Toward A Community Bill Of Rights: The European Community Charter Of Fundamental Social Rights, Mary Frances Dominick

Fordham International Law Journal

This Article considers the Commission's initial step toward a Community bill of rights-its 1979 proposal for accession to the European Convention. That proposal was prompted in large measure by a 1974 decision of the German Constitutional Court. Due to the importance of this rulings for Community human rights jurisprudence, their significance and substance are examined in some detail in Part II of the Article. In Part III, the Council of Europe's European Social Charter is contrasted with the Community Charter, the former document having been signed, though not ratified, by all twelve Community Member States.

Part II presents the factual background of Gold Fields and the legal analysis of the decision. Part III argues that the Second Circuit incorrectly exercised subject matter jurisdiction over the foreign securities claim. This Comment concludes that U.S. courts should decline to exercise subject matter jurisdiction in securities cases where domestic interests are …

Fordham International Law Journal

This Article discusses the Community directive on insider dealing strictly from the point of view of Community law, and more specifically of what may be called the Community's constitutional law - the powers of the institutions involved in the making and in the implementation of law - rather than from the point of view of insider trading as an economic phenomenon and the ways it is perceived and dealt with in Community law.

Law School's Pro Bono Role: A Duty To Require Student Public Service, Frederick J. Martin Iii

Fordham Urban Law Journal

The immense legal needs of the indigent are not being met. Pro bono work is the responsibility of every lawyer, but most lawyers do not do any pro bono work. The author argues that law schools have a responsibility not only to nurture student interest in pro bono work but also to develop students’ abilities to provide legal services to the indigent. The author proposes that law schools require students to participate in programs that provide legal services to the poor, either through a private organization or through a clinical program. The author contends that the latter method would be …

Constitutional Rules Of Community Law In Eec Competition Cases, David Edward
