The Humane And Just Alternative For Canada, James C. Hathaway
The Humane And Just Alternative For Canada, James C. Hathaway
Articles
The essence of C-55 ignores the admonition of the Standing Committee that we must be "knowledgeable and sensitive to human rights issues rather than immigration issues. The determination decision is not an immigration matter but instead a decision as to who are Convention refugees in need of Canada's protection." In stark contrast, immigration authorities have spoken of the importance of refugee law reform as a means of "enabling us to continue our strategy of controlled growth in immigration to Canada." By speaking of refugees in the same breath as immigration policy, the department has effectively confused the privilege of immigration …

Agenda: Proceedings Of The Sino-American Conference On Environmental Law, University Of Colorado Boulder. Natural Resources Law Center
Proceedings of the Sino-American Conference on Environmental Law (August 16)
On August 16 through 18, 1987 a delegation of 10 Americans met with a 14-member Chinese delegation to compare the systems of environmental law in the two countries. The meetings were held on and near the campus of the University of Peking in Beijing, People's Republic of China. This program was the fruition of nearly three years of discussion, planning, and organization involving Dean Betsy Levin and the Natural Resources Law Center.
The keynote speaker was Qu Geping, Director of the Chinese National Environmental Protection Bureau (comparable to the Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency). He spoke of the …

The American Advantage: The Value Of Inefficient Litigation, Samuel R. Gross
The American Advantage: The Value Of Inefficient Litigation, Samuel R. Gross
Articles
In a recent article, The German Advantage in Civil Procedure,1 Professor John Langbein claims that the German system of civil litigation is superior to the American; in an earlier article he makes a parallel claim about German criminal procedure.2 Roughly, Professor Langbein argues that by comparison to the German process, American litigation is overly complex, expensive, slow, and unpredictable - in short, inefficient.3 Professor Langbein is not the first and will not be the last to criticize American legal institutions in these terms, but he expresses this criticism particularly well: he is concise and concrete, he describes American practice by …
Review Of Environmental Protection Policy, By E. Rehbinder And R. Stewart, James E. Krier
Review Of Environmental Protection Policy, By E. Rehbinder And R. Stewart, James E. Krier
Reviews
Environmental problems have been on the agenda of the federal government in the United States for roughly a century now, about half of the government's life, and a dominant concern for the last two decades. The European Economic Community ("EEC"), itself a system perhaps on its way to some brand of federalism, presents a similar but much foreshortened picture. The EEC has been concerned with the environment for about the last half of its thirty year life. Environmental Protection Policy' ("EPP") is a richly detailed study of environmental policy in these two very different systems.
A Comparative Approach To Extraterritoriality In The Fields Of Antitrust And Export Controls, Andreas Knaul
A Comparative Approach To Extraterritoriality In The Fields Of Antitrust And Export Controls, Andreas Knaul
LLM Theses and Essays
This work will show that all isolated proposals for the solution of the extraterritoriality problem are fundamentally insufficient. Only a combination of negotiation, agreements and arbitration comes near to a solution of the problem. Taking the example of antitrust and export control laws the author will describe and analyze the different approaches currently discussed to cope with the fact that one sovereign state tries to extend its jurisdiction into the field of another sovereign state. It is to be shown that no approach can succeed as long as the substantive laws in the antitrust and export control field are different.
Equal Protection Limitations On Choice Of Law Decisions, Anne-Marie Witters
Equal Protection Limitations On Choice Of Law Decisions, Anne-Marie Witters
LLM Theses and Essays
In this paper, the author seeks to clarify the implications of contemporary Fourteenth Amendment theory for state autonomy in deciding conflict cases, concentrating on state discrimination against non-residents and aliens. The author argues that laws which distinguish locals from residents of other states should be reviewed under strict scrutiny, just as laws that discriminate against aliens. Also U.S. choice of law methodologies from both past and present are discussed, with the conclusion that modern theories violate the Equal Protection Clause of their systematic preference for forum residents and parochial results. After a review of the European conflicts system, the choice …

Redefining Refugee: A Proposal For Relief For The Victims Of Civil Strife, 24 San Diego L. Rev. 449 (1987), Michael G. Heyman
UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship
Viewing the displaced victims of civil strife in El Salvador as a paradigm, this Article examines the predicament of such victims, surveys various solutions purportedly existing under current law, and concludes that the complex mosaic of United States immigration law fails to offer relief or remedy. Moreover, other countries, such as Mexico, do not offer any real assistance. In light of these deficiencies, the Article proposes that current asylum law be amended to redefine "refugee" to include victims of civil strife in order to further humanitarian goals.
Two Firsts: A Comparative Study Of The American And The Polish Constitutions, Rett R. Ludwikowski
Two Firsts: A Comparative Study Of The American And The Polish Constitutions, Rett R. Ludwikowski
Scholarly Articles
This article is only an introductory study to further inquiry. It focuses on the first two constitutions in the world: the American Constitution of 1787 and the Polish Constitution of May 3, 1791. Furthermore, the emphasis of this essay will be disposed of in a different manner than in the above mentioned studies. The author's purpose is not to add another article to the numerous works already devoted to American Constitutional development; instead, the following remarks will emphasize Polish constitutional history, and treat the American constitutional experience as a background for comparison.

Counsel For The Accused: Metamorphosis In Spanish Constitutional Rights, Henry Mcgee
Faculty Articles
The article begins with a discussion of the social and political background that influenced the emergence of the constitutionally guaranteed right to counsel in Spanish law. Next, it traces the constitutional development and legislative refinements of the right to counsel. It then considers judicial refinements of that right. The article concludes with a comparison of the Spanish process of articulating the right to counsel with the parallel process in the United States and what such differences bode for U.S. scholars.

The Institutions, Laws And Values Of The Hopi Indians: A Stable State Society, John W. Ragsdale Jr
The Institutions, Laws And Values Of The Hopi Indians: A Stable State Society, John W. Ragsdale Jr
Faculty Works
The Hopi Indians of northeastern Arizona have existed as a stable or steady state society for a thousand years or more, and, even though they have felt the impact of white growth society in this century, they have maintained a greater cultural integrity than any other native people in the United States. This Article examines traditional Hopi values and institutions, especially their law. Hopi thinking and social organization were shaped by a profound reverence for their environment and an equally profound awareness of the constraints it imposed. With its growing sense of a need for balance with the environment, modern …
A Government By Judges: An Historical Re-View, Michael Henry Davis
A Government By Judges: An Historical Re-View, Michael Henry Davis
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
In 1921, Edouard Lambert, a professor of law at Lyon specializing in comparative studies and founder of an Institute of Comparative Law there, published a book, Le Gouvernement des judges et la lutte contra la legislation sociale aux Etats-Unis, thus singlehandedly creating the phrase, a "government of judges", to denote a truly unconstrained system of judicial review which could not be limited even by constitutional amendment. The phrase quickly entered the parlance of French public law and even that of popular culture, deriving much of its force, no doubt, from the historical French aversion to a strong judiciary, eventually becoming …
