animals has been widely criticized for contributing to antimicrobial-resistant bacterial infections in humans. In response to this criticism, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and several states, including Maryland, have …

Administrative Control Of Public Finances: A System In Crisis, Mustapha El Ktiri Jun 2026

Administrative Control Of Public Finances: A System In Crisis, Mustapha El Ktiri

Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

Administrative control of public finances is a fundamental prerogative of state authority, ensuring sound management of public funds within the framework of the separation of powers. This control serves a dual purpose: political and legal justification—ensuring respect for parliamentary authorisation regarding public revenues and expenditures—and technical or administrative justification—guaranteeing efficient financial management and good financial order. The author examines how this control system, rooted in classical theory, now faces a crisis. The analysis highlights tensions between traditional control mechanisms and contemporary challenges, questioning whether the current system remains adequate for ensuring effective public financial governance.


The Religious Character Of Divorce And Legal Separation Before The Supreme Court, Fatna Sarehane Jun 2026

The Religious Character Of Divorce And Legal Separation Before The Supreme Court, Fatna Sarehane

Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

Under Moroccan private international law, divorce and legal separation of foreigners in Morocco are governed by Article 9 of the D.C.C., which refers to their national law. During the Protectorate and early independence, combined with Article 394 of the former civil procedure code, this led Moroccan courts to defer jurisdiction to ecclesiastical authorities when the foreigner's personal law imposed religious formalities. Some decisions even invoked foreign public policy to justify non-competence. The author examines how this created tensions between religious requirements and secular judicial procedures, particularly concerning the distinction between substantive and formal rules.


Notes On The Budget Settlement Law, Abdelkbir Fikri Fikri Jun 2026

Notes On The Budget Settlement Law, Abdelkbir Fikri Fikri

Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

The budget settlement law is an essential mechanism for parliamentary ex-post control of public finances, providing an accounting verification and retroactive validation of the annual budget. According to Morocco's 1972 organic finance law, it certifies annual financial results and approves variances from forecasts. However, during the 1977-1983 legislature, these laws were simply ignored—despite the imperative legislative deadline requiring submission within two years following budget execution. The author attributes this to multiple factors: ministry inertia, parliamentary disinterest, and Court of Accounts disengagement. The government eventually submitted three settlement bills in April 1987 for the 1979–1981 fiscal years, though parliamentary debate remained …


Case Law Chronicle: Judgment Of 14 September 1977 By The First Civil Chamber Of The Supreme Court, Jacques Melia Jun 2026

Case Law Chronicle: Judgment Of 14 September 1977 By The First Civil Chamber Of The Supreme Court, Jacques Melia

Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

This case law commentary examines a Supreme Court judgment concerning a will drafted by a foreigner in Morocco. The Court addressed the nullity of a testamentary disposition on grounds of stupre (moral turpitude) which tainted the liberality, even where such illicit cause was not the sole motivation. The decision invoked Articles 62 and 65 of the D.O.C., alongside Moroccan good morals, public order, and decency. Additionally, the Court considered the imperative nature of referral (évocation) under Article 368 D.P.C., allowing the Supreme Court to rule on the merits where all material elements were established before the trial judge.


The Impact Of Privatisation On The Urban Public Transport Sector In Morocco, Brahim Rachidi Jun 2026

The Impact Of Privatisation On The Urban Public Transport Sector In Morocco, Brahim Rachidi

Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

Morocco's urban transport systems face a structural crisis marked by a chronic imbalance between supply and demand, exacerbated by rapid anarchic urbanisation, economic dependence on Casablanca, and deep imbalances between productive activities and urban structures. In response, public authorities have adopted a new policy introducing private operators into the urban public transport sector. This shift is expected to have profound repercussions on public transport companies, particularly the Autonomous Urban Transport Authorities. The author analyses the efficiency and effects of this privatisation policy, highlighting the specific characteristics of Morocco's urban transport system.


The Public Service Concession: The Case Of Urban Public Transport In Casablanca, Abdelfattah Eddahbi Jun 2026

The Public Service Concession: The Case Of Urban Public Transport In Casablanca, Abdelfattah Eddahbi

Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

The concession model for managing public services has recently gained renewed interest in Moroccan administrative law, driven by public authorities' desire to involve national private capital in managing public-interest activities. The case of urban bus transport in Casablanca illustrates this trend. Rapid demographic growth—from approximately 1 million inhabitants in 1960 to over 2.5 million in 1985—combined with a near-doubling of urbanised area over two decades, has created a situation increasingly difficult to manage. The author examines how the concession technique offers a potential solution to these mounting challenges.


