Duress In Immigration Law, Elizabeth A. Keyes
Duress In Immigration Law, Elizabeth A. Keyes
Seattle University Law Review
The doctrine of duress is common to other bodies of law, but the application of the duress doctrine is both unclear and highly unstable in immigration law. Outside of immigration law, a person who commits a criminal act out of well-placed fear of terrible consequences is different than a person who willingly commits a crime, but American immigration law does not recognize this difference. The lack of clarity leads to certain absurd results and demands reimagining, redefinition, and an unequivocal statement of the significance of duress in ascertaining culpability. While there are inevitably some difficult lines to be drawn in …

Introduction: Situating, Researching, And Writing Comparative Legal History, John G. H. Hudson, William Eves
Introduction: Situating, Researching, And Writing Comparative Legal History, John G. H. Hudson, William Eves
Other Publications
This volume is a selection of essays taken from the excellent range of papers presented at the British Legal History Conference hosted by the Institute for Legal and Constitutional Research at the University of St Andrews, 10–13 July 2019. The theme of the conference gives this book its title: ‘comparative legal history’. The topic came easily to the organisers because of their association with the St Andrews-based European Research Council Advanced grant project ‘Civil law, common law, customary law: consonance, divergence and transformation in Western Europe from the late eleventh to the thirteenth centuries’. But the chosen topic was also …
Innovative Thinking: Modernizing Outer Space Governance, Diane M. Janosek
Innovative Thinking: Modernizing Outer Space Governance, Diane M. Janosek
Catholic University Journal of Law and Technology
Space security is essential to global safety and prosperity. International treaties should modernize and reflect the world’s innovation in space and governance needs. One must look back to 1967 for the inaugural “Outer Space Treaty,” the first and only binding multilateral agreement for peaceful space use and exploration. In 50 years, technologies and space capabilities have evolved; an updated global treaty and agreement should be developed and evaluated. Both China and Russia have demonstrated their capability to degrade and/or destroy adversaries’ satellites in space. Space wars are no longer a hypothetical. The future once discussed and anxiously anticipated after Sputnik …
Kings, Lords And Courts In Anglo-Norman England, Robert Hirshon
Kings, Lords And Courts In Anglo-Norman England, Robert Hirshon
Articles
This is an important book, filling a significant gap in scholarship on late Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Norman law, lordship, and administration. Its primary focus is on the hundred court and its relationship to lords’ local courts. Nicholas Karn argues (204) that, following the creation of shires and hundreds across England in the tenth century, by the middle of the eleventh “the unitary model of the hundred was starting to break down, and decay accelerated and became general into the twelfth century.” Lords either “claimed whole hundreds themselves, or they created lesser units which were originally subsets of hundreds and which were …
Legal Internalism In Modern Histories Of Copyright, Shyamkrishna Balganesh, Taisu Zhang
Legal Internalism In Modern Histories Of Copyright, Shyamkrishna Balganesh, Taisu Zhang
Faculty Scholarship
Legal internalism refers to the internal point of view that professional participants in a legal practice develop toward it. It represents a behavioral phenomenon wherein such participants treat the domain of law (or a subset of it) as normative, epistemologically self-contained, and logically coherent on its own terms regardless of whether the law actually embodies those characteristics. Thus understood, legal internalism remains an important characteristic of all modern legal systems. In this Review, we examine three recent interdisciplinary histories of copyright law to showcase the working of legal internalism. We argue that while their interdisciplinary emphasis adds to the conversation …
