Combatting The Opposition: English And United States Restrictions On The Public Right Of Access To Governmental Information, Patti Goldman
Combatting The Opposition: English And United States Restrictions On The Public Right Of Access To Governmental Information, Patti Goldman
UC Law SF International Law Review
Throughout Anglo-American history those in government have sought to silence opposition. Public discussion and dissent, however, are essential during national crises, such as military engagements or attempted expansions of governmental powers. Ironically, when public scrutiny is most needed, governments restrict the public access to information and the right to criticize governmental activities. This Article analyzes the English and United States governments' attempts to limit public access to information. Both systems recognize legitimate limitations on the right of access only when necessary to protect sensitive governmental functions. In England, however, the restriction is broader. Public access can be limited to protect …
Foreign Investment Law: Encouragement Versus Restraint--Mexico, Cuba, And The Caribbean Basin Initiative, Sula Fiszman
Foreign Investment Law: Encouragement Versus Restraint--Mexico, Cuba, And The Caribbean Basin Initiative, Sula Fiszman
UC Law SF International Law Review
Third World nations have been attempting to balance foreign investment needs with the desire to both control economic development and retain the benefits of this development within their borders. Mexico and Cuba have recently enacted or revised their foreign investment laws. The Article examines these laws in detail and determines what balance these nations have struck between development and control and what compromises have been made. The Article then examines the Caribbean Basin Initiative to see what balance the United States, a capital exporter, finds optimal and to examine how the United States trade and investment laws differ both legally …

Extraterritorial Discovery: Extension Of Jurisdiction By The Eleventh Circuit, Geoffrey Spellberg
Extraterritorial Discovery: Extension Of Jurisdiction By The Eleventh Circuit, Geoffrey Spellberg
UC Law SF International Law Review
A problem which frequently arises in connection with international litigation concerns the assertion of jurisdiction by a court over a person, or res located in a foreign state. Extension of jurisdiction by United States courts to foreign enterprises has typically been manifested by discovery orders compelling document production. Foreign states have attempted to block this extension of jurisdiction by enacting nondisclosure statutes which subject violators to criminal liability for compliance with United States discovery orders. This Note examines the analysis developed by United States courts to determine the propriety of enforcing discovery orders that may subject a party to liability …

Foreign Certificates Of Deposit: Securities Or Banking Transactions After Wolf V. Banco Nacional De Mexico, S.A., Dana W. Fox
UC Law SF International Law Review
A certificate of deposit has features which invite its characterization' as both a commercial banking and an investment banking instrument. This dual characterization raises a question as to whether the federal banking or securities laws properly apply to regulate the issue of such certificates. This Note reviews the implications of extending the coverage of the federal securities laws to the issuance of a certificate of deposit by a foreign bank to a United States citizen. The discussion centers upon Wof v. Banco Nacional de Mexico, A.,4. and incorporates the recent result in that case, analyzing its likely effect upon the …

Attorney-Client Privilege In The European Communities After A.M. & S. V. Commission: The Secret Is Out, Jeffrey Taylor Makoff
Attorney-Client Privilege In The European Communities After A.M. & S. V. Commission: The Secret Is Out, Jeffrey Taylor Makoff
UC Law SF International Law Review
In a 1982 case the Court of Justice of the European Communities recognized the existence of an attorney-client privilege in European Community law. The privilege recognized by the Court of Justice, however, is narrower in scope than its United States counterpart; and the 1982 case left unanswered many important questions concerning the privilege's practical application in future cases. This Note examines the evolving doctrine of attorney-client privilege in Community law, with special attention given to the privilege's effect upon United States attorneys and their clients who are subject to Community jurisdiction.

Antitrust Law And Economic Analysis: The Swedish Approach, David J. Gerber
Antitrust Law And Economic Analysis: The Swedish Approach, David J. Gerber
UC Law SF International Law Review
Antitrust regimes are mixtures of law, economics and administrative action instituted to protect complex economic processes. Currently in the United States there is widespread confusion and doubt about the goals, values, structures and processes of antitrust law. This Article presents a comparative study of United States and Swedish antitrust law in an attempt to shed some light on the current confusion. Sweden offers a valuable comparison because it utilizes its antitrust law to achieve the same basic goals that are pursued under United States antitrust law, but it does so in a significantly different manner. Swedish antitrust law, in contrast …
Unifying The Law Of Impossibility, J. Barrigan Marcantonio
Unifying The Law Of Impossibility, J. Barrigan Marcantonio
UC Law SF International Law Review
On April 10, 1980, the United Nations Convention for the International Sale of Goods was announced. The Convention was the latest in a series of attempts to formulate a uniform law to govern transnational commercial transactions. Because the common- and civil-law systems start with fundamentally different approaches to contracts, the drafters of the Convention were faced with the difficult task of compromising between the two systems to create a hybrid acceptable to both. This Article focuses on the doctrine of impossibility where, on the surface at least, the common- and civil-law (exemplified by German law) approaches appear to be fundamentally …

