中港兩地痛楚及失去人生樂趣賠償法律比較, Kwok Keung Chow
中港兩地痛楚及失去人生樂趣賠償法律比較, Kwok Keung Chow
Hong Kong Institute of Business Studies Working Paper Series
本文主要透過對中、港兩地法院關於人身傷害,侵權案的審判根據和準則,進行搜集和比較分析,當中特別針對有關案件中有否將受害者的痛楚和失去人生樂趣這賠償項目一併考慮,若有的話,計算的準則叉是怎樣等等問題作出比較,初步的結論是,本港人身傷害侵權案的受害者,一般可以獲得隨社會進步和時間而調整、並佔總、賠償金額較大比率的痛楚和失去人生樂趣的補償。不過,在國內侵權法的範疇內,卻沒有相關的賠償項目,對受害者並不公平。因此,本文建議國內應檢討全面補償的觀念能否適用。

The Myth Of Context In Politics And Law, Anita Krug
The Myth Of Context In Politics And Law, Anita Krug
All Faculty Scholarship
Visions of group-based rights in political and legal theory strive to be both antiessentialist and antiuniversalist. They reject an essentialist view of the self — a view that there is a single experience common to all persons composing, for example, a particular ethnic, racial, or gender group — on the basis that a person’s identity is context-based and contingent, and cannot be defined solely by such factors as race or gender. They also reject the universalist notion of an abstract equality of persons that is at the basis of traditional conceptions of individual rights. In short, group rights are based …

Convoluted Essence: Indian Rights And The Federal Trust Doctrine, David E. Wilkins
Convoluted Essence: Indian Rights And The Federal Trust Doctrine, David E. Wilkins
Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications
In recent years there has been growing resentment from what one might term, for lack of a better phrase, the "anti-trust" segment. These commentators have offered a host of arguments to support their position: the trust doctrine has been and is still used primarily to "give moral color to depredations of tribes;" it is "an assertion of unrestrained political power over Indians, power that may be exercised without Indian consent and without substantial legal restraint;" and it is really a "metaphor for federal control of Indian affairs without signifying any enforceable rights of the tribal `beneficiaries.'" Yet others suggest that …
A Writer’S Board And A Student-Run Writing Clinic: Making The Writing Community Visible At Law Schools, Terrill Pollman
A Writer’S Board And A Student-Run Writing Clinic: Making The Writing Community Visible At Law Schools, Terrill Pollman
Scholarly Works
In this article the author explains institutional programs she has developed in response to a common problem, students’ frustrations with the limits of a law school’s legal writing program. The author proposes establishing a Writers’ Board, where members of the law school community who care most about legal research and writing training can work together to create opportunities for students to learn more. The Writers’ Board’s primary project is a Writing Clinic that offers diverse ways to improve legal research and writing on campus. Despite problems that are likely to arise when creating a Writers’ Board and Clinic, the author …
Genetics, Genetic Testing, And The Specter Of Discrimination: A Discussion Using Hypothetical Cases, Richard H. Underwood, Ronald C. Cadle
Genetics, Genetic Testing, And The Specter Of Discrimination: A Discussion Using Hypothetical Cases, Richard H. Underwood, Ronald C. Cadle
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
A "genetic revolution" is upon us. Techniques for genetic testing have increased in sophistication, and an international effort to map and sequence human DNA—The Human Genome Project ("HGP")—is now well under way. We are beginning to exploit our new found genetic knowledge. Recognition of the relationship between developments in genetic science, law, and public policy, is creeping into the "literature" and into the law school curriculum. Even the popular 60 Minutes television "news magazine" recently did a program on the perils of genetic testing. Still, for lawyers and policymakers at least, the material is not all that accessible.

A Post-Conference Reflection On Separate Ethical Aspirations For Adr's Not-So-Separate Practitioners, John Q. Barrett
A Post-Conference Reflection On Separate Ethical Aspirations For Adr's Not-So-Separate Practitioners, John Q. Barrett
Faculty Publications
At "The Lawyer's Duties and Responsibilities in Dispute Resolution" Symposium at South Texas College of Law, Oct. 25, 1996, a central topic of discussion was ADR's ethical separateness. There was a shared sense that ADR providers and practitioners confront a range of ethical issues that differ from those that confront non-ADR lawyers. On this view, because rules of professional responsibility are geared toward more adversarial forms of legal practice, they at best provide no answers and may provide wrong answers to ethical questions that arise in ADR. One solution would be to create new, separate, "role-specific" ethics rules for ADR …

