All The Lizards Stand And Say “Yes Yes Yes” : The Element Of Play In Legal Actions Against Animals And Inanimate Objects, Anna Pervukhin
All The Lizards Stand And Say “Yes Yes Yes” : The Element Of Play In Legal Actions Against Animals And Inanimate Objects, Anna Pervukhin
ExpressO
Legal actions against non-humans (whether animals or objects) were once widespread. They were viewed seriously and undoubtedly served important social functions. This article considers the possibility that some of these actions may have been playful as well. Certain aspects of legal actions against animals and objects-- occasional moments of levity, a preoccupation with formal rules, and a strong emphasis on imaginative transformation-- suggest that these actions had elements of play. The possibility is worth considering for two reasons. First, it may shed some light on a practice that has perplexed and disturbed commentators for centuries. Second, an examination of play …

A Gradual Shift In U.S. Privacy Laws Towards A Comprehensive Regime , Kamaal R. Zaidi
A Gradual Shift In U.S. Privacy Laws Towards A Comprehensive Regime , Kamaal R. Zaidi
ExpressO
This paper examines the current trends in a predominantly sectoral U.S. privacy regime that appears to be becoming more comprehensive in nature with respect to data privacy protection. This trend has been greatly attributed to the European Union's comprehensive position on data privacy protection. This paper investigates the growth in U.S. data privacy protection in relation to federal and state legislative history, federal administrative procedures, and private industry efforts. This shift from sectoral to comprehensive regimes is significant in the backdrop of U.S-EU trade relations.
The New Japanese Law Schools, James R. Maxeiner
The New Japanese Law Schools, James R. Maxeiner
ExpressO
Japan is in the process of implementing a comprehensive reform of its justice system. At the heart of the reform is a complete overhaul of the system of legal education. The new system is intended to increase substantially the number of lawyers in the country. On April 1, 2004 as many as 72 new law schools are to come into existence. Japanese legal education is shifting from a German-inspired law faculty approach to an American-style law school system. Based on first-hand observations, this article discusses the present and future system of Japanese legal education with reference to its foreign counterparts.
Canadian Fundamental Justice And American Due Process: Two Models For A Guarantee Of Basic Adjudicative Fairness, David M. Siegel
Canadian Fundamental Justice And American Due Process: Two Models For A Guarantee Of Basic Adjudicative Fairness, David M. Siegel
ExpressO
This paper traces how the Supreme Courts of Canada and the United States have each used the basic guarantee of adjudicative fairness in their respective constitutions to effect revolutions in their countries’ criminal justice systems, through two different jurisprudential models for this development. It identifies a relationship between two core constitutional structures, the basic guarantee and enumerated rights, and shows how this relationship can affect the degree to which entrenched constitutional rights actually protect individuals. It explains that the different models for the relationship between the basic guarantee and enumerated rights adopted in Canada and the United States, an “expansive …
Universal Jurisdiction And Drug Trafficking: A Tool For Fighting One Of The World's Most Pervasive Problems , Anne H. Geraghty
Universal Jurisdiction And Drug Trafficking: A Tool For Fighting One Of The World's Most Pervasive Problems , Anne H. Geraghty
ExpressO
Universal jurisdiction allows any state to exercise jurisdiction to prosecute a suspect wherever he is found, regardless of the location of his crimes, his nationality, or any other contacts with the prosecuting state. This article proposes that the United States and the international community should take two major steps toward embracing universal jurisdiction as a possible means of combatting drug trafficking. First, states should adopt an additional protocol to the 1988 United Nations Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances clearly establishing universal jurisdiction for drug trafficking and thereby filling jurisdictional gaps in existing treaty law. Second, …
Bioterrorism, Biodefense, And Biotechnology In The Military: A Comparative Analysis Of Legal And Ethical Issues In The Research, Development, And Use Of Biotechnological Products On American And British Soldiers., Ashley R. Melson
ExpressO
Despite the legal and ethical concerns raised, biotechnology continues to offer countless opportunities for enhancing military capabilities. As such, the research, development and utilization of biotechnological products are present realities in the U.S. and abroad, both within and outside of the defense context. However, testing and usage, as well as effective collaboration between Allies, calls for the resolution of complex and pressing issues presented by this intersection of science, technology, and human lives. Resolutions must take into account the history of abuses in military research, existing domestic and international legal and ethical safeguards, and a special respect for those serving …
The Perils Of "Consensus": Hans Kelsen And The Legal Philosophy Of The United Nations, J. Peter Pham
The Perils Of "Consensus": Hans Kelsen And The Legal Philosophy Of The United Nations, J. Peter Pham
ExpressO
Recently the United States and a number of its traditional allies have clashed over a variety of foreign policy issues that are profoundly juridical: the authority for war and peace, the International Criminal Court, etc. The source of these recent tensions is to be located at a level deeper than that of narrow national interests and specific policies. Rather, they arise from significant differences concerning the nature of "consensus" and, ultimately, legal philosophy. While the United Nations and many other international organizations derive their legal visions from the philosophy of law of Hans Kelsen (1881-1973), one of the most important …

