Origin Of Jeofail, M. P. Furmston Oct 1974

Origin Of Jeofail, M. P. Furmston

Dalhousie Law Journal

In their interesting note on the origin of "Jeofail",' Doctors Baker and Arnold suggest that the word is derived from jeu-faille (= game-fail) and say that "A 'game-fail' in chess was presumably a stalemate; neither party could win, so the game failed or ended. "2 Since it has long been known that "jeopardy" has a chess origin3 (either from the old French "jeu parti" or the Latin "jocus partitus" = game in the balance and hence an uncertain chance) this explanation has an obvious attraction. Indeed in view of the alphabetical work habits of-lexicographers it is surprising that the suggestion …


The Peaceful Settlement Of International Disputes Within The United Nations System, Giovanni Acerbi Jan 1974

The Peaceful Settlement Of International Disputes Within The United Nations System, Giovanni Acerbi

LLM Theses and Essays

The purpose of this thesis will be, after having examined generally the principles which regulate the settlement of international disputes under international law, to understand the function that the United Nations has in the settlement of disputes and, particularly, to see the role played by the General Assembly and the Security Council in preserving peace and security, including the pacific settlement of disputes. In order to do that, we cannot avoid, of course, investigating and clarifying the purposes of the United Nations as an organ of conciliation. Then we will examine the United Nations structure, particularly the General Assembly, the …


Solomon's Sword: Adjudication Of Child Custody Questions, Robert E. Shepherd Jr. Jan 1974

Solomon's Sword: Adjudication Of Child Custody Questions, Robert E. Shepherd Jr.

University of Richmond Law Review

It is significant that this story from the reign of King Solomon in the tenth century B.C. uses as its setting a battle over child custody to illustrate the legendary "wisdom of Solomon."' It is equally meaningful that after the passage of some three thousand years of civilization and supposed social progress, a twentieth century Amer- ican judge could remark that "a judge agonizes more about reaching the right result in a contested custody issue than about any other type decision he renders." And this agony intrudes into an ever-increasing number of cases.

Comment: Arbitration -- A Viable Alternative?, K. E.C. Hull, Einar M. Rod Jan 1974

Comment: Arbitration -- A Viable Alternative?, K. E.C. Hull, Einar M. Rod

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Private arbitration as an alternative to litigation has been viewed by many authorities as an important method of improving judicial administration. This Comment, in evaluating courts' attitudes toward arbitration, will analyze the standards used by courts in deciding whether issues are appropriate subjects for arbitration. Because arbitration can have no legal effect unless courts are willing to support the arbitrator's award, the standards used to determine whether an issue is arbitrable are critical to the future of arbitration. The Comment examines four areas law that illustrate a variety of judicial attitudes toward arbitrability: labor-management relations, domestic relations, will probation and …
