International law teaching combines the worst aspects of sex and the weather. Everyone thinks they are an expert; they complain about problems but do nothing to improve the situation.

Rape And The Querela In Italy: False Protection Of Victim Agency, Rachel A. Van Cleave
Rape And The Querela In Italy: False Protection Of Victim Agency, Rachel A. Van Cleave
Michigan Journal of Gender & Law
This Essay describes the history of the querela in Italy and explores the controversy surrounding the decision to maintain this institution. In addition, this Essay questions the degree to which the querela can protect victim agency when the attitudes of judges and lawyers in the Italian criminal justice system reflect persistent rape myths.
Perverse Main Bank Rescue In The Lost Decade: Proof That Unique Institutional Incentives Drive Japanese Corporate Governance, Dan W. Puchniak
Perverse Main Bank Rescue In The Lost Decade: Proof That Unique Institutional Incentives Drive Japanese Corporate Governance, Dan W. Puchniak
Washington International Law Journal
Two of the most prominent Japanese corporate governance scholars, Professors Miwa and Ramseyer (“M&R”), have recently published numerous articles and a book setting out their contrarian free-market theory of Japanese corporate governance. According to their theory, contemporary Japanese corporate governance is, and always has been, driven by free-market forces and not government incentives. M&R’s theory is enchanting in its simplicity and universality, as it uses standard economic theory to provide a single, and seemingly logical, solution to a myriad of complex legal, institutional, historical and cultural conundrums that have challenged observers of Japanese corporate governance for decades. Unfortunately, M&R’s theory …

Introduction To The New Company Law Of The People's Republic Of China, Steven M. Dickinson
Washington International Law Journal
This article briefly analyzes the new Company Law and its effects on doing business in China. After a brief history of the previous version of the law, this article examines the many changes to management and articles of association, capital requirements, limited liability companies, access to corporate information, piercing the corporate veil, third party loans, and legal remedies for improper actions. It goes on to look at the impact on the structure of foreign investments and discusses the likely effects of the new law in actual practice.
Judgment On Unfair Competition Dispute Between Baidu Online Network Technology (Beijing) Ltd. Co. And Beijing 3721 Technology Ltd. Co., Pengyue Li
Washington International Law Journal
On October 20, 2003, Baidu Online Network Technology (Beijing) Ltd., Co. (“Baidu”), a Nasdaq-listed company known as the “Google of China,” filed a suit against its competitor Beijing 3721 Technology Ltd. Co. (“3721”) in Beijing Chaoyang District Court for copyright infringement and unfair competition. The case is regarded as China’s first copyright-infringement dispute involving website search-engine technology. Legal experts, the Chinese media, and the Supreme Court of China have paid close attention to the case, especially as it is related to China’s ongoing legislative effort to improve protection of intellectual property. The translation below is the appellate opinion in this …
Controlling Business Method Patents: How The Japanese Standard For Patenting Software Could Bring Reasonable Limitations To Business Method Patents In The United States, James S. Sfekas
Washington International Law Journal
In recent years, the United States has expanded the scope of subject matter that can be patented. The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has evolved a standard that allows inventors to patent software as long as it produces a useful and tangible result. Japan has also expanded the scope of patentable subject matter, but in a more limited fashion. Under the Japanese standard, the Japan Patent Office will only grant a patent to software inventions that apply a law of nature. The U.S. standard is too generous in allowing patents on software and business methods. Business method patents, …
Establishing Secondary Liability With A Higher Degree Of Culpability: Redefining Chinese Internet Copyright Law To Encourage Technology Development, Yiman Zhang
Washington International Law Journal
While enjoying the tremendous economic benefit brought by the Internet to the nation, China has been attempting to update its intellectual property law to address online copyright infringement issues. The current legal framework, which premises copyright liability upon a direct infringement and joint liability theory, unfortunately has produced considerable ambiguity both within the judiciary and the affected industries. As shown in recent cases, the theory of joint liability, in addition to the broad scope of Chinese copyright law, has been particularly troublesome for China’s technology industry. Given China’s priority in technology innovation, its current copyright law has too low a …
Customary International Humanitarian Law And Multinational Military Operations In Malaysia, Drew R. Atkins
Customary International Humanitarian Law And Multinational Military Operations In Malaysia, Drew R. Atkins
Washington International Law Journal
The International Committee of the Red Cross published a study in 2005 identifying rules of customary international law applicable to armed conflict and theoretically binding on all nations. This study found that customary state practice has come to encompass and in some cases exceed protections contained in the Additional Protocols of 1977 to the Geneva Conventions of 1949, regardless of their applicability to a given conflict. These findings may impact the domestic law enforcement practices of states not parties to Additional Protocol II, which regulates non-international armed conflict. Furthermore, the study may have indirect effects on military cooperation and legal …

