In Celebration Of Constitutional Kindness: Soft Symbolism In A Hard Shell, James Audley Mclaughlin

West Virginia Law Review

The bicentennial of any constitution is surely an invitation to much sententious rhetoric. But the bicentennial of THE Constitution, The American Constitution of 1787, is an occasion for oratorical pyrotechnics of the first magnitude. So I shall make my brief tribute to note the importance of the Constitution as symbol - symbol of our national resolve to be a good society. Constitutions, in general, have two distinct functions: (1) As the outward sign and symbol of a society's fundamental commitment to social values and (2) perhaps more mundanely, as the framework for a political order. Our Constitution of 1787 (or …

Proceedings of the Sino-American Conference on Environmental Law (August 16)

On August 16 through 18, 1987 a delegation of 10 Americans met with a 14-member Chinese delegation to compare the systems of environmental law in the two countries.

This program was the fruition of nearly three years of discussion, planning, and organization involving Dean Betsy Levin and the Natural Resources Law Center.

The American Advantage: The Value Of Inefficient Litigation, Samuel R. Gross

Articles

In a recent article, The German Advantage in Civil Procedure,1 Professor John Langbein claims that the German system of civil litigation is superior to the American; in an earlier article he makes a parallel claim about German criminal procedure.2 Roughly, Professor Langbein argues that by comparison to the German process, American litigation is overly complex, expensive, slow, and unpredictable - in short, inefficient.3 Professor Langbein is not the first and will not be the last to criticize American legal institutions in these terms, but he expresses this criticism particularly well: he is concise and concrete, he describes American practice by …

The United States-Canadian Automotive Trading Relationship And The Legality Of The Canadian Duty Remission Program, David A. Cohen

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

The automotive industry influences the entire U.S. economy. This huge industrial structure directly affects over four million jobs in the United States. In terms of foreign trade in 1985, the United States exported approximately $6 billion worth of new passenger cars to foreign nations; 96 percent of those automobiles went to Canada. This is an illustration of the U.S. automotive industry's direct interest in the U.S.-Canadian trading relationship, and the desire to obtain the potential benefits of a "broadened trading relationship" between the two countries. Presently, the United States and Canada have a unique dutyfree automotive trading arrangement which is …

Two Firsts: A Comparative Study Of The American And The Polish Constitutions, Rett R. Ludwikowski

Michigan Journal of International Law

This article is only an introductory study to further inquiry. It focuses on the first two constitutions in the world: the American Constitution of 1787 and the Polish Constitution of May 3, 1791. Furthermore, the emphasis of this essay will be disposed of in a different manner than in the above mentioned studies. The author's purpose is not to add another article to the numerous works already devoted to American Constitutional development; instead, the following remarks will emphasize Polish constitutional history, and treat the American constitutional experience as a background for comparison.
