A New Strategy For Human Rights Protection: Learning From Narcotics Trafficking In Mexico, Jeremiah E. Goulka Jan 2001

A New Strategy For Human Rights Protection: Learning From Narcotics Trafficking In Mexico, Jeremiah E. Goulka

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article explores the challenges in human rights protection by examining Mexico's struggle with narcotics trafficking. It highlights how corruption and ineffective law enforcement lead to both underpolicing and overpolicing, undermining the Rule of Law and human rights. The author advocates for a two-tiered strategy to develop the Rule of Law internationally and locally to address these issues effectively.


Supreme Law Or Basic Law? The Decline Of The Concept Of Constitutional Supremacy, Rett R. Ludwikowski Jan 2001

Supreme Law Or Basic Law? The Decline Of The Concept Of Constitutional Supremacy, Rett R. Ludwikowski

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article examines the decline of constitutional supremacy in the context of increasing international legal influences and the rise of supranational organizations. It argues that the traditional dualistic view of domestic and international law is no longer tenable, as national constitutions are no longer the sole supreme law. Instead, the legal landscape has become multifaceted, with overlapping national, supranational, and international legal structures. This shift is attributed to the erosion of state sovereignty and the integration of international law into domestic legal systems, even in countries like the United States.


The Roulette Of Suffering, Ed Morgan, Rachael Turkienicz Jan 2001

The Roulette Of Suffering, Ed Morgan, Rachael Turkienicz

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article explores the intersection of law, religion, and human suffering, drawing parallels between the unpredictability of legal outcomes in Holocaust-related litigation and the theological themes of the Book of Job. It argues that the legal system, like the biblical narrative, grapples with the challenge of assigning meaning to seemingly random events, particularly in cases involving state sovereignty and human rights. The analysis highlights the tension between the doctrine of state immunity and the pursuit of justice for victims of persecution, ultimately suggesting that legal outcomes often appear arbitrary, much like the suffering depicted in the Book of Job.


Extraterritorial Merger Regulation: Policies, Problems And A Proposal Explored Through The Planned Dow Chemical And Union Carbide Merger, Stacy L. Eberhart Jan 2001

Extraterritorial Merger Regulation: Policies, Problems And A Proposal Explored Through The Planned Dow Chemical And Union Carbide Merger, Stacy L. Eberhart

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note examines the inefficiencies of the current dual merger regulation system between the U.S. and EU, particularly in cases involving large corporations like Dow Chemical and Union Carbide. It argues that the similar approval processes of both jurisdictions lead to redundant filings and wasted resources. The note proposes a reformed system where mergers are primarily regulated by the jurisdiction where the companies are incorporated, with joint regulation only in specific circumstances, such as significant market impact or monopolies.


Cross-Border Insolvencies, Section 304 And Reforming Mexican Insolvency Law, Andrea B. Sluchan Jan 2001

Cross-Border Insolvencies, Section 304 And Reforming Mexican Insolvency Law, Andrea B. Sluchan

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note argues that Section 304 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code is a critical mechanism for addressing cross-border insolvencies, particularly between the U.S. and Mexico, despite its limitations. It highlights the need for a unified approach, such as the UNCITRAL Model Law, to handle the complexities of global trade and investment effectively.


The Doctrine Of Non-Inquiry And The Preservation Of Human Rights:-Is There Room For Reconciliation?, Michael S. Topiel Jan 2001

The Doctrine Of Non-Inquiry And The Preservation Of Human Rights:-Is There Room For Reconciliation?, Michael S. Topiel

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note explores the tension between individual human rights under international law and state interests in combating cross-border crime, focusing on the doctrine of noninquiry in extradition cases. It argues that while the Convention Against Torture imposes obligations to prevent extradition to situations of torture, the doctrine of noninquiry—where courts avoid scrutinizing the requesting state’s justice system—remains crucial for maintaining separation of powers and diplomatic relations. The analysis highlights the balancing act between protecting human rights and ensuring international cooperation in law enforcement.


An Exception Swallows A Rule: Police Authority To Search Incident To Arrest, Wayne A. Logan Jan 2001

An Exception Swallows A Rule: Police Authority To Search Incident To Arrest, Wayne A. Logan

Scholarly Publications

Compared to Fourth Amendment jurisprudence more generally, with its well-earned reputation for complexity and variability, the search incident to arrest exception to the Amendment's warrant requirement would appear an oasis of consistency. The exception affords police an unqualified right to search anyone they arrest, without first obtaining a search warrant from a neutral judicial official. This right extends to the bodies of all arrestees, their area of "immediate control," and, if driving a car, the interior of the car and any containers located therein


Public Trust And Distrust: The Theoretical Implications Of The Public Trust Doctrine For Natural Resource Management, Erin Ryan Jan 2001

Public Trust And Distrust: The Theoretical Implications Of The Public Trust Doctrine For Natural Resource Management, Erin Ryan

