To See Oneself As A Target Of A Justified Revolution: Thomas Jefferson And Gabriel's Uprising, William G. Merkel May 2003

To See Oneself As A Target Of A Justified Revolution: Thomas Jefferson And Gabriel's Uprising, William G. Merkel

William G. Merkel

Examines Jefferson's response to Gabriel's Uprising and argues that Jefferson employed the language of criminal theory in urging Virginia Governor James Monroe to spare the lives of convicted conspirators for the sake of justice and the state's image before the enlightened world. Jefferson's analysis of the slave rebels' acts and intentions makes clear that - at least in abstract, philosophical terms - Jefferson saw the slave uprising as justified, while he viewed white Virginia's resort to deadly force to counter the revolt as at best excusable.

Regulatory Mismatch In The International Market For Legal Services, Carole Silver May 2003

Regulatory Mismatch In The International Market For Legal Services, Carole Silver

Carole Silver

The increasingly international reach of law owes part of its momentum to individual lawyers and law firms that function as carriers of ideas, processes and policies. U.S. lawyers are important participants in this expanding influence of law, as they educate, train and deploy individuals educated and licensed in the U.S. and abroad. This article examines the ways in which law firms internationalize, and considers the regulatory environment governing crucial interactions between U.S. and foreign-educated lawyers. It builds upon prior work that investigated the impact on U.S. law firms of the development of an international market for legal services and the …

A Journal Of One's Own? Beginning The Project Of Historicizing The Development Of Women's Law Journals, Felice J. Batlan Jan 2003

A Journal Of One's Own? Beginning The Project Of Historicizing The Development Of Women's Law Journals, Felice J. Batlan

Felice J Batlan

Since the 1970s, feminism has helped transform the university and the production of knowledge. Not only have increasing numbers of female students, professors, and administrators entered universities, they have also created women's studies programs and courses, which have been slowly integrated into the various disciplines and university curricula. Further, feminism has spurred scholars to question traditional ways of knowing and teaching, academic disciplines, categorizations of knowledge, scholarly methodologies, and the university's separation from the broader community. One component in this production and distribution of new knowledge has been the establishment of feminist academic journals such as Feminist Studies (1972), Women's …

"... Inmersos en la crisis económica, política e institucional más grande de la Argentina y en momentos en que enfrenta un cambio de gobierno, parece oportuno reflexionar sobre la Corte Suprema de la Nación Argentina por las cruciales funciones que debe cumplir en la reconstrucción del país y que padece, además de delicados problemas institucionales, problemas funcionales que afectan tan profundamente su misión que ni aún con los mejores jueces podría cumplirla cabalmente..."

What Federal Gun Control Can Teach Us About The Dmca's Anti-Trafficking Provisions, Alfred C. Yen Dec 2002

What Federal Gun Control Can Teach Us About The Dmca's Anti-Trafficking Provisions, Alfred C. Yen

Alfred C. Yen

This article studies the so-called "anti-trafficking provisions" of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") by drawing insight from federal gun control. Among other things, the anti-trafficking provisions criminalize the distribution of technology that circumvents the encryption schemes sometimes used to protect digital files. This prohibition even applies to the sale of circumvention technology for lawful purposes. Not surprisingly, this result has generated controversy. Consumer advocates and civil libertarians have argued that it is wrong to criminalize the sale of technology that has lawful use, particularly when that criminalization makes it difficult - if not impossible - for the public to …
