Advances And Missed Opportunities In The International Prosecution Of Gender-Based Crimes, Susana Sacouto
Advances And Missed Opportunities In The International Prosecution Of Gender-Based Crimes, Susana Sacouto
Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals
INTRODUCTION: In the past decade, and particularly since 1998, there has been an incredible transformation in the treatment of sex-based and gender- based violence' in the fields of international humanitarian law and international criminal law. Before this, crimes committed exclusively or disproportionately against women and girls, in times of conflict, were largely either ignored, or at most, treated as secondary to other crimes. Despite the fact that rape and other forms of sexual violence had been widely reported during World War HI, for instance, the crime of rape was not expressly included in either the London Charter, establishing the International …

Power As A Factor In Lawyers' Ethical Deliberation, Susan Carle
Power As A Factor In Lawyers' Ethical Deliberation, Susan Carle
Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals
A fundamental disagreement among legal ethics scholars concerns the difference between client-centered and justice-centered approaches to lawyers' ethical obligations. Advocates of client-centered approaches put lawyers' duty to the client first. Justice-centered theorists critique the elevation of the client's interests over other important concerns lawyers affect through the work they do on behalf of clients. Scholars who adopt justice-centered approaches argue that lawyers' ethical obligations should be analyzed with a paramount focus on achieving justice. Legal ethicists often view these two approaches as inconsistent with each other, but I argue in this Article that they are not necessarily so. Building on …

Sexual Abuse Of Women In Prison: A Modern Corollary Of Slavery, Brenda V. Smith
Sexual Abuse Of Women In Prison: A Modern Corollary Of Slavery, Brenda V. Smith
Project on Addressing Prison Rape - Articles
This paper addresses the sexual abuse of women in custody as a more contemporary manifestation of slavery and discusses the congruencies and the differences that exist between the sexual abuse of women in custody and slavery. The paper charts the history of the parallel abolition and prison reform movements and examines their divergent paths arguing that the women's movement abandonment of prison advocacy has harmed the women in prison movement. The article concludes that the embrace of human rights norms has assisted in providing new avenues for redressing the sexual abuse of women in custody.

My Summer Vacation At The European Commission, Jonathan Baker
Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals
Among the more than 100 jurisdictions with active competition policy regimes today, the United States has the distinction of starting first, creating the most extensive set of judicial precedents, and possessing the largest and most experienced enforcement institutions. Antitrust institutions in the United States have long stood at the summit on any scale of international prestige and influence in the competition policy field. Yet any such ranking would also undoubtedly indicate that during the last decade or so, the antitrust institutions of the European Union have grown in size and sophistication to the point where they are comparably respected and …

Low-Income Taxpayers And The Modernized Irs: A View From The Trenches, Nancy Abramowitz, Janet Spragens
Low-Income Taxpayers And The Modernized Irs: A View From The Trenches, Nancy Abramowitz, Janet Spragens
Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals
This article examines the continuing effects on low-income taxpayers of the 1998 Internal Revenue Service reorganization and computer modernization of the agency. Specifically, the article highlights the severe hardships that have been experienced by that segment of the taxpayer population resulting from agency efforts to streamline resolution of postfiling disputes. Those efforts include acceleration of the administrative process, centralization of agency function, elimination of local contracts, and increasing reliance on computer-generated correspondence. The authors believe that the net result for many taxpayers has been the trading of fairness for administrative efficiency and the contraction - and often denial - of …
Constitutionalizing Tobacco: The Ambivalence Of European Federalism, Fernanda Nicola
Constitutionalizing Tobacco: The Ambivalence Of European Federalism, Fernanda Nicola
Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals
The Treaty Establishing the European Community announces in EC TREATY art. 5.1. the principle that the powers of the European Community are limited to those specifically conferred on it. However, experience and judicial interpretation have shown that, in practice, the allocation of power between the Community decision maker and Member States is neither clear nor immutable. In its Treaty Establishing a Constitution for Europe, the Community attempts to clarify the allocation of competences. Article III-278 of the Draft E.U. Constitution (Public Health Article) is a public health provision that expressly refers to the regulation of tobacco. To many, the Public …

Speech And Strife, Robert L. Tsai
Speech And Strife, Robert L. Tsai
Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals
The essay strives for a better understanding of the myths, symbols, categories of power, and images deployed by the Supreme Court to signal how we ought to think about its authority. Taking examples from free speech jurisprudence, the essay proceeds in three steps. First, Tsai argues that the First Amendment constitutes a deep source of cultural authority for the Court. As a result, linguistic and doctrinal innovation in the free speech area have been at least as bold and imaginative as that in areas like the Commerce Clause. Second, in turning to cognitive theory, he distinguishes between formal legal argumentation …

Facilitating Prior Informed Consent Context Of Genetic Resources And Traditional Knowledge, Anne Perrault
Facilitating Prior Informed Consent Context Of Genetic Resources And Traditional Knowledge, Anne Perrault
Sustainable Development Law & Policy
This paper traces the evolution of free prior informed consent (“FPIC”) and describes the importance of FPIC to achieving the objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity (“CBD”). It briefly highlights elements of current approaches to obtaining FPIC from national governments and local communities, identifies limitations to obtaining FPIC, and provides examples of how the Bonn Guidelines do and do not respond to these limitations. The paper does not provide a detailed analysis of all issues related to implementation of FPIC, but rather highlights issues that will, hopefully, promote constructive discussions to advance progress on the implementation of FPIC.
