A Comparative Look At Immigration And Human Capital Assessment, Stephen W. Yale-Loehr, Christoph Hoashi-Erhardt Oct 2001

A Comparative Look At Immigration And Human Capital Assessment, Stephen W. Yale-Loehr, Christoph Hoashi-Erhardt

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

This article examines the formation of an immigration policy designed to build up the skill and human capital of a country. We discuss how the process of selecting economic-stream migrants could be designed to yield economic benefits to the host country. Part I examines the theoretical considerations involved in framing a policy that governs economic-stream immigration. In this section, we outline the goals that a host country seeks to achieve in selecting these migrants and propose important elements of a selection scheme. Part II takes a comparative look at existing points-based schemes for selecting economic migrants, focusing on Canada and …


The Symbiosis Of Constitutionalism And Technology, John O. Mcginnis Oct 2001

The Symbiosis Of Constitutionalism And Technology, John O. Mcginnis

Articles

Technology does not change the essential problems that constitutionalism seeks to address because these problems are rooted in the enduring nature of man. Technological change, however, can transform man's environment. A different environment, in turn, may require substantially modified forms of constitutionalism even if the underlying objectives remain constant. As the great political philosopher Edmund Burke recognized, the key to sound structures of governance in every age and place is to understand the intersection of man's enduring nature with his particular circumstances. Because technology increasingly shapes the circumstances of modem man, technology is becoming progressively more important to constitutionalism.

Citizen Participation In Judicial Decision Making: Juries, Lay Judges And Japan, Richard O. Lempert Sep 2001

Citizen Participation In Judicial Decision Making: Juries, Lay Judges And Japan, Richard O. Lempert

Articles

In the late 1920s and 1930s Japan had a jury system. It was suspended in 1943 as a wartime measure, but it had fallen into desuetude long before that. Arguably it was like the Spanish jury, which has several times risen during periods of relative political liberalism or populism and been suppressed during periods of militarism and autocracy. That is, it may be more than a coincidence that use of the Japanese jury fell precipitously during the 1930s as militarism took hold of the Japanese nation. Now the reinstatement of the Japanese jury is again being seriously considered. Similarly it …

The Rule Of Law And The Legitimacy Of Constitutional Democracy, Michel Rosenfeld Jul 2001

The Rule Of Law And The Legitimacy Of Constitutional Democracy, Michel Rosenfeld

Articles

The rule of law is a foundational principle of constitutional democracy, requiring the state to govern through publicly promulgated laws, separate legislative and adjudicative functions, and ensure accountability for all. While the rule of law is essential for legitimate governance, its meaning and implementation remain contested, varying significantly across legal traditions such as the Anglo-American rule of law, German Rechtsstaat, and French état de droit. The article argues that while the rule of law in its narrow sense—emphasizing legal predictability and procedural fairness—is insufficient for legitimate constitutional democracy, it must also incorporate democratic accountability and substantive rights protection to address …


A "Jewish State ... To Be Known As The State Of Israel": Notes On Israeli Legal Historiography, Pnina Lahav Jul 2001

A "Jewish State ... To Be Known As The State Of Israel": Notes On Israeli Legal Historiography, Pnina Lahav

Faculty Scholarship

Israeli legal history is a discipline much younger than the history of its fifty-three-year-old state. It began developing in the 1980s and gained momentum in the late 1990s. 3 In the entire state with its four major law schools and several law colleges4 only five scholars consider legal history to be their main field of expertise. 5 And yet, Israeli legal history has proven to be an extremely exciting intellectual discipline, attracting many more scholars than these five. Asher Maoz and Leora Bilsky are only two of a growing number who find legal history an intellectually stimulating enterprise. The …

International And Comparative Law Perspectives On Internet Patents, Toshiko Takenaka Jun 2001

International And Comparative Law Perspectives On Internet Patents, Toshiko Takenaka

Michigan Telecommunications & Technology Law Review

The Internet and e-commerce have created a borderless market. Goods and services sold on the Internet are subject to the patent statutes and regulations of all countries in which customers have access. Because the presence or absence of patent protection--or variations in that protection--hinders the movement of goods and services throughout the Internet, it is necessary to harmonize the protection afforded by Internet patents in their early stages of development. Among the three papers, however, only Professor Chiappetta touched upon the problem of compliance with the provisions in TRIPS. None of the papers paid attention to the feasibility of harmonizing …


Tax Treatments For Distressed Bank Loans: A Comparative Study Of The United States And Japanese Legal Systems, Yo Ota May 2001

Tax Treatments For Distressed Bank Loans: A Comparative Study Of The United States And Japanese Legal Systems, Yo Ota

Washington International Law Journal

A number of commentators in Japan have argued that tax treatments for distressed bank loans seem to be more generous in Japan than in the United States, and that, in contrast to Japan, the United States does not allow any deduction for loan loss reserves. However, such arguments have not been based upon a careful analysis of case law and actual tax authority practices. This Article presents a comparative study of the tax treatments for distressed bank loans in the United States and Japan. It analyzes corporate income tax legislation, administrative practices and case law in the 1980s and 1990s …
