Reflections On Domestic Work And The Feminization Of Migration, Glenda Labadie-Jackson

Campbell Law Review

This Article brings forth some general reflections on domestic work and the feminization of migration, with particular emphasis on the complex interrelation of immigration status, gender, class, and race that takes place in this context. In light of these reflections, the Article concludes by recommending the promulgation of additional national and international regulatory schemes designed to protect the human rights of domestic workers.

Goblets Of Fire: Potential Constitutional Impediments To The Regulation Of Global Warming, Steven Ferrey Sep 2008

Goblets Of Fire: Potential Constitutional Impediments To The Regulation Of Global Warming, Steven Ferrey

Suffolk University Law School Faculty Works

Almost half the U.S. states have begun to regulate the emission of greenhouse gases and global warming, given that the federal government has not acted. However, these leading states are implementing carbon regulatory measures that, if challenged, may be found to violate the Supremacy Clause and/or Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution. If so, these state initiatives, as the lead edge of U.S. policy on global warming, will require time-consuming legal revisions that could affect fundamental allowance allocation in lieu of auction, use of government garnered revenues from state carbon restrictions, and the degree to which states can change wholesale …

Optimal Remedies For Patent Infringement: A Transactional Model, Paul J. Heald Sep 2008

Optimal Remedies For Patent Infringement: A Transactional Model, Paul J. Heald

Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series

In a world of zero transaction costs, one should observe optimal invention and innovation. As long as a system of enforceable contracts were in place, firms with inventive capacity and firms requiring inventions would negotiate for the optimal production of new creations. With adequate information, an observer could accurately predict which transactions would occur between firms and which transactions would not, thereby permitting description of the conditions for optimal inventiveness. Patent remedies in a world with transactions costs can be calibrated so that real firms behave as ideal firms, providing incentives for real world transactions to mimic those in a …


Privatizing Trademarks, Irina Manta Sep 2008

Privatizing Trademarks, Irina Manta

Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series

While trademarks are designed to promote a competitive and productive marketplace, the current system of trademark registration is run by the Patent & Trademark Office as a monopoly of questionable productivity. The average time that it takes for the Patent & Trademark Office to process a trademark application is fifteen months, and even registrations that do not encounter legal issues can require a year. As a result, trademark applicants risk investing substantial sums of money into a mark to discover much later that the Patent & Trademark Office will not register it. This Article considers a possible solution - a …


Abolition In The U.S.A. By 2050: On Political Capital And Ordinary Acts Of Resistance, Bernard E. Harcourt Sep 2008

Abolition In The U.S.A. By 2050: On Political Capital And Ordinary Acts Of Resistance, Bernard E. Harcourt

Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series

The United States, like the larger international community, likely will tend toward greater abolition of the death penalty during the first half of the twenty-first century. A handful of individual states—states that have historically carried out few or no executions—probably will abolish capital punishment over the next twenty years, which will create political momentum and ultimately a federal constitutional ban on capital punishment in the United States. It is entirely reasonable to expect that, by the mid-twenty-first century, capital punishment will have the same status internationally as torture: an outlier practice, prohibited by international agreements and customary international law, practiced …


Beyond Judicial Minimalism, Cass R. Sunstein Sep 2008

Beyond Judicial Minimalism, Cass R. Sunstein

Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series

Many judges are minimalists. They favor rulings that are narrow, in the sense that they govern only the circumstances of the particular case, and also shallow, in the sense that they do not accept a deep theory of the legal provision at issue. In law, narrow and shallow decisions have real advantages insofar as they reduce both decision costs and error costs; make space for democratic engagement on fundamental questions; and reflect a norm of civic respect. In many cases, however, minimalism is hard to justify in these ways. Sometimes small steps increase the aggregate costs of decisions; sometimes they …
