Choosing Heritage: A Comparative Analysis Of Choice Of Law Approaches In Nazi-Looted Art Cases, Elizabeth Bueche Dec 2024

Choosing Heritage: A Comparative Analysis Of Choice Of Law Approaches In Nazi-Looted Art Cases, Elizabeth Bueche

Journal of Civil Law Studies

The Nazis looted hundreds of thousands of pieces of art across Europe before and during World War II. Many of the victims and heirs of parties wrongfully dispossessed are still searching for their stolen art or, in some cases, are fighting in order to get it back. As seen in Cassirer v. Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection Foundation, choice of law—or determining the applicable substantive law that governs the dispute—can have enormous impacts on stolen art cases. This essay examines the pitfalls of using several choice of law approaches, such as comparative impairment, or more territorial-based approaches in stolen art cases. This essay …

Cultural And Societal Influences On Perceptions Of Police Legitimacy And Trust In Law Enforcement Among Minority Communities, Carmen A. Fry Sandoval Dec 2024

Cultural And Societal Influences On Perceptions Of Police Legitimacy And Trust In Law Enforcement Among Minority Communities, Carmen A. Fry Sandoval

Dissertations, Theses, and Projects

This thesis explores the cultural and societal influences that shape perceptions of police legitimacy and trust in law enforcement among minority communities in the United States, with a focus on Black and Latino populations. Grounded in both personal experience and scholarly analysis, the research examines how historical injustices, economic restructuring, demographic transitions, and modern policing practices intersect to affect community-police relations. Through a comprehensive literature review, this study analyzes key works on community policing in South Los Angeles, the deployment of less-lethal weapons, body-worn camera implementation, youth engagement programs, and community-driven violence prevention efforts. Findings reveal that systemic inequities and …


The Other War: The Evolution Of United States Psychological Warfare In The Vietnam War From 14 May 1965 To 11 September 1966, Brandon J. Libro Dec 2024

The Other War: The Evolution Of United States Psychological Warfare In The Vietnam War From 14 May 1965 To 11 September 1966, Brandon J. Libro

Masters Theses

The creation of the Joint United States Public Affairs Office (JUSPAO) on 14 May 1965 revitalized the psychological warfare (PSYWAR) campaign in Vietnam after decades of post-World War II drawdown and initiated a more targeted and efficient employment of psychological operations (PSYOP) throughout the American war effort. To understand the evolution of Vietnam-era PSYOP, it is imperative to explore the United States military’s implementation of PSYWAR and analyze how it changed throughout the conflict. The challenges the United States faced conducting the “other war” in Vietnam were evident from the start of its involvement in Vietnam, and the PSYWAR effort, …

The Unworthy And The Ungrateful: On The Mirroring Legal Patterns Of France, Québec, And Romania, Mircea Dan Bob-Bocșan, Anthony Matthew Dima Murphy Dec 2024

The Unworthy And The Ungrateful: On The Mirroring Legal Patterns Of France, Québec, And Romania, Mircea Dan Bob-Bocșan, Anthony Matthew Dima Murphy

Journal of Civil Law Studies

After initially borrowing the unworthiness-ingratitude pairing of the Napoleonic Code, the legal systems of Québec and Romania opted to expand the former by using the application range of the latter as an example, specifically in the field of legacies. Nonetheless, the two systems diverged greatly in readjusting the scope of the ingratitude doctrine: while the Québécois lawmaker chose to abolish the doctrine of ingratitude entirely, its Romanian counterpart opted to maintain it, giving rise to the possibility of overlapping rules. Consequently, the aims of our paper are twofold: on one hand, it seeks to determine the full extent of this …


Corporate Social Responsibility: A Tool To Ensure Environmental Protection, Natalie Blanc Dec 2024

Corporate Social Responsibility: A Tool To Ensure Environmental Protection, Natalie Blanc

Journal of Civil Law Studies

How does French tort law deal with environmental issues? Can it effectively do so, and how? Corporate social responsibility is one of tools developed by law in order to ensure environmental protection. Since its inception in the 70s, corporate social responsibility has undergone a transformation. From being purely voluntary, it has become mandatory. Several recent texts, including two European directives of 2022 and 2024, have imposed numerous obligations on companies in order to force them to develop a responsible and virtuous strategy, in other words, to anticipate and prevent the negative effects of their activities, particularly on the environment. This …


The Liability Of French Notaries And The Duty To Advise On Environmental Matters, Philippe Pierre Dec 2024

The Liability Of French Notaries And The Duty To Advise On Environmental Matters, Philippe Pierre

Journal of Civil Law Studies

The duty to advise on environmental matters is becoming increasingly important for French notaries, because the government is delegating more and more missions of ecological interest to the-min their capacity as public officers. The first aim of this note is to present and assess the duty of notaries to advise on environmental nuisances in connection with the sale or rental of immovables, which is one of the main causes of liability for notaries: this duty was recently revised and incorporated into the Civil Code. Secondly, the duty to advise will be discussed in cases where the properties for sale have …


The Compensation Of Environmental Damage Under French Law, Bernard Haftel Dec 2024

The Compensation Of Environmental Damage Under French Law, Bernard Haftel

Journal of Civil Law Studies

In 2016, to combat environmental damage, the French legislature introduced a new chapter in the Civil Code governing compensation for ecological damage through civil liability. The reform consolidated previous case law by significantly modifying the interpersonal logic of civil liability. A few years on, it is time to assess the effects of this reform.


