As A Negative Right, Article 25 Can Have A Positive Effect Combating Japan's Poverty, Amelia S. Kegan Jun 2008

As A Negative Right, Article 25 Can Have A Positive Effect Combating Japan's Poverty, Amelia S. Kegan

Washington International Law Journal

Article 25 of the Showa Constitution guarantees everyone in Japan a minimum standard of “wholesome and cultured living.” Contrary to the force originally envisioned by the Constitution’s framers, the Supreme Court of Japan has interpreted the provision as merely a programmatic declaration that guides the legislature rather than as an enforceable right under which an individual may sue. As a result, individuals cannot seek relief from the judiciary for Article 25 violations. The Supreme Court should recognize Article 25 also as a negative, concrete right, allowing individuals to seek judicial relief when the government fails to appropriately apply laws intended …


Post-Conflict Administrations As Democracy-Building Instruments, Jean D'Aspremont Jun 2008

Post-Conflict Administrations As Democracy-Building Instruments, Jean D'Aspremont

Chicago Journal of International Law

The period that stretches from the end of the Cold War until today has weathered the emergence of a large number of new states. With each addition, the international community has striven to regulate statehood and rein in its most erratic and unpredictable manifestations. In particular, the international community has tried to affect what kind of political regimes are set up in these new states. The multi-dimensional administration established by States or International Organizations to (re)build governmental institutions in territories where the governments have floundered completely have constituted an useful instrument to reach that goal. This strategy, while costly, has …


Access To Justice For The Poor: The Singapore Judiciary At Work, Gary Chan Kok Yew Jun 2008

Access To Justice For The Poor: The Singapore Judiciary At Work, Gary Chan Kok Yew

Washington International Law Journal

This Article examines the concrete efforts and programs of the Singapore judiciary to maintain and enhance access to justice for the poor. This examination is undertaken via overlapping economic, procedural, and institutional approaches. The Article will examine three main contentions. First, that the Singapore judiciary’s concrete efforts in maintaining and promoting access to justice for the poor have been fairly comprehensive and pro-active. Second, that abstract constitutional discourse on the right of access to justice and the associated rights of legal representation and legal aid are virtually absent in Singapore. Thus, the judicial practice for enhancing access to justice for …

Mediation And The Art Of Regulation, Nadja Alexander Jun 2008

Mediation And The Art Of Regulation, Nadja Alexander

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

In a political climate filled with talk of how to best regulate mediation, it is surprising that so little regulatory theory has been brought into the discussion. The aim of this paper is to provide a conceptual framework for informed debate in relation to the regulation of mediation. The framework comprises two parts. First, four international regulatory trends in mediation are introduced: the market-contract, self-regulatory, formal framework and formal legislative approaches. Against this background the second part deals with the specific content of regulatory provisions on mediation. The resulting framework is called the Mediation Mix, which brings form and content …

This paper is not a detailed denial of the difference between organised crime as the aggregation of illicit wealth, and terrorism which may not be concerned with economic profit. It takes as given the primary political context for terrorism and the enterprise environment of organised crime.

The Uneasy Case For Transjurisdictional Adjudication, Jonathan Remy Nash Jun 2008

The Uneasy Case For Transjurisdictional Adjudication, Jonathan Remy Nash

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

Federal courts often decide cases that include matters of state law, while state courts often decide cases that raise matters of federal law. Most of these cases are decided within the court system in which they originate. Recent commentary advocates more transjurisdictional adjudication through the expanded use of existing procedural devices, and development of new devices. Some commentators endorse greater use of certification by federal courts, while others advocate greater use of transjurisdictional procedural devices to increase the availability of a federal forum to resolve federal legal issues. In this Article, I call for refinement of this approach and argue …

When water decisions are made, water lawyers are central fi gures, and decisions are made within the framework of the governing institutions. In this essay, I discuss legal education and the training of a water lawyer. Students from other disciplines may seek out legal education, so approaches to their education are considered.

Mistake And Disclosure In A Model Of Two-Sided Informational Inputs, Michael J. Borden Jun 2008

Mistake And Disclosure In A Model Of Two-Sided Informational Inputs, Michael J. Borden

Missouri Law Review

This paper will examine some theoretical aspects of contractual non-disclosure and the related doctrine of unilateral mistake. These two legal rubrics are conceptually similar; each is concerned with the degree to which parties must communicate their understandings about the nature of the contract into which they are about to enter. If one party fails to reveal enough information, the other party may enter into the agreement under a misunderstanding and consequently may attempt to avoid contractual liability on the basis of mistake or on a theory of nondisclosure. The law of contracts clearly attaches a great deal of importance to …


Copycats, Relax - The Federal Circuit Lightens Up On Willful Patent Infringement, Sarah J. Garber Jun 2008

Copycats, Relax - The Federal Circuit Lightens Up On Willful Patent Infringement, Sarah J. Garber

Missouri Law Review

"Willful" infringement is alleged in over 90% of patent cases. This is primarily because, under the Patent Act and Federal Circuit case law, a finding of willful infringement gives trial judges the discretion to award treble damages and attorney's fees to the patentee. Given that patent infringement actions can carry litigation fees of two million dollars or more, an award of punitive damages is a serious threat to accused infringers. A common and powerful defense to a willful infringement allegation is reasonable reliance on an opinion of counsel. Using this defense, the accused infringer can prove he acted in good …


Conforming Doctrine To Practice: Making For Collateral Consequences In The Missouri Mootness Analysis, Zachary C. Howenstine Jun 2008

Conforming Doctrine To Practice: Making For Collateral Consequences In The Missouri Mootness Analysis, Zachary C. Howenstine

Missouri Law Review

As the collateral consequences of court judgments gain increased recognition, courts in many states have modified traditional doctrinal approaches to mootness in order to give due regard to these repercussions. Missouri has not formally joined these states, yet a survey of recent mootness analyses within the state indicates that courts are seeking to allow for consideration of such consequences in spite of the doctrinal constraints. This tension has been most evident in appellate review of expired orders of protection for domestic violence, and the result has been vast inconsistency both in how courts approach the issue and how it is …


Is It Hot In Here - The Eighth Circuit's Reduction Of Fourth Amendment Protections In The Home, William E. Marcantel Jun 2008

Is It Hot In Here - The Eighth Circuit's Reduction Of Fourth Amendment Protections In The Home, William E. Marcantel

Missouri Law Review

Several years ago, the United States military developed thermal imaging technology for targeting and reconnaissance purposes which law enforcement agencies subsequently adopted as a means of conducting surveillance in support of counter-narcotics efforts. Police use thermal imaging devices in counter-narcotics operations by scanning buildings and homes in order to determine higher heat emissions from buildings. These higher than normal thermal readings of homes act as indicators of possible marijuana grow operations due to the high output of heat from the indoor lamps commonly used for such activities. Even though a majority of jurisdictions have held that a thermal imaging scan …


Bundled Discounts: The Ninth Circuit And The Third Circuit Are On Separate Lepage's , Blake I. Markus Jun 2008

Bundled Discounts: The Ninth Circuit And The Third Circuit Are On Separate Lepage's , Blake I. Markus

Missouri Law Review

Most courts and commentators agree that the ultimate goal of antitrust is efficiency. Accordingly, an antitrust aim is to guarantee competitive markets, which both increases output and lowers prices to the benefit of consumers. Bundled discounts, packages of goods put together by a seller that are sold at a lower price than if each good were purchased separately, may provide a means of enhancing competition. Such bundles are prevalent in nearly every market including fast food value meals, season tickets to sporting events, and buy one, get one half-price schemes. Sellers provide bundled discounts for a variety of reasons including …
