The Secret Of The Court In The Netherlands, Niels F. Van Manen Jan 2000

The Secret Of The Court In The Netherlands, Niels F. Van Manen

Seattle University Law Review

The procedural organization of the legal system in the Netherlands is quite different from the North American model. The Dutch legal system forbids the publication of dissenting opinions. There is even a veil of ignorance about unanimity, created by what is "secret of the court": justice is handed out in black and white terms, regardless of the judges' motivations. This might create an image of unity and unanimity, and thus promote the legitimacy of jurisprudence, however, this secret of the court also prevents the effects of therapeutic jurisprudence, since those who have "won," but even more so those who have …

CAO General 1999-Present

In 1998 World Bank Group President Wolfensohn created the position of the Compliance Advisor/Ombudsman (CAO) for the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA). The CAO - like the Inspection Panel in the World Bank — is designed to provide a mechanism for local communities adversely affected by IFC and MIGA supported projects to raise then" concerns. The CAO is independent of line management and reports directly to the President. In addition to providing a route for local communities to raise issues and complaints about specific projects, the office is intended to provide independent and objective advice …

The Dichotomy Between Standards And Rules, Mary C. Daly Jan 1999

The Dichotomy Between Standards And Rules, Mary C. Daly

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The differences in perception between U.S. and foreign lawyer codes of conduct is more than simply a matter of academic interest or curiosity. It is only a matter of time until the WTO turns its attention to the codes, examining whether and to what extent they create illegitimate regulatory barriers to trade in legal services. As the participants in the Forum on Transnational Legal Practice have come to realize, if the legal profession is to play a meaningful role in cross-border regulation, it must seize the initiative, much as the CCBE did in 1988 with the adoption of the CCBE …

CAO Creation Pre-1999

At the Fall meeting in 1998, Mr. James Wolfensohn provided a draft proposed Terms of Reference for the Compliance Advisor/Ombudsman. The Board of Directors and the NGOs decided that if the proposed CAO could be made more independent and include compliance, they would not pursue the Panel concept. The Archive includes the Initial CAO ToR (Sept. 24, 1998), the Final ToR sent to applicants (Oct. 1998), the Cover Letter to the Search Committee (Dec. 1, 1998), and Talking Points about the CAO position (Sept. 1998).
