Comparing the law and policies of other countries concerning disability rights to ours can help us understand how we may strengthen those rights and heighten compliance with nondiscrimination laws. Since it took effect in 1992, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has been a leading example of such comprehensive legislation on behalf of people with disabilities. Along with the United Nations Standard Rules on Equalization of Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities, the ADA has inspired many countries to develop their own disability nondiscrimination laws and remedial agencies. This process must work in both directions, however, and laws and agencies from …

Corporate Distributions To Shareholders In Delaware And In Israel, Anat Urman
LLM Theses and Essays
This thesis considers the corporate legal systems of Israel and Delaware as they address the subject of corporate distributions to shareholders.

A "Jewish State ... To Be Known As The State Of Israel": Notes On Israeli Legal Historiography, Pnina Lahav
Faculty Scholarship
Israeli legal history is a discipline much younger than the history of its fifty-three-year-old state.

Asher Maoz and Leora Bilsky are only two of a growing number who find legal history an intellectually stimulating enterprise. The …

An Oasis Or Just A Mirage: The Jericho Casino And The Future Of The Israeli-Palestinian Peace Process, Edward B. Miller
Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business
More than seven years have passed since the signing of the historic peace agreement between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (“P.L.O.”).
