Reconciling Trade And Environment: A Legal Analysis Of European And North American Approaches, Bradly J. Condon Apr 2000

Reconciling Trade And Environment: A Legal Analysis Of European And North American Approaches, Bradly J. Condon

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article examines the differing approaches of the European Union (EU) and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in reconciling trade liberalization with environmental protection. While the EU employs a proportionality principle that prioritizes environmental protection over trade in cases of conflict, NAFTA uses a least-trade-restrictive principle to balance these interests. The analysis highlights that both systems reflect distinct political, economic, and legal frameworks but could benefit from learning each other's strengths and addressing their respective weaknesses.


Decriminalization Of Sodomy Under South Africa's 1996 Constitution: Implications For South African And U.S. Law, Heidi Joy Schmid Apr 2000

Decriminalization Of Sodomy Under South Africa's 1996 Constitution: Implications For South African And U.S. Law, Heidi Joy Schmid

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note examines the landmark decision of the South African Constitutional Court in National Coalition for Gay and Lesbian Equality and Another v. Minister of Justice and Another, which invalidated sodomy laws as unconstitutional. The court held that these laws violated rights to dignity, privacy, and equality under the South African Constitution of 1996. Judge Sachs emphasized the interconnectedness of privacy and equality rights, advocating for a broad interpretation of privacy and the importance of dignity in challenging discriminatory laws. The decision not only advanced sexual minority rights in South Africa but also highlighted broader implications for global jurisprudence, …

The Effectiveness Of The Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty On Nuclear Weapons Proliferation: A Review Of Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaties And The Impact Of The Indian And Pakistani Nuclear Tests On The Non-Proliferation Regime, Vejay Lalla Apr 2000

The Effectiveness Of The Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty On Nuclear Weapons Proliferation: A Review Of Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaties And The Impact Of The Indian And Pakistani Nuclear Tests On The Non-Proliferation Regime, Vejay Lalla

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) are insufficient to curb nuclear proliferation due to weaknesses in their enforcement mechanisms, loopholes in their provisions, and challenges posed by new nuclear states like India and Pakistan. The treaties fail to address critical issues such as arbitrary withdrawal clauses and inadequate verification systems, undermining their effectiveness in achieving global nuclear disarmament.


Shades Of Brown: The Law Of Skin Color, Trina Jones Apr 2000

Shades Of Brown: The Law Of Skin Color, Trina Jones

Duke Law Journal

Because antidiscrimination efforts have focused primarily on race, courts have largely ignored discrimination within racial classifications on the basis of skin color. In this Article, Professor Jones brings light to this area by examining the historical and contemporary significance of skin color in the United States. She argues that discrimination based on skin color, or colorism, is a present reality and predicts that this form of discrimination will assume increasing significance in the future as current understandings of race and racial classifications disintegrate. She maintains that the legal system must develop a firm understanding of colorism in order for the …

Working Both (Positivist) Ends Toward A New (Pragmatist) Middle In Environmental Law, J.B. A. Ruhl Apr 2000

Working Both (Positivist) Ends Toward A New (Pragmatist) Middle In Environmental Law, J.B. A. Ruhl

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

This review of Daniel Farber's recent book Eco-pragmatism, in which he argues on behalf of taking more pragmatic approaches to the development of environmental policy, provides both the background necessary for appreciating Farber's union of ecosystem dynamics science and environmental pragmatism philosophy, and the basis for extending the new "eco-pragmatism" approach into natural resources conservation settings. Eco-pragmatism implies the intersection of two components-the eco, being the rich and developing field of ecosystem science and management, and the pragmatism, being the classical American pragmatist philosophy represented today in environmental settings through the emergence of environmental pragmatism philosophy. Unfortunately, Eco-pragmatism provides little …


Rationality In Law And Economics Scholarship, Jeanne L. Schroeder Apr 2000

Rationality In Law And Economics Scholarship, Jeanne L. Schroeder

Articles

Jeanne L. Schroeder critiques Richard Posner's conception of rationality in law and economics, arguing that his broad and evolving definition dilutes the concept, rendering it too vague and analytically weak. She advocates for a more nuanced approach that integrates psychological insights and acknowledges the limitations of traditional economic models. Schroeder emphasizes the need for empirical accuracy and theoretical rigor, challenging Posner's dismissal of behavioral economics and his reliance on evolutionary biology for explanations of irrational behavior.

Wrongful Death: Oklahoma Supreme Court Replaces Viability Standard With "Live Birth" Standard, Fatma Marouf Mar 2000

Wrongful Death: Oklahoma Supreme Court Replaces Viability Standard With "Live Birth" Standard, Fatma Marouf

Faculty Scholarship

Since the United States Supreme Court decision of Roe v. Wade, the line of viability for human fetuses has been consistently pushed back to earlier and earlier gestational ages. Granting "person" status to a nonviable fetus, even if only for purposes of the wrongful death statute, as the Oklahoma Supreme Court did in Nealis v. Baird, represents an important expansion of fetal rights. Although the court explicitly limited its decision to nonviable fetuses born alive, Judge Opala conceded that much of his opinion could apply equally to stillborn fetuses. The court's decision in Nealis raises important questions about …
