The History Of Zoological Gardens And The State, Federal And International Laws That Govern Them, Morgan Maxwell

Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects

The history of zoos in North America can be traced back through 18th century Europe to ancient civilizations such as the Romans. The menageries of ancient Rome were far different from modern zoos that stress conservation, education, and research as primary objectives. Zoos are still evolving and changing to become more suitable for captive animals and to ensure their animals’ health and well-being. An examination of state wildlife laws reveals that there are more laws that pertain to wildlife at the state and local level than at any other level of government. Federal wildlife laws are few in number and …

Law and Economics as a Rhetorical Perspective in Law

Michael D. Murray

Abstract

This article introduces twenty-first century law and economics as a school of contemporary legal rhetoric to test and improve general legal discourse in areas beyond the economic analysis of law. My article is the first to examine the prescriptive implications of the rhetoric of law and economics for general legal discourse as opposed to examining the benefits and limitations of the economic analysis of law itself. This article advances the conversation in two areas: the study and understanding of the persuasiveness of law and economics and the …

Vat Fraud As A Policy Stimulus: Is The U.S. Watching?, Richard Thompson Ainsworth

Faculty Scholarship

The EU VAT, like most mature tax regimes, is resistant to change. Fraudsters are testing this resilience today, and this may not be such a bad thing for policy-makers. Significant challenges produce significant reforms proposals. If the US is seriously considering a VAT it would do well to observe this dynamic, avoid the known pitfalls, and work to advance the policy debate before it inherits a problem.

The most serious EU VAT frauds include missing trader intra-community fraud (MTIC), its extra-community companion in tradable services (MTEC), and sales suppression (the fraud of manipulating cash register records with Zappers and phantomware). …

Rule 44.1, Bodum Usa V. La Cafetiere, And The Challenge Of Determining Foreign Law, Philip D. Stacey

Seventh Circuit Review

More than ever, domestic courts are asked to resolve international disputes, often requiring domestic courts to analyze and apply foreign law. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 44.1 sets the basic parameters for raising and determining foreign law issues in federal courts. In Bodum USA, Inc. v. La Cafetiere, Inc., the Seventh Circuit debated the propriety of relying on foreign law experts to aid the court in determining foreign law, even though Rule 44.1 specifically authorizes that practice. Two of the appellate judges argued that published materials such as treatises and foreign law translations were more reliable than expert testimony. …