A Conflict Of Classifications: The Curious Case Of The Transfer On Death Form In Louisiana Law, Brendan Cuti Dec 2024

A Conflict Of Classifications: The Curious Case Of The Transfer On Death Form In Louisiana Law, Brendan Cuti

Journal of Civil Law Studies

Louisiana courts have recently struggled with whether to recognize transfer-on-death forms for securities accounts as valid. Because these forms do not comply with Louisiana’s law of will formalities, they are incapable of transferring ownership of a decedent’s securities account under Louisiana law. However, some Louisiana courts have held that a decedent can circumvent Louisiana’s rule against nonprobate transfers by including a choice-of-law clause selecting another’s state law to govern the form. Still, other Louisiana courts have held that Louisiana’s rule against nonprobate transfers is a rule of public policy that cannot be avoided with a choice-of-law clause. This paper argues …


Choice-Of-Law For Employment Contracts: A Comparative Analysis Of Texas And Louisiana Approaches To The Enforceability Of Noncompete Agreements, Claire Monsour Dec 2024

Choice-Of-Law For Employment Contracts: A Comparative Analysis Of Texas And Louisiana Approaches To The Enforceability Of Noncompete Agreements, Claire Monsour

Journal of Civil Law Studies

Employment contracts that cross state lines often raise complex legal issues, particularly when they involve noncompete agreements. This article examines and compares the different approaches taken by Texas and Louisiana regarding the enforceability of non-compete agreements. Texas courts exercise broad discretion in deciding whether to enforce a parties’ choice-of-law provision, often leading to inconsistent and unpredictable outcomes in noncompete disputes. This approach undermines party autonomy, incentivizes forum shopping, and allows courts to manipulate outcomes based on unclear standards of “fundamental public policy.” Louisiana courts, on the other hand, are relatively consistent in their choice-of-law analyses in noncompete disputes. In contrast …


Legal Challenges Across State Lines: A Look Into Surrogacy Law In The United States, Taylor Paige Mutavdzic Dec 2024

Legal Challenges Across State Lines: A Look Into Surrogacy Law In The United States, Taylor Paige Mutavdzic

Journal of Civil Law Studies

This essay analyzes the challenges arising from the fragmented legal landscape of surrogacy in the United States, where inconsistent state laws and a lack of federal oversight create significant uncertainties. Through a hypothetical case involving a same-sex couple, Sally and Jane, the study examines key issues, including the determination of parental rights, the legal status of children born through surrogacy, and protections for surrogate mothers. The essay argues for a more cohesive and transparent legal framework to address these complexities and safeguard the rights and interests of all parties involved in surrogacy arrangements.

The Civil Law And The Inner Self: Roman Iniuria And The Transformation Of The Private Sphere, Talya Deibel Dec 2024

The Civil Law And The Inner Self: Roman Iniuria And The Transformation Of The Private Sphere, Talya Deibel

Journal of Civil Law Studies

This paper focuses on the transhistorical nature of the protection of personality interests in the civilian tradition. It takes Roman iniuria as a key concept to analyze the legal protection of the “inner selves” of human beings. The legal framework of iniuria stands out as an illustration of how social and moral phenomena which belonged to the interior realm such as honor, dignity, emotions, and reputation carried legal value in Roman law. Starting from its origins in Roman antiquity, this paper views the inner self through the legal prism of personality protection and comments on how formative periods in history …

Nipping Crime In The Bud: The Spatial Relationship Between Crime And Meeting People’S Needs, Alicia Cerquone Dec 2024

Nipping Crime In The Bud: The Spatial Relationship Between Crime And Meeting People’S Needs, Alicia Cerquone

LSU Master's Theses

The recent high-profile killings of people by the police brought attention to police violence, and prompted activists to call for an end to police violence. Drawing from an understanding of strain theory (Merton, 1938; Farnworth & Leiber, 1989; Agnew, 1992; Agnew, 2001; Agnew, 2008) and Tucker and Cadora’s (2003) ideas of justice reinvestment, this research was designed with the belief that police funding can be better used to help people meet their basic needs of housing, healthcare, and education. This research is concerned with the spatial relationship between crime and the quality of social infrastructure, or the programs in place …


Contributions Of Glacier Meltwater To Water Resources And Water Quality Below The Ablating Coropuna Ice Cap In The Arid Peruvian Andes, Alexis Rowley Dec 2024

Contributions Of Glacier Meltwater To Water Resources And Water Quality Below The Ablating Coropuna Ice Cap In The Arid Peruvian Andes, Alexis Rowley

Theses and Dissertations

Rapidly retreating glaciers in the arid tropics are an invaluable resource for communities that depend on meltwater to support drinking water, agriculture, hydropower production, and mining. There is limited understanding of how glacier loss will impact regional water resources, groundwater flow paths, and water quality, especially during the dry season. The Nevado Coropuna volcano in Southern Peru has one of the largest remaining ice caps in the tropics, but has experienced rapid ice loss in the past few decades and is projected to disappear in the next century due to climate change. Located in the northern Atacama Desert, the arid …

Los Retos And Opportunities Del Transnational Translanguaging In English-Language Teaching Programs In Mexico, David Martinez-Prieto, Sue Kasun, Peter Sayer Dec 2024

Los Retos And Opportunities Del Transnational Translanguaging In English-Language Teaching Programs In Mexico, David Martinez-Prieto, Sue Kasun, Peter Sayer

Bilingual and Literacy Studies Faculty Publications

Nuestro principal objetivo en este ensayo es promover el uso del translingüismo como una alternativa para la formación de profesorado bilingüe en universidades mexicanas. Defendemos esta postura no simplemente por las ventajas pedagógicas del translingüismo, sino como una imperiosa necesidad ante la multiculturalidad y transnacionalismo de los futuros docentes de lengua inglesa en México. En otras palabras, en este ensayo promovemos el uso de translanguaging as a reaction towards the reproduction of systemic oppression which occurs in many English Language Teaching programs in Mexican universities regarding nativism, raciolinguistics, and irreflective neoliberalism.