Law And Biology: Toward An Integrated Model Of Human Behavior, Owen D. Jones
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
As first year law students unhappily discover, the meaning of "law" is frustratingly protean, shifting by usage and user. Depending on whom you ask, law is a system of rules, a body of precedents, a legislative enactment, a collection of norms, a process by which social goals are pursued, or some dynamic mixture of these. Law's principal purpose is to define and protect individual rights, to ensure public order, to resolve disputes, to redistribute wealth, to dispense justice, to prevent or compensate for injury, to optimize economic efficiency, or perhaps to do something else. And yet one thing is irreducibly …
Disparate Effects In The Criminal Justice System: A Response To Randall Kennedy's Comment, Janai S. Nelson
Disparate Effects In The Criminal Justice System: A Response To Randall Kennedy's Comment, Janai S. Nelson
Faculty Publications
For many African Americans, the criminal justice system symbolizes an oppressive force, and yet, is a necessary institution in an increasingly lawless society. African Americans are at the same time its victims and beneficiaries, although various sentiments exist regarding the extent to which they are either. It is precisely this paradox, coupled with the promulgation of certain criminal legislation and legal precedent which directly and, potentially, adversely affect the African-American community that inspired the author to address the issues and arguments raised in Randall Kennedy's The State, Criminal Law, and Racial Discrimination: A Comment, 107 Harv. L. Rev. 1255 (1994), …
Class Action Chaos? The Theory Of The Core And An Analysis Of Opt-Out Rights In Mass Tort Class Actions, Michael A. Perino
Class Action Chaos? The Theory Of The Core And An Analysis Of Opt-Out Rights In Mass Tort Class Actions, Michael A. Perino
Faculty Publications
From breast implants to cigarettes, mass tort class actions are a prominent and controversial part of the contemporary litigation landscape. A critical component of these actions is the ability of class members to “opt out” and thereby exclude themselves from the effect of any class judgment. The tension between individual autonomy and the desire for global resolution of mass controversies has led to an intense debate concerning the circumstances under which opt-out rights should be constrained, if at all.
This Article makes five distinct contributions to the class action literature. First, the Article applies the game theoretic concept of the …

Gateway Widens Doorway To Imposing Unfair Binding Arbitration On Consumers, Jean R. Sternlight

Hill v. Gateway, is but the most extreme example of a series of court decisions that allow large companies to impose potentially unfair binding arbitration agreements on unwitting consumers. The outcome in Gateway, however, is questionable on federal statutory, common law, and constitutional grounds.

The Polygamous Heart?, Katharine B. Silbaugh
The Polygamous Heart?, Katharine B. Silbaugh
Faculty Scholarship
Workers, particularly women, are increasingly vocal about the poverty of family time that their jobs allow them. But what if a company responded by offering family-friendly policies that would reduce work hours, like job-sharing and parttime work, and no one signed up for them? What if instead workers signed up for “familyfriendly” services like long-hour on-site daycare that made it easier to stay at work longer? Sociologist Arlie Hochschild seeks to explain this puzzle in The Time Bind: When Work Becomes Home s Home Becomes Work. She portrays the modern workplace as carefully engineered to be friendly, relaxed, supportive, appreciative …
Discovery In International Legal Developments Year In Review: 1996, Christopher J. Borgen
Discovery In International Legal Developments Year In Review: 1996, Christopher J. Borgen
Faculty Publications
American procedure regarding international discovery stems from 28 U.S.C. §§ 1781-83, and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure (FRCP or Rule) 28(b). Broadly speaking, these rules are concerned with the mechanics of assessing requests for discovery in the United States to assist a proceeding in a foreign country and attempts by one or more parties before a U.S. court to obtain evidence located in another country. This article serves as a brief review of developments during the year.
Legal Design And The Evolution Of Commercial Norms, Jody S. Kraus
Legal Design And The Evolution Of Commercial Norms, Jody S. Kraus
Faculty Scholarship
The Uniform Commercial Code determines the content of most commercial law default rules by incorporating common merchant practices. The success of this incorporation strategy depends on the likely efficiency of evolved commercial practices. In this Article, I use the best available theory of cultural evolution to analyze how and why commercial practices evolve. This analysis confirms that the incorporation strategy is far superior to a system in which lawmakers rely predominantly on individual analysis and experimentation to design commercial law. But the analysis also demonstrates that common commercial practices, and the laws incorporating them, are unlikely to be optimal, in …
Basic Brownfields, Becky Jacobs
Basic Brownfields, Becky Jacobs
College of Law Faculty Scholarship
It seems as if everyone is talking about brownfields these days. You hear about brownfields on the news, and you can select from a variety of books and articles on the subject. Brownfields forums and seminars are being organized nationwide. Government agencies and officials at all levels consider brownfields a top priority. President Bill Clinton even remarked upon the issue in his 1997 State of the Union Address: "We should restore contaminated urban land and buildings to productive use." This article is a basic guide to the brownfields problem. It will define the problem and will attempt to identify the …
