Prospective Jurisprudence The Concept, The Advantages, & Its Legal Instruments, Najmaldeen Al-Zanki
UAEU Law Journal
This study sheds light on "Fiqh Istishraf- Prospective Jurisprudence" in terms of its concept, advantages and foundational tools. It follows a deductive and analytical method to establish its definition, describe its legal outcomes and determine its tools. The study concludes with some important findings. It shows that the term "Fiqh Istishraf'" aims at the grasping of predictable benefits and the preventing of expectable evils. The proper space for it to apply is the scope of public law which dwells on future issues from a general nature. The main advantages of this method could be seen in: providing legal responses for …

The Perspective Of The Saudi Judiciary On Child Custody, Mufleh Al-Qahtani
UAEU Law Journal

As the provisions of the Islamic Sharia is the common law in the country, Saudi judiciary applies the Islamic jurisprudence (the hanbli fiqh in particular) on disputes over child custody in the absence of family law.
This paper aims to know more about the positions of the Saudi judiciary with regard …

The Disdain Of Heavenly Religions Between The Islamic Law And The United Arab Emirates Law, Layla Salem
UAEU Law Journal
The principle of criminalizing the contempt of religions takes a high position among the general principles that prevail in the legal system of any state to guarantee that all individuals in the society can live in harmony and agreement regardless of the differences that may stem from culture, religion or race. In agreement with this trend, the UAE legislator issued Law No. (2) in 2015 for preventing discrimination and hatred which requires the criminalization of acts associated with the contempt of religions and their holy sites and the fight against all forms of discrimination and rejection of hatred speech in …

Preemptive Dicta: The Problem Created By Judicial Efficiency, Judith M. Stinson
Preemptive Dicta: The Problem Created By Judicial Efficiency, Judith M. Stinson
Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review
Judges regularly espouse dicta. Traditional obiter dicta, remarks that are clearly asides and not about issues considered in the case, can be easily ignored by subsequent courts. But one particular form of dicta is especially problematic because it is more difficult to ignore. Judicial efficiency dicta are statements in judicial opinions about issues involved in the case and likely to present themselves again, but not necessary for the outcome of the case. While those statements are often about issues actually considered and may contribute to judicial efficiency by saving courts time when reconsidering issues already litigated, just like obiter dicta, …
Predicting Supreme Court Behavior In Indian Law Cases, Grant Christensen
Predicting Supreme Court Behavior In Indian Law Cases, Grant Christensen
Michigan Journal of Race and Law
This piece builds upon Matthew Fletcher’s call for additional empirical work in Indian law by creating a new dataset of Indian law opinions. The piece takes every Indian law case decided by the Supreme Court from the beginning of the Warren Court until the end of the 2019-2020 term. The scholarship first produces an Indian law scorecard that measures how often each Justice voted for the “pro- Indian” outcome. It then compares those results to the Justice’s political ideology to suggest that while there is a general trend that a more “liberal” Justice is more likely to favor the pro-Indian …
The Utilization Of The Rule Of Law For Economic Development In Developing States: The Case Of Egypt From Nasser To Mubarak, Mohamed M. Ahmed
The Utilization Of The Rule Of Law For Economic Development In Developing States: The Case Of Egypt From Nasser To Mubarak, Mohamed M. Ahmed
Theses and Dissertations
Neoliberal development proponents argue that the rule of law is essential for achieving economic development. It demands adjusting legislative and legal institutional practices to enforce and protect market operations, and the minimizing of state intervention. The IFIs and the developed states adopted this development approach in dealing with developing states through conditional-based lending. Through attaching structural regulative adjustments and the reformation of juristic institutions as preconditions to their fiscal assistance, the IFIs, influenced by the developed states, were able to impose a system of legal economic governance over the developing economies. Across the different development stages, developing states who did …

A man may marry a woman by a verbal contract and then abandon his wife and child back to his country to remarry and create a new family; forget his first family. A man may marry a second wife secretly from his first wife and children, so that no problems will arise, and the man may have a son of adultery recognized in the disease of death in front of his legal children, and then die. In such cases, the heir may appear unknown, then some of the heirs recognize him and others deny him. What is the ruling in …

