Telling Stories About Cases And Clients: The Ethics Of Narrative, Binny Miller
Telling Stories About Cases And Clients: The Ethics Of Narrative, Binny Miller
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic 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.

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic 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 …
The Ottawa Convention Banning Landmines, The Role Of International Non-Governmental Organizations And The Idea Of International Civil Society, Kenneth Anderson
The Ottawa Convention Banning Landmines, The Role Of International Non-Governmental Organizations And The Idea Of International Civil Society, Kenneth Anderson
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
Establishment of the Ottawa Convention Banning Landmines was regarded by many international law scholars, international activists, diplomats and international organization personnel as a defining, 'democratizing' change in the way international law is made. By bringing international NGOs - what is often called 'international civil society' - into the diplomatic and international law-making process, many believe that the Ottawa Convention represented both a democratization of, and a new source of legitimacy for, international law, in part because it was presumably made 'from below'. This article sharply questions whether the Ottawa Convention and the process leading up to it represents and real …

The Legacy Of Geographical Morality And Colonialism: A Historical Assessment Of The Current Crusade Against Corruption, Padideh Ala'i
The Legacy Of Geographical Morality And Colonialism: A Historical Assessment Of The Current Crusade Against Corruption, Padideh Ala'i
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
This Article examines the legacy of the rule of geographical morality - that is the norm by which a citizen of the country in the North may engage in acts of corruption in any country in the South, including bribery and extortion, without the attachment of any moral condemnation to those acts. Part I of the Article begins by reviewing the impeachment trial of Warren Hastings, who served as Governor General of the Bengal from 1772-1785, on charges of bribery and corruption. It was during that impeachment proceeding when the words "principles of geographical morality" were used by, the prosectuor, …

Judicial Lobbying At The Wto: The Debate Over The Use Of Amicus Curiae Briefs And The U.S. Experience, Padideh Ala'i
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
The continuing debate over the use of amicus curiae briefs at the World Trade Organization (“WTO”) raises interesting questions about the influence of the U.S. legal system on the WTO dispute settlement process. Specifically, it brings to the surface differences between legal cultures and the fact that the U.S. legal culture with its emphasis on procedure is not readily transferable to the WTO. Comparing the controversy regarding the use of amicus curiae briefs before WTO Panels and the Appellate Body with the history and evolution of the institution of amicus curiae before the U.S. Supreme Court may help explain the …

Guest Editor's Introduction To The Symposium: War And The United States Military, Kenneth Anderson
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
Millennia come and millennia go, and the fact of war remains unchanged. People still fight for territory, the land of their fathers, Lebensraum, control of the seas, gold, silver and diamonds, oil, water, pillage and the spoils of war, resources of all kinds, the glorification of leaders, gods of many faiths, politics, ideology, conquest, the establishment, peace and stability of empires, the right to be left alone, and sometimes, so we are told, justice, resistance to aggression, and the preservation of peace. Measured in millennial time, very little about war has changed, and, further, nothing distinguished the passage from 1999 …

Conflicts Between U.S. Law And International Treaties Concerning Geographical Indications, Christine Farley
Conflicts Between U.S. Law And International Treaties Concerning Geographical Indications, Christine Farley
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
It should not be surprising that the United States is not a major proponent of the protection of geographical indications. Countries that stand to benefit the most from this protection are those that have a long history of traditional industries, such as many European countries. These historical differences may help explain the stance that the United States has taken with regard to the protection of geographical indications, as compared to its stance towards other intellectual property rights negotiated in TRIPs Agreement. But the inability of the U.S. to benefit to the same extent as European countries, because of its apparent …
The Liability Of International Arbitrators: A Comparative Analysis And Proposal For Qualified Immunity, Susan Franck
The Liability Of International Arbitrators: A Comparative Analysis And Proposal For Qualified Immunity, Susan Franck
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
With the advent of the global economy and the increasing number of international commercial transactions, arbitration has become an important dispute resolution option. Arbitration is traditionally extolled because it helps to resolve commercial disputes economically, confidentially, and finally within a neutral forum.' Additionally, unlike national court judgments, arbitration provides an internationally recognized method for enforcing awards.' As a result of these benefits, arbitration is now the preferred dispute resolution mechanism for international commercial disagreements. Unfortunately, because of perceived misconduct by arbitrators and the risk of party manipulation, the arbitration process has come under increasing attack through civil actions against arbitrators.
Reflections On Being A Law School Dean In An Interconnected World, Claudio Grossman
Reflections On Being A Law School Dean In An Interconnected World, Claudio Grossman
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
After reaching a certain level of momentum, a law school can pretty much run itself. Even in the absence of leadership, the law school will continue to function as it has in the past; students will come each year, and classes will be held. A sort of inertia results, in which nothing changes; things continue as they always have. Inertia is a dangerous thing in education, and it is the responsibility of the law school's dean to prevent it. A law school dean is charged with contributing to the development of a vision that will guide the law school in …

Nato Intervention On Trial: The Legal Case That Was Never Made, Paul Williams, Michael Scharff
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
The United States and its NATO allies have defended the air strikes against Yugoslavia on moral grounds (to stop atrocities) and security grounds (to prevent the conflict from spilling over to neighboring European countries), but curiously they have never articulated a legal justification for the intervention. The nearest the NATO countries have come to articulating a legal rationale has been to cite various resolutions of the Security Council, in which the Council has determined that the actions of Yugoslavia in Kosovo constitute a threat to peace and security in the region and, pursuant to Chapter VII of the UN Charter, …

Symposium: Antitrust At The Millennium (Part I), Jonathan Baker
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
To commemorate the new millennium, the Antitrust Law Journal commissioned essays from a diverse group of antitrust specialists-legal academics, practitioners, and economists. The authors were asked to take a decision or other significant text from antitrust's past and use it as a springboard to discuss some important aspect of antitrust's future. The results of this unique publishing project will be printed in two parts, the first half in Volume 68, Issue 1 (this issue) and the second half in Volume 68, Issue 3 (later this year).
