Does A Cultural Barrier To Intellectual Property Trade Exist? The Japanese Example, Toshiko Takenaka Jan 1996

Does A Cultural Barrier To Intellectual Property Trade Exist? The Japanese Example, Toshiko Takenaka

Articles

What is the so-called "cultural barrier to intellectual property trade?" No definition for this phrase readily came to me when I began exploring the topic. Japanese intellectual property scholars and professionals strongly suspect that their U.S. counterparts, who find institutional or economic explanations for discrepancies between European and American business customs, nevertheless tend to attribute the differences between Japanese and American business practices to cultural differences. Three popular arguments offered to substantiate this "cultural barrier to intellectual property trade" theory are: (1) the application of the concepts of competition and monopoly to intangibles such as technology and ideas is foreign …

Taking Responsibility: Law's Relation To Justice And D'Amato's Deconstructive Practice, Arthur J. Jacobson Jan 1996

Taking Responsibility: Law's Relation To Justice And D'Amato's Deconstructive Practice, Arthur J. Jacobson

Articles

The Essay challenges the conventional view of law's relationship with justice by defending the indeterminacy thesis, arguing that law enhances the opportunity for taking responsibility, contrary to the usual perspective that sees justice as liability and law as defining liability. It critiques both D'Amato's belief in absolute justice and Derrida's assignment of determinacy to law, asserting that both underestimate law's capacity for justice. The Essay distinguishes between assigned and taken responsibility, advocating for a dynamic conception of law that aligns with substantive justice.

Text, Purpose, Capacity And Albertson's: A Response To Professor Geier, Edward A. Zelinsky Jan 1996

Text, Purpose, Capacity And Albertson's: A Response To Professor Geier, Edward A. Zelinsky

Articles

In a recent issue of the Florida Tar Review, Professor Deborah Geier added yet another chapter to the running commentary on the Albertson's litigation, using that case to demonstrate her theories of statutory purpose and to criticize, in particular, statutory textualism as she conceives of it. Professor Geier correctly identifies the underlying issues in Albertson's-the role of statutory purpose, the differing institutional capacities of the Congress and the courts, fidelity to statutory text-but resolves those issues in ways that prompt me to rebuttal.

While I commend Professor Geier for her effort to explicate many important questions about the Code and …


Some Realism About Legal Surrealism, Jeanne L. Schroeder Jan 1996

Some Realism About Legal Surrealism, Jeanne L. Schroeder

Articles

The article challenges the traditional understanding of possession in property law, arguing that the concept is increasingly inadequate due to its reliance on physical metaphors that fail to account for intangible assets and noncustodial interests. It advocates for a shift toward an abstract, Hegelian approach, emphasizing legal recognition and control over physical custody, particularly in the context of modern commercial transactions governed by the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC).


Death And Transfiguration: The Myth That The U.C.C. Killed "Property", Jeanne L. Schroeder Jan 1996

Death And Transfiguration: The Myth That The U.C.C. Killed "Property", Jeanne L. Schroeder

Articles

The article examines the evolution of property concepts in legal frameworks, particularly focusing on the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) and its treatment of title in sales transactions. It argues that while the U.C.C. attempted to shift from traditional notions of property as a unitary right to a more process-oriented approach, it did not fully abandon the underlying imagery of property as a tangible, identifiable object. The analysis critiques the common law's emphasis on title and explores the idea that property should be viewed as a legal relation among subjects rather than a fixed, physical entity. The article proposes a reinterpretation …


Contingency Fee Abuses, Ethical Mandates, And The Disciplinary System: The Case Against Case-By-Case Enforcement, Lester Brickman Jan 1996

Contingency Fee Abuses, Ethical Mandates, And The Disciplinary System: The Case Against Case-By-Case Enforcement, Lester Brickman

Articles

Contingency fee abuses are attracting increased public attention. Particular interest is focused on the enormous contingency fees generated by mass tort litigation; in some cases, lawyers are collecting multi-million dollar fees essentially for performing paralegal work. In addition, the relationship between the availability of enormous contingency fees and the amassing of thousands of claims of injury in order to dramatically shift the litigation dynamic in favor of plaintiffs is becoming increasingly apparent. For example, the possibility that major ongoing massive litigations, such as those involving silicone breast implants and the as yet nascent litigation involving the contraceptive Norplant, have much …


Bifurcation Of Undersecured Claims In Bankruptcy, David G. Carlson Jan 1996

Bifurcation Of Undersecured Claims In Bankruptcy, David G. Carlson

Articles

The article examines the legal implications of the Supreme Court's decision in Dewsnup v. Timm on the bifurcation of undersecured claims in bankruptcy law. It critiques the ruling for creating confusion and potential inequities, arguing that it may diverge from the intent of the Bankruptcy Code. The analysis highlights the need for clearer guidelines to ensure consistent and fair treatment of secured and unsecured claims across different bankruptcy chapters.


The Original Constitution And Our Origins, John O. Mcginnis Jan 1996

The Original Constitution And Our Origins, John O. Mcginnis

Articles

The question why we should be bound by the original Constitution often is framed as why we should be guided by the dead hand of the past. The notion that this venerable document should be viewed as a possibly unfortunate constraint on our present potential as a society contains an implicit premise about man in history. According to this view, it is open to man to make his history in each generation through some collective cultural process. Given such a premise, it seems plausible to believe that each generation should enjoy the opportunity to decide anew whether to submit to …


Art Speech, Marci A. Hamilton Jan 1996

Art Speech, Marci A. Hamilton

Articles

Although many scholars have been in favor of providing first amendment protection for art, no one has offered a justification for its constitutional protection suited to art's singular capacities. Rather, commentators and courts have been inclined to place art under the rubric of general speech, which limits protection to ideas and content. Professor Hamilton argues that art offers significantly more than its content and deserves first amendment protection tailored to its particular potential. Art enables individuals to experience unfamiliar worlds and thereby to gain new perspectives on the prevailing status quo, including the government's. It performs this function without exposing …

Chix Nix Bundle-O-Stix: A Feminist Critique Of The Disaggregation Of Property, Jeanne L. Schroeder Nov 1995

Chix Nix Bundle-O-Stix: A Feminist Critique Of The Disaggregation Of Property, Jeanne L. Schroeder

Articles

Jeanne Schroeder's article critiques the traditional "bundle of sticks" metaphor of property theory, arguing that it erodes property's unity and essence. She integrates insights from Hegel and Lacan to propose a more cohesive understanding of property, emphasizing its role in mediating human interactions and freedom. Schroeder challenges gendered power dynamics in property theory and advocates for a feminist reimagining of property that transcends outdated metaphors.
