The Life Science Lawyer, Erin Albert Jan 2009

The Life Science Lawyer, Erin Albert

Butler University Books

Health care and life sciences are increasingly complex. There are many global players in life sciences and healthcare-patients, governments, hospitals, managed care companies, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies and pharmacies are only a few. With this increasing complexity comes a higher demand for hybrid professionals who can translate both the science as well as the legal issues surrounding this complicated environment. In the US, there are thousands of life science lawyers--people who have both a scientific/healthcare background and also who have gone on to law school (or in one case, vice versa). This book explores the following through interviews: …

Revelation And Idolatry: Holy Law And Holy Terror, Regina Schwartz Jan 2009

Revelation And Idolatry: Holy Law And Holy Terror, Regina Schwartz

Faculty Working Papers

THE Book of Exodus desscribes the identity of justice and the law. Because elsewhere the gap between justice and the law is so wide -- in Christian theology when it sees the Pharisaic law as inhibiting the realization of justice; in philosophy where from Plato on, law is formal while is justice substantive; in political theory, which includes those who endorse "procedural justice" when they abandon substantive justice -- this radical biblical vision, wherein the law is justice is surely unique. This is not an understanding of the law as a series of prescriptions, the "yoke of the law" but …

Attorney-Client Fee Agreements That Offend Public Policy, Alex B. Long Jan 2009

Attorney-Client Fee Agreements That Offend Public Policy, Alex B. Long

Scholarly Works

Under traditional contract law principles, an agreement may be deemed unenforceable because it so clearly offends established public policy that recovery under the contract is inappropriate. In such cases, there has traditionally been a presumption against permitting the offending party to recover, either under the contract or in quantum meruit. Yet, the legal profession (through the Restatement of the Law Governing Lawyers) and the courts (through their decisions) have effectively reversed that presumption and have announced a general rule in favor of permitting lawyers to recover fees even when their fee agreements clearly offend well-established and strong public policy. Moreover, …

The Effectiveness Of Economic Sanctions: The Case Of Cuba, Sven Juhn Von Burgsdorff Jan 2009

The Effectiveness Of Economic Sanctions: The Case Of Cuba, Sven Juhn Von Burgsdorff

Intercultural Human Rights Law Review

This paper starts with a review of more recent scholarship on the effectiveness of economic sanctions, with a particular focus on the question of whether sanctions succeeded in promoting respect for human rights and democracy. On the basis of available evidence, this will lead to some concluding remarks on those aspects which are likely to make economic sanctions a successful foreign policy tool. We will then look at the case of Cuba and the impact of the U.S. embargo and existing economic restrictions. A concluding chapter will finally suggest a number of general policy lessons for the U.S. and the …

A View From Below: Grassroots Perspectives On Human Rights, The U.S. Embargo And Everyday Life In Contemporary Cuba, Katrin Hansing

Intercultural Human Rights Law Review

I would like to contribute to today's discussion by doing two main things: (1) by looking at the issues at hand, i.e. U.S. policy towards Cuba, in particular the U.S. embargo, as well as the human rights situation on the island, from a Cuban grassroots perspective i.e. share with you how average Cubans think and feel about these issues; and (2) reflect on some of the changes and continuities and the tensions between the two that have taken place in Cuban society over the past ten to fifteen years and how these processes may factor into future developments both on …


International Sanctions From A Human Rights Law Perspective: Some Observations On The Kadi Judgment Of The European Court Of Justice, Eckart Klein Jan 2009

International Sanctions From A Human Rights Law Perspective: Some Observations On The Kadi Judgment Of The European Court Of Justice, Eckart Klein

Intercultural Human Rights Law Review

In international law, sanctions may be imposed by States or, if they have the power to do so, by international organizations. In this context the question to consider is whether - and if so, to what extent - respect for human rights must be considered to be a major, perhaps even essential element in the decision-making process.


Why Human Rights Confuse The Sanctions Debate: Towards A Goal-Sensitive Framework For Evaluating United Nations Security Council Sanctions, Padraic Foran Jan 2009

Why Human Rights Confuse The Sanctions Debate: Towards A Goal-Sensitive Framework For Evaluating United Nations Security Council Sanctions, Padraic Foran

Intercultural Human Rights Law Review

The article searches for a comprehensive moral framework by which to evaluate United States Security Council sanctions. It explores the goals of UNSC sanctions, finding that they largely match the goals of criminal punishment. It then concludes that the discourse of human rights, frequently deployed to justify sanctions, actually confounds these goals. For instance, where a sanction aims to deter, reform, incapacitate, punish, or exclude a state that violates human rights by denying political liberties, the sanction is usually protracted and is comparatively the least likely to its goal. Procedurally, a sanction fails in this situation because of a catch-22. …

New Adventures Of Old Pauline Law, Tawia Baidoe Ansah Jan 2009

New Adventures Of Old Pauline Law, Tawia Baidoe Ansah

Faculty Publications

This article examines the idea of law within two recent philosophical approaches to a theological text. Giorgio Agamben and Alain Badiou, two postmodern philosophers on the political left, look to the letters of St. Paul for the definition and extraction of the political subject. They look to Paul’s messianism and his conversion to discover, within their own philosophical projects, what is truly political within the Western philosophical tradition, for which Paul’s theology is unconditional. The article focuses on the conception of law that, in turn, derives from these projects. The article suggests that within both, despite the objective rejection of …