Scholarly Publications

This essay reviews the theoretical underpinnings of the public trust doctrine, received at common law and constitutionalized in many states, and explores its contentious reception by green legal theorists. Since Professor Joseph Sax's revival of the ancient common law doctrine as a vehicle for environmental advocacy in the early 1970s, it has been hailed by many environmentalists as the most powerful tool available for protecting natural resource commons. At the same time, however, it has been attacked by others who argue that use of the property rights-based doctrine reifies an ownership approach to natural resources and obstructs the development of …

[Introduction To] Uneven Ground: American Indian Sovereignty And Federal Law, David E. Wilkins, K. Tsianina Lomawaima Jan 2001

[Introduction To] Uneven Ground: American Indian Sovereignty And Federal Law, David E. Wilkins, K. Tsianina Lomawaima

Bookshelf

In the early 1970s, the federal government began recognizing self-determination for American Indian nations. As sovereign entities, Indian nations have been able to establish policies concerning health care, education, religious freedom, law enforcement, gaming, and taxation. Yet these gains have not gone unchallenged. Starting in the late 1980s, states have tried to regulate and profit from casino gambling on Indian lands. Treaty rights to hunt, fish, and gather remain hotly contested, and traditional religious practices have been denied protection. Tribal courts struggle with state and federal courts for jurisdiction. David E. Wilkins and K. Tsianina Lomawaima discuss how the political …


Just Being A Lawyer: Reflections On The Legal Ethics Of A President Under Impeachment, John A. Humbach Jan 2001

Just Being A Lawyer: Reflections On The Legal Ethics Of A President Under Impeachment, John A. Humbach

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

The core vice that Posner finds in Clinton’s efforts to contain the truth of the Lewinsky affair is very similar to a fault the public perceives in the behavior of lawyers generally. Namely, lawyers often try to obscure or distract from factual truth order to prevent the law from applying as intended. Most of this avoidance behavior is technically lawful because, for pragmatic reasons, allowances for such avoidance have been deliberately built into the criminal laws against perjury, obstruction of justice and the like. These allowances are a compromise that the law makes with morals so its criminal prohibitions will …


The Correction Of Wrongful Convictions: A Comparative Perspective, Lissa Griffin Jan 2001

The Correction Of Wrongful Convictions: A Comparative Perspective, Lissa Griffin

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

This Article analyzes the different modes in which two facially similar adversarial systems remedy wrongful convictions. Part I briefly examines the origins of wrongful convictions in both England and the United States. Part II describes the appellate processes in the two countries for correcting wrongful convictions. Part III addresses the processes for correcting wrongful convictions after the appellate processes have been completed. Part IV critiques the English process and examines whether aspects of that process may be carried over to the United States.


The Academic Support Student In The Year 2010, Leslie Yalof Garfield Jan 2001

The Academic Support Student In The Year 2010, Leslie Yalof Garfield

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

Academic support professionals have long recognized the benefits of imparting a greater knowledge of learning skills to law students as a way to enhance their ability to learn the law. Consequently, the science and pedagogy of academic support have become a staple of legal education. However, while the need for academic support remains a constant, the identification of those in need of academic support programs continues to be in flux. Growing social awareness of an expanded definition of diversity, recent decisions such as Hopwood v. Texas and the proliferation of academic support programs have expanded the definition of the academic …


Deja Vu All Over Again, Gary A. Munneke Jan 2001

Deja Vu All Over Again, Gary A. Munneke

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

Why talk about the future at all? As a professor I am a student of change. But do forecasts about the future matter to the average practitioner. My answer is a resounding YES! To understand my attitude, it's important to look at the work of the Futurist Committee of the ABA Law Practice Management Section.


The Technologies Of Property Rights: Choice Among Alternative Solutions To Tragedies Of The Commons, Bruce Yandle, Andrew P. Morriss Jan 2001

The Technologies Of Property Rights: Choice Among Alternative Solutions To Tragedies Of The Commons, Bruce Yandle, Andrew P. Morriss

Faculty Scholarship

Garrett Hardin's classic description of the tragedy of the commons tells us that all environmental problems require a property rights solution. The property solution or rule may call for the definition and enforcement of common, public, or private property rights, but any escape from the tragedy requires some rationing mechanism that allocates a form of property rights to some entity. These solutions fall into one of two broad traditions within economics: the Pigouvian, or regulatory tradition, and the Coasean, or market-based tradition. Any proposal for action in either tradition implies some definition of property rights. The difference lies in the …


Outing The Madman: Fair Housing For The Mentally Handicapped And Their Right To Privacy Versus The Landlord's Duty To Warn And Protect, Frederic White Jan 2001

Outing The Madman: Fair Housing For The Mentally Handicapped And Their Right To Privacy Versus The Landlord's Duty To Warn And Protect, Frederic White

Faculty Scholarship

Over the past fifty years, America has steadily deinstitutionalized its mentally handicapped population, often with mixed results. The primary goal of this process was to place these long-forgotten people back into the so-called mainstream of American life, allowing them access to the same kinds of advantages schools, jobs, housing-that most of us take for granted. This road has not always been easy. In particular, providing safe and accessible housing for the mentally handicapped is an important step toward establishing meaningful self-sufficiency for these individuals. However, to ensure that the needs of all tenants are fulfilled, several potential conflicts between the …
