Latin-American Land Reform: The Uses Of Confiscation, Kenneth L. Karst

Michigan Law Review

This article examines the legislative techniques for taking land, showing their confiscatory operation. For many lawyers, the analysis would then be easily completed: confiscation is wrongful and must be condemned. Rejecting the implicit absolutism of that conclusion, this article inquires into the justifications that can be pleaded on behalf of selective confiscation as an aid in solving some of Latin America's economic and social ills.

Personal Property As Collateral In Japan And The United States, Kazuaki Sono, Warren L. Shattuck

Washington Law Review

It is our purpose to compare Japanese and United States law and practice in the area of personal property security. Since it is not possible to find a precise common terminology for different types of security transactions, it seems desirable to arrange the discussion in terms of possessory and non-possessory security, and to use as subheads in the latter category the names of the American security devices. Security transfers of intangibles, chattel paper, and title documents are discussed under the possessory-security classification. An appendix includes English translations of cited Japanese statutes and pertinent Civil and Commercial Code as well as …

Alien Lawyers In The United States And Japan—A Comparative Study, Kaname Ohira, George Neff Stevens

Washington Law Review

The steadily increasing economic and social contacts between Japan and the United States are illustrative of a development which has brought lawyers and laymen of all countries face to face with the need for more adequate, and accurate, information about the laws of all countries. Since the lawyer is the fount to which the informed layman turns for legal advice, it would seem quite natural for such a layman, faced with a problem involving foreign law, either to seek advice from his own attorney, or to turn to an alien admitted to the bar of the country, the laws of …

Introduction To U.S.-Japanese Investment, Dan Fenno Henderson

Washington Law Review

The legal environment for foreign investment in Japan has undergone sweeping changes in the past year, both in the Japanese domestic legislation and in the international law spheres. New international law commitments started with findings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) about a year and a half ago that Japanese economic conditions warranted a relaxation of foreign exchange controls, and after the necessary adjustments, on March 12, 1964, Japan arranged to shift her IMF status from an Article XIV country to an Article VIII country, meaning essentially that thereafter her foreign exchange budget was abolished and her current accounts (i.e., …

Contract Problems In U.S.-Japanese Joint Ventures, Dan Fenno Henderson

Washington Law Review

U.S.-Japanese joint ventures are by far the most important form of direct foreign investment in Japan. For unlike most advanced governments elsewhere in the world, Japanese officialdom has, with precious few exceptions, denied validation under the Law Concerning Foreign Investment to all enterprises wholly-owned or even majority-owned by foreigners. Furthermore, it was basic Japanese policy not to validate even a minority equity in a Japanese enterprise unless the foreigner possessed essential technology which he would not make available to Japanese industry by straight patent or know-how licensing arrangements. Since before July 1963 validation only meant the right to repatriate capital …

Japanese Investment Trusts, Hiroo Mizushima, Howard L. Lund, Masao Sekiguchi

Washington Law Review

Foreigners have been freely permitted to purchase shares of Japanese corporations since 1950, with the condition that the principal would not be freely remitted abroad. Until 1960 little attention was paid to this opportunity. The recent increase in foreign interest in Japanese equities has coincided with the easing of currency and exchange restrictions, particularly the shortening of the waiting period for the conversion of invested principal to the original currency of the investor. As of April 1, 1963, the waiting period was entirely eliminated, with the expectation of increased foreign investments. Because of the significant increase of foreign offerings in …

The Antimonopoly Law Of Japan And Its Enforcement, Michiko Ariga, Luvern V. Rieke

Washington Law Review

The Antimonopoly Law of Japan became effective in July 1947, less than two decades ago. The act was extravagantly endorsed by the U.S. occupation forces as a charter for the economic future of Japan. It was indeed a significant undertaking, designed to implant democratic practices where none had existed before, and it required basic, almost revolutionary, changes in the economic structure of the nation. Equally important was the circumstance that this law was neither sought nor desired by the Japanese. It was imposed upon a defeated people, a device entirely alien to the history and culture of those who were …

Revitalization Of The International Judicial Assistance Procedures Of The United States: Service Of Documents And Takings Of Testimony, Richard F. Gerber

Michigan Law Review

This comment will examine two aspects of such judicial assistance-service. of documents and taking of testimony-and it will analyze each from the viewpoint of assistance obtained abroad in aid of American litigation as well as assistance rendered within the United States in aid of foreign litigation. It will attempt to survey some of the problems involved in securing performance of these acts, indicate the changes in current practice which are likely to result from the revisions of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the proposed amendments to the Judicial Code, and, last, suggest some additional measures which might promote …

The Powers Of Shareholders Of A Societe Anonyme, David J. Supino

Vanderbilt Law Review

French corporation law,which is primarily statutory, has seen no comprehensive statutory revision in almost a century; and while literally dozens of amendments have been engrafted on to the basic corporate legislation of 1867, they are for the most part ad hoc legislative resolutions of particular problems which betray no underlying unity of design and which have broken the unity of the old legislation. The result is that the law is Janus faced, and the theories which the law embodies are not wholly in accord with social and economic needs.

In this necessary process of assimilating new insights into the law …

Review Of The Soviet Legal System And How Russia Is Ruled, Whitmore Gray

Reviews

Is there a legal system in the Soviet Union, and if so, what is its role in post-Stalin Soviet society? The Soviet Legal System for the first time makes it possible for a lawyer or law teacher to plunge directly into a very rich collection of translations of case decisions, statutes and doctrinal commentary. Even without a background in Soviet studies, the authors' valuable commentary and the reader's own legal training should make it possible for him to evaluate the material presented. With the help of the new edition of Fainsod's How Russia Is Ruled he can see the development …
