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 …

New Players For The Old Tobacco Game: The Czech Republic And Romania; It's Time To Change The Rules, Susan Meyer Jan 1997

New Players For The Old Tobacco Game: The Czech Republic And Romania; It's Time To Change The Rules, Susan Meyer

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Cigarette and tobacco advertisements have become a part of life in the Czech Republic and Romania. In the Czech Republic, Camel cigarettes, manufactured by R.J. Reynolds, sponsored weddings in which taxis bearing the Camel logo transported guests from the wed- ding to the reception.' In Romania, Kent cigarettes, manufactured by British and American Tobacco Company (BAT), sponsored the ex- tremely popular television show "Dallas."3 Unfortunately, the health consequences of cigarette use, which lead to the annual death of three million people around the world,4 have also become a part of daily life. In 1995, almost 20% of the Czech Republic's …

Are Private Remedies In Domestic Courts Essential For International Trade Agreements To Perform Constitutional Functions With Respect To Sub-Federal Governments?, Matt Schaefer Jan 1997

Are Private Remedies In Domestic Courts Essential For International Trade Agreements To Perform Constitutional Functions With Respect To Sub-Federal Governments?, Matt Schaefer

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

The term constitutionalism is increasingly discussed in the context of international trade agreements. A prominent example is Professor Petersmann's writings on the constitutional functions that trade agree- ments could serve by limiting governmental discretion to take welfare- reducing protectionist measures against the long-term interests of a nation and contrary to individual economic liberty.' The absence of such protectionist constraints and foreign trade rights in domestic con- stitutions can be mitigated (and already is mitigated somewhat) through the development of international trade rules and institutions.

Dispute Resolution As A Catalyst For Economic Integration And An Agent For Deepening Integration: Nafta And Mercosur?, Cherie O'Neal Taylor Jan 1997

Dispute Resolution As A Catalyst For Economic Integration And An Agent For Deepening Integration: Nafta And Mercosur?, Cherie O'Neal Taylor

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

An economic integration arrangement between nations cannot exist without the creation of the necessary institutions. Any free trade, customs union or common market agreement1 must have, at a minimum, political institutions and a dispute settlement mechanism. The political institutions are necessary to allow the countries to reach decisions about how to implement the treaty obligations and objec- tives and to oversee that implementation. The dispute settlement mechanism is needed to resolve disputes that may arise over the meaning and application of the agreement's legal obligations and objectives. A dispute settlement mechanism is crucial to the viability of an economic integration …

Networks In International Economic Integration: Fragmented States And The Dilemmas Of Neo-Liberalism, Sol Picciotto Jan 1997

Networks In International Economic Integration: Fragmented States And The Dilemmas Of Neo-Liberalism, Sol Picciotto

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Current discussions of "globalization" afford an opportunity to. reflect on the development of the modern international system and its governance as well as to evaluate prospects and strategies for the fu- ture. However, the term "globalization" is ambiguous. It conceals di- verse and sometimes conflicting trends and strategies; it appears to project a post-Cold War optimism of increasing global unity and pros- pects for a new world order based on a strengthened framework of international institutions. Nonetheless, tendencies towards fragmen- tation exist, in addition to an increasing awareness of diversity and, perhaps, global disorder. Certainly, efforts are being made to …

Why Has The Fcpa Prospered, Lee C. Buchheit, Ralph Reisner

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

The international reaction to the Helms-Burton Act has been fierce.7 But even while the Helms-Burton debate has been raging, an earlier iece of U.S. legislation, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA or Act), has garnered unexpected flattery from some of the same countries that have been so vigorous in denouncing the Helms-Burton Act. There are two pos- sible explanations for these different reactions.

Foundation-Building For Western Hemispheric Integration, Frederick M. Abbott Jan 1997

Foundation-Building For Western Hemispheric Integration, Frederick M. Abbott

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

The United States is embarked upon an ambitious program of western hemispheric economic integration about which its domestic body politic is decidedly ambivalent. The process in which the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was approved in 1993 re- vealed deep divisions between the major political parties and their various interest group constituencies concerning the appropriate scope of an economic integration agenda. The Mexican peso crisis that began in December 1994 provoked a deep crisis of confidence regarding Mexico's readiness to participate in a mature economic partnership with the United States and Canada. Subsequent revela- tions relating to corruption infecting …

Invoking The U.S. Attorney-Client Privilege: Japanese Corporate Quasi-Lawyers Deserve Protection In U.S. Courts Too, Jason Marin Jan 1997

Invoking The U.S. Attorney-Client Privilege: Japanese Corporate Quasi-Lawyers Deserve Protection In U.S. Courts Too, Jason Marin

Fordham International Law Journal

This Note discusses whether the attorney-client privilege applies to Japanese in-house legal personnel who are not members of any country's bar.

Part II examines case law and commentary on the issue of applying the privilege to non-US attorneys who are not admitted to any bar. Part III argues that the arguments for applying the attorney-client privilege to non-US, non-bar in-house legal personnel are particularly effective considering the structure of the Japanese legal system. This …
