Substance Overload: A Comparative Examination Of Japanese Corporate Governance Law Through The Lens Of The Daiwa Bank Case, A. Reid Monroe-Sheridan
Substance Overload: A Comparative Examination Of Japanese Corporate Governance Law Through The Lens Of The Daiwa Bank Case, A. Reid Monroe-Sheridan
Washington International Law Journal
Japanese corporate governance law is facing a period of remarkable change. In light of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s push for corporate governance reforms and the explosive news of Olympus Corporation’s $1.7 billion accounting scandal in 2011, academics and practitioners alike are devoting renewed attention to the rules that govern Japan’s boardrooms. This increased focus brings to the fore two key questions about Japan’s modern corporate governance principles: how have they evolved and how are they applied in practice? To answer these questions, this article revisits the Daiwa Bank case, one of Japan’s most stunning business scandals. This international criminal conspiracy …
The Criminalization Of Revenge Porn In Japan, Shigenori Matsui
The Criminalization Of Revenge Porn In Japan, Shigenori Matsui
Washington International Law Journal
Revenge porn is the practice of posting and distributing sexually explicit images of an ex-partner on the Internet to seek revenge after a breakup. Because it brings serious damages to the victims, it has become a significant social issue in Japan, the United States, and around the world. An increasing number of U.S. states and other countries are now enacting statutes criminalizing revenge porn. Recently, Japan joined these jurisdictions in criminalizing revenge porn when the Diet, the Japanese national legislature, passed the Revenge Porn Victimization Prevention Act. This article compares the Act with legislation in the United States and critically …
Patching Old Wineskins: Heightened Deference Towards Saiban-In Findings Of Fact On Koso Appeals Is Not Enough, Caleb Jon F. Vandenbos
Patching Old Wineskins: Heightened Deference Towards Saiban-In Findings Of Fact On Koso Appeals Is Not Enough, Caleb Jon F. Vandenbos
Washington International Law Journal
The successful introduction of the saiban-in seido—the Japanese lay assessor system—was a tremendous step towards creating meaningful exchange between the public and the judiciary and democratizing the criminal justice system in Japan. To preserve the quality of this exchange, judges must conscientiously solicit and respect lay assessor input during deliberations, and saiban-in decisions must retain their force on appeal. Under current appellate procedure, however, saiban-in findings of fact may be replaced on koso appeal. Koso appeals threaten to eviscerate lay participants’ contributions in the individual case being reviewed and, in the long term, will discourage judges from taking lay …
The U.K. Supreme Court At War, Po Jen Yap
The U.K. Supreme Court At War, Po Jen Yap
Washington International Law Journal
This article contends that the underlying normative assumptions of civil libertarians and national security “executive unilateralists” are premised on a variant of the “nirvana fallacy.” In other words, civil libertarians generate a best-case scenario for rigorous judicial oversight over executive action during emergencies and compare it to the worst-case scenario for executive action; the reverse holds true for executive unilateralists. In practice, the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom has been cognizant of the institutional advantages and limitations of its office when it adjudicates national security disputes, and has not succumbed to the criticisms of scholars in either camp. Instead, …

Book Review: Private International Law In English Courts, S. I. Strong
Book Review: Private International Law In English Courts, S. I. Strong
Faculty Publications
Although debates about cooperation versus competition make for good scholarly fodder, this issue actually has an important practical component, as demonstrated by Professor Adrian Briggs of the University of Oxford in his masterful new book, Private International Law in English Courts. Like all truly superlative texts, Professor Briggs's book is deceptively accessible. The prose is not only elegant and eloquent, it is peppered with the dry wit one would expect from an Oxford don.
Foreign Precedents In Constitutional Adjudication By The Supreme Court Of Singapore, 1963-2013, Jack Tsen-Ta Lee
Foreign Precedents In Constitutional Adjudication By The Supreme Court Of Singapore, 1963-2013, Jack Tsen-Ta Lee
Washington International Law Journal
This article surveys the use of foreign precedents in constitutional adjudication by the Supreme Court of Singapore for over half of a century during the terms of the first three Chief Justices—Wee Chong Jin (1963–1990), Yong Pung How (1990–2006), and Chan Sek Keong (2006–2012)—and the first year in office of the fourth Chief Justice, Sundaresh Menon (2012–2013). It concludes that while judges have always cited foreign case law, they have only actually applied foreign cases where the wording of the Constitution and the constitutional arrangements in Singapore are fairly analogous to the constitutional texts and arrangements upon which the cases …
Utility Model Patent: An Essential And Improving Patent Scheme In China, Victor Wang
Utility Model Patent: An Essential And Improving Patent Scheme In China, Victor Wang
Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law
The note argues that China's utility model patent (UMP) system, despite criticism, serves as a beneficial tool for both domestic and foreign inventors, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). While commentators often view the UMP as detrimental to innovation policies, the system's low inventiveness threshold, quick file-to-grant process, and affordability make it a practical solution for protecting incremental inventions. The note contends that the UMP aligns with China's current status as a developing nation and supports its innovation ecosystem, contrary to claims that it hinders progress.
Watch & Learn: Illegal Behavior And Obedience To Legal Norms Through The Eyes Of Israeli And American Popular Culture, Itay Ravid
Faculty Publications
What do popular media tell us about the way we perceive the rule of law in our society? What conceptions of legal norms and obedience to these norms control popular mass media? How do these conceptions shape and reflect the legal culture of a given society? This paper aims to explore empirically these questions, through the analysis of American TV shows and Israeli TV shows that became popular in Israel. To achieve this goal a dual empirical strategy was adopted — content analysis of popular TV shows, and an Internet survey among Israeli respondents. This approach addresses a methodological and …
Barcelona, Spain As A Model For The Creation Of Innovation Districts And Sustainable Social Housing Without Spatial Segregation, Janice C. Griffith
Barcelona, Spain As A Model For The Creation Of Innovation Districts And Sustainable Social Housing Without Spatial Segregation, Janice C. Griffith
Suffolk University Law School Faculty Works
Suburban growth in the post-World War II era led to the deterioration of central cities as the migration of more affluent households left a greater concentration of the poor and minorities in the core. To some extent, the twenty-first century’s global networking economy is reversing this trend because the workplace now thrives on the collaboration of a highly skilled labor force working in close proximity to each other. A number of cities have revitalized under-utilized urban areas, including obsolete industrial sectors, by turning them into vibrant cityscapes that provide an attractive environment for an information and technology driven economy. Barcelona, …
In The Aftermath Of Resolution 1373: Tackling The Protective Veil Of Counter-Terrorism, Johanny Santana
In The Aftermath Of Resolution 1373: Tackling The Protective Veil Of Counter-Terrorism, Johanny Santana
Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law
The absence of a universally accepted definition of terrorism has enabled states to exploit counterterrorism measures to justify human rights abuses, as exemplified by Uganda and India. A clear international definition is essential to prevent such abuses and enhance accountability under frameworks like the International Criminal Court.
Affordable Housing For Sustainable Cities: A North American Perspective, Detroit Metropolitan Area And Montreal (Quebec), Courtney Lauren Anderson, Maryse Grandbois
Affordable Housing For Sustainable Cities: A North American Perspective, Detroit Metropolitan Area And Montreal (Quebec), Courtney Lauren Anderson, Maryse Grandbois
Faculty Publications By Year
Housing is an integral part to elevating and maintaining a quality of life to ensure a healthy and productive citizenship. The overwhelming number of citizens in Montreal and the United States who are unable to find housing that is less than 33% of their income stifles that economic progression of individuals and the society in which these individuals live. The ability for cities to dictate their own plans for creating and maintaining affordable housing without mandates from the federal vacillates among the various levels of government with each level having certain positive and negative elements. Although city autonomy can provide …

