Treaty Exit In The United States: Insights From The United Kingdom Or South Africa?, Curtis A. Bradley, Laurence R. Helfer
Treaty Exit In The United States: Insights From The United Kingdom Or South Africa?, Curtis A. Bradley, Laurence R. Helfer
Articles
Courts in the United Kingdom and South Africa have recently issued important rulings that have constrained the executive’s authority to withdraw from treaties in those countries. This essay considers whether these rulings might offer insights for treaty exit issues in the United States. We first provide an overview of U.S. law and practice regarding the termination of international agreements. We next summarize the U.K. and South African decisions, which required parliamentary approval for pulling out of treaties establishing the European Union and the International Criminal Court (ICC), respectively. Finally, we consider the relevance of these rulings for treaty withdrawals in …

Limited Inalienability Rules, Ariel Porat, Stephen D. Sugarman
Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers
Most people’s entitlements are protected by a property rule, which means that their holders can sell them for a price. But some important entitlements are protected by an inalienability rule, and hence cannot be sold under any circumstances. For example, people cannot sell their organs. In most jurisdictions, women cannot be surrogate mothers for a fee (only for reimbursement of costs). People cannot sell their right not to be exposed to highly life-threatening conditions. Most constitutional rights are not transferrable. People cannot reassign their legal entitlements to social benefits provided by the government. Tort victims in many jurisdictions cannot sell …

Sexual Harassment And Corporate Law, Daniel Hemel, Dorothy S. Lund
Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers
The year 2017 marked an inflection point in the evolution of social norms regarding sexual harassment. While victims of workplace harassment had long suffered in silence, the surfacing of serious sexual misconduct allegations against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein encouraged many more victims to tell their personal stories of abuse. These scandals have spread beyond Hollywood to the rest of corporate America, leading to the departures of several high-profile executives as well as sharp stock price declines at a number of firms. In the past year, shareholders at four publicly traded companies have filed lawsuits alleging that corporate directors and officers …

The Marginal Revenue Rule In Cost-Benefit Analysis, David A. Weisbach, Daniel J. Hemel, Jennifer Nou
Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers
In April, Treasury and the Office of Management and Budget released a memorandum of agreement stating that tax related regulations will be subject to centralized review by OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA).1 Importantly, the memorandum instructs Treasury to give OIRA a formal cost-benefit analysis of any regulatory action that has an annual non-revenue effect on the economy of $100 million or more. Regulations that create interagency inconsistencies or raise “novel” legal or policy issues are also subject to OIRA review. For these “significant” regulations, the memorandum requires a less formal cost-benefit analysis.
These new mandates require …
Exiting Congressional-Executive Agreements, Curtis A. Bradley
Exiting Congressional-Executive Agreements, Curtis A. Bradley
Articles
Commentators have argued that, even if the president has the unilateral authority to terminate Article II treaties concluded with the Senate’s advice and consent, the president lacks the unilateral authority to terminate “congressional-executive agreements” concluded with majority congressional approval, such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). This Article challenges that claim. If one accepts a presidential authority to terminate Article II treaties, this Article contends, there is no persuasive reason to conclude differently with respect to congressional-executive agreements. Congressional-executive agreements have become largely interchangeable with Article II treaties as a matter of domestic law and practice. For example, …
Presidential Control Over International Law, Curtis A. Bradley, Jack L. Goldsmith
Presidential Control Over International Law, Curtis A. Bradley, Jack L. Goldsmith
Articles
Presidents have come to dominate the making, interpretation, and termination of international law for the United States. Often without specific congressional concurrence, and sometimes even when it is likely that Congress would disagree, Presidents assert the authority to (a) make a vast array of international obligations for the United States, through both written agreements and the development of customary international law; (b) make increasingly consequential political commitments for the United States on practically any topic; (c) interpret these obligations and commitments; and (d) terminate or withdraw from these obligations and commitments. While others have examined pieces of this picture, no …