Automating Fairness? Artificial Intelligence In The Chinese Court, Rachel E. Stern, Benjamin L. Liebman, Margaret Roberts, Alice Z. Wang
Automating Fairness? Artificial Intelligence In The Chinese Court, Rachel E. Stern, Benjamin L. Liebman, Margaret Roberts, Alice Z. Wang
Faculty Scholarship
How will surging global interest in data analytics and artificial intelligence transform the day-to-day operations of courts, and what are the implications for judicial power? In the last five years, Chinese courts have come to lead the world in their efforts to deploy automated pattern analysis to monitor judges, standardize decision-making, and observe trends in society. This Article chronicles how and why Chinese courts came to embrace artificial intelligence, making public tens of millions of court judgments in the process. Although technology is certainly being used to strengthen social control and boost the legitimacy of the Chinese Communist Party, examining …
Anti-Modalities, David E. Pozen, Adam Samaha
Anti-Modalities, David E. Pozen, Adam Samaha
Faculty Scholarship
Constitutional argument runs on the rails of “modalities.” These are the accepted categories of reasoning used to make claims about the content of supreme law. Some of the modalities, such as ethical and prudential arguments, seem strikingly open ended at first sight. Their contours come into clearer view, however, when we attend to the kinds of claims that are not made by constitutional interpreters – the analytical and rhetorical moves that are familiar in debates over public policy and political morality but are considered out of bounds in debates over constitutional meaning. In this Article, we seek to identify the …
Regulating Antitrust Through Trade Agreements, Anu Bradford, Adam S. Chilton
Regulating Antitrust Through Trade Agreements, Anu Bradford, Adam S. Chilton
Faculty Scholarship
Antitrust law is one of the most commonly deployed instruments of economic regulation around the world. To date, over 130 countries have adopted a domestic antitrust law. These countries comprise developed and developing nations alike, and combined produce over 95 percent of the world’s GDP. Most of the countries that have adopted an antitrust law have done so since 1990. This period of significant proliferation of antitrust laws also coincides with a notable expansion of international trade agreements, including the creation of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1995 and the negotiation of numerous bilateral and multilateral trade agreements. These …
Limits Of The Rule Of Law: Negotiating Afghan “Traditional” Law In The International Civil Trials In The Czech Republic, Tomas Ledvinka, James M. Donovan
Limits Of The Rule Of Law: Negotiating Afghan “Traditional” Law In The International Civil Trials In The Czech Republic, Tomas Ledvinka, James M. Donovan
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
Drawing on ethnographic research of judicial cases in the Czech Republic which involve the law in migrants' countries of origin, this Article outlines how multiple strategies handle encounters with the legal-cultural differences of Afghanistan in order to neutralize what may be called the “alterity” of law. The Article suggests that far from being analytical tools, concepts such as “context,” “culture,” and “customary” are strategically used by courts to neutralize unsettling aspects of foreign Afghan legalities. Further, it applies Leopold Pospíšil´s ethnological concept of legal authority as a vehicle for reinterpreting the contextual differentiation of Afghan “traditional” law as an alternative …

Two Steps Forward, One Step Back? An Attempt To Cure Due Process Paranoia, Louis Yi Hang Lau
Two Steps Forward, One Step Back? An Attempt To Cure Due Process Paranoia, Louis Yi Hang Lau
Singapore Law Journal (Lexicon)
Time, cost and quality. These are the qualities that an efficient arbitration must have. In recent times, however, the arbitral process has struggled to maintain this balance, with the efficiency of the arbitral process rated among the top five worst characteristics of international arbitration. The fact that parties may resort to a curial review of arbitral awards in an annulment or refusal of enforcement action merely adds on to this delay.
