Women In The Courts: An Old Thorn In Men's Sides, Nikolaus Benke

Michigan Journal of Gender & Law

This article was inspired by the work of a series of state task forces on women in the courts. It examines the subject from a historical perspective, comparing ancient Rome, mainly during the period from the first century B.C. to the third A.D., with the United States, from its prerevolutionary beginnings to the present. The article's focus is gender bias against women acting in official court functions.

Sovereignty, Freedom, And Civil Society: Toward A New Jerusalem, Antonio F. Perez

Scholarly Articles

Jerusalem has become a symbol of the world's past. In one sense, of course, it is holy ground to three of the world's great historical religions. The very identity of Muslims, Christians, and Jews are bound up in stories in which the city of Jerusalem plays a large, and sometimes central, role. But Jerusalem is also a symbol of the past in a much different way. Much like today's system of states, the debate concerning sovereignty over Jerusalem is a prisoner of the history of international law-a history that has been told in the language of absolute and undivided sovereignty …

The State As Landlord: The Constitutionality Of The Termination Of Public Housing Leases On Account Of A Tenant's Illegal Activities, Mark Anthony Drumbl

Scholarly Articles

Paragraph 107(l)(b) of the Ontario Landlord and Tenant Act enables landlords to evict tenants on short notice for engaging in illegal activity or for permitting such activity to be conducted in or on any part of the rental premises. Under this provision, the landlord can serve a notice of termination on the tenant, who may then exercise his/her right to dispute the landlord's allegation at a scheduled court hearing.

This paper suggests that paragraph 107(l)(b) is inconsistent with the underlying purposes of the Landlord and Tenant Act, and might run afoul of sections 7 and 15 of the Canadian Charter …

Part III assesses the role that governments, development banks, and international organizations can play in curbing the environmental impact of Chinese power projects. Considering the problems associated with current Chinese and international …

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

Of course I know, and every other sensible man knows, that the Sherman law is damned nonsense, but if my country wants to go to hell, I am here to help it.

Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

In the model of perfect competition, the market is so populated by sellers and buyers that no one individual can influence the market price through' the manipulation of input or output. "All relevant prices are known to each producer, who also knows of all input combinations technically capable of producing any specific combination of outputs and who makes input-output decisions solely to maximize …

Peruvian International Tax Treaties, Adrian Revilla

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

Peru agrees with the idea that double tax treaties are not only useful, but invaluable tools in promoting understanding, stability and confidence among the participants in international commerce. The tangible benefits of the mechanisms provided by double-tax treaties include: the lowering of costs to the investor, the attraction of capital, and a shared understanding on the part of tax administrations of how the limited tax revenues from productive enterprises will be apportioned.

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

Following the United States refusal to participate in the Nicaragua case,' and its subsequent withdrawal from the so-called "optional clause,", a great deal of pessimism surrounded the future of the International Court of Justice.3 Less than a decade later, and only half way through the decade of international law, it would appear, to paraphrase Mark Twain, that reports of the court's demise were greatly exaggerated.

Seguro De Credito Para Las Exportaciones Y El Acuredo General Sobre Aranceles Y Comercio, Rafael E. Cafas, Eric Scharf
