The Forty-Fourth Session Of The Un Sub-Commission On Prevention Of Discrimination And Protection Of Minorities And The Special Session Of The Commission On Human Rights On The Situation In The Former Yugoslavia, Alya Z. Kayal, Penny L. Parker, David Weissbrodt

Articles

The 1992 meeting of the UN Sub-Commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities is chronicled, along with the results of the special session held by the UN Human Rights Commission on Yugoslavia. The work of the Sub-Commission included surveying human rights compliance in various member countries, mandating compliance for Bosnia-Herzegovina, East Timor, Bougainville and Haiti, and discussing issues such as homosexual discrimination as human rights violations. The Commission took evidence on abuses in Yugoslavia and resolved to take action to force compliance.


Sentencing Commissions And Their Guidelines, Michael Tonry Jan 1993

Sentencing Commissions And Their Guidelines, Michael Tonry

Articles

Sentencing commissions, administrative agencies charged to develop and promulgate standards for sentencing, were first proposed early in the 1970s and first established in 1978. Of four recent major sentencing reform approaches-the others being parole guidelines, voluntary sentencing guidelines, and statutory determinate sentences-only sentencing commission systems continue to be created. Despite controversies associated with the highly unpopular federal guidelines, commissions and their guidelines have achieved their primary goals. Some commissions have achieved specialized technical competence, have adopted comprehensive policy approaches, and have to a degree insulated policy from short-term political pressures. Guidelines have reduced disparities and gender and sex differences in …

Major Developments At The Un Commission On Human Rights In 1992, Joe W. (Chip) Pitts Iii, David Weissbrodt

Articles

The forty-eighth session of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, the principal human rights organ of the United Nations, occurred at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland from 27 January to 7 March 1992.' The session took place at a time of unprecedented invigoration of the United Nations in general, and demonstrated both the challenges and the opportunities facing the organization and its primary human rights arm in the world community today.


The Law Of Legitimacy: An Instrument Of Procreative Power, Mary Louise Fellows Jan 1993

The Law Of Legitimacy: An Instrument Of Procreative Power, Mary Louise Fellows

Articles

The purpose of this Article is to explore how inheritance law, through its reliance on the laws regarding legitimacy, affects the construction of sexuality and procreative power in our society. The crucial importance of female monogamy in a private property regime is well-recognized. It is the only means by which a man can assure himself that his wealth will be inherited by his offspring. The enforcement of female monogamy by men enhances a man’s procreative power because it provides the basis for his claim of paternity.

The Administrative Claim Prerequisite To Suit Against The United States Under The Admiralty Jurisdiction Extension Act, Craig H. Allen Jan 1993

The Administrative Claim Prerequisite To Suit Against The United States Under The Admiralty Jurisdiction Extension Act, Craig H. Allen

Articles

The Admiralty Jurisdiction Extension Act (AJEA) confers federal admiralty jurisdiction over all causes of action for vessel-caused damage done or consummated on land. In extending admiralty jurisdiction to land-based damage, the Act not only opened admiralty courts to a new class of litigants, it also enlarged the range of possible claims which could be brought against the United States under the Suits in Admiralty Act (SAA) or the Public Vessels Act (PVA). At the same time, however, an important prerequisite to suit against the government was incorporated into the AJEA that is absent from the SAA or PVA: where an …

Letter To Judge Harry Edwards, James J. White Jan 1993

Letter To Judge Harry Edwards, James J. White

Articles

Dear Harry: I write to second your statements concerning the disjunction between legal education and the legal profession and also to quibble with you. By examining the faculty, the curriculum, and the research agenda at Michigan, your school and mine, I hope to illustrate the ways in which you are right and to suggest other ways in which you and your clerk informants may be too pessimistic.


Preference Conundrums, James J. White, Daniel Israel Jan 1993

Preference Conundrums, James J. White, Daniel Israel

Articles

Every law teacher and many law students and practitioners understand the intellectual sport to be found in Section 547 on preference law. Because the preference rules are so intricate, rigorously logical-but really not logical-they command more than their fair attention, not only in law school but also in continuing legal education and even in the courts. Our purpose in this article is not to answer any of the difficult questions or to give a global explanation of preference law. Rather it is to confront a few of the conundrums in Section 547 and to follow the paths of those conundrums …


Cornerstones Of The Judicial Process, Jerold H. Israel Jan 1993

Cornerstones Of The Judicial Process, Jerold H. Israel

Articles

Under our federated system of government, each state and the federal government have their own criminal justice processes. The federal system must comply with the constitutional prerequisites set forth in the Bill of Rights, and the state systems must comply with those Bill of Rights' provisions made applicable to the states by the Fourteenth Amendment,1 but those constitutional prerequisites allow considerable room for variation from one jurisdiction to another. In many respects, the fifty states and the federal government have used that leeway to produce considerable diversity in their respective criminal justice processes. At the same time, however, one can …

The Parameters 4-(12,6,6) And Related T-Designs, Donald Kreher, Dominique Caen, Sylvia Hobart Jan 1993

The Parameters 4-(12,6,6) And Related T-Designs, Donald Kreher, Dominique Caen, Sylvia Hobart

Articles

It is shown that a 4-(12,6,6) design, if it exists, must be rigid. The intimate relationship of such a design with 4-(12,5,4) designs and 5-(12,6,3) designs is presented and exploited. In this endeavor we found: (i) 30 nonisomorphic 4-(12,5,4) designs; (ii) all cyclic 3-(11,5,6) designs; (iii) all 5-(12,6,3) designs preserved by an element of order three fixing no points and no blocks; and (iv) all 5-(12,6,3) designs preserved by an element of order two fixing 2 points.


On Quasi-Permutation Representations Of Finite Groups, J. M. Burns, Brendan Goldsmith, B. Hartley, R. Sandling Jan 1993

On Quasi-Permutation Representations Of Finite Groups, J. M. Burns, Brendan Goldsmith, B. Hartley, R. Sandling

Articles

In [6], Wong defined a quasi-permutation group of degree n to be a finite group G of automorphisms of an n-dimensional complex vector space such that every element of G has non-negative integral trace. The terminology derives from the fact that if G is a finite group of permutations of a set ω of size n, and we think of G as acting on the complex vector space with basis ω, then the trace of an element g ∈ G is equal to the number of points of ω fixed by g. In [6] and [7], Wong studied the extent …

James Madison And Public Choice At Gucci Gulch: A Procedural Defense Of Tax Expenditures And Tax Institutions, Edward A. Zelinsky Jan 1993

James Madison And Public Choice At Gucci Gulch: A Procedural Defense Of Tax Expenditures And Tax Institutions, Edward A. Zelinsky

Articles

Few academic doctrines can claim the intellectual and political success of tax expenditure analysis. In roughly a generation's time, Professor Surrey's procedural and substantive critique of tax subsidies has become entrenched in the law school curriculum and in legal scholarship. More impressively, the tax expenditure concept has been enshrined in federal law and become part of the daily discourse of the national budget process.
