Bridging The Gap: International Investment Law And Investor State Dispute Settlement Mechanism As A Catalyst For Economic Downturn And Human Rights Violations In Developing Countries, Rukayat Opeyemi Ibrahim

LLM Theses

At the very core of international investment law (IIL) lies the protection of foreign investments which are often exhibited by clauses found in Bilateral Investment Treaties (BIT’s) or investment chapters of Free Trade Agreements (FTA’s). These protections contain standard clauses that usually includes investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) as a mode of resolving disputes. For developing countries, the presence of foreign direct investment (FDI) within the territory of their host state signals development. However, the existence of certain standards for protecting FDI and foreign investors alike, as found in BIT’s or investment chapters of FTA’s, have meted out deleterious effects on …

Fostering Implementation Of The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals In Africa: Prospects Of Revenue Generation Under The Tax Treaties Signed By Nigeria, Tanzania, And Botswana, Oladiwura Ayeyemi Eyitayo-Oyesode

PhD Dissertations

African countries are behind in social and economic development. The citizens of these countries experience high levels of poverty and hunger, unemployment, maternal and infant mortality, lack of access to quality education, gender inequality and other social, economic and environmental ills. To fix these development challenges, African countries have been encouraged to improve on domestic resource mobilization. This is regarded as a more viable and sustainable way of actualizing the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) against reliance on aids and grants. Also, emphasis is placed on taxation as the primary source of revenue for funding development because it ensures ownership …

Artificial Intelligence Inventions, Haochen Sun

Florida State University Law Review

In the new technological era, artificial intelligence (AI) reigns supreme. With the assistance of AI systems, society is undergoing a radical transformation. AI may not only soon replace human labor in many industrial sectors, but as AI gains the power to generate greater inventions, it may also outsmart human inventors. How should patent law and policy adapt to the formidable challenges of the AI era? One of these challenges, addressed by patent offices and courts in 2020 and beyond, is whether AI inventorship should be recognized. The United States Patent and Trademark Office and European Patent Office declined to recognize …

Adult Supervision? Appellate Review, Mandamus, And The Federal Rules In Multidistrict Litigation, Andrew Bradt, Calen Bennett

Florida State University Law Review

When a disaster of nationwide importance is dropped into the lap of a single federal judge as a multidistrict litigation (MDL), we expect a lot. The judge is supposed to efficiently manage the litigation as a massive aggregate, perhaps toward a workable resolution, while also still treating the cases transferred to the MDL as individual entities, respecting the rights and interests of the parties on both sides of the v. Doing so is a constant balancing act. Typically, and appropriately in our view, the MDL judge should be the one striking that balance day to day-with very limited interference. Indeed, …

Students, Threat, Race, And Police: An Empirical Study, Jason P. Nance, Michael Heise

Florida State University Law Review

The presence of law enforcement officers in schools is more pronounced today than ever before, altering the educational experiences of students nationwide. Although the benefits of having police in schools are unclear, the legal and policy implications flowing into students' lives are more established. Empirical studies repeatedly have documented a strong connection between regular police contact with schools and the increased rate at which school officials report students to law enforcement for committing various offenses, including lower-level offenses that arguably could be handled internally. This Article provides the first in-depth empirical study of data spanning a decade that identifies characteristics …

Affirmatively Resisting, Ezra Rosser

Florida State University Law Review

This Article argues that administrative processes, in particular rulemaking's notice-and-comment requirement, enable local institutions to fight back against federal deregulatory efforts. Federalism all the way down means that state and local officials can dissent from within when challenging federal action. Drawing upon the ways in which localities, states, public housing authorities, and fair housing nonprofits resisted the Trump Administration's efforts to roll back federal fair housing enforcement, this Article shows how uncooperative federalism works in practice. Despite the fact that the 1968 Fair Housing Act requires that the federal government affirmatively further fair housing (AFFH), the requirement was largely ignored …

Local Action For Animals As A Stepping Stone To State Protections, Jo Anderson

Law

Municipal ordinances can be an effective way to create animal protection laws at the local level, and could lead to great success at the state level. Passing laws at the local level allows people to help animals in their communities, while providing a model for other cities and jurisdictions. Local laws can also create momentum for statewide initiatives, which demonstrates a state’s strong commitment to protecting animals.

Legislation is a key avenue animal advocates use to effect change at scale, but there is not much research about how to choose tractable issues and lobby for them successfully. The goal of …
