Constitutional Heterarchy: The Centrality Of Conflict In The European Union And The United States, Daniel Halberstam
Constitutional Heterarchy: The Centrality Of Conflict In The European Union And The United States, Daniel Halberstam
Book Chapters
In the debates about whether to take constitutionalism beyond the state, the European Union invariably looms large. One element, in particular, that invites scholars to grapple with the analogy between the European Union and global governance is the idea of legal pluralism. Just as the European legal order is based on competing claims of ultimate legal authority among the European Union and its member states, so, too, the global legal order, to the extent that we can speak of one, lacks a singular, uncontested hierarchy among its various parts. To be sure, some have argued that the UN Charter provides …

American Influence On Israeli Law: Freedom Of Expression, Pnina Lahav
American Influence On Israeli Law: Freedom Of Expression, Pnina Lahav
Faculty Scholarship
This chapter provides a historical overview of the American influence on Israel’s jurisprudence of freedom of expression from the 1950s to the first decade of the twenty first century. The chapter uses the format of decades, presenting representative cases for each decade, to record the process by which Israeli judges incorporated and sometimes rejected themes from the U.S. jurisprudence of freedom of expression. In the course of discussing the jurisprudential themes the chapter also highlights the historical context in which the cases were decided, from the war in Korea and McCarthyism in the 1950s, to the process of globalization which …
Separation Of Religion And State In Japan: A Pragmatic Interpretation Of Articles 20 And 89 Of The Japanese Constitution, Andrew B. Van Winkle
Separation Of Religion And State In Japan: A Pragmatic Interpretation Of Articles 20 And 89 Of The Japanese Constitution, Andrew B. Van Winkle
Washington International Law Journal
Article 20 of Japan’s Constitution establishes freedom of religion. To protect this freedom, the provisions of Articles 20 and 89 separate religion from the state to prevent the return of State Shintō. Despite this separation, the Japanese Supreme Court has consistently upheld instances where state entities interact with religious groups. These decisions have raised the ire of numerous academics and legal professionals in and out of Japan who believe that Japan’s constitutional separation requires absolute separation, or at least something more stringent than the Supreme Court has been willing to find. Although this comment rejects the approach taken by the …
A Battle Between Law And Society In Micronesia: An Example Of Originalism Gone Awry, Brian Z. Tamanaha
A Battle Between Law And Society In Micronesia: An Example Of Originalism Gone Awry, Brian Z. Tamanaha
Washington International Law Journal
Two conceptions of the relationship between law and society appear to compete: the idea that law mirrors society and the notion that a gap exists between law and society. Both ideas have some truth—law is an imperfect mirror of society. For various reasons, law and society can fall out of sync or even come into conflict. The 1975 Constitutional Convention, which led to the formation of the Federated States of Micronesia (“FSM”), marked the beginning of a battle between that society and its legal institutions. The Constitution’s framers strove to preserve traditional Micronesian culture by ensuring it a respected place …

Florida's First Constitution, M C. Mirow
Florida's First Constitution, M C. Mirow
Faculty Books
The central square of St. Augustine, Florida, the Plaza de la Constitución, is not named for the United States Constitution. Instead, its name comes from Florida’s first constitution, the Spanish Constitution of Cádiz of 1812. Daily political life in Florida’s Spanish colonial cities was governed by this document, and cities like St. Augustine ordered their activities around the requirements, rights, and duties expressed in this constitution. The Constitution of Cádiz was the first truly transatlantic constitution because it applied to the entire Spanish empire, of which St. Augustine and Pensacola were just a part. It was drafted by representatives from …
The Reality Of Social Rights Enforcement, David Landau
The Reality Of Social Rights Enforcement, David Landau
Scholarly Publications
Despite the lack of socio-economic rights in the U.S. Constitution and the absence of political will to enforce them, the vast majority of constitutions around the world now include these rights, and courts are enforcing them in increasingly aggressive and creative ways. Scholars have produced a large and theoretically rich literature on the topic. Virtually all of this literature assumes that social rights enforcement is about the advancement of impoverished, marginalized groups. Moreover, the consensus recommendation of that literature, according to scholars like Cass Sunstein and Mark Tushnet, is that courts can enforce socio-economic rights hut should do so in …

