Disappearances In Honduras: The Need For Direct Victim Representation In Human Rights Litigation, Claudio Grossman

UC Law SF International Law Review

In two landmark decisions, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights recently found that the Government of Honduras was responsible for the politically-motivated kidnappings and murders of two Honduran nationals. This Article examines these decisions and evaluates the advisory role given the victims' lawyers in the proceedings. The author argues that such indirect participation by the victims and their families is unsatisfactory. The Article concludes that the international system for investigating and punishing human rights abuses would benefit from direct representation of the victims.

Dual Nationality In France And The United States, Simone Tan

UC Law SF International Law Review

As society becomes increasingly global, more and more Americans are living abroad. As a result, dual nationality is increasingly common. This Note argues that the United States should adopt legislation making it easier for Americans living abroad to pass their citizenship on to their children. The author uses France's experience with its dual nationals as an example for the United States of how this situation can be handled effectively. The Note argues that by drawing on the principles of the French solution, the United States could keep the goodwill and tax dollars of its citizens living abroad.

Trade, Environment, And Sustainable Development: A Primer, Robert Housman, Durwood Zaelke

UC Law SF International Law Review

Free trade policy and environmental policy are often at odds. Experts on both sides, however, are beginning to realize that sustainable development is the best hope for long-term international economic prosperity. Given the environmental crisis the world is facing, both sides must work to reconcile the legal relationship between trade agreements and environmental agreements if sustainable development is to be achieved and maintained. Accordingly, this Article surveys trade agreements, including the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, and environmental agreements for possible conflicts. The Article concludes with a brief discussion of options for reducing or eliminating such conflicts.

Accommodation And Satisfaction: Women And Men Lawyers And The Balance Of Work And Family, David L. Chambers

Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)

This article by Professor Chambers began with data from the periodic surveys of Law School alumni he has conducted. It is adapted from an article Professor Chambers published in the journal Law and Social Inquiry.

Women first entered the legal profession in large numbers in the 1970s. The same movement that brought them into the profession also sought to deliver messages to men that they ought to participate more in the raising of children. How, over the years that have followed, have men and women lawyers responded to the multiple roles of home and work? How satisfied are they with …

Software Taxation In Ohio, Robert W. Mcgee

Akron Tax Journal

For more than a decade after the first software tax case was decided, computer software was uniformly classified as intangible for the purpose of sales, use, and personal property taxes, and therefore exempt from taxation. Then, in 1983, the decisions began to go in the other direction, classifying software as tangible and therefore subject to taxation. Ohio courts have played an early and continuing role in the debate over software taxation. This article provides a brief overview of software taxation in general, summarizes the role Ohio courts have played, and compares and contrasts the Ohio position on software taxation with …
