An Analysis Of Argentine Federalism, Jorge Reinaldo Vanossi, Robert S. Barker

Barker Papers

It is Dr. Vanossi's contention that Argentine federalism is today largely a fiction , as demonstrated by the fact that only the city of Buenos Aires and three or four of the country's provincial governments are financially viable, with the rest depending on large and continuing subsidies from the national government. The solution, he contends, is "regionalization", a process by which two or more provinces, through interprovincial agreements approved by the national Congress, would unite for certain specified governmental purposes. This process, Dr. Vanossi points out, has always been authorized by the country's Constitution.

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

The CoE Convention on cybercrime provides a treaty-based framework that imposes on the participating nations the obligation to enact legislation criminalizing certain conduct related to computer systems, create investigative procedures and ensure their availability to domestic law enforcement authorities to investigate cybercrime offenses, including procedures to obtain electronic evidence in all of its forms and create a regime of broad international cooperation, including assistance in extradition of fugitives sought for crimes identified under the CoE Convention.

Comparative Analysis Of Litigation Systems: An Auction‐Theoretic Approach, Michael R. Baye, Dan Kovenock, Casper G. De Vries

Economics Faculty Articles and Research

A simple auction-theoretic framework is used to examine symmetric litigation environments where the legal ownership of a disputed asset is unknown to the court. The court observes only the quality of the case presented by each party, and awards the asset to the party presenting the best case. Rational litigants influence the quality of their cases by hiring skilful attorneys. This framework permits us to compare the equilibrium legal expenditures that arise under a continuum of legal systems. The British rule, Continental rule, American rule, and some recently proposed legal reforms are special cases of our model.

Geographical Indicators: A Unique European Perspective On Intellectual Property, Eva Gutierrez

UC Law SF International Law Review

In a recent case before the World Trade Organization, the European Union advocated robust protection for geographical indicators, much to the opposition of the United States and Australia. Although the United States criticizes the European perspective of geographical indicators, the author concludes the robust GI protection the EU provides to its Member States is both a valid and ingenious way of utilizing intellectual property for national economic and social growth.

The Presumption Of Guilt And The English Law Of Theft, 1750-1850, Bruce P. Smith

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

"When it is said that a defendant to a criminal charge is presumed to be innocent, what is really meant is that the burden of proving his guilt is upon the prosecution. This golden thread ... runs through the web of the English criminal law. Unhappily Parliament regards the principle with indifference - one might almost say with contempt. The statute book contains many offences in which the burden of proving his innocence is cast on the accused." (Glanville Williams, The Proof of Guilt: A Study of the English Criminal Trial (1955))

No principle in Anglo-American criminal law is more …
