Ethics Beyond The Horizon: Why Regulate The Global Practice Of Law?, Christopher J. Whelan
Ethics Beyond The Horizon: Why Regulate The Global Practice Of Law?, Christopher J. Whelan
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
This Article explores whether global self-regulation of the legal profession is desirable. The Author explains that as global law practice has grown over the past decade, so has the desire to formulate global rules of professional responsibility. The Article focuses on large law firms offering transnational legal services in many countries. The Author addresses whether and for whom the aspiration to deliver core values at the global level is desirable. He does so by comparing the rhetoric of global self-regulation with the reality of global law practice. In reality, the global law practice has undermined the power of nation states …
Red Light, Green Light: Has China Achieved Its Goals Through The 2000 Internet Regulations?, Clara Liang
Red Light, Green Light: Has China Achieved Its Goals Through The 2000 Internet Regulations?, Clara Liang
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
In the mid-1990s, when the Internet began to burgeon in China, many thought that the rule of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) would finally come to an end.

The CCP responded with both physical and regulatory limits on the use of the Internet by the Chinese people.

After reviewing the philosophical and historical development of the idea of universality, Part II argues that none of the traditional justifications for conceiving of international human rights as universal succeed. Cultural pluralism therefore must be accepted as a descriptive truth. But to acknowledge the cultural contingency of values as a descriptive claim does not, by itself, undermine the normative claim that human rights are, or should be, universal. Instead, it points to the need to justify universality within …
Cyprus In Europe: Seizing The Momentum Of Nice, Patrick R. Hugg
Cyprus In Europe: Seizing The Momentum Of Nice, Patrick R. Hugg
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
In December 2000 the European Council Summit in Nice fulfilled the promise for European Union enlargement made at the Helsinki Summit the year before. The leaders of the EU Member States reaffirmed their commitment to the accession of the applicant countries, making possible the broad re-unification of the continent under democratic rule of law and free market economies. This Article focuses specifically on the accession of the island of Cyprus, Europe's remaining divided state, poised strategically between East and West. The island's armed stand-off presents the clearest example of legal conflict between two ethnic communities in a discrete geographical territory, …
