Super Regulator: A Comparative Analysis Of Securities And Derivatives Regulation In The United States, The United Kingdom, And Japan, Jerry W. Markham
Super Regulator: A Comparative Analysis Of Securities And Derivatives Regulation In The United States, The United Kingdom, And Japan, Jerry W. Markham
Faculty Publications
This article describes the development of the competing regulatory bodies for banking, insurance, securities and derivatives. It then focuses on the regulatory roles of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"). The competition between those two agencies and its effects are described. After that review, the article examines the roles of the FSA-GB and FSA-Japan. Finally, the article discusses the arguments favoring and disfavoring competitive regulation and tries to discern whether a unified regulatory structure such as that in Japan and England is preferable to the competitive approach of the SEC and CFTC.

Chinese Mortgage Law: An American Perspective, Dale A. Whitman
Chinese Mortgage Law: An American Perspective, Dale A. Whitman
Faculty Publications
My objective in this paper is to compare and to evaluate some of the features of the American and Chinese systems. I do so without any preconception that the American system provides better answers, but with the recognition that it is far more mature and provides more answers. Hence it provides a reference point from which the Chinese system can be considered. Perhaps each system has something to teach the other.

Law And Religion In Israel And Iran: How The Integration Of Secular And Spiritual Laws Affects Human Rights And The Potential For Violence, S. I. Strong
Faculty Publications
The first area of discussion is the structure of each government system. This analysis not only sets the legal framework for later analysis, but demonstrates how both Israel and Iran have brought religion into the very fabric of their legal institutions.The second area of analysis in Part II focuses on the principles of sovereignty and constitutional interpretation utilized by each State. Familiarity with these concepts is necessary in order to learn which religious principles, if any, are incorporated into each nation's general legal environment. These principles, which are implicitly understood by members of the society, are often unstated in judicial …

Residential Zoning Regulations And The Perpetuation Of Apartheid, Janai S. Nelson
Residential Zoning Regulations And The Perpetuation Of Apartheid, Janai S. Nelson
Faculty Publications
In January of 1996, the South African Parliament ratified the long-awaited Land Reform (Labour Tenants) Bill, which has engendered heated controversy since its inception. For many, the success of the Land Reform Bill portends the economic and political future of South Africa and is a gauge of apartheid's vital signs. Without land, most South Africans would remain in the same impoverished and disenfranchised conditions that they were in under the apartheid regime. With land, however, South Africans have an improved chance to achieve economic equality. Land reform and land use have become particularly crucial issues in light of President Mandela's …

Faculty Publications
This paper examines the legal foundations of large-value credit transfer systems and the importance of certainty, efficiency, and fairness in funds transfer law. A case study is presented to highlight key terminology and concepts. Thereafter, five particularly noteworthy legal rules are discussed in the context of the case study: (1) a rule defining the scope of the law; (2) a rule establishing when the rights and obligations of parties to a funds transfer are triggered; (3) a receiver finality rule; (4) a rule assigning liability for interloper fraud; and (5) a money-back guarantee rule, coupled with provisions on discharge. Finally, …

Tragedy, Irony, And Protectionism After Bcci: A Three-Act Play Starring Maharajah Bank, Raj Bhala
Faculty Publications
Post-BCCI legal developments regarding the regulation of foreign banks raise serious concerns of protectionism. The Foreign Bank Supervision Enhancement Act of 1991 and revisions to Federal Reserve Regulation K impose significant new legal burdens on foreign banks seeking to establish a physical presence in the U.S. The new legal regime reflects a tragic sacrifice of the principle of free trade in banking services in order to placate a fear of "bad" foreign banks. Ironically, the sacrifice of this principle by Congress and the Federal Reserve is incongruous with efforts of the United States Trade Representative (USTR). The USTR has negotiated …
