Constitutional Bait And Switch: Executive Reinterpretation Of Arms Control Treaties, David A. Koplow

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

A new constitutional crisis has been thrust upon the American body politic. The crisis arises from a dispute concerning the allocation of legal authority for the interpretation, and especially for the reinterpretation, of international agreements. Once a sleepy backwater reserved for specialized scholars, the issue of treaty interpretation has drawn the President and Congress into stark confrontation and generated splashy headlines.

Environmental Liens And Title Insurance, Robert S. Bozarth

University of Richmond Law Review

Increased concern for the environment and environmental protection laws have affected title insurance. To understand this effect, it is necessary to examine our environmental problems, the environmental laws and the nature of title insurance.

Conscientious Objection In South Africa: Governmental Paranoia And The Law Of Conscription, Lynn Berat

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

By the end of 1975, Mozambique and Angola' had gained independence; in 1980, Rhodesia became black majority ruled Zimbabwe.' Although it is currently occupied illegally by South Africa in contravention of both a United Nations Security Council Resolution and an advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice,' even Namibia (also known as South West Africa) will soon become an independent state.' No longer surrounded by a buffer zone of white minority ruled states separating it from black ruled Africa, South Africa stands alone, the last outpost of white supremacy on the continent.

Amidst all of these developments, the South …

Military Contractors Who Comply With Elements Of Government Contractor Defense Are Immune From Products Liability Suits Stemming From Design Defects., Matthew J. Sullivan

St. Mary's Law Journal

In Boyle v. United Technologies Corp., the United States Supreme Court held military contractors who comply with the elements of the government contractor defense are immune from products liability suits stemming from design defects. Lower courts consider the government contractor defense to be a combination of two separate defenses. The first is the well-settled contract specification defense which eliminates liability for contractors who properly follow client supplied specifications. The second defense is the doctrine of shared sovereign immunity shielding the contractor from liability based on public policy concerns.

In Boyle, the Court held defective design of military equipment will not …

Outlaw Blues, Suzanna Sherry

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

Mark Tushnet's new book ("Red, White, and Blue: A Critical Analysis of Constitutional Law") is an example of how too many layers of theoretical detachment can obscure truly innovative scholarship. His fervent insistence that he can do no more than deconstruct existing constitutional jurisprudence detracts from the significant positive contributions of Red, White, and Blue. One purpose of this review is thus to rescue Tushnet from himself, and his optimism from his nihilism.

Character And Community: Rispetto As A Virtue In The Tradition Of Italian-American Lawyers, Thomas L. Shaffer, Mary M. Shaffer

Journal Articles

Our project is to contemplate a discrete piece of applied ethics in the American legal profession, a piece of what one might call Italian-American legal ethics. We propose to describe a moral value for which we will use the Italian word rispetto. Our understanding of rispetto is that it is a virtue, a good habit, through which the person learns, practices, teaches, and remembers his place within the family. We will argue here that the practice of this virtue will allow a modern lawyer to be in and of his or her civic and professional community without loss of dignity …

Covert Operations, Lori Fisler Damrosch

Faculty Scholarship

As the Constitution begins its third century, the system of congressional oversight of covert action is only in its second decade. In the ancient history of covert action – before the intelligence oversight reforms of the l 970s – Congress did not involve itself in covert operations. After giving the Central Intelligence Agency standing authority to "perform such other functions and duties related to intelligence affecting the national security as the National Security Council may from time to time direct," Congress paid little attention to what the Executive did under this authority. The era of congressional noninvolvement came to an …

A Barrel Without Hoops: The Impact Of Counterterrorism On Israel's Legal Culture, Pnina Lahav

Faculty Scholarship

"'Israel's Defense Forces without law is like a barrel without hoops.'"

Terrorism challenges basic notions of Justice and Law. It demoralizes the State by exposing the inability of its institutions to protect life and liberty. It is the tool of desperados, whose devotion to a given cause has dehydrated their conscience, for whom no means is too ruthless in the struggle to attain the end. Once a society has tasted terrorism, its members expect to be struck anytime, anywhere, and for no reason other than their membership in that society. Only through tremendous inner strength can a society exposed to …

Reconciling Collective Bargaining With Employee Supervision Of Management, Michael C. Harper

Faculty Scholarship

The realities of economic organization in modern industrial states pose a critical dilemma for all who care about democratic ideals. Technological developments and attendant complicated divisions of work have enabled these states to transform their citizens' standards of living; such developments have also, however, brought hierarchical economic organizations' that are unresponsive to the influence of most individual employees. A society that claims to be democratic cannot ignore this condition.² Enhancing individuals' control over their own lives requires institutions that will facilitate democratic decisionmaking about economic production as well as governmental authority.

This Article contributes to thought about such institutions …
