The Migingo Island Dispute Between Kenya And Uganda, Christopher R. Rossi

Brooklyn Journal of International Law

Migingo is an islet in Lake Victoria, half the size of a football field. For most of its history, it had no significance. Recent adulterations to the lake’s water table in an age of climate change and to its biology in the Anthropocene age have altered the utility of the islet. It now sits atop the lake’s most fertile fishing ground and serves as a strategic off shore port straddling the water border between Uganda and Kenya. Uganda and Kenya dispute its sovereignty. Ownership of this microdot threatens bilateral peace and impacts regional security and economic development discussions. This article …

Office Of The Attorney General V. Justice Court (Escalante), 133 Nev. Adv. Op. 12 (Apr. 6, 2017), Kristopher Kalkowski

Nevada Supreme Court Summaries

The Court determined that NRS 30.130, which concerns the Attorney General’s right to be notified and an opportunity to be heard in constitutional challenges to Nevada statutes, does not apply to criminal proceedings. Instead, NRS 30.130 only refers to a proceeding for declaratory relief, which is treated as a civil action.

Trademarks And Digital Goods, Mark P. Mckenna, Lucas S. Osborn

Journal Articles

Technology increasingly allows for digital distribution of goods that once might once have been offered in physical form, radically separating the design and production processes. That separation has potentially destabilizing consequences for trademark law, which overwhelmingly has been oriented toward indications of the origin of physical goods. For one thing, digitization brings much more of trademark law into contact with the Supreme Court's Dastar decision, raising difficult questions about whether, and under what circumstances, digital files count as “goods” for Lanham Act purposes. More broadly, a world of increasing digitization implicates concerns about the boundaries of trademark law vis-à-vis other …

Reposisi Pemberian Kuasa Dalam Konsep “Volmacht Dan Lastgeving” Berdasarkan Cita Hukum Pancasila, Pieter E. Latumeten

Jurnal Hukum & Pembangunan

The dynamic development of mandate as a contract that brings forth representation is disaccord with the definition and norm of lastgeving under Indonesian Civil Code. This research has a goal to unravel such issue by pointing out of that there is a need for repositioning in the form concept renewal for the definition and norm of mandate contract under Indonesian Civil Code that is line with our philosophical foundation (rechtsidee), which is Pancasila. Juridical normative methodology carries out of the repositioning by examining the principles, its own concept as a postivie law and meta juridical, and with the help of …

Putusan Pengadilan Pidana Sebagai Dasar Pengajuan Gugatan Perbuatan Melawan Hukum Terkait Pelaksanaan Uang Pengganti, Sri Laksmi Anindita, Lazuardi Adnan

Jurnal Hukum & Pembangunan

Since Indonesia has known and enforced the concept of tort, an act regarded as tort is not only actions contrary to the law, but an act that violates the principles of propriety, the principles of thoroughness and cautionary principle also included in tort. Around 2010, it was found that the act of not fulfilling the decision of court which has binding power associated for compensatory money in cases of corruption becomes the basis of a tort lawsuit, where the problem is that court verdict is not a main legal source for countries which adopt civil law such as Indonesia. Therefore, …

The Limits Of Performance-Based Regulation, Cary Coglianese

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Performance-based regulation is widely heralded as a superior approach to regulation. Rather than specifying the actions regulated entities must take, performance-based regulation instead requires the attainment of outcomes and gives flexibility in how to meet them. Despite nearly universal acclaim for performance-based regulation, the reasons supporting its use remain largely theoretical and conjectural. Owing in part to a lack of a clear conceptual taxonomy, researchers have yet to produce much empirical research documenting the strengths and weaknesses of performance-based regulation. In this Article, I provide a much-needed conceptual framework for understanding and assessing performance-based regulation. After defining performance-based regulation and …

Donor Advised Funds: Charitable Spending Vehicles For 21st Century Philanthropy, Roger Colinvaux

Washington Law Review

The donor advised fund (DAF) is changing longstanding giving norms in United States philanthropy. DAF contributions now account for around 8.4% of giving by individuals in the U.S. Over half of those contributions go to national DAF sponsors that have relationships with large commercial investment firms like Fidelity, Vanguard, and Schwab. This Article seeks to advance the understanding of the donor advised fund and to address two of the main policy questions: whether to require a mandatory distribution of funds by DAFs and their sponsoring organizations and how to respond to the increased use of DAFs for noncash charitable contributions. …