Shareholder Inspection Rights In China: An Empirical Inquiry, Robin Hui Huang
Shareholder Inspection Rights In China: An Empirical Inquiry, Robin Hui Huang
UC Law SF International Law Review
Drawing upon overseas experiences, notably the U.S., China introduced the legal regime for shareholder inspection rights in its first national company law and over the years, has gradually developed more detailed rules and made amendments intended to better suit the local conditions. Apart from written law, this paper also conducts an empirical study of how the law has been applied in practice, by examining relevant cases adjudicated from 2012 to 2017. The empirical findings show that China’s shareholder inspection rights have some distinctive features, and there are similarities and differences between China and the U.S. (as represented by Delaware). Despite …
Can Investment Dispute Settlement Ever Be Depoliticized?, Fernando Dias Simões
Can Investment Dispute Settlement Ever Be Depoliticized?, Fernando Dias Simões
Cardozo International & Comparative Law Review
Investor-state arbitration was created with the hope of depoliticizing investment disputes. However, the adoption of the traditional party-appointment system, in which disputing parties play a direct role in the composition of the tribunal, is increasingly criticized. Many believe that party appointment is a tool ofpolitical influence over the arbitrators' interpretative space. Suggestions for reform of the system have proliferated. The most radical proposal currently on the table-the creation of a permanent investment court-would cause a paradigm shift in the selection of adjudicators, moving from a disputing party framework, to a treaty party context. This article analyzes different options to reduce …
The Politics Of Regulating And Disciplining Judges In Nigeria, Olabisi D. Akinkugbe
The Politics Of Regulating And Disciplining Judges In Nigeria, Olabisi D. Akinkugbe
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
The disciplining of judges is a sensitive and complex challenge. In Nigeria, the complexity is heightened because the process is complicated by socio-political factors and public views about the motivations for disciplining some judges, including claims of political interference by the ruling government. This Chapter argues that both judicial discipline and the work of the National Judicial Council (NJC) – the body responsible for judicial regulation in Nigeria – are caught up within Nigeria’s peculiar socio-politics, a reality that a strictly legal analysis will miss. The Chapter analyzes contemporary challenges and controversies associated with the complaints and discipline procedure in …
Effective Taxation In Africa: Confronting Systemic Vulnerability Through Inclusive Global Tax Governance, Okanga Ogbu Okanga, Lyla Latif
Effective Taxation In Africa: Confronting Systemic Vulnerability Through Inclusive Global Tax Governance, Okanga Ogbu Okanga, Lyla Latif
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
Implicit within the African fiscal architecture are embedded vulnerabilities to exogenous factors which challenge their domestic revenue mobilization (DRM) strategies. These DRM challenges are attributable to asymmetrical power relationships that exist within the international tax regime (ITR). The rules governing international taxation have largely been devised by developed countries resonating their own economic purposes, resulting in a regressive relationship that overlooks African perspectives in the creation of tax norms. Consequently, policymaking, and scholarship have focused extensively on curbing these power asymmetries that have resulted in vulnerable African tax systems. Continental and domestic approaches are now aligned towards fostering reform of …
Is There A New Extraterritoriality In Intellectual Property?, Timothy R. Holbrook
Is There A New Extraterritoriality In Intellectual Property?, Timothy R. Holbrook
Faculty Articles
This Article proceeds as follows. Part I discusses the state of the law of extraterritoriality in copyright, trademark, and patent, as it stood before the Supreme Court’s recent intervention. This review demonstrates that all three disciplines were treating extraterritoriality very differently, and none were paying much attention to the presumption against extraterritoriality. Part II reviews a tetralogy of recent Supreme Court cases, describing the Court’s attempt to formalize its approach to extraterritoriality across all fields of law. Part III analyzes the state of IP law in the aftermath of this tetralogy of extraterritoriality cases. It concludes that there has been …
Understanding National Remedies And The Principle Of National Procedural Autonomy: A Constitutional Approach, Daniel H. Halberstam
Understanding National Remedies And The Principle Of National Procedural Autonomy: A Constitutional Approach, Daniel H. Halberstam
Articles
This article provides a constitutionally grounded understanding of the vexing principle of ‘national procedural autonomy’ that haunts the vindication of EU law in national court. After identifying tensions and confusion in the debate surrounding this purported principle of ‘autonomy’, the Article turns to the foundational text and structure of Union law to reconstruct the proper constitutional basis for deploying or supplanting national procedures and remedies. It further argues that much of the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union may be considered through the lens of ‘prudential avoidance’, ie the decision to avoid difficult constitutional questions …
The Carbon Price Equivalent: A Metric For Comparing Climate Change Mitigation Efforts Across Jurisdictions, Gabriel Weil
The Carbon Price Equivalent: A Metric For Comparing Climate Change Mitigation Efforts Across Jurisdictions, Gabriel Weil
Dickinson Law Review (2017-Present)
Climate change presents a global commons problem: Emissions reductions on the scale needed to meet global targets do not pass a domestic cost-benefit test in most countries. To give national governments ample incentive to pursue deep decarbonization, mutual interstate coercion will be necessary. Many proposed tools of coercive climate diplomacy would require a onedimensional metric for comparing the stringency of climate change mitigation policy packages across jurisdictions. This article proposes and defends such a metric: the carbon price equivalent. There is substantial variation in the set of climate change mitigation policy instruments implemented by different countries. Nonetheless, the consequences of …

Heaven Or Earth: The Hagia Sophia Re-Conversion, Turkish And International Law, And The Special Case Of Universal Religious Sites, Michael Goodyear
Heaven Or Earth: The Hagia Sophia Re-Conversion, Turkish And International Law, And The Special Case Of Universal Religious Sites, Michael Goodyear
Articles & Chapters
The Hagia Sophia has stood as one of the greatest religious buildings in the world for nearly 1,500 years. During this time, the structure was a church and then a mosque, before finally becoming a museum in 1934. But in July 2020, the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, re-converted the Hagia Sophia to a mosque following a ruling by the Turkish Council of State. The re-conversion was received with outrage across much of the world, but whether the decision was legal poses a much more difficult question.