The Symbiosis Of Constitutionalism And Technology, John O. Mcginnis
The Symbiosis Of Constitutionalism And Technology, John O. Mcginnis
Articles
Technology does not change the essential problems that constitutionalism seeks to address because these problems are rooted in the enduring nature of man. Technological change, however, can transform man's environment. A different environment, in turn, may require substantially modified forms of constitutionalism even if the underlying objectives remain constant. As the great political philosopher Edmund Burke recognized, the key to sound structures of governance in every age and place is to understand the intersection of man's enduring nature with his particular circumstances. Because technology increasingly shapes the circumstances of modem man, technology is becoming progressively more important to constitutionalism.

The Decline Of The Western Nation State And The Rise Of The Regime Of International Federalism, John O. Mcginnis
The Decline Of The Western Nation State And The Rise Of The Regime Of International Federalism, John O. Mcginnis
Cardozo Law Review
The nation state is in decline, at least among the Western industrialized nations. Decline is a relative term. It does not suggest that the nation state has disappeared, but rather, that it is no longer as defining a feature of geopolitics as it once was, and will likely remain a less controlling feature. In the West, the era of the nation state was characterized by entities that approximated, even if they never attained, absolute control over their territory. First, the nation state had substantial control over economic affairs within its borders. While the world has always been to some extent …
The Persistent Nation State And The Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, Mark L. Movsesian
The Persistent Nation State And The Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, Mark L. Movsesian
Cardozo Law Review
One hears a great deal these days about the decline of the nation state. The concept of a sovereign country whose inhabitants share a common ancestry or culture is said to be obsolescent, if not already obsolete. Several factors, apparently, are responsible: the creation of supranational institutions like the European Union and the World Trade Organization; the growing influence of nongovernmental organizations; the emergence of a new global economy; and the formation of a worldwide consumer culture, to name just a few. The law, it is argued, must adapt.
Crafting A Corporate Code From Scratch, Uriel Procaccia
Crafting A Corporate Code From Scratch, Uriel Procaccia
Cardozo Law Review
In the summer of 1982 1 was contacted by the incumbent Minister of Justice of the State of Israel, Mr. Moshe Nissim. Nissim asked me to accept the commission of drafting a brand new and fully cohesive corporate code to replace our current, antiquated Companies Ordinance. I consented at once. Having consented, it occurred to me to reflect on the meaning of that little word, "cohesive," which was used-quite inadvertently, I presume-in Minister Nissim's solicitation. I finally came to interpret it as a sort of puzzle, or perhaps a quiz, which the resulting product, the corporate code, was crafted to …

