Binding The Dogs Of War: Japan And The Constitutionalizing Of Jus Ad Bellum, Craig Martin
Binding The Dogs Of War: Japan And The Constitutionalizing Of Jus Ad Bellum, Craig Martin
Craig Martin
There is still very little constitutional control over the decision to use armed force, and very limited domestic implementation of the international principles of jus ad bellum, notwithstanding the increasing overlap between international and domestic legal systems and the spread of constitutional democracy. The relationship between constitutional and international law constraints on the use of armed force has a long history. Aspects of constitutional theory, liberal theories of international law, and transnational process theory of international law compliance, suggest that constitutional design could legitimately be used as a pre-commitment device to lock-in jus ad bellum principles, and thereby enhance compliance …

The Evolution Of Property Rights: A Synthetic Overview, James E. Krier
The Evolution Of Property Rights: A Synthetic Overview, James E. Krier
Law & Economics Working Papers Archive: 2003-2009
In this paper I review, extend, and critique two contrasting approaches to the evolution of property rights. The legal literature on the subject is dominated by a conventional approach, which holds a virtual monopoly despite its many shortcomings, and the literature neglects an alternative approach, despite its many virtues (including, but not limited to, the virtue of responding to many of the conventional approach’s deficiencies). The paper provides an overview of both approaches, including a brief intellectual history of each – and should thus inform readers without specialized knowledge of the subject but nevertheless interested in it – and aims …

Paul’S Contextualization Of The Gospel Before The Areopagus In Acts 17, Philip J. Luca
Paul’S Contextualization Of The Gospel Before The Areopagus In Acts 17, Philip J. Luca
Senior Honors Theses
The following thesis is an analysis on Paul’s presentation of the gospel to the Areopagus as recorded in Acts 17:22-31. The reasons behind his drastic permutation of the kerygma will be scrutinized by studying the exposition of the main components of the speech in parallel with an analysis of his audience. The objective of the thesis is to investigate the Apostle’s consistency with the orthodox kerygma as well as his interaction with the Gentile listeners. In conclusion, consequences for a relevant gospel presentation today will be proposed in light of Paul’s homily to the Areopagite Council.

Ultra Vires Statutes: Alive, Kicking, And A Means Of Circumventing The Scalia Standing Gauntlet In Environmental Litigation, Adam J. Sulkowski
Adam J. Sulkowski
This article makes a critical contribution to the fields of environmental and corporate law. It explains a problem in the citizen enforcement of environmental statutes: the issue of how to establish and secure standing to sue. The article then recommends a novel solution based in corporate law: the application of ultra vires statutes. The article significantly contributes to the scholarly literature on ultra vires statutes by: (1) examining thoroughly the history of the ultra vires doctrine, especially in early American history, (2) clarifying that scholars and practitioners should now cite ultra vires statutes rather than the doctrine, (3) reviewing recent …

Cyber Civil Rights (November 2008; Mp3), Danielle Keats Citron
Faculty Scholarship
Social networking sites and blogs have increasingly become breeding grounds for anonymous online groups that attack women, people of color, and members of other traditionally disadvantaged groups. These destructive groups target individuals with defamation, threats of violence, and technology-based attacks that silence victims and concomitantly destroy their privacy. Victims go offline or assume pseudonyms to prevent future attacks, impoverishing online dialogue and depriving victims of the social and economic opportunities associated with a vibrant online presence. Attackers manipulate search engines to reproduce their lies and threats for employers and clients to see, creating digital "scarlet letters" that ruin reputations. Today's …

Beyond The Plenary-Power Doctrine: How Critical Race Theory Can Help Move Us Past The Chinese Exclusion Case, Freddy R. Funes
Beyond The Plenary-Power Doctrine: How Critical Race Theory Can Help Move Us Past The Chinese Exclusion Case, Freddy R. Funes
Freddy R Funes
In few areas does Critical Race Theory (CRT) give as much insight as it does in analyzing immigration law’s plenary-power doctrine. When in need of cheap labor, the United States opens its border, and, when the economy struggles, the United States reacts with racist violence against aliens. The plenary-power doctrine, which prevents courts from reviewing the actions of the political branches in the immigration context, furthers the aliens’ oppression. Thus, while the legislative and executive branches discriminate, the courts idly stand by. But the courts’ rationalizations for the plenary-power doctrine lack merit. Due to its precarious foundation, this Paper questions …