The Political And Ideological Function Of Public Service, Mohamed Ghomari Jun 2026

The Political And Ideological Function Of Public Service, Mohamed Ghomari

Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

The role of administration within society is shaped by the ideology and policies of the state, ranging from interventionist to laissez-faire approaches. However, no state can entirely forgo socio-economic action without losing credibility. In Morocco, public services have existed since the Idrissid dynasty, rooted in Islamic ideology. Under the Protectorate, the French concept of public service reinforced administrative action across all sectors, serving the colonial power's strategy. The author examines how public service functions as both a political instrument and an ideological vehicle, reflecting the evolving relationship between state, society, and national development objectives.


Less State, Better State, Rachid Belkahia Jun 2026

Less State, Better State, Rachid Belkahia

Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

The debate between public and private sectors has intensified, as many liberal countries since the late 1970s have sought to reduce state intervention. The author draws on a 1988 Royal Moroccan speech advocating a shift from the state as a provider to a facilitator and guarantor of a well-functioning liberal economy. This movement, rooted in libertarian values, rehabilitates private enterprise as the primary source of wealth creation. The article questions whether the state should remain in sectors where it underperforms, arguing for a redefinition of its role towards greater efficiency and a focus on its core functions.


The Legal Aspects Of The Permanent Link Project Between Africa And Europe Via The Strait Of Gibraltar, Souni El Jilali Jun 2026

The Legal Aspects Of The Permanent Link Project Between Africa And Europe Via The Strait Of Gibraltar, Souni El Jilali

Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

This master's thesis examines the legal dimensions of the proposed permanent fixed link between Africa and Europe across the Strait of Gibraltar. The project was initiated following the 1979 visit of Spanish King Juan Carlos I to Morocco, driven by the shared vision of King Hassan II and King Juan Carlos to strengthen Moroccan-Spanish relations. A general agreement on scientific and technical cooperation was signed between the two countries in November 1979. The study explores the legal frameworks, bilateral treaties, and international law implications surrounding this ambitious infrastructure project. The thesis was defended on November 2, 1987, at the Faculty …


The Seals Of Notaries And Their Evidentiary Value In Moroccan Law, Mohamed El Kachbour Jun 2026

The Seals Of Notaries And Their Evidentiary Value In Moroccan Law, Mohamed El Kachbour

Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)

This master's thesis, defended in July 1988 at the Faculty of Law in Casablanca, examines the legal evidentiary value of notarial seals in Moroccan legislation. The research addresses a topic that had received little attention in Moroccan legal scholarship, beyond a few scattered articles. The study explores the probative force of notarial instruments, their authenticity, and their role in civil procedure and evidence law. The thesis was awarded a grade of 16/20 and recommended for publication by the examining committee. The work remains a significant contribution to Moroccan legal doctrine on notarial evidence and judicial proof.


Canada’S Contributions To International Legal Discourse: Gender, Genocide, And Neocolonial Investments (2015–2025), Heidi Matthews Jun 2026

Canada’S Contributions To International Legal Discourse: Gender, Genocide, And Neocolonial Investments (2015–2025), Heidi Matthews

Articles & Book Chapters

This chapter critically evaluates Canada’s major points of engagement with international law in the period between 2015 and 2025. In partnership with European and Commonwealth allies, Canada has been an active participant in several contentious cases at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), including against Myanmar, Syria, and Afghanistan. Canada has taken progressive legal positions in this litigation with respect to the interpretation and application of international law as it relates to sexual and gender-based crimes, as well as abuses committed against children. However, the past decade also reveals that Canada’s policy responses to its genocide and other crimes against …


Pay-To-Play, Gad Weiss Jun 2026

Pay-To-Play, Gad Weiss

BYU Law Review

Pay-to-play clauses are a surprisingly understudied feature of venture capital financing deals. These provisions are designed to act as enforcement agents, securing investors’ long-term commitment by penalizing those who decline to provide additional funding when their portfolio startups come calling. Through an analysis of a novel dataset of pay-to-play clauses, this paper uncovers surprising patterns in how U.S. startups design and deploy them—most notably, their tendency to discriminate among investors despite legal guidance suggesting otherwise. The paper illustrates how pay-to-play clauses can increase enterprise value by addressing flaws in startups’ governance and capital structures, preventing destructive “chicken” games among investor …
