Legal Aspects Of Foreign Investments And Financing Of Energy Products In Nigeria, Niki Tobi
Legal Aspects Of Foreign Investments And Financing Of Energy Products In Nigeria, Niki Tobi
Dalhousie Law Journal
Nigeria is a Federation consisting of twenty-one States, and a Federal Capital Territory. It is the largest African Country with probably the largest concentration of foreign investment potentialities with a viable and adequate financing. In the true tenet of Federalism, the 1979 Constitution provided for a distinction in the legislative powers between the central Government and the State Governments. The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1989 has also maintained this federal arrangement. Although that is the constitutional position, the Military Government has, as a matter of policy, built into the system some element of unitarism in a federal …

This article compares core freedoms in the United States Constitution with similar constitutional experience encountered in the Nigerian Constitution. It is a study in difference, illuminated by learned papers and discussion of these issues by judges, lawyers, professors, journalists and activists in Nigeria. Moreover, to add a third dimension, differences and similarities in constitutional experiences are shown within the contemporary framework of international norms.

Understanding "Rights" And Bills Of Rights, Albert P. Blaustein, Carol Tenney
Understanding "Rights" And Bills Of Rights, Albert P. Blaustein, Carol Tenney
University of Richmond Law Review
Scholars hold that there are forty to fifty distinct human rights. History teaches that they should be constitutionally enshrined. In this modern era when constitution-making is multiplying, drafters of bills of rights must now determine questions of formulation and location. How should these forty to fifty distinct human rights be classified; where in these constitutions should these rights be recited?
The Second Amendment: A Study Of Recent Trends, Michael T. O'Donnell
The Second Amendment: A Study Of Recent Trends, Michael T. O'Donnell
University of Richmond Law Review
The second amendment of the Constitution of the United States reads: "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." The interpretation of these twenty-seven words has generated considerable debate since they were first declared in force in 1791.2 Despite a growing argument over the true meaning of the amendment, the Supreme Court has been reluctant to provide a definitive interpretation of the second amendment and thus give it the recognition it merits.
"I Vote This Way Because I'M Wrong": The Supreme Court Justice As Epimenides, John M. Rogers
"I Vote This Way Because I'M Wrong": The Supreme Court Justice As Epimenides, John M. Rogers
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
Possibly the most unsettling phenomenon in the Supreme Court's 1988 term was Justice White's decision to vote contrary to his own exhaustively stated reasoning in Pennsylvania v. Union Gas Co. His unexplained decision to vote against the result of his own analysis lends support to those who argue that law, or at least constitutional law, is fundamentally indeterminate. Proponents of the indeterminacy argument sometimes base their position on the allegedly inescapable inconsistency of decisions made by a multi-member court. There is an answer to the inconsistency argument, but it founders if justices sometimes vote, without explanation, on the basis of …
Beguiled: Free Exercise Exemptions And The Siren Song Of Liberalism, Gerard V. Bradley
Beguiled: Free Exercise Exemptions And The Siren Song Of Liberalism, Gerard V. Bradley
Journal Articles
From all the talk about our religious pluralism—how extensive, indelible, inarbitrable it is—one would expect that establishing one definition of religious liberty would be the mother of all civic disturbances. Wrong. We have a common definition of religious liberty. I can demonstrate our agreement with one exhibit: the immensely broad based denunciation of the 1990 Supreme Court decision, Employment Division v. Smith. Two counsellors at a drug rehabilitation center (Alfred Smith and Galen Black) appealed Oregon’s denial of unemployment benefits. Oregon cited the “misconduct” that led to their discharges. Their “misconduct” consisted of using the hallucinogenic drug peyote. Peyote …
Process Of Constitutional Decision Making, Kenneth F. Ripple
Process Of Constitutional Decision Making, Kenneth F. Ripple
Journal Articles
Over the past decade, our profession has engaged in an intense debate over the proper role of judges in the interpretation of our Constitution. This is not, of course, a new controversy. It has been with us ever since Chief Justice Marshall's decision in Marbury v. Madison.' However, during this last decade, the debate has taken on new dimensions. There is a new range and depth to the inquiry. What began as a discussion largely among members of the academic bar and some members of the judiciary has become a national political issue. Yet the basic question remains: In a …

Toward An Abolitionist Interpretation Of The Fourteenth Amendment, Robin West
Toward An Abolitionist Interpretation Of The Fourteenth Amendment, Robin West
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
It is by now an open secret that current interpretations of the meaning of the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, and of its relevance and mandate for contemporary problems of racial, gender, and economic justice, are deeply and, in a sense, hopelessly conflicted. The conflict, simply stated, is this: to the current Supreme Court, and to a sizeable and influential number of constitutional theorists, the "equal protection of the laws" guaranteed by the Constitution is essentially a guarantee that the categories delineated by legal rules will be "rational" and will be rationally related to legitimate state ends. To …