Barcelona is a leader in the smart cities movement, a movement that aims to help cities deliver services to citizens more efficiently and economically as a way of making the city a more inviting and inclusive place to live and work. As with any city committed to forward-looking economic, social, and urban development initiatives, it is important to consider whether ambitious goals to reinvent the city include an agenda to solve the persistent problems that have faced major cities for decades, including affordable housing and caring for roofless or homeless men and women. This article ties together the challenges Barcelona …
Alleviating Barcelona's Public Housing Shortages Through Historic Properties, Ryan Rowberry
Alleviating Barcelona's Public Housing Shortages Through Historic Properties, Ryan Rowberry
Faculty Publications By Year
Creating public housing space in Barcelona requires rethinking how its historic properties might maintain their cultural and structural vitality while serving critical social and economic needs. Drawing on programs from the United States, Europe, and China, I suggest two strategies that Catalan officials might use to effectively leverage Barcelona's historic properties to reduce its public housing deficit. The first strategy considers successful financial incentives promoting public housing in historic properties within the United States - the Low Income Housing Tax Credit and the Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit - and proposes how the Catalan government might find seed money to fund …
Developer Funding Of Affordable And Work Force Housing Through Impact Fees And Land Value Recapture: A Comparison Of American And Spanish Approaches, Julian C. Juergensmeyer
Developer Funding Of Affordable And Work Force Housing Through Impact Fees And Land Value Recapture: A Comparison Of American And Spanish Approaches, Julian C. Juergensmeyer
Faculty Publications By Year
This article explores the differences, similarities, comparative advantages and disadvantages between developer funding requirements for Affordable and Work Force Housing in the United States and Spain. Emphasis is placed on impact fees as a revenue source in the United States and value recapture requirements in Spain and in Catalonia in particular. The author concludes that American impact fees provide a broader base for developer funding requirement but that Spanish land value recapture programs offer greater flexibility to planning officials when they are applicable.

Se hace hincapié en las impact fees como fuente de ingresos en los Estados Unidos y los requisitos de recuperación de plusvalías en España y en Cataluña en particular. El autor concluye que las impact fees norteamericanas proporcionan una base más amplia para los deberes de los promotores de financiación, pero que los programas españoles de recuperación de plusvalías ofrecen una mayor flexibilidad a las autoridades encargadas …
The Politics Of The Takings Clauses, Mila Versteeg
The Politics Of The Takings Clauses, Mila Versteeg
Northwestern University Law Review
A long-standing consensus exists that the arbitrary or excessive expropriation of private property by a country hurts its economic growth. Although constitutions can play an important role in protecting private property, remarkably little is known about how they actually restrict the power of eminent domain and whether such restrictions are associated with reduced de facto expropriation risks. This Essay fills that gap by presenting original data on the procedural and substantive protections in constitutional takings clauses from 1946 to 2013. Its main finding is that no observable relationship exists between de jure constitutional restrictions on the power of eminent domain …
The Responsibility To Protect: Emerging Norm Or Failed Doctrine?, Camila Pupparo
The Responsibility To Protect: Emerging Norm Or Failed Doctrine?, Camila Pupparo
Global Tides
This paper seeks to investigate the current shift from the non-intervention norm towards the “Responsibility to Protect,” commonly abbreviated as “RtoP,” which actually mandates intervention in cases of humanitarian intervention disasters. I will look at the May 2011 application of the R2P doctrine to the humanitarian crisis in Libya and assess whether it was a success or a failure. Many critics of the “Responsibility to Protect” norm consider it to be yet another imperial tool used by the West to pursue national interests, so this paper analyzes this argument in detail, referring to case study examples, particularly in the Middle …
