Trademark Harmonization: Norms, Names & Nonsense, Kenneth L. Port Jan 1998

Trademark Harmonization: Norms, Names & Nonsense, Kenneth L. Port

Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review

Professor Port provides a comment on Marshall A. Leaffer's article that offers another viewpoint on the important issue of the globalization process and trademark law. Rather than seeking ideals of international trademark laws through harmonization, Professor Port suggests that a better objective is internationalization. Professor Port explains that harmonization of international trademark law will be impossible as long as world communities adhere to territorial justifications for sovereignty and jurisdiction. Because goods flow in the reality of an international market, Professor Port reasons that initiatives to avoid inefficiencies and uncertainties of global trademark laws should be directed toward internationalization.

Forum Shopping For Arbitration Decisions: Federal Courts' Use Of Antisuit Injunctions Against State Courts, Jean R. Sternlight Jan 1998

Forum Shopping For Arbitration Decisions: Federal Courts' Use Of Antisuit Injunctions Against State Courts, Jean R. Sternlight

Scholarly Works

Arbitration clauses, which are supposed to do away with litigation, have ironically spawned many complicated and expensive court fights. Some of the most complex cases involve both forum shopping by the parties and jurisdictional turf battles between federal and state courts. Federal courts have, on quite a few occasions, actually gone so far as to enjoin a state court from continuing to consider a pending case because the federal court concluded that the matter ought to be arbitrated. The Supreme Court, however, has never ruled on whether or when such "arbitral antisuit injunctions" are permissible. In Moses H. Cone Memorial …


La Preuve Pénale Et Des Tests Génétiques: United States Report, Christopher L. Blakesley Jan 1998

La Preuve Pénale Et Des Tests Génétiques: United States Report, Christopher L. Blakesley

Scholarly Works

A major problem for those analyzing U.S. criminal law and procedure is that it does not fit the Continental or British mold. There is no one single system, but parallel federal and 50 state systems each with its own legislature, laws, courts (including trial, appellate, and supreme courts), police, prosecutors and prisons. The authorities who enact and implement these laws are sovereign within their respective jurisdictions. Each state has police power over its people. The 10th amendment to the U.S. Constitution controls allocation of federal and state authority. It provides that whatever the Constitution has not designated as being within …

The Phoenix And The Perils Of The Second Best: Why Heightened Appellate Deference To Tax Court Decisions Is Undesirable, Steve R. Johnson Jan 1998

The Phoenix And The Perils Of The Second Best: Why Heightened Appellate Deference To Tax Court Decisions Is Undesirable, Steve R. Johnson

Articles by Maurer Faculty

In our judicial structure, both courts of general jurisdiction and specialized courts are empowered to adjudicate federal income tax controversies. A proper relationship among those courts has proved difficult to forge and maintain. Absent an enduring intellectual and political consensus, institutional arrangements have been subject to recurring question and challenge.


Tribal-State Affairs: American States As 'Disclaiming' Sovereigns, David E. Wilkins Jan 1998

Tribal-State Affairs: American States As 'Disclaiming' Sovereigns, David E. Wilkins

Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications

The history of tribal-state political relations has been contentious from the beginning of the republic. As a result of these tensions, the relationship of tribal nations and the federal government was federalized when the U.S. Constitution was ratified in 1788. Thus, a number of states, especially in the West, were required in their organic acts and constitutions to forever disclaim jurisdiction over Indian property and persons. This article analyzes these disclaimer clauses, explains the factors that have enabled the states to assume some jurisdictional presence in Indian Country, examines the key issues in which disclaimers continue to carry significant weight, …

Domestic Relations Family Violence: Provide Jurisdiction And Venue Over Nonresidents In Certain Circumstances; Provide That It Is Unlawful To Knowingly Disclose Location Of Family Violence Shelter; Provide That The State Commission On Family Violence Be Assigned To The Administrative Office Of The Courts For Administrative Purposes Only, Margaret Ann Shannon Sep 1997

Domestic Relations Family Violence: Provide Jurisdiction And Venue Over Nonresidents In Certain Circumstances; Provide That It Is Unlawful To Knowingly Disclose Location Of Family Violence Shelter; Provide That The State Commission On Family Violence Be Assigned To The Administrative Office Of The Courts For Administrative Purposes Only, Margaret Ann Shannon

Georgia State University Law Review

The Act gives the superior court jurisdiction over family violence proceedings when the victim resides in the jurisdiction or when the act occurs in the jurisdiction, regardless of where the offender resides, as long as personal jurisdiction is otherwise satisfied. This Act assigns the State Commission on Family Violence to the Administrative Office of the Courts for administrative purposes only. In addition, the Act makes it a misdemeanor to knowingly reveal the location of a family violence center.

Interprovincial Sovereign Immunity Revisited, Janet Walker Apr 1997

Interprovincial Sovereign Immunity Revisited, Janet Walker

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

The conventional wisdom has been that the Canadian provincial Crowns are immune from the jurisdiction of the courts of other Canadian provinces just as they are immune from the jurisdiction of foreign courts. This reflects the old views that the provinces are like foreign countries for the purposes of the conflict of laws and that court jurisdiction over the Crown is purely a creature of statute. Recent recognition of the constitutional bases for court jurisdiction and the need to reassess conflict of laws rules in light of the principles of Canadian federalism invites us to revisit interprovincial sovereign immunity, especially …

Internet Jurisdictional Issues: Fundamental Fairness In A Virtual World, Karin M. Mika, Aaron J. Reber Jan 1997

Internet Jurisdictional Issues: Fundamental Fairness In A Virtual World, Karin M. Mika, Aaron J. Reber

Law Faculty Articles and Essays

This Article explains Internet jurisdictional issues within the current framework that enables a state to assert in personam jurisdiction. This Article argues that existing jurisdictional tests are appropriate in determining the fairness of jurisdiction in cases involving the Internet, despite the vast outreach capacity of computers. This Article will first examine the development of law concerning in personam jurisdiction. Next, this Article will reflect on how courts have handled jurisdictional issues respecting other modes of communication, namely the mail and telephone. Third, this Article will argue that in traditional jurisdictional analysis, courts have placed primary emphasis on business contacts and …

Text And Context In International Dispute Resolution, William W. Park Jan 1997

Text And Context In International Dispute Resolution, William W. Park

Faculty Scholarship

More than one thoughtful business manager has contemplated the prospect of litigation abroad in terms analogous to those used by the 19th century diarist quoted above. When an international venture goes awry, the dramatically disagreeable consequences can often include the "hometown justice" of the other side's national courts: unfamiliar procedures, perhaps a foreign language, and in some countries, a xenophobic or even corrupt judge.
