Freedom Of Expression In England And The United States: A Comparative Study, With Particular Reference To Restrictions Imposed By Means Of Prior Restraint, Peter G. Shears Jan 1984

Freedom Of Expression In England And The United States: A Comparative Study, With Particular Reference To Restrictions Imposed By Means Of Prior Restraint, Peter G. Shears

LLM Theses and Essays

Freedom of expression is both a basic right and a basic need in all democratic societies. Without it, democracy itself cannot function. This is a comparative study. The protection, or more often the restriction, of freedom of expression in England before the American Revolution is considered first. Then two chapters outline the development and extent of freedom of expression, first in America, then in England, from 1776 up to the present day. There follows a direct comparison in two separate areas: the Fair Trial-Free Press tension which exists between the interests of those involved in judicial proceedings, and their rights …


Political Asylum In The Federal Republic Of Germany And The Republic Of France: Lessons For The United States, T. Alexander Aleinikoff Jan 1984

Political Asylum In The Federal Republic Of Germany And The Republic Of France: Lessons For The United States, T. Alexander Aleinikoff

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

The recent flood of asylum claims, and the concerns it engenders, are not peculiar to the United States. Western European nations have witnessed similar increases in asylum applications over the past decade, .and institutions charged with adjudicating claims have become severely overburdened. This Article will describe the experience of the Federal Republic of Germany and the Republic of France in coping with the explosion of asylum claims. A comparative analysis may provide perspective on the American situation and perhaps suggest - or rule out - proposals for change currently under consideration in the United States. To appreciate the saliency of …

The Plight Of The Genetically Handicapped Newborn: A Comparative Analysis, George P. Smith Ii Jan 1984

The Plight Of The Genetically Handicapped Newborn: A Comparative Analysis, George P. Smith Ii

Scholarly Articles

Confusion and controversy surround efforts to re-evaluate and, thus, redefine the extent to which governmental intrusion should be allowed in the doctor-patient relationship vis-a-vis the treatment or non treatment of genetically handicapped, at risk infants. The purpose of this article is to present a succinct comparative analysis of the medical-legal posture in Britain and the United States and from this analysis to develop a construct to aid the physician and the family in making decisions concerning the administration or the withholding of treatment for genetically defective newborns.

Tax Evasion Through International Manipulation Of Foreign Exhange Profits, Carol A. Brittain Jan 1983

Tax Evasion Through International Manipulation Of Foreign Exhange Profits, Carol A. Brittain

UC Law SF International Law Review

By constructing a hypothetical situation in which a non- United States bank with branches in New York and the Bahamas might illegally shift foreign exchange profits from New York to the tax-haven Bahamas, this Note explores what action the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) could take in pursuing and recapturing lost tax revenue. It is proposed that the application of section 482 be used to reallocate from abroad United States source income of banks. Recent developments in this area should give the IRS reason to consider enlarging the uses of section 482.


Allowing Federal Courts Access To International Court Of Justice Advisory Opinions: Critique And Proposal, William T. Mclaughlin Ii Jan 1983

Allowing Federal Courts Access To International Court Of Justice Advisory Opinions: Critique And Proposal, William T. Mclaughlin Ii

UC Law SF International Law Review

Supporters of the idea that the rule of law should govern the world community have generally been disappointed by the meager role the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has played in international affairs and in the development of international law. Most of the explanations for the ICJ's underuse point to a single factor: that the vast majority of nation states, including the United States, choose not to risk their interests to the judgment of an independent international tribunal. This Note first examines two suggested modifications of the ICJ as proposed by the United States Congress and the American Bar Association. …


Protection Of Constitutional Rights And Reform Of Nuclear Power Plant Licensing Procedures In West Germany: An Interim Assessment, Klaus Bosselmann Jan 1983

Protection Of Constitutional Rights And Reform Of Nuclear Power Plant Licensing Procedures In West Germany: An Interim Assessment, Klaus Bosselmann

UC Law SF International Law Review

This commentary by Dr. Bosselmarn originally appeared in Kritische Jirstiz in 1980. It is reproduced here with the author's permission in order to provide insight into this area of legal concern with respect to current debates in West Germany. This piece is especially timely in view of the Notes on licensing and decommissioning of nuclear power plants also published in this issue. Dr. Bosselmann's belief is that the nuclear licensing process in West Germany has not been concerned with the fundamental constitutional rights of the individual. Instead, nuclear licensing has evolved in the direction of procedural acceleration and simplification, and …

Artistic Freedom And Government Subsidy: Performing Arts Institutions In The United States And West Germany, Erik Stenberg Jan 1983

Artistic Freedom And Government Subsidy: Performing Arts Institutions In The United States And West Germany, Erik Stenberg

UC Law SF International Law Review

This Note examines the role of the government in securing and maintaining artistic freedom in the performing arts institutions of West Germany and of the United States. The primary basis for comparison is the ability of the artistic directors of performing arts institutions to program the works they desire. The author focuses on the various advantages and disadvantages of the direct subsidy approach implemented in West Germany as opposed to the emphasis on indirect government support found in the United States. Finally, the author concludes that direct and open government support of the performing arts, such as in West Germany, …
