Section 4 Of The Hindu Succession Act Of 1956, Hari Priya Jan 2010

Section 4 Of The Hindu Succession Act Of 1956, Hari Priya

Hari Priya

A brief write up in the form of a comprehensive article aiming to critically evaluate the Section 4 of the Hindu Succession Act of 1956. The law, as it stands amended, has not only brought about changes in the succession laws of Hindus, but has also paved the way for some positive modifications in the law of partition, alienation of property, inheritance and adoption, and the paper is an effort to evaluate this provision of the law.

Pro Bono In Action: An Immigrant's Need For Representation, Jill E. Family Dec 2009

Pro Bono In Action: An Immigrant's Need For Representation, Jill E. Family

Jill E. Family

Legal representation always matters, but the need for representation intensifies when the most basic rights are at
stake. In immigration removal (deportation) cases, the federal government adjudicates whether an individual may
live and work in the United States, or whether that person must relocate to another country. Reasons for wanting
to be in the United States vary, from a desire to remain with family to a fear for one's life in a home country. In these immigration proceedings, an executive branch employee, an immigration judge, applies the Immigration and Nationality Act, a body of statutes long recognized to rival the …


Law 00117 Administrative Law 3rd Edition, Anne Louise Schillmoller Dec 2009

Law 00117 Administrative Law 3rd Edition, Anne Louise Schillmoller

Anne Schillmoller

Robin Creyke and John McMillan suggest that ‘the broad purpose of administrative law is to safeguard the rights and interests of people and corporations in their dealings with government agencies.’ Just as important, however, is the role played by administrative law in engendering sound decision-making and decision making processes. In this sense, administrative law is not just about placing controls on government action, nor safeguarding the rights of individuals in their dealings with the State, but it also provides the means by which good and accountable government administration is facilitated. The oversight of administrative action by courts and tribunals, together …


Chevron's Sliding Scale In Wyeth V. Levine, 129 S. Ct. 1187 (2009), Gregory M. Dickinson Dec 2009

Chevron's Sliding Scale In Wyeth V. Levine, 129 S. Ct. 1187 (2009), Gregory M. Dickinson

Gregory M Dickinson

In Wyeth v. Levine the Supreme Court once again failed to reconcile the interpretive presumption against preemption with the sometimes competing Chevron doctrine of deference to agencies' reasonable statutory interpretations. Rather than resolve the issue of which principle should govern where the two principles point toward opposite results, the Court continued its recent practice of applying both principles halfheartedly, carving exceptions, and giving neither its proper weight.

This analysis situates Wyeth within the larger framework of the Court's recent preemption decisions in an effort to explain the Court's hesitancy to resolve the conflict. The analysis concludes that the Court, motivated …

Regulação Cambial Entre A Ilegalidade E A Arbitrariedade: O Caso Da Compensação Privada De Créditos Internacionais, Bruno Meyerhof Salama Dec 2009

Regulação Cambial Entre A Ilegalidade E A Arbitrariedade: O Caso Da Compensação Privada De Créditos Internacionais, Bruno Meyerhof Salama

Bruno Meyerhof Salama

A compensação privada de créditos internacionais é um instituto jurídico que ainda hoje integra a regulação cambial brasileira. O instituto foi disciplinado em um decreto editado em 1933 durante a Era Vargas, e reiterado em um Decreto-Lei de 1946. Esses dispositivos contêm uma redação vaga que genericamente veda a realização de “operações [internacionais] que não transitem pelos bancos habilitados a operar em câmbio” e a “compensação privada de créditos [internacionais]”. O presente trabalho examina a compensação privada de créditos, pondo o tema em contexto histórico. Aqui apresento essencialmente dois argumentos. Em primeiro lugar, a grande insegurança jurídica que circunda a …