The Marriage Amendment Act: Can Australia Prohibit Same-Sex Marriage?, Katy A. King
The Marriage Amendment Act: Can Australia Prohibit Same-Sex Marriage?, Katy A. King
Washington International Law Journal
Both the United States and Australia have federal legislation, the Defense of Marriage Act and the Marriage Amendment Act 2004, that defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman. Australia has an express provision in its constitution granting Parliament the authority to pass laws on the subject of marriage. The United States, however, has no such constitutional provision. Consequently, Australia’s express constitutional provision may lead the High Court of Australia to rule that the Marriage Amendment Act 2004 is constitutional, which would likely preclude Australia’s states and territories from passing local same-sex marriage acts. This is fundamentally …

Remarks On Customary International Law And The Use Of Force Against Terrorists And Rogue State Collaborators, Vincent J. Vitkowsky

SYNoPsiS: State practice and patterns of cooperation over the last forty-five years have led to the development of rules of customary international law governing the use of force, in anticipatory self-defense, against terrorists and rogue state collaborators.
Contractual Expansion Of The Scope Of Patent Infringement Through Field-Of-Use Licensing, Mark R. Patterson
Contractual Expansion Of The Scope Of Patent Infringement Through Field-Of-Use Licensing, Mark R. Patterson
Faculty Scholarship
Patentees sometimes license their inventions through field-of-use licenses, which permit licensees to use the inventions, but only in specified ways. Field-of-use licensing is often procompetitive, because the ability to provide different licensing terms for different users can encourage broader licensing of inventions. But in recent United States cases, the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals and lower courts have upheld field-of-use licenses prohibiting activities that licensees would otherwise have been permitted by patent law, such as the repair and resale of patented products. The recent cases rely on the Federal Circuit's decision in Mallinckrodt, Inc. v. Medipart, Inc., where the court …
Review Of Napoleon And The British, Donald J. Herzog
Review Of Napoleon And The British, Donald J. Herzog
Reviews
Was he fascinating or repulsive? The bold courier of republican liberty under law or the scabrous carrier of lethal Jacobin corruption? Heaven-sent deliverer or providential scourge? Even his name was up for grabs: was it Bonaparte or Buonaparte? One need only dip into contemporary sources to realize that the British were obsessed with Napoleon. Stuart Semmel has done a first-rate job combing through those sources and using them to illuminate political culture. (Semmel does not offer the primary quotations I will use here. I offer them for fun, or to pile on with glee, and not at all to reproach …
Gitano Legal Codes: Social Change, Ngo's, And External Legal Systems' Influence On Governance Of Spanish Roma Communities, Jennifer Hu Corriggio
Gitano Legal Codes: Social Change, Ngo's, And External Legal Systems' Influence On Governance Of Spanish Roma Communities, Jennifer Hu Corriggio
Michigan Journal of Race and Law
Gitanos are the Roma, otherwise known as Gypsies, of Spain that are predominantly concentrated in the southern province of Andaluda. Although the Roma are Europe's largest transnational minority, very little efforts have been made to understand their legal systems. Additionally, due to their long histories of oppression in Europe and internal legal codes that discourage sharing details of their legal systems with outsiders, their legal systems are particularly difficult to understand and for the most part, remain enigmatic and misunderstood. This Article analyzes the historical factors affecting the development of the Gitano legal system by using a horizontal axis metaphor, …
Impediments To Financial Development In The Banking Sector: A Comparison Of The Impact Of Federalism In The United States And Germany, Khalil Nicholas Maalouf
Impediments To Financial Development In The Banking Sector: A Comparison Of The Impact Of Federalism In The United States And Germany, Khalil Nicholas Maalouf
Michigan Journal of International Law
This Note examines how differences in U.S. and German variants of federalism have contributed to the formation and development of the dual banking system in the United States and the three-pillar banking system in Germany. Specifically, this Note considers the manner in which federalism has informed the respective banking systems' reactions to dynamic changes in the global banking industry and analyzes the role federalism has played in contributing to or impeding reform efforts in the United States and Germany.
Contagious Efficiency: The Growing Reliance On U.S.-Style Antitrust Settlements In Eu Law, George S. Georgiev
Contagious Efficiency: The Growing Reliance On U.S.-Style Antitrust Settlements In Eu Law, George S. Georgiev
Articles
This Article analyzes the impact of the introduction of U.S.-style antitrust settlement procedures in EU law, which occurred in 2004 as part of an ambitious antitrust modernisation program. After documenting the lack of a settlement tradition in the EU legal system or the legal systems of EU member states, I argue that the new procedures were transplanted from U.S. law and that this was done without sufficient tailoring. Relying on lessons from the longstanding U.S. experience with antitrust settlements and on emerging evidence about the EU's own approach since 2004, I analyze the effects from the introduction of settlements at …
The Foreign Source Doctrine: Explaining The Role Of Foreign And International Law In Interpreting The Constitution, Timothy K. Kuhner
The Foreign Source Doctrine: Explaining The Role Of Foreign And International Law In Interpreting The Constitution, Timothy K. Kuhner
Faculty Publications By Year
This article brings much-needed precision to the debate over the Supreme Court's use of foreign and international law to interpret the Constitution. The debate has been both imprecise, ignoring the subtleties of the phenomenon at issue, and prematurely abstract, jumping to theoretical and ideological levels without first looking to establish the specifics. By focusing on the particular areas of constitutional text subjected to foreign sources and the longstanding lines of caselaw upon which the use of foreign sources builds, this article reveals that a doctrine has crystallized around the use of foreign sources. The doctrine specifies the precise uses to …
Federalism And The Commerce Clause: A Comparative Perspective, Reuven S. Avi-Yonah
Federalism And The Commerce Clause: A Comparative Perspective, Reuven S. Avi-Yonah
Articles
The U.S. Supreme Court has on numerous occasions addressed the constitutionality of state taxes under the U.S. Constitution (most often under the Commerce Clause, but sometimes under the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses). In general, the Supreme Court has granted wide leeway to the states to adopt any tax system they wish, only striking down the most egregious cases of discrimination against out-of-state residents. Thus, for example, the Court has generally refused to intervene against state tax competition to attract business into the state. It has twice upheld a method of calculating how much income of a multinational enterprise …

