Lights, Camera, Litigate: Lawyers And The Media In Canada And The United States, Charles W. Wolfram Oct 1996

Lights, Camera, Litigate: Lawyers And The Media In Canada And The United States, Charles W. Wolfram

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

Drawing on recent high profile cases in Canada and the United States, the author examines the different extent to which lawyers in those two countries comment to the media about ongoing litigation. He investigates various formal constraints upon lawyer comment, such as court-imposed publication bans and rules of professional responsibility. He also looks at the way in which lawyer behavior is attributable to non-formal, cultural determinants.

Environmental Protection Agreements In Japan And The United States, Susan Ridgley Jul 1996

Environmental Protection Agreements In Japan And The United States, Susan Ridgley

Washington International Law Journal

In an environmental protection agreement, local government regulatory authorities and the regulated industry enter into a binding written agreement that specifies limits on pollution and supplements the applicable regulatory requirements. They have been utilized in Japan for over twenty years. This Comment discusses the content and practical uses of these agreements as they have been used in Japan, and postulates their legal status under three theories: that such agreements are relational social contracts; that they are informal administrative guidance; and that they are civil contracts. The legal character of environmental protection agreements in Japan has never been well-defined, primarily because …

Changing The "Fourth Channels": Taiwan Tunes In To A New Cable Television Law, Sophia R. Byrd Jul 1996

Changing The "Fourth Channels": Taiwan Tunes In To A New Cable Television Law, Sophia R. Byrd

Washington International Law Journal

Threatened with potentially massive trade sanctions by the United States, Taiwan enacted the Cable Television Law in 1993 to regulate the so-called "Fourth Channels," hundreds of private cable operations that transmitted programming pirated from the United States and other sources. This Comment identifies the roots of the Fourth Channels and examines the U.S. and Taiwanese forces that gave rise to the cable law. The Comment analyzes major provisions of the law and explores the law's effects on both U.S. and Taiwanese interests.

China's Eugenics Law As Grounds For Granting Asylum, Graciela Gómez Jul 1996

China's Eugenics Law As Grounds For Granting Asylum, Graciela Gómez

Washington International Law Journal

China has instituted two controversial population control programs. First instituted in 1979, the One Child Policy seeks to control population growth by limiting the number of children born to married couples. The Maternal and Infant Health Care Law ("Eugenics Law"), effective June of 1995, has a stated purpose of improving the quality of the population by mandating sterilization for people with serious genetic defects. Implementation of the One Child Policy has led to forced abortion and involuntary sterilization. The Eugenics Law is likely to engender similar types of human rights abuses. Since 1989, the U.S. Board of Immigration Appeals has …

The 1992 Employment Service Act And The Influx Of Foreign Workers In Taiwan And Translation Of The 1994 Implentary Provisions, Dorothy S. Liu, Li Mingde, Judy Demarsh Jul 1996

The 1992 Employment Service Act And The Influx Of Foreign Workers In Taiwan And Translation Of The 1994 Implentary Provisions, Dorothy S. Liu, Li Mingde, Judy Demarsh

Washington International Law Journal

The 1992 Employment Service Act, the first major law in Taiwan to legalize the hiring of blue-collar foreign workers, was adopted to stem the tide of illegal aliens while alleviating Taiwan's labor shortage. The Act and its Implementary Provisions, however, have not resolved the problems caused by the influx of foreign labor. Taiwan's foreign labor policy has not curtailed the influx of illegal aliens, and in an effort to resolve the labor shortage without recognizing the consequences of importing foreign labor, Taiwan has encouraged the continuation of labor-intensive industries and has indirectly perpetuated the continuation of employer abuses against foreign …

Eastern Twists On Western Concepts: Equality Jurisprudence And Sexual Harassment In Japan, Leon Wolff Jul 1996

Eastern Twists On Western Concepts: Equality Jurisprudence And Sexual Harassment In Japan, Leon Wolff

Washington International Law Journal

A rich source of Japanese jurisprudence on sexual equality underlies Japan's emerging law against sexual harassment. With no law specifically outlawing sexual harassment, academics and the courts have invoked the principle of sexual equality to support their conclusion that Japanese law carries an implicit prohibition against acts of sexual harassment. In developing a legal case against sexual harassment, Japanese courts and academic commentators have introduced novel constructions of equality. The key innovations include relational equality, inherent equality and quantifiable equality. In presenting some of these Japanese contributions to equality jurisprudence, the hope is that feminist discourse on equality can take …

Federalism And Liberalism, Mark Tushnet Jul 1996

Federalism And Liberalism, Mark Tushnet

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article explores the role of federalism within the context of John Rawls' political liberalism, arguing that while federal systems are inherently unstable and tend toward centralization, certain institutional designs and a formalist legal culture can slow this drift. Federalism is particularly suited to societies with reinforcing pluralist differences, offering a framework that allows diverse groups to coexist while maintaining stability.

The German Duality Of State And Society, David Abraham Jul 1996

The German Duality Of State And Society, David Abraham

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article argues that the United States should consider supplementing its property-based negative rights regime with citizenship-based positive rights, drawing on the German constitutional model. It contends that negative rights, which focus on freedom from state interference, are insufficient in addressing systemic inequality and fostering meaningful participation in a democratic society. In contrast, Germany's constitutional framework, rooted in a communitarian ethos, emphasizes positive rights and duties, ensuring that rights are not only protected but also effectively realized through state action. This approach, the article suggests, offers a more equitable and inclusive vision of rights and citizenship.

Children Of A Lesser God: Gdr Lawyers In Post-Socialist Germany, Inga Markovits Jun 1996

Children Of A Lesser God: Gdr Lawyers In Post-Socialist Germany, Inga Markovits

Michigan Law Review

In this essay, I want to investigate German vetting policies by looking at one particular subgroup of examinees: GDR lawyers. In Germany, no other former socialist elite has been submitted to so thorough an ideological cleansing process as the legal profession. After reunification, all GDR judges and prosecutors hoping to remain in office had to undergo investigations that by March 1994 had left only 9.2% of their former numbers in permanent positions. Virtually all East German law professors were removed from their university posts. More than 5000 attorneys in Germany's eastern half are currently being examined for former contacts with …
