Domestic Violence And Us Asylum Law: Eliminating The 'Cultural Hook' For Claims Involving Gender-Related Persecution, Anita Sinha Jan 2001

Domestic Violence And Us Asylum Law: Eliminating The 'Cultural Hook' For Claims Involving Gender-Related Persecution, Anita Sinha

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

In this Note, Anita Sinha examines the treatment of asylum claims involving gender-related persecution. Analyzing the three most recent decisions published by the Board of Immigration Appeals, Sinha illustrates that these cases have turned on whether the gender-related violence can be linked to practices attributable to non-Western,'foreign" cultures. Sinha argues that cases involving gender-related persecution can be given full consideration of asylum law only when their adjudication is based on an understanding of the political and institutional character of violence against women, rather than on" cultural" culpability. In making this argument, Sinha examines recent amendments to the regulations governing asylum …

Polling Establishment: Judicial Review, Democracy, And The Endorsement Theory Of The Establishment Clause - Commentary On 'Measured Endorsement', Jamin B. Raskin Jan 2001

Polling Establishment: Judicial Review, Democracy, And The Endorsement Theory Of The Establishment Clause - Commentary On 'Measured Endorsement', Jamin B. Raskin

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

[In Measured Endorsement] Shari Seidman Diamond and Andrew Koppelman argue that courts should rely on the techniques and methodologies of public opinion polling to survey the public and determine whether such displays endorse religion and therefore violate the Establishment Clause.' The authors support the point by developing an analogy to litigation under the Lanham Act, where courts regularly use evidence from public opinion poll results to determine whether there is legally salient 'consumer confusion' in a trademark dispute. The theoretical problem with this analogy is that the issue at stake under the Lanham Act is whether there is a likelihood …

Should Concentration Be Dropped From The Merger Guidelines?, Jonathan Baker, Steven Salop Jan 2001

Should Concentration Be Dropped From The Merger Guidelines?, Jonathan Baker, Steven Salop

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

As members of the ABA Antitrust Section's Task Force on Fundamental Theory, we are pleased to provide a brief discussion of the appropriate role of market concentration in the review of mergers under the antitrust laws. This paper, organized in four main parts, will offer some suggestions for revising the Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission Horizontal Merger Guidelines. A final section of this work will analyze whether it would be preferable to conduct merger analysis by applying Professor Michael E. Porter's business strategy framework rather than the Merger Guidelines.

Telling Stories About Cases And Clients: The Ethics Of Narrative, Binny Miller Oct 2000

Telling Stories About Cases And Clients: The Ethics Of Narrative, Binny Miller

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

In recent years, narrative has achieved great prominence in legal scholarship and in much other academic work, although the concept is not new. The legal realists always have emphasized the importance of stories; as long ago as 1941, Karl Llewellyn published case studies of the Cheyenne and their dispute settlement practices. In step with the popularity of narrative in legal scholarship, stories about the individuals behind the legal doctrine are increasingly common. While the terms "narrative" and "story" are sometimes used interchangeably, they are not quite the same thing.


After Seattle: Public International Organizations, Non-Governmental Organizations (Ngos), And Democratic Legitimacy In An Era Of Globalization: An Essay In Contested Legitimacy, Kenneth Anderson Sep 2000

After Seattle: Public International Organizations, Non-Governmental Organizations (Ngos), And Democratic Legitimacy In An Era Of Globalization: An Essay In Contested Legitimacy, Kenneth Anderson

Working Papers

This working monograph (about 120,000 words) analyzes the relationship between public international organizations such as the United Nations system and international non-governmental organizations under conditions of globalization. It argues that international organizations and international NGOs are locked in an embrace of mutual legitimation, each giving the other important political legitimacy, in favor of liberal internationalism and at the expense of democratic sovereignty. The monograph argues that the legitimacy that each gives the other is based on flawed assumptions about the nature of civil society and "international civil society," on the one hand, and global governance and the possibilities of international, …

Entering The 21st Century: Competition Policy In The World Of B2b Electronic Marketplaces, Jonathan Baker Jun 2000

Entering The 21st Century: Competition Policy In The World Of B2b Electronic Marketplaces, Jonathan Baker

Presentations

B2Bs are business-to-business electronic marketplaces that use the Internet to electronically connect businesses to each other. They have been characterized as the new business development most likely to transform how business is conducted in the twenty-first century. Largely unheard of only a few years ago, B2Bs are now estimated to handle billions of dollars in purchases, and although it is difficult to gauge the reliability of such predictions, some estimate that the volume of commerce transacted through B2Bs will reach into the trillions of dollars over the next five years. Given the importance of this new business development, the Federal …

Pulliam V. Coastal Emergency Services Of Richmond, Inc.: Reconsidering The Standard Of Review And Constitutionality Of Virginia's Medical Malpractice, Elizabeth Keith

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

Consider the following scenario. A plaintiff is injured in a devastating automobile accident and a jury finds the other driver negligent. As a result of that driver's negligence, the plaintiff is now a quadriplegic. The jury, after careful deliberation and calculation, awards $4.5 million to the plaintiff consisting of both economic damages for past and future medical expenses, as well as non-economic damages for pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life. Now consider a similar scenario. The plaintiff is a patient who is injured during a low-risk surgical procedure and a jury finds the surgeon negligent. As a …