The Legality Of A Comprehensive Maintenance Contract Between Al-Gharar (Risk/Uncertainty) And Jurisprudential Need: An Analytical Purposive Study., Maher Haswa
UAEU Law Journal
The comprehensive maintenance contract is a type of contemporized contracts to which the general rules of contracts apply. Under the contract, one party has the obligation, periodically and in emergency cases, to perform the necessary acts to keep a certain property in a good condition for its use. The contract also states the agreed wages, tools and raw materials.
Many scholars have been reluctant to rule for the legality of the comprehensive maintenance contract because it involves uncertainty. This led the Islamic Fiqh Academy to postpone its ruling on the contract for more studies. Therefore, this research analyses the effect …

New Perspectives In Corporate Law, Asaf Raz
New Perspectives In Corporate Law, Asaf Raz
SJD Dissertations
“The life of the law has not been logic: it has been experience,” wrote Oliver Wendell Holmes in 1881, laying the foundation for what would become the legal realist movement, and subsequently much of the way we think about, practice, adjudicate, and study the law today. Yet what if the life of the law has been both logic and experience? What if the law has its own structure, taxonomy, and unwaivable principles, which in turn operate to make the world a better place, even in extra-legal terms (economic, social, or otherwise)? This debate, regarding the proper balance between internal and …
Finding Original Public Meaning, James Macleod
Finding Original Public Meaning, James Macleod
Georgia Law Review
Textualists seek to interpret statutes consistent with their “original public meaning” (OPM). To find it, they ask an avowedly empirical question: how would ordinary readers have understood the statute’s terms at the time of their enactment? But as the Supreme Court’s decision in Bostock v. Clayton County highlights, merely asking an empirical question doesn’t preclude interpretive controversy. In considering how Title VII applies to LGBT people, the Bostock majority and dissents vehemently disagreed over the statute’s bar on discrimination “because of sex”—each side claiming that OPM clearly supported its interpretation. So who, if anyone, was right? And how can textualists’ …
Modeling Narrowest Grounds, Maxwell Stearns
Modeling Narrowest Grounds, Maxwell Stearns
Faculty Scholarship
The Supreme Court’s doctrinal statements governing nonmajority opinions demonstrate inconsistencies and confusion belied by the Justices’ behaviors modeling the narrowest grounds doctrine. And yet, lower courts are bound by stated doctrine, beginning with Marks v. United States, not rules of construction inferred from judicial conduct. This Article simplifies the narrowest grounds rule, reconciling doctrinal formulations with observed behaviors, avoiding the implicit command: “Watch what we do, not what we say.”
The two most recent cases considering Marks, Ramos v. Louisiana and Hughes v. United States, obfuscate three central features: (1) when the doctrine does or does not …
The Image Of European Union Law In Bilateral Relations, Sharon Pardo, Lior Zemer
The Image Of European Union Law In Bilateral Relations, Sharon Pardo, Lior Zemer
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The impact of foreign law on the development of national laws has been analyzed and vindicated in numerous studies in comparative legal literature. These studies typically focus on the two most prominent legal systems--common law (the Anglo-American system) and civil law (the Continental system). The historical reasons for this are clear, emanating from the fact that the world's legal systems are based on these legal regimes and are amended in the spirit of changes made to them. Over the years, however, with the many effects of legal and economic globalization, legal systems have become a diverse mosaic which has appropriated …
What's The Deal With Revlon?, Zachary Gubler
What's The Deal With Revlon?, Zachary Gubler
Indiana Law Journal
Under the Revlon doctrine, courts are to apply a higher level of scrutiny in certain takeover situations in an attempt to control potential conflicts of interest that might prejudice target shareholders. However, the doctrine has always had sufficient “play in the joints” that one might reasonably wonder whether it has much of an effect in practice on short-term shareholder returns. Additionally, in recent years, the trend in Delaware’s Revlon jurisprudence seems to be to defer to the target board as long as there are no glaring conflicts of interest. Taken together, these facts raise concern over the continued relevance of …
