The Licensing Of Foreign Legal Consultants In The United States, Carol A. Needham Jan 1997

The Licensing Of Foreign Legal Consultants In The United States, Carol A. Needham

Fordham International Law Journal

The focus in this Essay is on the regulations which have been adopted in the various states within the United States to recognize lawyers licensed in other countries. As the financial and commercial markets move beyond national boundaries to become global markets, lawyers practicing in the United States will increasingly be called upon to analyze and understand international law and the laws of countries outside the United States. Adopting regulations allowing foreign legal consultants to practice law will permit US lawyers to better serve their current clients. In addition, US lawyers will more easily obtain access to markets for legal …

Law And Religion In Israel And Iran: How The Integration Of Secular And Spiritual Laws Affects Human Rights And The Potential For Violence, S. I. Strong

Michigan Journal of International Law

Part I of this article provides a brief sketch of the principles of the two majority religions at issue in this discussion and an overview of the history of both Israel and Iran. It explains why each nation has chosen to structure itself as it has and why the imposition of U.S.-style secularism would be an inappropriate method of dealing with the religio-legal conflict in the two societies.

Of Substantial Interest: Third Parties Under Gatt, Chi Carmody Jan 1997

Of Substantial Interest: Third Parties Under Gatt, Chi Carmody

Michigan Journal of International Law

This article's examination of the status of third parties under GATT is important for several reasons, one of which is the proliferation of third party participation as demonstrated by Bananas III. A second reason for its importance is that there has been little written about third parties under GATT. This neglect stands in sharp contrast to ample literature on the related subject of greater public participation in the WTO. The oversight could be a function of GATT dispute resolution, which did not always enjoy the level of public attention it garners today. Until recently the GATT system handled no …

Translating & Interpreting Foreign Statutes, Andrew N. Adler Jan 1997

Translating & Interpreting Foreign Statutes, Andrew N. Adler

Michigan Journal of International Law

This article aspires to address academics and anyone who must translate or interpret foreign statutes without previous in-depth education in the alien language and law. To make matters more interesting, the author concentrates on the plight of the minority of judges who want to arrive at independently reasoned interpretations of foreign law when given the opportunity. Most judges strive mightily to avoid even having to glance at foreign laws. And, when it becomes absolutely necessary to read a foreign code, most judges and litigators retain the centuries-old habit of relying too slavishly on tendentious expert testimony. Furthermore, while most states …