Forms Of Constitution Making And Theories Of Democracy, Andrew Arato
Forms Of Constitution Making And Theories Of Democracy, Andrew Arato
Cardozo Law Review
There are those who still think that constitution making is a task that rests wholly within the realm of lawyers. Indeed, all constitutional texts in modem times have been drafted by lawyers. Behind the texts, however, are the most important political actors and forces of a given society, persuading some interpreters to take the view that constitution making represents the work of the political, of political politics, and of le pouvoir constituant. In such a conception, whoever holds the "constituent power," or acts in its name, hires the lawyers. But does the method of constitution making really matter? Either …
The Journey Into Activism, Bernhard Schlink
The Journey Into Activism, Bernhard Schlink
Cardozo Law Review
In Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy teaches us that all happy families are alike and only unhappy families are different. It is the same with courts that engage in constitutional review. All happy constitutional courts, that is, all happily activist constitutional courts are alike and only those that do not play an activist role are different.
Ideology Between Fiction And Fantasy, Slavoj Zizek
Ideology Between Fiction And Fantasy, Slavoj Zizek
Cardozo Law Review
In his movie version of Franz Kafka's The Trial, Orson Welles accomplished an exemplary anti-obscurantist operation by way of reinterpreting the place and the function of the famous parable on "the door of the Law." In the film, we hear it twice: at the very beginning, it serves as a kind of prologue, read and accompanied by (faked) ancient engravings projected from lantern-slides; then, shortly before the end, it is told to Josef K., not by the priest (as in the novel), but by K.'s lawyer (played by Welles himself) who unexpectedly joins the priest and K. in the …

Reinventing Labor Law: A Rejoinder, Tamara Lothian
Cardozo Law Review
In an Article published recently in this journal, Stanley Gacek, an attorney working with the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union in the United States, takes issue with my analysis of the political consequences of corporatist and contractualist labor law models, especially as applied to the current situations in Brazil and the United States. Despite our many major disagreements, I welcome Gacek's response to my Article and his effort to expand public discussion of the alternative legal-institutional forms of democratic labor organization. Unfortunately, in the course of developing his own position Gacek seriously misrepresents my views. He also misunderstands …
National Socialism And Constitutional Law: Carl Schmitt, Otto Koellreutter, And The Debate Over The Nature Of The Nazi State, 1993-1937, Peter Caldwell
National Socialism And Constitutional Law: Carl Schmitt, Otto Koellreutter, And The Debate Over The Nature Of The Nazi State, 1993-1937, Peter Caldwell
Cardozo Law Review
On January 30, 1933, President von Hindenburg named Adolf Hitler chancellor of the German Republic. One year later, the conservative (and by then National Socialist) constitutional lawyer, Carl Schmitt noted that Hitler's chancellorship was an event that had "already led beyond the Weimar Constitution." But where had the seizure of power led? What was the nature of the new constitution of the German Empire? As historian David Schoenbaum has noted, 1933 was a kind of "constitutional no man's land"; it was unclear how the principles enumerated in the Nazi Party Program of 1920 would translate into the reality of the …

Ways To Think About The Unitary Executive: A Comment On Approaches To Government Structure, Michael Fitts
Ways To Think About The Unitary Executive: A Comment On Approaches To Government Structure, Michael Fitts
Cardozo Law Review
Over the past few years public law debates have invariably focused on the relative significance of legal institutions as expressed in formal legislative and administrative structures versus everyday politics in the resolution of policy questions. This emphasis has been particularly evident in the examination of the appropriate structure and distribution of responsibility for administrative decision making, in general, and presidential authority versus agency autonomy, in particular.
The 1991 Supreme Court Term: Review And Outlook, John O. Mcginnis
The 1991 Supreme Court Term: Review And Outlook, John O. Mcginnis
Articles
The 1991 Supreme Court Term was the first during which justices originally appointed by Presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush-Sandra Day O'Connor, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, David Souter, and Clarence Thomas-constituted a majority. The term's main surprise, however, was that this majority of five-indeed, a majority of six when Chief Justice William Rehnquist, elevated to that position by President Reagan precisely because of his judicial philosophy, is included-did not forge a consistent jurisprudential majority characterized by the strict interpretative approach favored by their sponsoring presidents. While, generally speaking, the Court's decisions certainly continued to represent a departure from the expansive …