This version of a paper originally submitted to the International Association of Law Schools Conference on Comparative Constitutional Law in 2009, has been enriched by adding citations and references to relevant papers of other conference participants. The article includes a review of the literature on teaching comparative constitutional law, basic pedagogical theory, a bibliography, some practical advice and a set of four lessons on the themes of judicial review, transnational interpretation, affirmative action and reproductive rights, complete with discussion …
Constructing The Other: U.S. Muslims, Anti-Sharia Law, And The Constitutional Consequences Of Volatile Intercultural Rhetoric, Carlo A. Pedrioli
Constructing The Other: U.S. Muslims, Anti-Sharia Law, And The Constitutional Consequences Of Volatile Intercultural Rhetoric, Carlo A. Pedrioli
Faculty Scholarship
Recently, legislators have proposed, discussed, and passed various laws that aimed to limit the use of foreign law, international law, and Sharia (a branch of Islamic law) in state court systems. Because it became law, one proposed state constitutional amendment that rhetorically linked Sharia to foreign and international law is of particular note. In the 2010 midterm elections, Oklahoma passed State Question 755 (SQ 755), a constitutional amendment that aimed to place restrictions on the use of foreign law, international law, and Sharia in Oklahoma courts. Laws like Oklahoma’s State Question 755 are problematic for a variety of reasons. One …
Local, Global And Plural Constitutionalism: Europe Meets The World., Daniel Halberstam
Local, Global And Plural Constitutionalism: Europe Meets The World., Daniel Halberstam
Book Chapters
The idea that constitutionalism is central to the legitimate exercise of public power has dominated the modern liberal imagination since the Enlightenment. The ideal of limited collective self-governance has spawned a rich and highly diverse tradition of hard-fought national constitutions from the time of the Glorious Revolution into the present. Today, however, constitutionalism faces its greatest challenge yet: the question of its continued relevance to modern governance. With the explosion of governance beyond the state, many wonder whether constitutionalism as we know it is being marginalized or altogether undermined.

American School Finance Litigation And The Right To Education In South Africa, Scott R. Bauries
American School Finance Litigation And The Right To Education In South Africa, Scott R. Bauries
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
This paper addresses the South African Constitution's invitation to the Constitutional Court to 'consider foreign law' when interpreting its provisions. Focusing on the education provisions found in section 29 of the Constitution, I make two claims. Firstly, contrary to the developing consensus, American state supreme court jurisprudence in school funding cases makes a poor resource to aid the interpretation of the basic South African right to education, regardless of the quantum of education that the Constitutional Court decides is encompassed by the word 'basic'. Secondly, however, certain aspects of these same American decisions, particularly the space they provide for a …

Part II will briefly explain and outline Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and the methods through which successful resolution to disputes are achieved, specifically noting that in the last decade, cultural property disputes have been increasingly resolved through ADR. Part III will compare the agreements reached in both instances, proposing several reasons why these agreements worked …
Changing Burma From Without: Political Activism Among The Burmese Diaspora, David C. Williams
Changing Burma From Without: Political Activism Among The Burmese Diaspora, David C. Williams
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
This Article examines the role that the Burmese diaspora plays from afar in influencing reform inside the country. It offers a brief history of the crisis in Burma as background for identifying the various elements of the diaspora: those on the run from the military; those in camps for internally displaced persons and refugees; migrant workers; leaders of the democracy movement active on Burma's borders; asylees; and professional activists with influence on the international community. The different groups use the different strategies available to them. The leadership on the borders is helping to lead the democracy movement inside the country; …
The Secular And Religious Legal Framework Of Afghanistan As Compared To Western Notions Of Equal Protection And Human Rights Treaties: Is Afghanistan's Legal Code Facially Consistent With Sex Equality?, Laura Belkner
Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law
The note examines Afghanistan's legal framework, arguing that while it is facially consistent with sex equality as per the Afghan Constitution and international treaties, the practical implementation is hindered by cultural and traditional practices. This discrepancy highlights the gap between legal provisions and real-world application.
Crosses And Culture: State-Sponsored Religious Displays In The Us And Europe, Mark L. Movsesian
Crosses And Culture: State-Sponsored Religious Displays In The Us And Europe, Mark L. Movsesian
Faculty Publications
This article compares the recent jurisprudence of the US Supreme Court and the European Court of Human Rights on the question of state-sponsored religious displays. Both tribunals insist that states have a duty of religious “neutrality,” but each defines that term differently. For the Supreme Court, neutrality means that government may not proselytize, even indirectly, or appear to favor a particular church; neutrality may even mean that government must not endorse religion generally. For the ECtHR, by contrast, neutrality means only that government must avoid active religious indoctrination; the ECtHR allows government to give “preponderant visibility” to the symbols of …
Chinese Use Of Administrative Proceedings To Enforce Intellectual Property Rights: Evaluating And Improving Adr In China, Simeng Han
Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution
Since its entry into the World Trade Organization ("WTO") in 2001, China has significantly reformed its legal system in order to enforce its commitment to protecting Intellectual Property ("IP"). Yet, there remains a lingering suspicion of the actual level of Chinese commitment-as indicated by continuous infringement claims from nations such as the United States. With an increasing number of disputes loading the court dockets and putting pressure on judges, and given China's "deep-rooted historical preference for informal and non-adversarial means of dispute resolution," there is enormous potential for further development of ADR in this field. Indeed, the culturally preferable way …

