The Role Of Legal Doctrine In The Decline Of The Islamic Waqf: A Comparison With The Trust, Jeffrey A. Schoenblum Oct 1999

The Role Of Legal Doctrine In The Decline Of The Islamic Waqf: A Comparison With The Trust, Jeffrey A. Schoenblum

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

The Waqf and the trust have an ancient, intertwined history. However, whereas the Waqf has largely remained a static institution, the trust has proven remarkably flexible and responsive to changing conditions affecting intergenerational management of family wealth and its preservation. While there is a temptation to find clones in legal constructs of different cultures, care must be exercised to avoid simplistic or superficial generalizations. This is true of the Waqf and the trust. It would be intriguing to find comparable wealth administration and preservation constructs in these two great systems of law. This is simply not the case with the …

The Earmarking Defense To Voidable Preference Liability: A Reconceptualization, David G. Carlson, William H. Widen Jul 1999

The Earmarking Defense To Voidable Preference Liability: A Reconceptualization, David G. Carlson, William H. Widen

Articles

The article argues that the earmarking doctrine, a judge-created exception to 547b liability, should be reinterpreted under 547c1 of the Bankruptcy Code. It posits that the doctrine's current reliance on vague concepts like "control" is legally unsound and inconsistent with statutory intent. By aligning earmarking with the contemporaneous exchange defense under 547c1, the analysis would focus on the parties' intent and the timing of the exchange, eliminating the need for the controversial control criterion. This approach would bring clarity and consistency to bankruptcy law, preventing arbitrary outcomes and ensuring compliance with the Bankruptcy Code.

Montana's Foreign Capital Depository Act, David Aronofsky May 1999

Montana's Foreign Capital Depository Act, David Aronofsky

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

In 1997, Montana attracted national and world financial attention when Montana Governor Mark Racicot signed into law Senate Bill 83, the Foreign Capital Depository Act (Act), creating the first U.S. state-chartered financial entity designed solely for attracting non-U.S. capital. Depicted by skeptics as an unworkable "Panama without the Canal," "Switzerland of the Rockies" and "Rocky Mountain High," Montana is nonetheless pursuing a creative approach to increased state revenues that capitalizes on the state's unique privacy laws as well as innovative statutory drafting. The Act warrants attention from offshore assets owners and managers who seek U.S. stability in a state committed …

Roundtable Discussion, David Aronofsky, Barry S. Engel, Eric Henzy, Gideon Rothschild, Jeffrey A. Schoenblum

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Welcome to the Roundtable panel discussion. Each of the speakers is going to open with a few minutes statement. And then we're going to pose some questions to open discussion, so it will take people through the whole asset protection route from beginning to end, hopefully. And then, any questions you may have we believe we'll have sufficient time to ask those questions and have them answered. You may get very different views. And then we've just decided that the jury will decide whether asset protection trusts are a good thing or a bad thing. Okay. So pay attention.

International Trade And Commerce: A Bridge For The Israelipalestinian Peace, Amir H. Khoury Apr 1999

International Trade And Commerce: A Bridge For The Israelipalestinian Peace, Amir H. Khoury

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article examines the legal and economic framework governing trade between Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA), emphasizing the critical role of trade in advancing the peace process. While the Declaration of Principles on Interim Self-Government Arrangements (DOP) and the Economic Protocol established foundational principles for economic cooperation, ambiguities in these agreements and practical challenges, such as border closures, hinder effective trade relations. The article argues that addressing these issues is essential to fostering economic interdependence and mutual benefit, which are key to sustaining peace and coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians.


Spoiling The Surprise: Constraints Facing Random Regulatory Inspections In Japan And The United States, Andrew Chin Jan 1999

Spoiling The Surprise: Constraints Facing Random Regulatory Inspections In Japan And The United States, Andrew Chin

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

This Article is organized as follows. Part I presents a rational actor model of legal compliance under an enforcement regime based on random inspections and identifies two classes of reforms that can be applied in combination to improve aggregate compliance. Part II introduces the problem of corrupt tip-offs into the model and argues that exogenous reforms are necessary to combat corruption. Part III surveys the use of random administrative inspections in the United States, reviews the approaches taken by four such programs to improve compliance and fight corruption, and describes the various constraints under which they must operate. Part IV …
