Developing A "Transnational" Law For International Sales: The Vienna Convention's Treatment Of Trade Usages, Ainhoa Veiga-Torregrosa

LLM Theses and Essays

The 1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG or Vienna Convention), conceived for worldwide acceptance, sets forth a uniform set of rules aimed at regulating some of the issues that, in an international sales contract, are likely to arise between the parties to such international transaction. The extent to which the substantive solutions that the Vienna Convention provides with the aim of filling in gaps within international sales contracts, are to achieve the standing of a predictable, global, and uniform legal background for these contracts, is the question to be treated in this paper …

The purpose of this thesis is to make an argument that Indonesian franchises need protection and that it is time now for the legislative body in Indonesia to enact a franchise law. The study …

Internationalization Of Revised Ucc Article 5--Letters Of Credit, James G. Barnes

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

The 1995 revision of Article 5 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) was heavily influenced by international practice as reflected in the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (UCP). The Reporter for Revised UCC Article 5, Professor James J. White," acknowledges the heavy influence of international practice, views it as a mixed blessing, and attributes it to the focused efforts of the letter of credit bankers' trade association, the United States Council on Inter- national Banking, Inc. (USCIB). This article further explains and welcomes the internationalization of Revised UCC Article 5.

A Rejoinder, Jonathan R. Macey

Cardozo Law Review

In a rare moment of self-restraint, I resolved not to bother to write a comment to David Ratner's spirited but unconvincing reply to my earlier article in the Cardozo Law Review. Since Ratner's response contained no defense whatsoever of the work of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), no criticism whatsoever of my general theory of agency obsolescence, and no theory of its own to defend the SEC, it seemed to me at first that the best course of action was to allow Ratner's reply to serve as its own refutation.

The General Agreement: From Tariffs And Trade To Sustainable Development, Mark Anthony Drumbl

Scholarly Articles

In order to deal adequately with the immense environmental problems we face, it is not sufficient to clean up past mistakes. We must also restructure traditional trade practices to curtail future environmental harms. This article is an attempt to offer ideas as to how such a restructuring could take place.

Environmental degradation is increasingly becoming an issue of global security. Water depletion, air pollution, deforestation, soil erosion, and the possibility of rising sea levels in overcrowded regions are all phenomena that may prompt mass migrations. This, in turn, might incite group conflicts. In this regard, environmentally related issues could constitute …

Gone are the days of simple sales contracts. Today's corporate lawyers must have not only a substantial understanding of basic commercial law, but also of the related intellectual property law. Because of the shrinking global economy, such knowledge must rise to an international level.

The Relevant Market In European Merger Law, Benedicte Haubold

LLM Theses and Essays

Due to the rapid acceleration of merger movements in the 1980s, the adoption of new merger regulation was a must for the European market. Before the new merger regulation was adopted in 1989, the European Commission used to apply the general competition rules of the Rome Treaty when dealing with mergers. The Commission used to interpret Articles 85 and 86 of the Rome Treaty as a means to condemn mergers that would lead to an abuse of a dominant position at a European level; at that time, there was an absence of complete and systematic control as far as structural …
