Review Of Kingship, Law And Society: Criminal Justice In The Reign Of Henry V, Thomas A. Green
Review Of Kingship, Law And Society: Criminal Justice In The Reign Of Henry V, Thomas A. Green
Reviews
Edward Powell's splendid study of Henry V's strategy for keeping peace among magnate and gentry factions represents an important contribution to the history of criminal justice. After providing a panoramic view of the machinery of criminal justice, Powell analyzes the extent to which that machinery was effective as between the Crown, at the center, and the upper echelons of society in the provinces. His conclusion, not surprisingly, is that the regular processes of common-law criminal administration could not easily be deployed at those levels. But Powell does not let the matter drop there. Kingship, Law, and Society presents a lucid …

Policy And Legal Aspects Of Technology Transfer From The United States To China, Yongman Zhang
Policy And Legal Aspects Of Technology Transfer From The United States To China, Yongman Zhang
LLM Theses and Essays
One of the major international transactions today is the transfer of technology between nations. Because the U.S. and China are on opposite ends of the technology spectrum, one an advanced technological nation and the other technologically backward, they make excellent trading partners of technology. China’s history of self-reliance and its modern Open Door policy to realize its Four Modernizations are reviewed. This policy of openness is the key to the modernization of China’s economy through the importing of foreign technology. Likewise, the evolution of U.S. policy toward trade with China is analyzed. The U.S. has moved from a policy of …
A Review Of Taiwan’S Fair Trade Law Draft By Referring To The U.S. Antitrust Laws, Min-Huang Su
A Review Of Taiwan’S Fair Trade Law Draft By Referring To The U.S. Antitrust Laws, Min-Huang Su
LLM Theses and Essays
Due to the rapid industrialization and commercialization of Taiwan’s economy, many of Taiwan’s old laws regulating economic activity have been rendered obsolete. The lack of proper regulation of modern economic activities has led to the formation of many monopolies and oligopolies in Taiwan which practice price-fixing and output restrictions. The Taiwanese government has responded to this problem with a new antitrust statute, known as the Fair Trade Law (FTL), and a draft FTL was formally adopted in 1986. The strengths and weaknesses of the draft FTL are analyzed with regards to monopolies and oligopolies, mergers and combinations, and concerted actions. …
Approach To Horizontal Restraint: Reliance On Exemption From Antimonopoly Act In Japan As Contrasted With Antitrust Laws In The United States, Yutaka Sumii
LLM Theses and Essays
American politicians and businessmen have criticized the Antimonopoly Act, Japanese antitrust legislation, for allowing horizontal restraints on trade known as cartels. This paper compares and contrasts U.S. antitrust laws with regards to horizontal restrains on trade from that of Japan. A highlighted difference between U.S. and Japanese antitrust legislation is the use of exemptions. The Antimonopoly Act provides for more exemptions immunizing a cartel, such as exceptions for cartels formed during a depression or when the defendants have little market power, than does similar legislation in the U.S. To illustrate how the exemption for cartels in a depressed industry applies …

