Speaking Of Rights, Janet Ainsworth

Faculty Articles

Professor Janet Ainsworth reviews Rights Talk: The Impoverishment of Political Discourse, by Mary Ann Glendon.

Professor Ainsworth explores the specifics of rights discourse that Glendon describes, and provides a thorough critique of Rights Talk.

Faculty Articles

A Modern Proposal, Sidney Delong Jan 1992

A Modern Proposal, Sidney Delong

Faculty Articles

This article humorously explains Jonathan Swift’s intention when he wrote “A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of Ireland from Being a Burden to Their Parents or Country.” Swift was not writing satirically, his analysis was purely written from an economic standpoint as was Landes and Posner’s modern proposal. Landes and Posner recognized the allocative efficiencies and wealth gains that can be realized when property rights are created in noncommodities, such as people, as did Jonathan Swift.


Interpreting Sacred Texts: Preliminary Reflections On Constitutional Discourse In China, Janet Ainsworth Jan 1992

Interpreting Sacred Texts: Preliminary Reflections On Constitutional Discourse In China, Janet Ainsworth

Faculty Articles

The 1982 Constitution of the People's Republic of China provides the foundation for a nation governed by the rule of law rather than by Party fiat. It remains unclear whether and to what extent this ambitious Constitution will be implemented in practice. In her article, Professor Ainsworth asserts that the way in which Western scholars to date analyzed Chinese constitutions demonstrates the ethnocentric assumptions inherent in Western scholarship. Professor Ainsworth suggests that Chinese constitutional discourse needs to be understood in a Chinese context, requiring a historical study of the traditional Chinese exegetical methodology used in interpreting the Confucian Classics. This …


Opting In And Out Of Fiduciary Duties In Cooperative Ventures: Refining The So-Called Coasean Contract Theory, Charles O'Kelley Jan 1992

Opting In And Out Of Fiduciary Duties In Cooperative Ventures: Refining The So-Called Coasean Contract Theory, Charles O'Kelley

Faculty Articles

Professor O’Kelley comments on a familiar problem in the law of closely held business associations - the alleged exploitation of weaker or minority investors by stronger or majority participants. The fact pattern is simple. At the outset of the cooperative venture, a stronger participant assumes the role of proprietor, partner, or majority shareholder, while the weaker participant assumes the role of agent, partner, or minority shareholder. For whatever reason, the venturers do not explicitly guarantee or protect the weaker participant’s right to income or continued participation in the venture. Consequently, at some later date the stronger participant reduces or eliminates …


Introduction: Mexican Perspectives On Economic, Political And Cultural Implications Of Free Trade, Henry Mcgee Jan 1992

Introduction: Mexican Perspectives On Economic, Political And Cultural Implications Of Free Trade, Henry Mcgee

Faculty Articles

Professor McGee introduces two papers submitted to the 1990 UCLA School of Law seminar entitled Law and Development in Latin America. The first paper, written before the onset of negotiations for a free trade treaty between Mexico and the United States, deals with the then new regulations of the Mexican Secretary of the Treasurer (Secretaria de la Hacienda) designed to sweep away a labyrinth of rules and procedures which had traditionally vexed foreign investors who dealt with the Mexican bureaucracy. The second paper concerns the irony which inheres in Mexico's treatment of Central American immigration, a problem relatively undiscussed in …


Filling Gaps In The Close Corporation Contract: A Transaction Cost Analysis, Charles O'Kelley Jan 1992

Filling Gaps In The Close Corporation Contract: A Transaction Cost Analysis, Charles O'Kelley

Faculty Articles

This article develops a more refined transaction-cost based theory which explains: why rational investors in jointly owned, closely held firms initially choose corporate form; why they leave the contractual gaps that they do; and how efficiency-minded judges should respond to postharmony disputes made possible by the form chosen and the gaps left. Professor O’Kelley’s theory takes into account not only the possibility that investors should have chosen partnership law, but also the advantages and disadvantages of organizing production as an implicit team, via long-term contracts between separate businesses or as a sole proprietorship. In explicating this theory of form choice, …


What Went Wrong With The Warren Court's Conception Of The Fourth Amendment?, John B. Mitchell Jan 1992

What Went Wrong With The Warren Court's Conception Of The Fourth Amendment?, John B. Mitchell

Faculty Articles

This article discusses the current status of police in the United States--police can undertake any and all actions unrestrained by any law but their own. The post-Warren Supreme Courts have held that none of these police activities are "searches" and/or "seizures," and in these courts' Fourth Amendment jurisprudence, that means that these activities are not circumscribed by the Fourth Amendment at all. Thus, in terms of the Constitution, the police are without any judicial supervision and subject to no standards but their own whim. The article explores the reasons for this, and faults the Warren Court for its mishandling of …


Introduction: Multidimensional Lawyering And Professional Responsibility, Margaret Chon Jan 1992

Faculty Articles

Each article contributes to the formation of the self qua lawyer by showing how attorneys can and do respond to foils other than clients.


