The Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act: A Legislative Remedy For Children Caught In The Conflict Of Laws, Brigitte M. Bodenheimer Oct 1969

The Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act: A Legislative Remedy For Children Caught In The Conflict Of Laws, Brigitte M. Bodenheimer

Vanderbilt Law Review

The National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws has approved and recommended for enactment in all the states a Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act. This Act is designed to alleviate the plight of "interstate children" an apt phrase coined by Professor Ehrenzweig and descriptive of the rootlessness of children shifted from state to state--who are the victims of custody battles often fought in the courts of more than one state or a state and a foreign country. In this article, Mrs. Bodenheimer, Reporter for the Special Committee which drafted the Act, describes the social and legal causes of the …

Continuing Problems Of Travel And Transportation., Leslie H. Williams Jr. Mar 1969

Continuing Problems Of Travel And Transportation., Leslie H. Williams Jr.

St. Mary's Law Journal

The Texas Workmen’s Compensation Act works to protect employees against the risk or hazard of performing their job and compensates that employee for injuries sustained in the course of employment. In 1957, after an increasing number of travel-oriented injuries involving scope of employment, the legislature amended the Act to limit judicial interpretation. This amendment added subsection b to section 1 of article 8309 to clarify the rules created from recent caselaw. Section 1b reconciled and enumerated four exceptions to the common law rule that an injury which occurs during the use of public streets or highways while traveling to and …


Vietnam And Public International Law, Anthony D'Amato Jan 1969

Vietnam And Public International Law, Anthony D'Amato

Faculty Working Papers

With each international crisis inevitably come the self­styled "realists" proclaiming that there is no such thing as public international law. The Vietnam war is no exception, although here, due to the unusual complexity of the facts and the controversy over the applicable rules of international law, many of the published replies to the "realist's" positions have themselves been insubstantial and unconvincing. Let us look first, briefly, at the arguments of one of the realists, and then, with equal brevity, at some of the counterclaims. The remainder of this comment will be addressed to the larger issues involved and some suggested …

War Crimes And Vietnam: The "Nuremberg Defense" And The Military Service Resister, Anthony D'Amato, Harvey . L. Gould, Larry D. Woods Jan 1969

War Crimes And Vietnam: The "Nuremberg Defense" And The Military Service Resister, Anthony D'Amato, Harvey . L. Gould, Larry D. Woods

Faculty Working Papers

We have attempted to establish first that the international laws of warfare are part of American law, and have argued that these laws, when taken as prohibitions of specific methods of waging war, are a practical and effective means of controlling unnecessary suffering and destruction. Second, we have analyzed these laws as they apply to treatment of prisoners of war, aerial bombardment of nonmilitary targets, and chemical and biological warfare, and have marshalled a portion of the available evidence that American forces commit war crimes in Vietnam. Third, we have discussed the defenses of tu quoque, reprisal, military necessity, superior …
