Saddam Hussein As Hostes Humani Generis? Should The U.S. Intervene?, Edieth Y. Wu

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

This article discusses several jurisdictional principles which may assist the United States in its efforts to acquire jurisdiction in certain situations that are declared, by the United States, egregious enough to warrant intervention.

This article concentrates on developing and employing the Hostes Humani Generis Theory 2 and its past and possible future use. The central focus is to determine whether the possibility exists that the United States may use the theory in an effort to acquire physical jurisdiction over Saddam Hussein.

A survey, though not comprehensive, …

Loyola University Chicago Law Journal

In 1997, the Illinois House of Representatives conducted its first impeachment investigation of an Illinois Supreme Court justice in 145 years.

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

The increasing use of the Internet as a marketplace has invariably resulted in a race for recognition among market forces. The use of slogans and trade names, which in the "real world" are the centerpiece for competition, has followed onto the Internet. These "domain names" are the lifeblood of businesses competing for the almighty dollar from consumers. As the billion dollar a year Internet business place has developed, the fight over domain names began. Today as a result of the lack of domains available, lawsuits and disputes have resulted. The inability or unwillingness of Internic and the government to find …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

The advent of patent protection for genetically engineered inventions occurred in 1980 with the landmark Supreme Court decision in Diamond v. Chakrabarty. Following the lead of the Supreme Court, the Patent and Trademark Office ("PTO"), in 1987, issued a new regulatory ruling that expanded the PTO's statutory interpretation of 35 U.S.C. § 101 patentable subject matter to include devices based upon nonnatural occurring manufacture or composition of matter resulting from some level of human intervention in the modification of nonhuman organisms. One year following the PTO proclamation, the first patent for a transgenic animal issue to Professors Leder and Stewart …

Lost In Cyberspace: The Digital Demise Of The First-Sale Doctrine, 16 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 825 (1998), Keith Kupferschmid

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

The Internet offers a means to create, copy and distribute copyrighted works of a quality and in a volume that was simply unknown before the World Wide Web was developed. A single Web page can be viewed by any of the millions of people with Internet access anywhere around the world, and "viewed" in terms of the Internet necessarily means "copied." This presents a problem when considered in the light of the First-Sale doctrine, which is part and parcel of § 109 of the Copyright Act. The doctrine allows a person to make a single copy of a copyrighted work …