This article analyzes Turkish domestic law and international law to conclude that there …

Bargaining Justice: Negotiating Law In An Indian Bazaar, Andy Rotman
Seattle University Law Review
This Symposium Article details the bazaars in the city of Banaras and explains why it is an especially good test case for considering the topic at hand: Corporate Capitalism and the City of God. The article explores how Banaras challenges normative views of “corporate capitalism,” both in terms of how it is practiced in the city and the rules that govern it. It further focuses on the legal system that is mobilized to guide commercial exchange and daily life in the bazaars of Banaras, this legal system’s relationship to the city’s courts and police, and the relationship between these two …
Legal Translation In A Political Context: The Trick Of Choosing Between Alternatives In Translating Electoral Terms, Zakia Deeb
Abdou Filali-Ansary Occasional Paper Series
Legal electoral terminology is a specialist subject within the broader legal language discourse. When translating into Arabic, even basic electoral terms can be translated differently in different Arab countries for various reasons due to different sources of inspiration. Most legal electoral terms have a variety of alternative equivalents within the relevant linguistic field or semi-legal domain. This paper discusses such alternatives while presenting problems related to the existing resources in the field. Data collected from the 2012 election of members of the Libyan General National Congress are analysed to test the consistency in selecting from these alternatives. Furthermore, material presented …
A Philosophical Inquiry Into The Concept Of Territorial Sovereignty: A New Analytical Framework Of The Territorial Disputes In The China Seas, Henan Hu
Cardozo International & Comparative Law Review
Existing normative legal efforts that focus on territorial acquisition, appear inadequate in providing a uniform and final answer to the issue of territorial disputes in the South and East China Seas. China's historical claims are a unique and difficult issue therein. This article returns legal attention to the central concept of territorial sovereignty within territorial disputes by engaging in a philosophical inquiry to examine if the concept could be more fully understood and to ask to what extent do historical claims relate to the concept of territorial sovereignty and international law. This article argues that a definite answer to these …

, The American Constitution In The Cycle Of Kali Yuga: Eastern Philosophy Greets Western Democracy, Shiv Narayan Persaud
Journal Publications
This paper will explore the above-mentioned questions while taking into consideration the intent and overarching tenets of the Constitution in relation to the precepts of Kali Yuga. The hope is to generate discourse on some of the trappings of the Constitution and constitutional democracy in an ever changing and increasingly diverse and segmented society-a nation with a multiplicity of cultures with distinctive beliefs and moral systems. Emphatically stated, the intent is not to examine every article or amendment of the Constitution; this would be presumptuous. The intent is to foster an examination of the Constitution as the overall architectural framework …

The Use Of Mediation To Resolve Conflicts Arising From Cultural Appropriation By Western Fashion Brands, Faith Adongo
The Use Of Mediation To Resolve Conflicts Arising From Cultural Appropriation By Western Fashion Brands, Faith Adongo
Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution
The Cambridge Dictionary defines cultural appropriation as "the act of taking or using things from a culture that is not your own, especially without showing that you understand or respect this culture." It is sometimes referred to as cultural misappropriation, and also defined as taking intellectual property, traditional knowledge, cultural expressions, or artifacts from a culture other than one's own, without permission. Supporters of cultural appropriation see it as the only realistic way of developing, spreading and integrating cultures, while critics see it as a means through which dominant cultures "borrow" from the cultures of minority groups.
