Those Who Can't, Teach: What The Legal Career Of John Yoo Tells Us About Who Should Be Teaching Law, Lawrence Rosenthal
Those Who Can't, Teach: What The Legal Career Of John Yoo Tells Us About Who Should Be Teaching Law, Lawrence Rosenthal
Lawrence Rosenthal
Perhaps no member of the legal academy in America is more controversial than John Yoo. For his role in producing legal opinions authorizing what is thought by many to be abusive treatment of detainees as part of the Bush Administration’s “Global War on Terror,” some have called for him to be subjected to professional discipline, others have called for his criminal prosecution. This paper raises a different question: whether John Yoo – and his like – ought to be teaching law.
John Yoo provides something of a case study in the problems in legal education today. As a scholar, Professor …

The Variable Value Of Us Legal Education In The Global Legal Services Market, Carole Silver
Carole Silver
Many U.S. law firms now claim to be global organizations, and they seek to occupy the same high status everywhere they work. In part, simply supporting overseas offices is an indication of status for U.S.-based firms. But firms want more than this and they strive for recognition as elite advisors around the world. In this pursuit, have firms identified a set of common characteristics and credentials that define a “global lawyer?” That is, is there a uniform and universal profile, or perhaps a set of assets that comprise global professional capital, which are emerging as the indicia of credibility and …

Foreign Citizens In Transnational Class Actions, Jay Tidmarsh, Linda Sandstrom Simard
Jay Tidmarsh
This Article addresses an increasingly important question: When, if ever, should foreign citizens be included as members of an American class action? The existing consensus holds that courts should exclude from class membership those foreign citizens whose country does not recognize an American class judgment. Our analysis begins by establishing that this consensus is flawed. Rather, to minimize the costs associated with relitigation in a foreign forum, we must distinguish between foreign claimants who are likely to commence a subsequent foreign proceeding from those who are unlikely to do so; distinguishing between those who come from recognizing and nonrecognizing countries …
Comparative Efficiency In Internatonal Sales Law, Larry A. Dimatteo, Daniel Ostas
Comparative Efficiency In Internatonal Sales Law, Larry A. Dimatteo, Daniel Ostas
Larry A DiMatteo
The article employs the method of the economic analysis of law (EAL) in a comparative context. In particular, it assesses the efficiency of select provisions of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). The CISG is the law of the United States and over 70 other countries. It reflects a culmination of a century-old process of failed attempts to achieve an international sales law. The drafting process involved intense negotiation and compromise between representatives of the common and civil law legal traditions. As a result, the CISG provides in an interesting amalgam of civil …
The Interpretation Of National Foreign Investment Laws As Unilateral Acts Under International Law, David D. Caron
The Interpretation Of National Foreign Investment Laws As Unilateral Acts Under International Law, David D. Caron
David D. Caron
To encourage foreign investment, governments not infrequently adopt a national foreign investment law that sets assurances as to how foreign investment will be treated and provides consent to non-national mechanisms, primarily arbitration before the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (“ICSID” or the “Centre”), for the resolution of disputes. This Chapter focuses in particular on the rules of interpretation to be applied when ascertaining the meaning of a unilateral act such as a national foreign investment law. The Chapter proceeds in the following manner. Part I and II are brief with Part I laying out the textual and …
The Independence And Impartiality Of Legal Systems, David D. Caron
The Independence And Impartiality Of Legal Systems, David D. Caron
David D. Caron
As lawyers, we often focus on the independence and impartiality of a judge or of an arbitrator. At least as important, however, is whether the system itself is independent or impartial. This is particularly true given that the task of building robust rule of law around the world is an initiative near the top of many foreign policy lists and that a central component of robust rule of law is the existence of a system of independent and impartial courts and tribunals. But what does it mean to require independence and impartiality at the level of the system rather than …

9/11 And The Tail Of Historic Events, The American Society Of International Law, David D. Caron
David D. Caron
The continuing influence (the “tail”) of historic events such as 9/11 has numerous dimensions. In international law, the event and the responses to the event can mark a shift in customary law, for example. Such events also influence who we are as a community and what we focus upon.

International Criminal Law: Nature, Origins And A Few Key Issues, Bartram Brown
International Criminal Law: Nature, Origins And A Few Key Issues, Bartram Brown
Bartram Brown
The purpose of international criminal law is to establish the criminal responsibility of individuals for international crimes. Public international law is traditionally focused on the rights and obligations of states, and thus is not particularly well suited to this task. It has adapted through a long and slow historical process, drawing upon multiple sources. Many of the chapters in this Handbook explore to some extent the historical development of international criminal law. I will not attempt to summarize that history in detail, but a few historical observations here will help to explain how international criminal law emerged from its sources …

Rational Treaties: Article Ii, Congressional-Executive Agreements, And International Bargaining, John C. Yoo
Rational Treaties: Article Ii, Congressional-Executive Agreements, And International Bargaining, John C. Yoo
John C Yoo
This paper examines the continuing difference between the Constitution’s Article II treaty, and the congressional-executive agreement’s statutory process, to make international agreements. Rather than approach the problem from a textual or historical perspective, it employs a rational choice model of dispute resolution between nation-states in conditions of weak to little enforcement by supranational institutions. It argues that the choice of a treaty or congressional-executive agreement can make an important difference in overcoming various difficulties in bargaining that arise from imperfect information and commitment problems.
Fixing Failed States, John C. Yoo
Fixing Failed States, John C. Yoo
John C Yoo
Failed states pose one of the deepest challenges to American national security and international peace and stability. Finding a comprehensive and effective solution to the challenges of terrorism, human rights violations, or poverty and economic development requires some understanding of how to restore failed states. The response of the United States and its allies has remained the same: to rebuild the institutions of state control, and, if lucky, to plant a working democracy and a market economy within existing state borders. But many international law scholars remain openly dubious about the ability of states to rebuild – the problem is …

The Lex Mercatoria- Redux Arthur J. Gemmell and Autumn Talbott* ABSTRACT
The lex mercatoria developed as merchant-made, private law. Unlike other bodies of law, the lex mercatoria was not born of statutory or “natural” law but from practical, day-to-day commercial usage. In fact, medieval commercial activities propagated the “most favorable trading practices and customs of the various foreign markets within which [merchants] did business.”
What evolved in the Middle Ages out of necessity stands today as a sometimes controversial testimony to the power of self-regulation through a specialized and practical body of law: the lex mercatoria that has for centuries …
Knights Of The Court: The State Coalition Behind The International Criminal Court, Lawrence R. Atkinson
Knights Of The Court: The State Coalition Behind The International Criminal Court, Lawrence R. Atkinson
L. Rush Atkinson
In its first years of operation, both the caseload and global role of the International Criminal Court (ICC) have steadily increased. The Court owes much of its success to a coalition of states that has championed a strong, independent judiciary to try heinous international crimes. These states have repeatedly clashed with the United States over a number of issues involving the ICC’s jurisdiction. This article examines the pro-ICC coalition and its strategies during these disputes. It argues that the coalition’s success stems from the make-up of its membership, which endows it with varied sources of power and tempers its principled …
