World Jewry And The Ballot: The Defence Of Democracy At The World Zionist Federation And Its Potential Impact On Israel's Constitutional Law, Pnina Lahav
Faculty Scholarship
This note highlights an important phase in the history of Zionism describing and analysing a recent decision by the W.Z.F. Tribunal which held categorically and unequivocally that the W.Z.F. is a democratic movement, and as such is bound to follow the most basic rules of democracythe maintenance of equal, popular elections. It then discusses the significance of the potential impact of this decision on Israeli constitutional law. The Tribunal's firm holding that the process of an implicit constitutional amendment is illegitimate and invalid, may signal a shift in the Israeli position which has, so far recognised this technique as valid. …

The 1976 Terrorism Amendment To The Foreign Assistance Act Of 1961, Thomas E. Carbonneau, Richard Lillich
The 1976 Terrorism Amendment To The Foreign Assistance Act Of 1961, Thomas E. Carbonneau, Richard Lillich
Journal Articles
Key to any successful attempt to combat international terrorism is the elimination of sanctuary and safe-haven for terrorists. The United States has pressed consistently for international agreements – the anti-hijacking conventions and the Internationally Protected Persons Convention being examples – requiring States either to prosecute or extradite international terrorists found within their borders. Because its efforts to establish a "basic extradite-or-prosecute obligation" have not met with general success, the U.S. has had to consider, among other alternatives, various unilateral responses to help curb terrorist activities. One obvious response, drawing upon a wealth of domestic precedents, involves the possible invocation of …

Review Of Contemporary Soviet Law: Essays In Honor Of John N. Hazard, Whitmore Gray
Reviews
This excellent collection of essays on Soviet Law was assembled to honor Professor John N.

As an introduction to the contemporary essays, the editors happily chose to publish for the first time some of the letters Professor Hazard wrote to his sponsor in New York during his three years as a law student in Moscow, 1934-37. These excerpts are the jewel of the volume, and should certainly be read by anyone trying …

Abortion And Constitution: United States And West Germany, Donald P. Kommers
Abortion And Constitution: United States And West Germany, Donald P. Kommers
Journal Articles
The US Supreme Court’s 1973 and the German Federal Constitutional Court’s 1975 decisions on abortion provide us with an uncommon opportunity to compare the constitutional law of different nations on the issue. The two courts took opposing stances in their decisions. The US Supreme Court substantially curtailed the power of American states to limit abortion while the German court ruled that an existing statute that permitted abortion within the first three months of pregnancy violated the rights of unborn children. These opinions can be explained by the different political contexts of the two nations and different perceptions on judicial intervention …
Integrating Governmental And Officer Tort Liability, George A. Bermann
Integrating Governmental And Officer Tort Liability, George A. Bermann
Faculty Scholarship
The legislative and judicial dismantling of sovereign immunity is among the more significant and celebrated reforms of recent American administrative law. In many instances, this development has given those seeking damages for wrongful governmental action their first and only defendant. Even in situations in which litigants already had a cause of action against individual public officials, making the government amenable to suit has enhanced the chances of actual recovery, since officials often lack the means to satisfy judgments rendered against them. The immunity from liability enjoyed by public officials also has undergone a complex series of changes. Though still in …
