Speech: The Bill Of Rights, Garrett Epps Jul 2003

Speech: The Bill Of Rights, Garrett Epps

All Faculty Scholarship

The Bill of Rights is a much more fortuitous addition to the Constitution than many people imagine. The tired delegates at Philadelphia were unable to make the final effort to frame a bill of rights, and their failure nearly caused the collapse of ratification. When the First Congress met, James Madison took responsibility for making the new government live up to the implied pledge made during ratification to provide a partial list, drawn from the historic rights on English subjects. Not all Madison's proposed amendments were adopted however. The work of adumbrating the full scope of liberty under the Constitution …

Introduction, Peter K. Yu Jul 2003

Introduction, Peter K. Yu

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The introduction explores the challenges of protecting traditional knowledge, folklore, and indigenous practices within the global intellectual property framework. It argues that the success of such protection depends on selecting the appropriate international forum for negotiations, fostering a nonzero-sum mindset among negotiators, addressing cognitive barriers, and ensuring the active participation of indigenous communities. The introduction emphasizes the need for a balanced approach that considers the diverse interests of various stakeholders, including developed and developing countries, indigenous peoples, and international organizations.

Defining Traditional Knowledge - Lessons From Cultural Property, Sarah Harding Jul 2003

Defining Traditional Knowledge - Lessons From Cultural Property, Sarah Harding

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article critiques the assumptions embedded in the terms "traditional" and "cultural" when applied to the property and knowledge of indigenous peoples, particularly Native Americans. It argues that these terms often reflect Western notions of authenticity, collectivity, and inalienability, which may not fully align with the lived experiences and evolving cultural practices of indigenous communities. The analysis emphasizes the need for flexibility in defining cultural property and traditional knowledge, as these concepts are shaped by historical colonization, sovereignty struggles, and contemporary political dynamics.


Legal Protection Of Indigenous Culture In Australia, Ronald Sackville Jul 2003

Legal Protection Of Indigenous Culture In Australia, Ronald Sackville

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article examines the legal protection of Indigenous culture in Australia, highlighting both progress and persistent challenges. While significant strides have been made, such as constitutional amendments and the recognition of native title, the legal system still struggles to adequately protect Indigenous cultural rights, particularly in reconciling them with existing intellectual property and heritage protection frameworks.

Global Trends In Mediation, Nadja Alexander Jul 2003

Global Trends In Mediation, Nadja Alexander

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

Mediation is a process both new, in terms of its emergence in the legal arena, and old in terms of its timeless universality. From its birth in the western world, mediation has travelled a winding and often challenging path through common law and then civil law jurisdictions. Suggestions that mediation would be nothing more than a short-lived fad have been short-lived themselves. At the same time many critical questions about mediation process, mediation structures and environment, and mediation outcomes have yet to be explored from a global and comparative perspective.


What Would You Do - With A Taniwha At The Table?, Ian Macduff Jul 2003

What Would You Do - With A Taniwha At The Table?, Ian Macduff

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

In New Zealand, a complicating factor in some disputes may involve the presence (whether one believes it or not) of a taniwha, or spirit, as a major part of the negotiations. What advice would you have for mediators who face such significant cross-cultural, identity-based issues? The author hopes readers of this journal will be able to provide some insighful advice.

Once A Director, Always A Fiduciary?, Pearlie Koh Jul 2003

Once A Director, Always A Fiduciary?, Pearlie Koh

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

The corporate director is subject to duties of good faith and loyalty. As he stands in a fiduciary position vis-a-vis the company on whose board he sits, he is subject to strict obligations of self-denial. Indeed, ensuring adherence to an absolute rule in this regard is justified by the need to control, albeit in a necessarily imperfect and arguably ineffective manner, the exercise of discretion by the director who stands in an undoubted position of power with respect to the company. A director therefore is obliged to avoid a conflict of interests and is prohibited from profiting from his office. …

Trademarks Under The North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta) With References To The New Trademark Law Of Spain, Effective July 31, 2002, And The Current Mexican Law, Roberto Rosas

Faculty Articles

A trademark is any distinctive sign indicating that certain products or services have been manufactured or rendered by a specific person or company. This concept is currently recognized worldwide; however, the origin of trademarks dates back to antiquity when artisans placed their signatures or “marks” on their products containing an artistic or utilitarian element. Through time, these marks have evolved to such an extent that today, a reliable and efficient system for their registration and protection has been established. Besides protecting owners of trademarks, this system also helps consumers identify and purchase goods or services, which, because of the essence …


Traditional Knowledge, Intellectual Property, And Indigenous Culture: An Introduction, Peter K. Yu Jul 2003

Traditional Knowledge, Intellectual Property, And Indigenous Culture: An Introduction, Peter K. Yu

Faculty Scholarship

Human communities have always generated, refined and passed on knowledge from generation to generation. Such "traditional" knowledge" [sic] is often an important part of their cultural identities. Traditional knowledge has played, and still plays, a vital role in the daily lives of the vast majority of people. Traditional knowledge is essential to the food security and health of millions of people in the developing world. In many countries, traditional medicines provide the only affordable treatment available to poor people. In developing countries, up to 80% of the population depend on traditional medicines to help meet their healthcare needs. In addition, …
