The Effects Of Recent Modifications In Egyptian Building Regulations On Urban Development And Socioeconomic Conditions Over The Past Decade, Mohamed M. Abohelal

Journal of Engineering Research

Over the past decade, Egypt has witnessed significant transformations in its urban regulatory framework, particularly through successive amendments to the Unified Building Law No. 119 of 2008. These legislative changes, implemented in 2015, 2021, and 2024, reflect evolving state strategies to manage urban growth, streamline construction processes, and address challenges in regulatory compliance. The 2015 amendments sought to enhance administrative coordination and facilitate permit acquisition, while the 2021 reforms imposed stringent restrictions on building height, coverage ratios, and facade dimensions, provoking widespread controversy due to their misalignment with local urban realities and economic capacities. In response to ensuing public and …

Optical Signature As A Modern Means Of Judicial Evidence A Comparative Study, Fadia Mohamed Ismail

Imam Ja'afar Al-Sadiq University Journal of Legal Studies

In light of the development taking place in information technology, the patterns of contracts began to shift from the physical (traditional) pattern to the technological (immaterial) pattern, which is carried out through the Internet and is called electronic contracts. These contracts include optical signature, which is a prerequisite for their validity and enforcement. In the light of electronic commerce, if disputes arise related to these electronic contracts, the signature has an important role in proving and resolving these disputes before the courts. Also, the biggest problem facing the litigants to establish disputes that take place over the Internet is information …

Civil Confrontation Of The Phenomenon Of Building On Agricultural Land For Residential Purposes, Mahmoud Adel Mahmoud

Imam Ja'afar Al-Sadiq University Journal of Legal Studies

The growing population is making city centers housing inadequate for residents, leading to urban spread that takes away green areas. This situation creates problems, mainly an imbalance in the urban environment and a risk to agricultural land, which is essential for food security. In Iraq, lawmakers have established ways to protect agricultural land from development. Still, poor enforcement of these laws has worsened these issues, resulting in the loss of green spaces with each new residential expansion. From this view, our study's issue has come up, focusing on whether the rules made by the Iraqi legislator are good enough to …

Report Of The National Expert For The United States In Mapping Third Party Litigation Funding In The European Union, Maya Steinitz

Faculty Scholarship

Commercial third-party litigation funding (“TPLF”) is not centrally regulated in the United States.  It is subject to the overlapping jurisdiction of state and federal courts, state and federal legislatures, regulatory agencies, and bar associations. Legislation, regulation, and oversight of TPLF is being undertaken at each of those levels – much of it centered around the questions of when and whether TPLF should be disclosed; how to mitigate conflicts of interest created by TPLF (including the potential for claimants to lose control over their case to funders); and the identification of any foreign individuals, entities, or countries that may be providing …

Should Tax-Free Triangular Mergers Be Eliminated?, Reuven Avi-Yonah

Articles

The tax advantages of reverse triangular mergers under section 368(a)(2)(E) are well known. They enable the acquiring corporation (P) to use up to 60 percent cash consideration to acquire the stock of target (T) through a merger with a controlled subsidiary (S), with T surviving. This amount of boot is higher than what is allowed under a B or C reorganization. Because it is a triangular merger, it avoids exposing the assets of P to the liabilities of T (unlike a direct merger), and because it is equivalent to a stock acquisition, it avoids having to transfer assets, which is …

“Ni Hao” At The Southern Border: Crafting The U.S. Policy Response To The Post-Pandemic Cohort Of Chinese Migrants, Wei Luo

The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice

Undocumented migrants feature prominently in modern American politics. One group of migrants, however, has drawn relatively little attention—those from the People’s Republic of China. Leading up to the 2024 election, Chinese migrants were the fastest growing group of migrants entering from the U.S.-Mexico border. This Article proposes that U.S. policymakers take a three-prong approach to responding to Chinese migrants who have entered the country in recent years or who may enter in the future. First, use asylum law as an instrument of U.S. foreign policy and grant asylum to Chinese migrants in numbers appropriate to advance America’s national interest in …

The Unamerican Dream: Breaking The Barriers Of Standardized Testing For Ell Students In A Post-Affirmative Action Era, Laura Rua

The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice

By analyzing existing research and legal frameworks, this comment assesses shortcomings of bilingual education in Texas and its under-preparation for ELL students to take standardized testing and whether current testing practices adequately accommodate the needs of ELL students.Ultimately, this comment proposes policy recommendations aimed at promoting fair and equitable assessment practices in bilingual education for K–12 ELL students.

Your Turn Texas: A Failed Bill For Conviction Integrity Units And Funding, Jasmine Silva

The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice

This comment reviews the history and consequences of wrongful convictions, explores the proposed Conviction Integrity Act of 2021, and scrutinizes Texas's role in exonerations. The root of wrongful convictions depends on various factors. However, the slow overturn of wrongful convictions largely depends on the lack of funding conviction integrity units and innocence organizations receive. The devastating truth is that there are many known wrongfully incarcerated persons sitting in prison because of the amount of funds necessary to reinvestigate a possible exoneration. This comment walks through the Conviction Integrity Act of 2021, a bill proposed by Senator Klobuchar and Senator Cornyn, …