Offenders Abroad: The Case For Nationality-Based Criminal Jurisdiction, Geoffrey R. Watson
Offenders Abroad: The Case For Nationality-Based Criminal Jurisdiction, Geoffrey R. Watson
Scholarly Articles
When a host state does not prosecute a U.S. national who commits a violent crime abroad, the United States does not exercise jurisdiction. Should the United States eschew nationality jurisdiction, when it may provide the only basis for prosecution? Part II of this article traces the evolution of nationalitybased criminal jurisdiction in U.S. law and asserts that the United States has in fact embraced such jurisdiction in the past, usually to ensure that U.S. offenders abroad were tried by U.S. courts rather than foreign tribunals. Part III examines the current U.S. jurisdictional scheme, which relies on foreign states to prosecute …
Recent Developments - Cinematic Sex And Censorship In Indian Film, Anita Ramasastry
Recent Developments - Cinematic Sex And Censorship In Indian Film, Anita Ramasastry
Articles
This Recent Development examines the increasing presence of cinematic rape in general-audience Indian films and discusses the potential cultural origins of the cinematic portrait of Indian women as chaste subordinates to men and as frequent subjects of violence. To account for this trend, this Recent Development outlines the legal guidelines governing Indian film censorship, and in particular the guidelines regulating sexuality. From this vantage point, the use of various suggestive cinematic techniques, including the regular portrayal of rape, may be seen as attempts by directors to circumvent government censure of kissing and other intimate relations on-screen. Finally, this Recent Development …
National Socialism And The Rule Of Law, Donald P. Kommers
National Socialism And The Rule Of Law, Donald P. Kommers
Journal Articles
Ingo Muller's book, originally published in 1987 as Furchtbare Juristen: Die unbewaltigte Vergangenheit unserer Justiz (literally "Dreadful Jurists: The Remorseless Past of Our Judiciary"), describes the moral collapse of the German legal profession and its role in facilitating the construction and maintenance of the Nazi regime. Gracefully translated by Deborah Lucas Schneider, Hitler's Justice seeks, first, to show how legal professionals betrayed their trust as lawyers, prosecutors, and judges and, second, to assess the degree to which Germany in the postwar period reformed its legal system, purged the judiciary of former Nazis, and rededicated itself to the rule of law. …

The Benevolent Paternalism Of Japanese Criminal Justice, Daniel H. Foote
The Benevolent Paternalism Of Japanese Criminal Justice, Daniel H. Foote
Articles
Models for a criminal-justice system based on an ethos of rehabilitation and reintegration-such as Llewellyn's "parental" and Griffiths' "family" models-have been regarded as idealistic but unworkable in the real world, except perhaps in totalitarian or primitive societies. Professor Foote, however, has found in Japan just such a model, which he labels "benevolent paternalism." The Japanese criminal-justice system is benevolent in that its goal is to achieve reformation and reintegration into society through lenient sanctions tailored to the offender's particular circumstances. The system is paternalism in that it allows substantial discretion to the state in both gathering and using information about …
Foreword: The Constitution Of Responsibility, Steven G. Calabresi, Gary S. Lawson
Foreword: The Constitution Of Responsibility, Steven G. Calabresi, Gary S. Lawson
Faculty Scholarship
The American legal academy is decidedly nationalistic. Comparative law tends to be a minor part of the law school curriculum, and discussion of alternative legal systems almost never finds its way into mainstream courses like constitutional law. As a result, much that is distinctive about American constitutionalism, and the American legal system in general, is often taken for granted. The federal Constitution, for example, says much about governmental structure, power, and limitations, but virtually nothing about the obligations of citizens to one another or to the government.' This feature of the American Constitution starkly sets it apart from many of …
Child Protection Legal Process: Comparing The United States And Great Britain, Donald N. Duquette
Child Protection Legal Process: Comparing The United States And Great Britain, Donald N. Duquette
Articles
The legal response to child maltreatment-or the risk of child maltreatment-varies greatly from society to society and has been little studied, in part because of the idiosyncrasies of community values, social organization, history and legal traditions.2 Cross-country comparison of child abuse and neglect is especially difficult because the ambiguity of social standards and the imprecision of terms used makes it difficult to define the specific behavior one is studying. Even though child maltreatment is widely prohibited, the definition of what actually constitutes child abuse and neglect is not clear within a particular country, much less uniform from one society to …
Entail In Two Cities: A Comparative Study Of Long Term Leases In Birmingham, England And Baltimore, Maryland 1700-1900, Garrett Power
Entail In Two Cities: A Comparative Study Of Long Term Leases In Birmingham, England And Baltimore, Maryland 1700-1900, Garrett Power
Faculty Scholarship
Urban planning is often thought of as a conscious collection of governmental choices made as to the shape and social structure of the city. Thoughtful and forward looking public policies are viewed as mapping out the future. Overlooked or understated in this estimation are the less purposeful influences on the urban morphology and city sociology. This paper examines one such influence, land tenure, by taking a comparative look at the residential development of Birmingham, England, and Baltimore, Maryland, between 1700 and 1900. Birmingham and Baltimore both housed their working class populations in densely-packed dwellings with shared party walls. And both …
