Book Review: The Law And Regulation Of International Finance, Ian F.G. Baxter

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The Law of International Finance, as its opening states, revolves around "the law and regulation affecting the raising of finance in the international financial markets." Thus, the book is about a very specialized area of finance and law-an area that has come into prominence, or even existence, only during the last two decades. As a solicitor in a large London firm that does substantial work related to financial business in the London international capital markets, Ravi Tennekoon has had considerable practical experience in legal work related to Eurobond issues and transactions and international syndications. London is, of course, the main …

The Foreign Commerce Clause And The Market Participant Exemption, David E. Dreifke

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

In this Note, the author argues that, despite the strictures of the Foreign Commerce Clause, under an expansive conception of the market participant exemption, states should be able to place restrictions on the export of state-owned or state-nurtured natural resources. In light of the current trade imbalance between Japan and the United States and by way of example, the author discusses Japan's importation of United States natural resources and the competing interests that argue for and against its continuance. Japan's economic growth, appetite for natural resources, and lack of adequate regard for environmental consequences is well documented. Economists and political …

International Monetary Law: The Next Twenty-Five Years, Richard W. Edwards, Jr.

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

In this Article, Professor Edwards considers possible developments in international monetary law over the next twenty-five years. The author begins by discussing some formative events for international monetary law throughout the last twenty-five years, and he notes that unforeseen political developments can have a dramatic effect on monetary policy, and, therefore; make predicting future policy risky. The author does suggest, however, some policy changes that respond to current issues such as the trend toward currency consolidation, the need to improve public confidence in monetary processes, the need to stabilize the currencies of the states of the former Soviet Union, and …

The Ec Directive On The Legal Protection Of Computer Programs, Linda G. Morrison

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The evolution of computer technology has launched questions regarding the proper scope of protection for computer software. The European Community (EC) recently adopted a Council Directive on the Legal Protection of Computer Programs (the Directive), which protects computer software under the copyright paradigm. The path to final adoption of the Directive, however, was marked by debates between diametrically opposed lobbying groups regarding the propriety of a reverse engineering exception to the exclusive right of reproduction. This Note discusses the lobbying efforts that led to a compromise and analyzes the Directive through a comparison to United States law. Next, the Note …

Foreword: Some Implications Of The Term "Transnational", Harold G. Maier

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

I think it is safe to say that no other body of law has changed as much during the Twentieth Century as has the law applicable to international matters. When the late Judge Phillip C. Jessup coined the term "transnational law,"' he did so with the recognition that human affairs could not properly be confined by the artificial territorial boundaries of nation-states. When the Vanderbilt International, the original incarnation of the Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law, sought a new name to mark its transition from duplicated to printed format, it selected Jessup's characterization to emphasize global interdependence, rather than the …

The Eagle Or The Ostrich: A United States Perspective On The Future Of Transnational Banking, Marilyn B. Cane

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

In this Article, Professor Cane discusses the problems of United States banking regulations in the new global financial system. These problems include antiquated legislation, the deposit insurance system, the dual federal-state banking system, and restrictive branching laws. Part II discusses the current deposit insurance system and options for reform. Part III poses the question of whether the United States should have "national" treatment or "reciprocal national" treatment for financial institutions. Part IV discusses the limitations the United States has put on its financial institutions and the disadvantage these limitations have caused globally. Finally, in Part V, Professor Cane discusses a …

International Space Law: Into The Twenty-First Century, Glenn H. Reynolds

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

In this Article, Professor Reynolds addresses the space law issues likely to be of most importance in the next several decades. Pressing issues include those of orbital debris and geostationary orbit crowding, private property rights in outer space resources, conflict over international trade in space goods and services, the danger of ballistic-missile technology proliferation, private remote-sensing systems, and the law of international cooperation in space. Professor Reynolds concludes with a philosophical and practical discussion of some more remote issues, including the legal systems that may govern future human societies in outer space and the legal issues that might be associated …

In Re Custody Of Dfs, A Minor Child 92-Ap-4 (Blkft. Tr. Ct. App., April 29, 1992), Blackfeet Appellate Court

Court Decisions

• In the Blackfeet tribal Court of Appeals, the Court considered whether the best interests of a child surpass the interests of other interested parties.

• The Court affirmed a lower court decision awarding custody of DFS to the child's natural parents over the child’s grandparents. In the view of the Court, the interests of the minor child are paramount to the interests of all other interested parties. The Court will not disturb the findings of a lower court to the best interests of the child absent evidence that the lower court failed to adequately consider contrary evidence. It is the duty …

In Re Vielle Children, 92-Ap-05 (Blkft. Tr. Ct. App., April 27, 1992), Blackfeet Appellate Court

Court Decisions

In the Blackfeet Tribal Court of Appeals, the Court vacated a prior temporary custody order which granted custody to the natural mother, and restored custody to the natural father. The Court reasoned that the previous temporary Custody Order was issued ex parte, directly to the judge without the other party’s knowledge, a practice that has been long prohibited. The lower court judge was removed from that case and deprived of all authority over this matter. This order violated due process rights of the father and the Blackfeet Law and Order Code.

In Re Am, A Minor Child, 92-Ap-03 (Blkft. Tr. Ct. App., April 15, 1992), Blackfeet Appellate Court

Court Decisions

In the Blackfeet Tribal Court of Appeals, the Court reversed a lower court order determining a dispute over an emergency custody order. Teh Court made the determination to reverse the lower court determination partly based on the lack of sufficient evidence to warrant emergency removal of the child. Ch. 7, Se. 4, of the Blackfeet Law and order Code requires a show cause hearing where evidence is presented to substantiate immediate and//or apparent danger of violence or serious bodily injury to the child. Additionally, a child is entitled to representation through guardian-ad-litem. The Court clarified that a Juvenile Officer is …
