Orphan Works As Grist For The Data Mill, Matthew Sag
Orphan Works As Grist For The Data Mill, Matthew Sag
Faculty Articles
The phenomenon of library digitization in general, and the digitization of so-called “orphan works” in particular, raises many important copyright law questions. However, as this Article explains, correctly understood, there is no orphan works problem for certain kinds of library digitization.
The distinction between expressive and non-expressive works is already well recognized in copyright law as the gatekeeper to copyright protection—novels are protected by copyright, while telephone books and other uncreative compilations of data are not. The same distinction should generally be made in relation to potential acts of infringement. Preserving the functional force of the idea-expression distinction in the …
Prosecution In 3-D, Kay L. Levine, Ronald F. Wright
Prosecution In 3-D, Kay L. Levine, Ronald F. Wright
Faculty Articles
Despite the multidimensional nature of the prosecutor’s work, legal scholars tend to offer a comparatively flat portrait of the profession, providing insight into two dimensions that shape the prosecutor’s performance. Accounts in the first dimension look outward toward external institutions that bear on prosecutors’ case-handling decisions, such as judicial review or the legislative codes that define crimes and punishments. Sketches in the second dimension encourage us to look inward, toward the prosecutor’s individual conscience.
In this Article we add depth to the existing portrait of prosecution by exploring a third dimension: the office structure and the professional identity it helps …
Regulatory Litigation In The European Union: Does The U.S. Class Action Have A New Analogue?, S. I. Strong
Regulatory Litigation In The European Union: Does The U.S. Class Action Have A New Analogue?, S. I. Strong
Faculty Articles
The United States has long embraced the concept of regulatory litigation, whereby individual litigants, often termed “private attorneys general,” are allowed to enforce certain public laws as a matter of institutional design. Although several types of regulatory litigation exist, the U.S. class action is often considered the paradigmatic model for this type of private regulation.
For years, the United States appeared to be the sole proponent of both regulatory litigation and large-scale litigation. However, in February 2012, the European Union dramatically reversed its existing policies toward mass claims resolution when the European Parliament adopted a resolution proposing to create a …
Navigating The Borders Between International Commercial Arbitration And U.S. Federal Courts: A Jurisprudential Gps, S. I. Strong
Navigating The Borders Between International Commercial Arbitration And U.S. Federal Courts: A Jurisprudential Gps, S. I. Strong
Faculty Articles
Thus, this Article aims to provide newcomers to and infrequent users of international commercial arbitration with a brief introduction to the relationship between international arbitral proceedings and U.S. federal courts. Limitations of space mean that a great deal has necessarily been left out of this discussion. For example, this Article does not describe processes internal to the arbitration, instead focusing solely on the interaction between tribunal, parties and court. Furthermore, the text often skips over basic propositions of U.S. law that are well-established in the domestic realm so as to concentrate more heavily on elements that are unique to international …
Border Skirmishes: The Intersection Between Litigation And International Commercial Arbitration, S. I. Strong
Border Skirmishes: The Intersection Between Litigation And International Commercial Arbitration, S. I. Strong
Faculty Articles
National courts are becoming increasingly involved with international commercial arbitration. Although this observation may be disheartening to those who support the autonomy of the international arbitral regime, the continued interaction between courts and tribunals is less troubling to those who view international commercial arbitration as a "hybrid" method of dispute resolution, with numerous opportunities for permissible "border crossings. "
That is not to say that courts can or should become involved with every aspect of arbitration. Instead, impermissible "border incursions" diminish the effectiveness of international commercial arbitration and could erode public or private support for the international arbitral regime. Therefore, …
