What Do We Really Know About The American Choice-Of-Law Revolution?, Hillel Y. Levin
What Do We Really Know About The American Choice-Of-Law Revolution?, Hillel Y. Levin
Scholarly Works
This Book Review reviews Symeon Symeonides's recent book, The American Choice-of-Law Revolution: Past, Present and Future. I conclude that the book is required reading in the field and that it pushes the law in the right direction in significant ways. However, I suggest that it falls short in its effort to tell the full story of the Revolution, for two reasons. First, the data set is limited to published opinions. Second, we cannot evaluate the Revolution simply by looking at judicial opinions. I argue that scholarship and practice in Conflicts must reengage with one another, and offer a framework for …
Abu Ghraib, Diane Marie Amann
Abu Ghraib, Diane Marie Amann
Scholarly Works
This article posits a theoretical framework within which to analyze various aspects of post-September 11 detention policy - including the widespread prisoner abuse that has been documented in the leaks and official releases that began with publication of photos made at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison. Examined are the actions of civilian executive officials charged with setting policy, of judicial officers who evaluated it, and military personnel who implemented it. Abuse has been attributed to failures of training or planning. The article concentrates on a different failure, the failure of law to keep lawlessness in check. On September 11, law's map …
Legal Aspects Of The Internet, Etienne Pichat
Legal Aspects Of The Internet, Etienne Pichat
LLM Theses and Essays
This thesis will explain the legal aspects of the Internet so that users who wish to protect their rights and avoid liability can log on with a better understanding of the rules of the game. This work will be divided into two chapters. The first chapter will focus on existing legal regulation of the Internet to advise users on which law is relevant, and how to solve problems of conflicts of laws in the cyberworld. It will answer the question of whether cyberspace is, or not, a "no laws land", and what kind of regulation would better fit the cyberworld. …
The Recognition And Enforcement Of Foreign Equitable Remedies And Other Types Of Non-Money Judgments In United States And French Courts: A Comparative Analysis, Noele Sophie Rigot
The Recognition And Enforcement Of Foreign Equitable Remedies And Other Types Of Non-Money Judgments In United States And French Courts: A Comparative Analysis, Noele Sophie Rigot
LLM Theses and Essays
Courts of industrialized nations are often faced with adjudication of cases which involve foreign components. It is common for those courts to be asked by individuals or legal entities from a transnational environment to adjudicate with regard to some elements already adjudged in a different legal system as if it were a local judgment. The question that arises is how effects should be given when dealing with prior adjudications. Most countries agree to recognize some effects determined by foreign jurisdictions, as long as those determinations meet standards that guarantee proper integration of the foreign decision into the domestic setting. These …
Choice Of The Applicable Law In United States Maritime Law And The Venezuelan System, Daniel Eric Vielleville
Choice Of The Applicable Law In United States Maritime Law And The Venezuelan System, Daniel Eric Vielleville
LLM Theses and Essays
International maritime transport is an important means of transport in international trade. The vessels used in international maritime transport face unique dangers which necessitate maritime law that addresses the perils associated with maritime transport. Maritime law concerns many jurisdictions, which creates a special interest for the study of conflict of laws. There are private international maritime laws in addition to multilateral treaties. This paper analyzes the international approach that the United States takes in maritime conflict of laws, and compares it with the Venezuelan system of private international law. Venezuela is a civil law country with old maritime legislation which …
To Defer Or Not To Defer: A Study Of Federal Circuit Court Deference To District Court Rulings On State Law, Dan T. Coenen
To Defer Or Not To Defer: A Study Of Federal Circuit Court Deference To District Court Rulings On State Law, Dan T. Coenen
Scholarly Works
Federal courts of appeals often grant special deference to district court rulings on matters of state law. This practice is important. It is also ill-conceived. This Article explores this "rule of deference." Section I considers the roots and reach of the rule. Together with the Appendices to this Article, it seeks to detail for practitioners, commentators, and judges the way the rule operates in the courts. The remaining sections of this Article consider the wisdom of the rule of deference. Section II argues that the rule lacks a sound rationale and Section III urges that the rule has bad effects …
Forum Shopping In Products Liability Actions: A Comparison Between The United States, France And Germany, Lothar W. Baum
Forum Shopping In Products Liability Actions: A Comparison Between The United States, France And Germany, Lothar W. Baum
LLM Theses and Essays
The goal of this research is to state the current situation concerning products liability in the United States, the Federal Republic of Germany and more briefly, France and to compare the different systems. Emphasis will be given to the substantive laws, in particular to the new EC Directive and its adoption in the Federal Republic of Germany. Also, it will discuss the current German law, since this will be valid for all claims initiated before the enactment of the new ProdHaftG. Further, based on the previous analysis, it will be shown where a consumer is in the most favorable position …
International Concurrent Jurisdiction: Dealing With The Possibility Of Parallel Proceedings In The Courts Of More Than One Country, Bernd U. Graf
International Concurrent Jurisdiction: Dealing With The Possibility Of Parallel Proceedings In The Courts Of More Than One Country, Bernd U. Graf
LLM Theses and Essays
This thesis will examine how legal systems deal with the phenomenon of multiple assumptions of jurisdiction over the same dispute. We will first look at public international law rules on jurisdiction, regulating (or not regulating) conflicting states' interests, which will give only modest guidance. In view of those rules, the subsequent chapters will deal with various national laws relating to the possibility of parallel proceedings in the courts of more than one country, and thus the possibility of the emergence of conflicting orders or judgments.