Worker Participation: Industrial Democracy And Managerial Prerogative In The Federal Republic Of Germany, Sweden And The United States, Laurence S. Zakson
UC Law SF International Law Review
Section 8(a)(5) of the National Labor Relations Act establishes a mandatory duty for statutory employers and collective bargaining agents of their employees to bargain with each other in good faith with respect to "wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment." In a recent decision, First National Maintenance Corp. v. NLRB, the United States Supreme Court narrowly circumscribed the scope of this duty, effectively removing from the collective bargaining arena many decisions significantly affecting workers (e.g., plant closings and "job security"). This Note examines the underlying policies and the actual statutory and case-law applications of worker participation mechanisms in …

Policy-Oriented World Power Process, Julius Stone
Policy-Oriented World Power Process, Julius Stone
UC Law SF International Law Review
This material is a reprint of Chapter 4 of Professor Stone's latest book, Visions of World Order. Between State Power and Human Justice. In this book, Professor Stone analyzes the "factual substratum" out of which international law arises or ought to arise and how this factual substratum is relevant to discussions of international justice and international law itself. In the chapter reprinted here, Professor Stone discusses the work of Professor Myres McDougal. MeDougal, according to Stone, focuses on the policy-oriented approach of national decision-makers participating in the "World Power Process." Because the policy ostensibly being pursued is the furthering of …
Tom Sawyer's Apology: A Reevaluation Of United States Pesticide Export Policy, Mark David Mcwilliams
Tom Sawyer's Apology: A Reevaluation Of United States Pesticide Export Policy, Mark David Mcwilliams
UC Law SF International Law Review
United States pesticide manufacturers are exporting increasingly large amounts of pesticides which are banned or restricted for use in the United States. The use of these pesticides presents dire health and environmental consequences in the developing countries which import the pesticides. Current United States policy dealing with the problems raised by pesticide export stresses notification of recipient countries when such pesticides are exported. This Note contends that the notification policy is fundamentally flawed in that developing countries cannot make use of the information provided by the notification process. The Note suggests that a new policy of direct regulation is needed …

Tax Evasion Through International Manipulation Of Foreign Exhange Profits, Carol A. Brittain
Tax Evasion Through International Manipulation Of Foreign Exhange Profits, Carol A. Brittain
UC Law SF International Law Review
By constructing a hypothetical situation in which a non- United States bank with branches in New York and the Bahamas might illegally shift foreign exchange profits from New York to the tax-haven Bahamas, this Note explores what action the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) could take in pursuing and recapturing lost tax revenue. It is proposed that the application of section 482 be used to reallocate from abroad United States source income of banks. Recent developments in this area should give the IRS reason to consider enlarging the uses of section 482.

Allowing Federal Courts Access To International Court Of Justice Advisory Opinions: Critique And Proposal, William T. Mclaughlin Ii
UC Law SF International Law Review
Supporters of the idea that the rule of law should govern the world community have generally been disappointed by the meager role the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has played in international affairs and in the development of international law. Most of the explanations for the ICJ's underuse point to a single factor: that the vast majority of nation states, including the United States, choose not to risk their interests to the judgment of an independent international tribunal. This Note first examines two suggested modifications of the ICJ as proposed by the United States Congress and the American Bar Association. …
Protection Of Constitutional Rights And Reform Of Nuclear Power Plant Licensing Procedures In West Germany: An Interim Assessment, Klaus Bosselmann
Protection Of Constitutional Rights And Reform Of Nuclear Power Plant Licensing Procedures In West Germany: An Interim Assessment, Klaus Bosselmann
UC Law SF International Law Review
This commentary by Dr. Bosselmarn originally appeared in Kritische Jirstiz in 1980. It is reproduced here with the author's permission in order to provide insight into this area of legal concern with respect to current debates in West Germany. This piece is especially timely in view of the Notes on licensing and decommissioning of nuclear power plants also published in this issue. Dr. Bosselmann's belief is that the nuclear licensing process in West Germany has not been concerned with the fundamental constitutional rights of the individual. Instead, nuclear licensing has evolved in the direction of procedural acceleration and simplification, and …

Artistic Freedom And Government Subsidy: Performing Arts Institutions In The United States And West Germany, Erik Stenberg
UC Law SF International Law Review
This Note examines the role of the government in securing and maintaining artistic freedom in the performing arts institutions of West Germany and of the United States. The primary basis for comparison is the ability of the artistic directors of performing arts institutions to program the works they desire. The author focuses on the various advantages and disadvantages of the direct subsidy approach implemented in West Germany as opposed to the emphasis on indirect government support found in the United States. Finally, the author concludes that direct and open government support of the performing arts, such as in West Germany, …