Assessing The Impeachment Of President Bill Clinton From A Post 9/11 Perspective, Susan Low Bloch
Assessing The Impeachment Of President Bill Clinton From A Post 9/11 Perspective, Susan Low Bloch
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
The impeachment of President Clinton was more a circus than a serious effort to remove the President of the United States. The reason is simple: Few people--in the Congress or the country--wanted to remove him or believed the impeachment effort would actually result in his removal. Instead, it was a partisan political effort to embarrass Clinton and "send a message" of disapproval. Congress was attaching a "scarlet letter." But this was an indulgence that posed considerable danger that few in Congress considered. In particular, few tried to assess the potential impact this use of the process would have on the …
Health Care And The Illegal Immigrant, Patrick J. Glen
Health Care And The Illegal Immigrant, Patrick J. Glen
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
The question of whether illegal immigrants should be entitled to some form of health coverage in the United States sits at the uneasy intersection of two contentious debates: health reform and immigration reform. Befitting this place, the rhetoric surrounding the issue has been exponentially heightened by the multiplying effects of combining two vitriolic debates. On one side, it is argued that the United States has a moral obligation to provide health care to all those within its borders needing such assistance. On the other, it is argued with equal force that those illegally present in this country should not be …
Freedom Of Expression And Its Competitors, George C. Christie
Freedom Of Expression And Its Competitors, George C. Christie
Faculty Scholarship
The recognition of an increasing number of basic human rights, such as in the European Convention on Human Rights, has had the paradoxical effect of requiring courts in the common-law world to consider whether the extensive protection given by the common law to expression that was not false or misleading must be modified to accommodate these newly recognized basic rights. The most important of these newly recognized rights is the right of privacy, although expression has other competitors as well, such as what might be called a right to be spared the emotional trauma caused by abusive language. This article …
Libya: A Multilateral Constitutional Moment?, Catherine Powell
Libya: A Multilateral Constitutional Moment?, Catherine Powell
Faculty Scholarship
The Libya intervention of 2011 marked the first time that the UN Security Council invoked the “responsibility to protect” principle (RtoP) to authorize use of force by UN member states. In this comment the author argues that the Security Council’s invocation of RtoP in the midst of the Libyan crisis significantly deepens the broader, ongoing transformation in the international law system’s approach to sovereignty and civilian protection. This transformation away from the traditional Westphalian notion of sovereignty has been unfolding for decades, but the Libyan case represents a further normative shift from sovereignty as a right to sovereignty as a …

The Limits Of Global Judicial Dialogue, David S. Law, Wen-Chen Chang
The Limits Of Global Judicial Dialogue, David S. Law, Wen-Chen Chang
Washington Law Review
The notion that “global judicial dialogue” is contributing to the globalization of constitutional law has attracted considerable attention. Various scholars have characterized the citation of foreign law by constitutional courts as a form of “dialogue” that both reflects and fosters the emergence of a common global enterprise of constitutional adjudication. It has also been claimed that increasing direct interaction between judges, face-to-face or otherwise, fuels the growth of a global constitutional jurisprudence. This Article challenges these claims on empirical grounds and offers an alternative account of the actual reasons for which constitutional courts engage in comparative analysis. First, it is …
Litigating Against An Epidemic: Hiv/Aids And The Promise Of Socioeconomic Rights In South Africa, Nathaniel Bruhn
Litigating Against An Epidemic: Hiv/Aids And The Promise Of Socioeconomic Rights In South Africa, Nathaniel Bruhn
Michigan Journal of Race and Law
With one of the highest incidence rates in the world, the HIV/AIDS epidemic has taken a large toll on South Africa. Despite medical advances that have made the disease more manageable, many South Africans still do not have access to the medicines needed to control the disease. At the same time, the Constitution of South Africa grants individuals far-reaching socioeconomic rights, including the right to access health care. This Comment explores the intersection of the socioeconomic rights and the HIV/AIDS crisis. Although the Constitutional Court has developed a deferential approach to enforcing socioeconomic rights, substantial room remains to litigate on …
