Foreign Experiences Toward The Development Of A National Legal Information Center, Claire M. Germain
Foreign Experiences Toward The Development Of A National Legal Information Center, Claire M. Germain
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
This comparative study discusses whether selected foreign countries--Canada, the United Kingdom, France, and the Federal Republic of Germany--have a history of a movement toward the establishment of a national information center. The author examines the development of existing law libraries and libraries with large legal collections, analyzes the role played by the national library of each country, and describes some cooperative accomplishments at the regional and national level. Comparisons are drawn with what is expected of a national legal information center in the United States.

Review Of The Justice Of The Western Consular Courts In Nineteenth Century Japan, Whitmore Gray
Review Of The Justice Of The Western Consular Courts In Nineteenth Century Japan, Whitmore Gray
Reviews
Richard Chang attacks the generalization accepted by many historians that the Western consular tribunals in nineteenth-century Japan were so partial- toward West- erners and against Japanese-that they seldom rendered evenhanded justice. His study required two steps. First he tried to determine how many "mixed" cases came to trial-cases in which aJapanese brought a claim against a foreign resident in a consular court or was the complaining party in criminal proceedings against a foreigner. Between 1875 and 1895 there were five such cases that were widely reported and commented on at the time, and that have often been cited as examples. …

Law And Language: The Role Of Pragmatics In Statutory Interpretation, M. B.W. Sinclair
Law And Language: The Role Of Pragmatics In Statutory Interpretation, M. B.W. Sinclair
Articles by Maurer Faculty
In everyday conversation social conventions constrain our speech and aid understanding of the speech of others. These social conventions have been analyzed by the philosopher H.P. Grice and others. Professor Sinclair explores the applicability of such conventions to statutes and thereby derives a set of pragmatic rules of statutory construction. These rules explain some of the intuitions underlying "canons of construction" and their limitations and provide a basis for understanding and for criticizing some important judicial decisions.

The Formulaic Constitution, Robert F. Nagel
The Formulaic Constitution, Robert F. Nagel
Publications
The Supreme Court's constitutional jurisprudence of late has been filled with formulae - tests that must be met, hurdles that must be overcome. This multi-pronged analytical technique is, according to Professor Nagel, distancing the Justices from both their audience, the American public, and their text, the Constitution. In an effort to retain the authority of that text, the Court is instead displacing it; in an effort to persuade that audience, the Court is instead excluding it. Furthermore, the Court's attempt to constrain judges has actually created an irresponsible judicial freedom, while its attempt to locate a middle ground between the …

How Should We Talk About Corporations? The Languages Of Economics And Of Citizenship, James Boyd White
How Should We Talk About Corporations? The Languages Of Economics And Of Citizenship, James Boyd White
Articles
My immediate subject in this Comment is section 2.01 of the American Law Institute's proposed Principles of Corporate Governance (Tentative Draft No. 2), which defines in general terms the proper objectives and conduct of a business corporation. My larger subject has to do with the adequacy and inadequacy of various languages in which corporate purposes and limits might be expressed, and especially with the limits of the economic language used in the ALI Draft.