Equal Protection Limitations On Choice Of Law Decisions, Anne-Marie Witters
Equal Protection Limitations On Choice Of Law Decisions, Anne-Marie Witters
LLM Theses and Essays
In this paper, the author seeks to clarify the implications of contemporary Fourteenth Amendment theory for state autonomy in deciding conflict cases, concentrating on state discrimination against non-residents and aliens. The author argues that laws which distinguish locals from residents of other states should be reviewed under strict scrutiny, just as laws that discriminate against aliens. Also U.S. choice of law methodologies from both past and present are discussed, with the conclusion that modern theories violate the Equal Protection Clause of their systematic preference for forum residents and parochial results. After a review of the European conflicts system, the choice …
Motion Pictures In American And International Copyright Law, Christof Siefarth
Motion Pictures In American And International Copyright Law, Christof Siefarth
LLM Theses and Essays
This thesis intends to examine some problems of motion pictures in American and international copyright law. Motion pictures are one of the most fascinating forms of communication and entertainment. They are of enormous commercial significance and are probably the most complex works in the field of copyright law. The American motion picture industry is heavily influential throughout the world. Therefore, the subject of this work will be mainly the American copyright law. Solutions of other legal systems are treated when they provide interesting alternatives or similarities.
The Law Governing Arbitration Agreements In International Trade, Daniele Lingua
The Law Governing Arbitration Agreements In International Trade, Daniele Lingua
LLM Theses and Essays
This paper on the law applicable to arbitration agreements will start with an examination of the provisions adopted in international conventions on arbitration. The reason for this approach lies in the fact that, when national statutes contain choic of law rules specifically applicable to arbitration agreements, such rules tend to conform to those adopted by the conventions. However, problems of incompatibility between national choice of law provisions and the interpretation of international conventions may arise in the case of those countries which extend their general choice of law rules regarding contracts to rules concerning international arbitration agreements. Finally, this paper …
The Proper Law Of Business Torts, Georg H. Kutschelis
The Proper Law Of Business Torts, Georg H. Kutschelis
LLM Theses and Essays
This paper's purpose is to define as clearly as possible the law that best fits business torts which bring into play two or more systems of law. The definition of "tort" being another field in which scholarly activity has not led to a consensus, and the qualification of "business tort" considerably adding to the vagueness of the subject, it is sufficient here to state that the thrust of this analysis is on choice-of-law problems. But in order to test the resulting rule or method cases will be selected both from the frequent tort cases arising out of accidents and from …
Choice-Of-Law Problems In Wrongful Death Actions Arising From Aircraft Accidents, Rolf-Peter Hoenen
Choice-Of-Law Problems In Wrongful Death Actions Arising From Aircraft Accidents, Rolf-Peter Hoenen
LLM Theses and Essays
This thesis examines choice-of-law problems in wrongful death actions arising from multistate aircraft accident litigation. Although federal law extensively regulates air traffic safety and carrier operations, compensation for dependents of accident victims remains governed by divergent state wrongful death statutes, creating acute conflict-of-laws difficulties. The study traces the historical dominance of the lex loci delicti doctrine and demonstrates its particular inadequacy in aviation cases, where the situs of a crash bears little rational connection to the parties. It then surveys judicial escape devices — procedural characterization, public policy exceptions, and renvoi — as well as the modern approaches that followed …