The Many Uses Of Federalism, Donald L. Horowitz
The Many Uses Of Federalism, Donald L. Horowitz
Faculty Scholarship
This paper forms part of a symposium on Sanford Levinson's Our Undemocratic Constitution. It points out that although almost no large state that is governed democratically is not a federation, there are only about 24 federations in the world and all but four of these antedate the Third Wave of Democratization, which began in 1974. Most new democracies have not found federalism attractive. Yet, for many such countries, devolution (or scaling-down) federalism, in contrast to the scaling-up federalism originally devised in 1787, has great potential to alleviate conflicts in severely divided societies. Many of these are small or medium-sized states. …

UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship
The CISG has been described as one of history 's most successful attempts to harmonize international commercial law. Consistent with its goal of harmonizing the law of international sales, Article 7(1) of the CISG instructs courts and arbitrators to interpret the Convention in light of "its international character and the need to promote uniformity in its application. " MCC-Marble v. Ceramica Nuova D'Agostina is a U.S. decision that has been praised for its adherence to Article 7(1). In contrast with conventional academic commentary, which praises MCC-Marble and criticizes the tendency of courts to interpret the CISG in light of their …

UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship
Even though creativity lies at the heart of present copyright laws, the impulse to create-or more precisely what triggers such creativity-remains largely unexamined. Coinciding with the digital demand for access to information, new standards for "cash 'n' carry" creativity are being urged with little regard to what level of authorial3 control may be required to ensure continued enrichment of the public domain through the creation of vibrant new works. Scientific, psychological, and sociological studies indicate that "cash 'n' carry" creativity fails to implement the critical triggering mechanisms for the creative impulse. Moreover, such "cash 'n' carry" attitudes toward authors' rights …
Corporate Restrictions In Mexico And The United States, Dennis Rios
Corporate Restrictions In Mexico And The United States, Dennis Rios
LLM Theses and Essays
Mexico and the United States have had throughout their history very different experiences in their international relations and thus different approaches towards foreign investment. Both Mexican and American corporations looking to invest in each others countries have to face several restrictions in their attempt to conduct business. These restrictions are constantly changing as the needs and circumstances in each country change. The United States throughout most of its history has had for the most part, a very open policy towards foreign investment. Mexico has been throughout most of its history, on the other side, adopting very restrictive measures towards foreign …
