Perspectives On Foreign Banking In The United States, Henry C. Wallich

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Foreign banking has had a great expansion in the United States. This evolution has been accompanied by a variety of questions and concerns on the part of the public, American legislators and regulators, and American bankers. Many of these concrns have been allayed by the passage of the International Banking Act. Some nevertheless remain. To evalute them, I will begin by setting forth the benefits that foreign banks have brought to the United States. Then I will take a look at the principles that have guided and, I believe, should continue to guide United States' policy in this regard.

A Comparative Study Of British Barristers And American Legal Practice And Education, Marilyn J. Berger

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

The conduct of a trial in England is undeniably an impressive undertaking. Costume alone transports the viewer to Elizabethan times. Counsel and judges, bewigged and gowned, appear in a cloistered, regal setting, strewn with leather-bound books. Brightly colored ribbons of red, green, yellow and white, rather than metal clips and staples fasten the legal papers. After comparison with the volatile atmosphere and often unruly conduct of a trial in a United States courtroom it is natural to assume that the British model of courtroom advocacy provides an instructive model for its American counterpart.

Exports, Banking And Antitrust: The Export Trading Company Act - A Modest Tool For Export Promotion, George E. Garvey

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

There is an almost universally held perceptoin that expanded export trade is essential to a robust United States economy. President Carter, for example, stated in a report to Congress that export expansion is critical to the health of our economy. Huge balance of payments deficits in recent years, the increasingly successfuly and visible penetration of United States markets by foreign producers, and substantial unemployment in basic industry have all fuedl this concern. These conditions have led naturally to a two-pronged response by the public and members of Congress: first, the call for greater protection against foreign competition; and second, a …

Chemical And Biological Warfare: Focus On Asia, Lee D. Klein

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

This Note concludes that (1) the Geneva Protocol of 1925 and the Biological Weapons Convention of 1972 provide conventional restraints upon the use of lethal or seriously injurious CBWs; (2) modern treaties, customs, judicial decisions, and writings form a public international law norm that imposes a legal restraint limiting the use of lethal or seriously injurious CBWs and binding all states regardless of their acceptance of conventional prohibitions; and (3) the law of war today is characterized more accurately as the "law of armed conflict," because it must of necessity apply to conflicts that are not purely interstate. Before discussing …

Torture As A Violation Of International Law Providing Federal Jurisdiction: Filartiga V. Pena Irala And The Alien Tort Statute, Neil J. Conway

Antioch Law Journal

In Filartiga v. Pefia-IralaI the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit upheld the subject matter jurisdiction of the federal courts over an action between foreign nationals for the wrongful death by torture of a seventeen year old boy in Paraguay. Reversing the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, the Second Circuit held that deliberate torture committed by a foreign police official violates international law, and that an action may therefore be brought in district court under 28 U.S.C. § 1350 (The Alien Tort Statute).2 The Alien Tort Statute, rarely invoked since its …

Emerging Functions Of Formal Legal Institutions In China's Modernization, Stanley B. Lubman

Hong Yen Chang Center for Chinese Legal Studies

In 1977 when China's leaders dedicated themselves to the four modernizations, they consciously decided to reestablish formal legal institutions as part of their ambitious plan of growth. In light of China's legal history since the Communist victory in 1949, this decision is significant. Since 1949 law had borne the heavy imprint of politics; since the late nineteen-fifties, the Chinese leadership had shown little concern for the fate of formal legal institutions; during the Cultural Revolution, the legal system had virtually disappeared. But since 1977, despite fluctuations in economic policy the attitudes of the leadership toward law, repeatedly echoed by lower …
