Chinese Ritual And The Practice Of Law, Mary Szto
Touro Law Review
While there is much literature about the contemporary practice of law in China, almost no articles discuss the rituals involved. This article describes five common Chinese rituals in the contemporary practice of law: drinking tea, banqueting, drinking alcohol, napping, and karaoke.

Then they are explicated for their contemporary meaning. Properly observed, these rituals promote just governance, harmony, balance, and physical and spiritual wholeness. They should be celebrated and practiced without excess.

He investigates various formal constraints upon lawyer comment, such as court-imposed publication bans and rules of professional responsibility. He also looks at the way in which lawyer behaviour is attributable to non-formal, cultural determinants.
Looking South: A Short Guide To Some Basic Considerationsin Referring To United States Law In Connection With Canadian Judicial Proceedings, Jan Schneider
Dalhousie Law Journal
Comparative law may be entering its golden age in Canada. Particularly with the advent of the new Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, courts, practitioners and professors in Canada seem to be looking increasingly at the decisions of foreign tribunals for what guidance they may offer for the construction and development of Canadian law. For a number of fairly obvious reasons - the sheer number of American cases and their easy accessibility, common language, basic similarities in legal systems and so forth - there appears to be a very distinct trend toward reliance on United States cases in particular.