The Deceptive Dyad: How Falseness Structures International Law, Jason A. Beckett
The Deceptive Dyad: How Falseness Structures International Law, Jason A. Beckett
Faculty Journal Articles
Public International Law (PIL) is portrayed as an autonomous and tolerably just legal system. A determinable system of rules and principles, deployed by professionals to evaluate and constrain the global machinations of power politics. Law as an authoritative structure through which global justice can be pursued. This entrenches a comforting, but false, progress narrative; and obscures the limitations of pursuing progressive change through international law. PIL is structured by false necessity and false contingency. These interact to create the Deceptive Dyad, which disguises the radical indeterminacy of PIL. PIL’s purported demands, however meticulously crafted, do not effect change in the …
Microwaving Dreams? Why There Is No Point In Reheating The Hart-Dworkin Debate For International Law, Jason A. Beckett
Microwaving Dreams? Why There Is No Point In Reheating The Hart-Dworkin Debate For International Law, Jason A. Beckett
Faculty Book Chapters
A critique of attempts to transpose Hart and Dworkin's legal theories to international law. I demonstrate why neither approach can provide insights into international law. Hart and Dworkin are institutional theorists, their methodologies are anchored by the need to justify the exercise of socially centralised violence. International law lacks both institutions and centralised violence, and the stabilising force these bring; it is radically indeterminate. Attempts to suppress this indeterminacy have resulted in international lawyers fragmenting into communities of practice, united by their eschatological faith in the international community. I challenge this faith.
Playing At The Crossroads Of Religion And Law: Historical Milieu, Context And Curriculum Hooks In Lost & Found, Owen Gottlieb
Playing At The Crossroads Of Religion And Law: Historical Milieu, Context And Curriculum Hooks In Lost & Found, Owen Gottlieb
Articles
This chapter presents the use of Lost & Found – a purpose-built tabletop to mobile game series – to teach medieval religious legal systems. The series aims to broaden the discourse around religious legal systems and to counter popular depiction of these systems which often promote prejudice and misnomers. A central element is the importance of contextualizing religion in period and locale. The Lost & Found series uses period accurate depictions of material culture to set the stage for play around relevant topics – specifically how the law promoted collaboration and sustainable governance practices in Fustat (Old Cairo) in twelfth-century …
Social Justice And The Supreme Court: Lessons From The Past, Vicki Lens
Social Justice And The Supreme Court: Lessons From The Past, Vicki Lens
Mitchell Hamline Law Journal of Public Policy and Practice
This article revisits over sixty years of Supreme Court decisions that have affected the poor and racial minorities, using a novel approach that considers the synergistic relationship between different doctrinal areas rather than focusing on one area. Specifically, I appraise the Supreme Court’s doctrinal contributions from 1953 to the present across three foundational elements of social justice on behalf of the poor and people of color: the school integration cases under the Equal Protection Clause, a series of cases under the Fourth Amendment which sanctioned the police tactic of stop-and-frisk, and attempts to secure economic security for the poor through …
School "Safety" Measures Jump Constitutional Guardrails, Maryam Ahranjani
School "Safety" Measures Jump Constitutional Guardrails, Maryam Ahranjani
Faculty Scholarship
In the wake of George Floyd’s murder and efforts to achieve racial justice through systemic reform, this Article argues that widespread “security” measures in public schools, including embedded law enforcement officers, jump constitutional guardrails. These measures must be rethought in light of their negative impact on all children and in favor of more effective—and constitutionally compliant—alternatives to promote school safety. The Black Lives Matter, #DefundthePolice, #abolishthepolice, and #DefundSchoolPolice movements shine a timely and bright spotlight on how the prisonization of public schools leads to the mistreatment of children, particularly children with disabilities, boys, Black and brown children, and low-income children. …