Emerging Conflicts Over Intellectual Property In Recent Gatt Negotiations, Sonia Baldia Jan 1992

Emerging Conflicts Over Intellectual Property In Recent Gatt Negotiations, Sonia Baldia

LLM Theses and Essays

This thesis describes the "intellectual property problem" and how it came to be a focus of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. It addresses the concerns of the developed and the developing world regarding a reform in their intellectual protection regimes. One of the results of this thesis is that reforms that do not stem from developing countries' perceptions of their own interests and needs, and that are not articulated in keeping with broader economic and technological policies, are unlikely to result in stable and predictable rules or to be properly enforced.


The Deregulated Airline Industry: Legal Challenges For The Nineties, Vijayesh D. Roy Jan 1992

The Deregulated Airline Industry: Legal Challenges For The Nineties, Vijayesh D. Roy

LLM Theses and Essays

The United States is one of the few nations where private airline ownership and more than one carrier are permitted, but traditionally the airline industry was heavily regulated by the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) with direct regulation of routes, rates, entry, and exit. However with the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 and the International Air Transportation Competition Act of 1979, Congress removed many restrictions on the airline industry and allowed airlines to make their own economic decisions and operate as traditional commercial enterprises. Although deregulation has produced many benefits like improved efficiency, reduced costs, and a wider range of services, …


Policy And Legal Aspects Of Technology Transfer From The United States To China, Yongman Zhang Jan 1992

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 …


Reinsurance: Bad Faith Considerations And Insolvency Dilemma, Hui-Ju Hsieh Jan 1992

Reinsurance: Bad Faith Considerations And Insolvency Dilemma, Hui-Ju Hsieh

LLM Theses and Essays

Reinsurance is insurance that an insurance company purchases from another insurance company. The original insurance company is called the reinsured, and the insurance company that is contracted is called the reinsurer. The main purpose of reinsurance is to disperse or spread the risk of loss. The reinsurance relationship is frequently characterized as an exercise of fiduciary responsibility based upon an undertaking of utmost good faith between contracting parties. However, disputes arise; most litigation involving reinsurance has been between reinsurers and persons not party to the reinsurance agreement. This paper’s first major area of discussion is the relationship between the reinsurer …


Negotiation Of International Agreements: Legal And Practical Problems In The Third World Countries, Kuwayaway Stephen Kuwayaway Jan 1992

Negotiation Of International Agreements: Legal And Practical Problems In The Third World Countries, Kuwayaway Stephen Kuwayaway

LLM Theses and Essays

The purpose of this study was to investigate problems in negotiation of international agreements in Third World countries, to shed light on the salient features in negotiation agreements between developed and developing countries, and to propose measures to assess the situation. This study provides detailed description and techniques used in negotiating these agreements in international negotiations. The study reveals that when negotiating within unequal bargaining power, the weak party stands to lose because it enters the agreement without free will; consequently, the agreement becomes unenforceable. Three factors have been identified as being obstacles to freedom of contract, ie. The unequal …


Privatization: A Way To Rethinking The Role Of Government, Abdelsamie E. Elfadil Jan 1992

Privatization: A Way To Rethinking The Role Of Government, Abdelsamie E. Elfadil

LLM Theses and Essays

This LL.M. thesis provides a comprehensive analysis of privatization as an economincally-sound strategy for the provision of public goods and services. The work begins by providing a robust backdrop of the privatization phenomenon by tracing its theoretical foundations, competing defintions, and analyzing the principal techniques of implementation—including divestiture through public share offerings and private sales, load shedding, vouchers, freemarket, user fees, franchise agremeents, and contracting out. The thesis then examines privatization as a means of reducing government size, the potential for franchise agreements to serve as an alternate appoach to public service delivery, and, finally, the critical legal issues arising …
