The Extraterritorial Application Of The Economic Espionage Act Of 1996, J. Thomas Coffin

UC Law SF International Law Review

On October 11, 1996, President Clinton signed the Economic Espionage Act of 1996 (EEA) into law. The Act was designed to protect trade secrets against theft or economic espionage. It applies to trade secrets possessed by businesses operating in the United States, whether foreign or domestic.

This Note analyzes the application of the Act beyond the territory of the United States. This Note first compares the extraterritorial applications of the statutes in two areas of federal criminal law: antitrust and securities law. In these two areas, courts have had substantial opportunities to apply statutory provisions to conduct occurring abroad, and …

Noriega V. Hernández Colón: Political Persecution Under Therapeutic Scrutiny, Roberto P. Aponte Toro

Seattle University Law Review

Therapeutic jurisprudence is a relatively young school of thought. One of its major attractions to the academic community has been its claim that society could use the law, both at the legislative and adjudicatory level, to promote the psychological well-being of those affected by the law. In this commentary, I want to share a little known decision of the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico regarding police persecution of political minorities. It is my contention that looking at this decision through the lens of therapeutic jurisprudence, one may discover a serious effort by the court to heal very divisive wounds on …

Animal Welfare Law In Canada And Europe, Elaine L. Hughes, Christiane Meyer

Animal Law Review

The idea that animals are entities that deserve protection, irrespective of their utility to man, is firmly grounded in the Enlightenment. The principle that a creature's need for considerate treatment did not depend on the possession of a soul or the ability to reason, but on the capacity to feel pain was formulated and debated at that time. The debate continues today-Canada is in the midst of examining its own ethical, philosophical and legal beliefs about animal welfare and cruelty. This article examines the current state of animal welfare and cruelty laws and recent attempts through federal legislation to modernize …

New Zealand's Animal Welfare Act: What Is Its Value Regarding Non-Human Hominids?, Paula Brosnahan

Animal Law Review

New Zealand's Animal Welfare Act has been touted as a world first in great ape protection, and that may be true. However, it has also been depicted as an act conferring basic legal rights on great apes, and that is an exaggeration. Challenging the legal status of great apes in any jurisdiction requires sound, factual propositions. Therefore, the background and breadth of New Zealand's protections must be understood before proponents of change employ them as precedent. This essay offers a brief history of the non-human hominid provisions of New Zealand's Animal Welfare Act.

The Jurisdiction Of The International Criminal Court Over Nationals Of Non-Party States, Madeline Morris

Faculty Scholarship

This article questions the validity under international law of the provisions of the Treaty for an International Criminal Court (ICC) that purport to give the ICC jurisdiction over nationals of states that are not parties to the Treaty. The article examines two facially plausible theories for the validity of ICC jurisdiction over non-party nationals: that the ICC may exercise universal jurisdiction delegated to it by states parties, and that the ICC may exercise territorial jurisdiction delegated to it by states parties. Each of those theories is found to be flawed. The article then questions whether there is in fact any …

Welcoming Remarks--April 6, 2000, Michael A. Cooper

Fordham International Law Journal

The speaker welcomes the attendees, who come from fourteen different countries, and outlines five common characteristics that unite those present. First, there is a significant number of people in our societies who live below the poverty line and who routinely have their legal needs overlooked. Second, the attendees recognize that basic human needs are protected by legal rights, and legal assistance and access to justice are necessary to vindicate those rights. Third, the resources currently available to help the poor address their legal needs are woefully inadequate in almost all of the countries represented. Fourth, those meeting today share a …

Sovereignty, Human Rights, And Self-Determination: The Meaning Of International Law, Father Robert Araujo

Fordham International Law Journal

This Essay contends that popular sovereignty and the other rights enumerated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) are inextricably linked. When popular sovereignty is criticized, what will become of the other rights? The principal goal of this Essay, then, is to examine the concept of sovereignty as it relates to the practice and protection of human rights issues grounded in international law. This examination should reveal the existence of more than one kind of sovereignty: that of the State and that of the people (the nation or nations). This Essay's goal is to demonstrate that a State is …

Berlin Diary: Jewish Legal History In Germany's Capital, Jeffery I. Roth

Fordham International Law Journal

This Essay chronicles the author’s activities in Berlin. It includes the contents of the seminar, detailed on a class-by-class basis, which he hopes may serve others as a useful outline for a Jewish legal history course. In addition, in our era of increasingly globalized legal education, some may find accounts of American law professors' visits abroad useful in their own right. The Essay also includes the author’s observations of a reunited but still divided city and its people. In the broader context, he offers the diary of his visit as a window into the process of German-Jewish rapprochement, a process …
