Untold Stories: Gender-Related Persecution And Asylum In South Africa, Lindsay M. Harris Jan 2009

Untold Stories: Gender-Related Persecution And Asylum In South Africa, Lindsay M. Harris

Journal Articles

South Africa receives more asylum seekers than any other country in the world.1 United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres proclaimed, “If you look at the policy and legal statutes of South Africa, refugees enjoy one of the most advanced and progressive systems of protection in the world today.”2 Increasing numbers of women seek South Africa’s protection. In 2006, 20.2% of asylum seekers were women; a significant increase from previous years.3 Given South Africa’s prominence in the region, its handling of female asylees and gender-related persecution claims influences the adjudication of these claims regionally and even worldwide.4

A Market In Litigation Risk, Jonathan T. Molot Jan 2009

A Market In Litigation Risk, Jonathan T. Molot

University of Chicago Law Review

Why do people hate litigation? Corporate America, in particular, complains that litigation is too expensive, time consuming, and unpredictable. But these are not distinguishing features of litigation. When a company launches a new product or enters into a new business line, it may face a process that is just as expensive, time consuming, and risky as litigation. The company will invest time and money in product development and market research and will bear the risk that the product ultimately will fail and its efforts will result in a loss. What makes litigation seem so daunting, and distinguishes litigation risk from …

Staying Alive: Public Interest Law In Contemporary Latin America, Stephen Meili Jan 2009

Staying Alive: Public Interest Law In Contemporary Latin America, Stephen Meili

Articles

This paper explores the current state of public interest lawyering in three Latin American countries: Argentina, Brazil and Chile. Based on a series of open-ended interviews with lawyers, judges and social movement activists, it compares public interest lawyering in these countries now with how it was practiced when the author interviewed some of the same individuals in the early to mid 1990s. Its analysis is set within the context of important geopolitical and socio-legal phenomena: the current global economic crisis and the judicialization of politics and constitutionalization of rights that has swept across the region over the past two decades. …


Indigent Defense In America: Racially Or Geographically Unjust?, Lisa Karen Akre Jan 2009

Indigent Defense In America: Racially Or Geographically Unjust?, Lisa Karen Akre

Honors Program Theses

The purpose of my research is to investigate the link between indigent defense funding and race. First, I explain the various approaches that states have implemented to deliver legal defense to the indigent. Second, I describe the current lack of funding and its consequences. Third, I examine what effect race has on the indigent defense system. Finally, based on the conclusions drawn from examining both race and funding for indigent defense, I evaluate the effectiveness of the delivery of indigent defense to individual states and regions within the United States.


Constitutional Challenges In The 21st Century, S. B. Sinha Jan 2009

Constitutional Challenges In The 21st Century, S. B. Sinha

National Law School of India Review

In this illuminating piece, learned Supreme Court Judge, Justice S.B. Sinha examines the diversity of constitutional challenges facing the Supreme Court in the post-liberalization era. While acknowledging the importance of adhering to the constitutional design of separation of powers, Justice Sinha justifies and elucidates the need for a pro-active judiciary to ensure good governance. He provides an analytical elaboration on the legal dimensions of globalization by critically looking at the judicial approach towards "emerging actors" like multinational corporations. He further illustrates on the impact and influence of globalization on crucial essential public services and the apex court's response to the …


Ten Years After Burrow V. Arce: The Current State Of Attorney Fee Forfeiture., Jeffrey A. Webb, Blake W. Stribling Jan 2009

Ten Years After Burrow V. Arce: The Current State Of Attorney Fee Forfeiture., Jeffrey A. Webb, Blake W. Stribling

St. Mary's Law Journal

“Extreme [attorney] misconduct may warrant an extreme remedy.” Fee forfeiture certainly constitutes an extreme remedy, at least compared to the ordinary remedy for violation of a legal duty. But neither the degree to which the remedy is extreme nor how extreme the misconduct must first be before the forfeiture becomes appropriate is apparent in light of the Texas Supreme Court’s decision in Burrow v. Arce. Understanding the confusion which has arisen with regard to Burrow’s impact depends in large measure on a thorough evaluation of (1) the basis for the court’s determinations relating to forfeiture, (2) the sources from which …

The Public Value Of Settlement, Samuel Issacharoff, Robert H. Klonoff Jan 2009

The Public Value Of Settlement, Samuel Issacharoff, Robert H. Klonoff

Faculty Articles

The article focuses on the claim of author Owen M. Fiss against the public value of civil settlement. It stresses the concern of Fiss on settlement in class actions and other aggregate cases. For Fiss, settlements are problematic due to some reasons including the plaintiffs' relative lack of power, the incapability of settlement to ensure ongoing court involvement, and the failure of settlement to achieve justice. Also emphasized is the tradeoff between the quotidian concern of dispute resolution for the minor annoyances of every life and the public values of the important cases.

Further Research On Profitable Globalization And The Ethical Dilemma Of U.S. Job Loss, James G. Hendee Jan 2009

Further Research On Profitable Globalization And The Ethical Dilemma Of U.S. Job Loss, James G. Hendee

Senior Honors Theses and Projects

In theory, profitable globalization practices in developed, industrialized countries share a symbiotic relationship with cheaper offshore human resources in third-world, poor, or underdeveloped nations. A short case study of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. is given, which examines Wal-mart’s increased use of the cheaper Chinese workforce. By seeking out a lower cost labor force in a yet developing country, an ethical dilemma arises in that the business in the industrialized nation must ignore or disregard the job loss this decision creates within the borders of the home nation. Political and philosophical differences have led opponents to create an anti-thesis known as anti-globalization. …


Educational Workshops On Settlement And Dispute Resolution: Another Tool For Self-Represented Litigants In Family Court, Jim Hilbert Jan 2009

Educational Workshops On Settlement And Dispute Resolution: Another Tool For Self-Represented Litigants In Family Court, Jim Hilbert

Faculty Scholarship

This article outlines the need to help self-represented litigants (SLRs or pro se parties) understand more about how they might resolve their disputes through settlement. The article discusses the remarkable growth in the number of people representing themselves in the legal system, particularly in family court. To supplement the existing support system for SLRs, the article proposes including settlement and negotiation educational workshops for SRLs so that they can better understand 1) the prominent role of settlement in our legal system, 2) their power within the settlement process, and 3) some fundamental guidance on how they might approach settlement negotiations. …
