Richmond Journal of Law & Technology
Imagine the following: It's New Year's Eve, 1994, and as twilight falls you start to clean off your desk and get ready to go home. On top of your "Out" tray is a copy of a patent application for American Corporation that you filed with the Patent and Trademark Office last week. A-Corp., one of your largest clients, is the nation's largest manufacturer of business office furniture.

Law And Labor In The New Global Economy: Through The Lens Of United States Federalism, Mark Barenberg
Faculty Scholarship
The heightened economic globalization of the last quarter century presents a welter of new questions for legal scholars, policymakers, and practitioners.

Issues of labor and employment law are at the center of both of these epochal transformations – globalization and …

LLM Theses and Essays
Today’s driving forces in world trade are private trade, investment flows, technological progress, and job creation.

It is one of the WTO's so-called Plurilateral Agreements, in that its disciplines apply only to those WTO Members that have signed it. In contrast to most of the other Tokyo Round codes – e.g., the agreements on technical barriers to trade (standards), import licensing, customs valuation, subsidies, and antidumping – the GPA could not be 'multilateralized'. With the reintroduction of agriculture and textiles and clothing into the GATT, procurement has therefore become the major 'hole' …
