The Art Of International Law, Hilary Charlesworth
The Art Of International Law, Hilary Charlesworth
American University Law Review
International lawyers study international law primarily through its written texts—treaties, official documents, judgments, and scholarly works. Critical to being an international lawyer, it seems, is access to the written word, whether in hard copy or online. Indeed, as Jesse Hohmann observes, “the production of text can come to feel like the very purpose of international law.”
The Failure To Grapple With Racial Capitalism In European Constitutionalism, Jeffrey Miller
The Failure To Grapple With Racial Capitalism In European Constitutionalism, Jeffrey Miller
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
Since the 1980s prominent scholars of European legal integration have used the example of U.S. constitutionalism to promote a federal vision for the European Community. These scholars, drawing lessons from developments across the Atlantic, concluded that the U.S. Supreme Court had played a key role in fostering national integration and market liberalization. They foresaw the possibility for the European Court of Justice (ECJ) to be a catalyst for a similar federal and constitutional outcome in Europe. The present contribution argues that the scholars who constructed today’s dominant European constitutional paradigm underemphasized key aspects of the U.S. constitutional experience, including judgments …

The Wto And The Anti-Corruption Movement, Padideh Ala'i
The Wto And The Anti-Corruption Movement, Padideh Ala'i
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
This article explores the role of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in promoting good governance while placing WTO within the larger framework of the ongoing global anti-corruption movement. Governmental policies aimed at fighting corruption are part of the good governance criteria set forth by the World Bank and other donor agencies. An important element of good governance is transparency, which has also been one of the pillars of the multilateral trading system.

Remarks By An Idealist On The Realism Of 'The Limits Of International Law', Kenneth Anderson
Remarks By An Idealist On The Realism Of 'The Limits Of International Law', Kenneth Anderson
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
This paper is a response to Jack L. Goldsmith and Eric A. Posner, 'The Limits of International Law' (Oxford 2005), part of a symposium on the book held at the University of Georgia Law School in October 2005. The review views 'The Limits of International Law' sympathetically, and focuses on the intersection between traditional and new methodologies of international law scholarship, on the one hand, and the substantive political commitments that differing international law scholars hold, on the other. The paper notes that some in the symposium claim that the problem with 'The Limits of International Law' is that it …
Sacred Visions Of Law, Robert Tsai
Sacred Visions Of Law, Robert Tsai
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
Around the time of the Bicentennial Celebration of the U.S. Constitution's framing, Professor Sanford Levinson called upon Americans to renew our constitutional faith. This article answers the call by examining how two legal symbols - Marbury v. Madison and Brown v. Board of Education - have been used by jurists over the years to tend the American community of faith. Blending constitutional theory and the study of religious form, the article argues that the decisions have become increasingly linked in the legal imagination even as they have come to signify very different sacred visions of law. One might think that …
