Travaux Preparatoires Of The Fair Trial Provisions--Articles 8 To 11--Of The Universal Declaration Of Human Rights, David Weissbrodt, Mattias Hallendorff

Articles

On 10 December 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 1 In view of the fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration, this article reviews its origins. The article then focuses principally upon the drafting and meaning of the fair trial provisions of the Declaration. Rather than looking at the Declaration’s provisions article by article in numerical order, the article first considers the overall drafting history of the Declaration; second, it focuses on the principal fair trial provisions, Articles 10 and 11; and then deals with the drafting of Articles 8 and 9, which are complementary.


Spin-Offs, Fiduciary Duty, And The Law, Edward Adams, Arijit Mukherji Jan 1999

Spin-Offs, Fiduciary Duty, And The Law, Edward Adams, Arijit Mukherji

Articles

In recent years, merger and acquisition activity has captured the corporate headlines, reaffirming the popular view that bigger is better. Yet the benefits of such empire building are belied by evidence that corporate spin-offs generally add more value to a business or group of businesses. Indeed, the advantages of spin-offs have not been lost on some of the more astute corporate executives, and although mergers and acquisitions may make better copy, spin-offs have been quietly on the rise. Companies such as AT&T, General Motors, ITT, Sprint, Dun and Bradstreet, and Sears have successfully reaped the benefits of performing tax-free spin-offs …

Beyond The Formalism Debate: Expert Reasoning, Fuzzy Logic, And Complex Statutes, Edward Adams, Daniel Farber Jan 1999

Beyond The Formalism Debate: Expert Reasoning, Fuzzy Logic, And Complex Statutes, Edward Adams, Daniel Farber

Articles

Formalists and antiformalists continue to debate the utility of using legislative history and current social values to interpret statutes. Lost in the debate, however, is a clear model of how judges actually make decisions. Rather than focusing on complex problems presented by actual judicial decisions, formalists and antiformalists concentrate on stylized examples of simple statutes.In this Article, Professors Adams and Farber construct a more functional model of judicial decisionmaking by focusing on complex problems. They use cognitive psychological research on expert reasoning and techniques from an emerging area in the field of artificial intelligence, fuzzy logic, to construct their model. …
