The Case Of The Foreign Lawyer: Internationalizing The U.S. Legal Profession, Carole Silver
The Case Of The Foreign Lawyer: Internationalizing The U.S. Legal Profession, Carole Silver
Carole Silver
This article contriubtes a new perspective to existing scholarship on internationalization of the legal profession by focusing on the increasing presence of foreign lawyers in U.S. law schools and law firms. It analyzes the interaction between foreign-educated lawyers and the legal profession in the U.S. based upon two sources of information: first, a series of interviews with foreign-educated lawyers and U.S. law firm hiring partners regarding experiences in law school and in firms, and second, a database comprised of biographical information for more than 300 foreign-educated lawyers who were working in New York during 1999 and 2000. The various roles …
The Cra Implications Of Predatory Lending
The Cra Implications Of Predatory Lending
Patricia A. McCoy
This article considers the Community Reinvestment Act's role in combating predatory lending. It provides an overview of the CRA, explains how CRA-covered lenders may enable predatory lending and explores the relationship between the CRA, federal subsidies and predatory lending. The article concludes that the CRA should be used to penalize lenders that engage in predatory lending and recommends that federal bank regulators use CRA to sanction behavior that could encourage further predatory lending.

Informed Consent And Patients' Rights In Japan: 2001 Epilogue, Robert B. Leflar
Robert B Leflar
Japan is on a steeper trajectory toward the incorporation of informed consent principles into medical practice than the “gradual transformation” observed in a 1996 article, Informed Consent and Patients’ Rights in Japan. Among the most significant recent developments from 1996 to 2001 have been these seven: (1) the 1997 enactment of the Organ Transplantation Law permitting the use of brain death criteria in limited circumstances in which informed consent is present; (2) the strengthening of patients’ rights in clinical drug trials; (3) the continued trend toward increasing disclosure to patients of cancer diagnoses; (4) initiatives by the health ministry toward …

September 11 Attacks And Surviving Same-Sex Partners: Defining Family Through Tragedy, Nancy J. Knauer
September 11 Attacks And Surviving Same-Sex Partners: Defining Family Through Tragedy, Nancy J. Knauer
Nancy J. Knauer
The September 11 relief efforts present a unique prism through which to view the status of same-sex relationships and to consider which families count when the United States is supposedly at its most generous, most united, and most injured. On a basic human level, would the nation grieve for Peggy Neff, who lost her partner of 18 years when Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon, as it had for the widow of a fire fighter? Would Neff be eligible to file a claim with the multi-billion dollar federal September 11 Victim Compensation Fund, which Congress established to compensate victims and …

Other States Should "Get With The Program" And Follow Louisiana's Lead: An Examination Of Louisiana's Direct Action Statute And Its Application In The Marine Insurance Industry, Jonathan C. Augustine
Jonathan C. Augustine
Generally speaking, an insurance agreement is a contractual obligation between two parties, the insured, who pays a premium for the benefit of coverage, and its insurer, who receives the payment and issues a guarantee against loss. Accordingly, by strict definition, the contract of insurance and the insured’s consequential ability to recover for sustained damages is limited as a two party agreement. The Louisiana legislature has been forward thinking in the field of insurance. The state enacted a “direct action statute,” allowing aggrieved third parties to proceed directly against insurers in either tort or contract, for the recovery of damages, when …
