The Foreign Notarial Legal Services Monopoly: Why Should We Care?, Pedro A. Malavet Dec 1997

The Foreign Notarial Legal Services Monopoly: Why Should We Care?, Pedro A. Malavet

Pedro A. Malavet

This piece serves three purposes: (1) briefly to take issue with the current treatment of comparative scholarship, especially how it is ignored by main law reviews; (2) to be a succinct introduction to the Latin Notary; and (3) to point out that the adversarial ethic and notarial impartiality can co-exist and even complement one another. It presents the notary as an example of a non-adversarial ethic, in a system that has other professionals who are ruled by the adversarial ethic. It does not advocate the abandonment of the adversarial ethic, but, rather, argues that in certain legal situations a non-adversarial …

Dalla Simbologia Giuridica A Una Filosofia Giuridica E Politica Simbolica ? Ovvero Il Diritto E I Sensi, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha Dec 1997

Dalla Simbologia Giuridica A Una Filosofia Giuridica E Politica Simbolica ? Ovvero Il Diritto E I Sensi, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha

Paulo Ferreira da Cunha

La prima conseguenza della nostra cultura giuridica dell'audizione che è anche cultura dell'oralità, del discorso e della scrittura (di tutto ciò che serve per parlare e fissare quello che può essere detto) è la volontaria atrofia degli altri sensi: il tatto, il gusto, l'olfatto e la vista. Il Diritto quasi non tocca le cose. Le concepisce mentalmente, le dice, però, anche se con i guanti deve toccare il corpo del delitto.


Inexistencia Y Nulidad Desde El Punto De Vista De Los Derechos Italiano, Español Y Peruano, Rómulo Morales Dec 1997

Inexistencia Y Nulidad Desde El Punto De Vista De Los Derechos Italiano, Español Y Peruano, Rómulo Morales

Rómulo Martín Morales Hervias

El tema de análisis comparativo es la inexistencia y la nulidad del negocio jurídico. En Italia se propuso tal distinción para solucionar problemas en el tráfico jurídico. En España, la discusión tiene trascendencia restringida. Y en el Perú, la discusión quedó aparentemente terminada con la idea de la admisión legislativa de la nulidad virtual.

À Propos D’Instruments Protecteurs De La Liberté De Contracter Valablement Dans La Jurisprudence Italienne, Mauro Bussani

Mauro Bussani

The paper analyzes Italian contract law with regard to the remedies available to the party who enters into an invalid agreement. The article focuses on how Italian courts have so far interpreted the rules laid down in the civil code, the doctrines developed by scholars alongside these rules, and the actual meaning of the notion of fault when applied to these cases.


Constitutional Structure As A Limitation On The Scope Of The "Law Of Nations" In The Alien Tort Claims Act, Donald J. Kochan Dec 1997

Constitutional Structure As A Limitation On The Scope Of The "Law Of Nations" In The Alien Tort Claims Act, Donald J. Kochan

Donald J. Kochan

Jurisdiction matters. Outside of the set of jurisdictional constraints, the judiciary is at sea; it poses a threat to the separation of powers and risks becoming a dangerous and domineering branch. Jurisdictional limitations serve a particularly important function when the judiciary is dealing with issues of international law. Since much of international law concerns foreign relations, the province of the executive and, in part, the legislature, the danger that the judiciary will act in a policy-making role or will frustrate the functions of the political branches is especially great. The Framers of the Constitution were particularly concerned with constructing a …
