Global Issues In Criminal Law, Linda Carter, Christopher L. Blakesley, Peter J. Henning

McGeorge School of Law Teaching Materials

This book provides an introduction to issues arising in international and transnational crimes, giving students a broader perspective on a developing area of the law. Faculty and students have access to material from domestic and international sources. The book builds on a number of subjects treated in the traditional criminal law class, such as mens rea, actus reus, accomplice and conspiratorial liability, and defenses, by analyzing three subjects of current interest: transnational crimes, terrorism, and genocide.


Global Issues In Employment Discrimination Law, Brian K. Landsberg, Samuel Estreicher Jan 2007

Global Issues In Employment Discrimination Law, Brian K. Landsberg, Samuel Estreicher

McGeorge School of Law Teaching Materials

This casebook emphasizes primary materials (statutes, European Union directives, regulations, guidelines, and cases) that have been edited to facilitate classroom discussion. Topics include what employers are covered, including extraterritorial application; protected classes in Europe, Asia, South Africa and Mexico; types of unlawful discrimination; and remedies and enforcement mechanisms. The primary material is enhanced by brief notes and questions. The book can supplement a domestic-only employment discrimination law course, or serve as the basis of a stand-alone seminar, to advance the students' understanding of their own system and the kinds of issues they will face in an era of globalization.


From Mice To Men: Genetic Doping In International Sports, Kristin Jo Custer Jan 2007

From Mice To Men: Genetic Doping In International Sports, Kristin Jo Custer

UC Law SF International Law Review

Elite athletes have a long history of using various doping methods to enhance performance, from ingesting cocaine to injecting growth hormones. The World Anti-Doping Agency has taken a number of steps to rid sports of doping to level the playing field for all athletes. A new frontier in doping, however, is beginning to emerge in the form of genetic doping, whereby athletes may alter their genetic makeup to improve performance and speed recovery from injuries. This note discusses various legal implications and concerns of the rising threat of genetic doping to international sports.


You Say You Want A Revolution: Argentina's Recovered Factory Movement, Adam David Cole Jan 2007

You Say You Want A Revolution: Argentina's Recovered Factory Movement, Adam David Cole

UC Law SF International Law Review

The Recovered Factory Movement in Argentina - in which workers assume control and ownership of factories abandoned by their owners - has piqued the interest of social activists worldwide. However, despite a noticeable buzz within leftist circles, the movement has received little more than a cursory examination from its enthusiasts. This note attempts to nudge the discourse in a substantive direction by explaining the pertinent law, discussing the changes sought by the movement, and analyzing the accompanying policy issues. In so doing, this note is meant to serve as a starting point to encourage more exhaustive treatment of the relevant …


End-Of-Life Decisionmaking For Patients In Persistent Vegetative States: A Comparative Analysis, Suzanne Rode Jan 2007

End-Of-Life Decisionmaking For Patients In Persistent Vegetative States: A Comparative Analysis, Suzanne Rode

UC Law SF International Law Review

The attention that the Schiavo case has brought to end-of-life decisionmaking presents an opportunity to re-examine current laws addressing treatment for incompetent patients. In the United States, the right to self-determination is the primary value in making treatment decisions for incompetent patients. Alternatively the United Kingdom and Australia recognize a more objective "best interest" approach, and Japan places primary importance on the role of families in end-of-life decisionmaking. This note describes these different approaches to making treatment decisions for patients in persistent vegetative states and explores how the "best interest" and family-centered approaches can inform and improve healthcare law in …

The Hague Convention On The Civil Aspects Of International Childhood Abduction: Where Are We, And Where Do We Go From Here, Dan Beth Finkey Jan 2007

The Hague Convention On The Civil Aspects Of International Childhood Abduction: Where Are We, And Where Do We Go From Here, Dan Beth Finkey

UC Law SF International Law Review

Each year, hundreds innocent children are abducted from their homes and taken to foreign countries - victims of international parental abduction. In 1980, the U.N. developed The Hague Convention on Civil Aspects of International Childhood Abduction in order to protect children from wrongful international abduction, and to ensure that abducted children are safely returned to their homes. Although scholars laud the Convention as being generally effective, perverse results sometimes arise in the U.S., where courts are struggling to interpret the Convention's provisions so that they do not harm victims of domestic violence. This note suggests a novel way to improve …


Introduction, Steven R. Ratner Jan 2007

Introduction, Steven R. Ratner

Michigan Journal of International Law

The articles in this symposium issue of the Michigan Journal of International Law represent the product of a historic and path-breaking conference held at the University of Michigan Law School in February 2007. The two-day meeting brought together an extraordinary array of scholars and practitioners to examine closely the relevance of international law for the gathering of intelligence by states. Although this long-neglected topic has gained increased relevance since the use of more controversial intelligence-gathering methods by the United States as part of its "global war on terror," many of the legal issues are as old as the craft of …

Can Plaintiffs Use Multinational Environmental Treaties As Customary International Law To Sue Under The Alien Tort Statute?, Bradford Mank Jan 2007

Can Plaintiffs Use Multinational Environmental Treaties As Customary International Law To Sue Under The Alien Tort Statute?, Bradford Mank

Faculty Articles and Other Publications

The Alien Tort Statute (ATS) provides that the district courts shall have original jurisdiction over any civil action by an alien for a tort only, committed in violation of the law of nations or a treaty of the United States. Several decisions have rejected environmental claims under the ATS because they read the ATS narrowly to protect only the most fundamental international human rights such as those prohibiting torture or war crimes and have been unwilling to accept broader claims to a right to life or a healthy environment. In 2002, in Sarei v. Rio Tinto PLC, the District Court …


The Contribution Of The Special Court For Sierra Leone To The Development Of International Law, Charles Chernor Jalloh Jan 2007

The Contribution Of The Special Court For Sierra Leone To The Development Of International Law, Charles Chernor Jalloh

Faculty Publications

This article is the first major study examining whether the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL) has made, or is making, any contribution to the development of international law. The author concludes that it has. In this vein, he analyzes the creation of the Defence Office, the Legacy Phase Working Group and the Outreach Section to show that some of the structural novelties introduced through SCSL practice have proven to be worthy of replication within other international criminal courts. Taking as an example the controversy regarding the United Nations Security Council’s power to create ad hoc international criminal tribunals, the …
