The Creation Of Immovable Real Rights By Testament In Kosovo: A Comparative Approach, Bedri Bahtiri, Kastriote Vlahna 2026 University of Prishtina

The Creation Of Immovable Real Rights By Testament In Kosovo: A Comparative Approach, Bedri Bahtiri, Kastriote Vlahna

Journal of Civil Law Studies

The establishment of real rights over immovable property constitutes a central issue in contemporary civil law. This paper investigates whether a testament (testamentum) may function not merely as an instrument for the mortis causa transfer of existing real rights but also as a juridical title (titulus iuris) capable of constituting new real rights (constitutio iuris). The analysis emphasizes the doctrinal distinction between the transfer of ownership (translatio dominii) and the creation of rights (constitutio iuris) within the legal framework of Kosovo, further examined through a comparative lens with the German Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (BGB) and the French Code Civil.
Drawing on …


Jurisprudential Approach To The Concept Of Intent In Greek Law 3869/2010 (Personal Bankruptcy) With Comparative Perspectives, Andreas-Nikolaos Koukoulis 2026 Louisiana State University Law Center

Jurisprudential Approach To The Concept Of Intent In Greek Law 3869/2010 (Personal Bankruptcy) With Comparative Perspectives, Andreas-Nikolaos Koukoulis

Journal of Civil Law Studies

Under Law 3869/2010 in Greece, fraud plays a central role in determining eligibility for debt relief. The law aims to protect individuals from banking practices that have led them to over-indebtedness, except for those who know they cannot or do not wish to repay their debts. Fraud is defined as a subjective element that must be proven by the creditor, highlighting behaviors such as willful avoidance of payments despite having the means to do so. The evaluation of the debtor's actions is examined for intent, particularly considering factors such as the debtor's lack of experience or understanding. Greek courts emphasize …

La Place De La Loi Dans Le Code Civil De 1804 : Regard Rétrospectif, Mustapha Mekki 2026 Louisiana State University Law Center

La Place De La Loi Dans Le Code Civil De 1804 : Regard Rétrospectif, Mustapha Mekki

Journal of Civil Law Studies

La loi était conçue en 1804 comme le modèle normatif. Elle était la reine des sources et remplissait une noble fonction pédagogique et morale. Ce constat pouvait être fait également du code civil louisianais. Avec le temps, la concurrence entre les sources, le pluralisme juridique, la globalisation, le dogme de l’efficacité, ont-ils eu raison de cette fonction modèle attribuée à la loi au début du 19e siècle ? Cette étude s’efforce d’exposer cette loi mise à l’épreuve et de présenter ce qu’il reste de ce modèle normatif dans notre paysage juridique.

The Rise Of Options Contracts In Sports, The Post-Murphy Regulatory Conundrum, And Implications On Federalism, Scott Barboza 2026 University of New Hampshire

The Rise Of Options Contracts In Sports, The Post-Murphy Regulatory Conundrum, And Implications On Federalism, Scott Barboza

UNH Sports Law Review

The Supreme Court’s decision in Murphy v. N.C.A.A. dismantled the federal prohibition on state-authorized sports betting and returned its primary regulatory authority over to the states. Following Murphy, states adopted widely varying sports-betting regimes. At the same time, advances in financial technology and the growing popularity of prediction markets created a new form of event-based speculation operating outside the traditional sportsbook model. Platforms such as Kalshi began offering “yes-no” contracts tied to sporting outcomes through federally regulated exchanges overseen by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, framing such products not as wagers, but as financial derivatives governed by the Commodity Exchange …

The Disproportionate Impact Of Legal Deserts: A Policy Proposal To Address The Legal Needs Of Rural Nevadans, Madelyn Wold 2026 University of Denver

The Disproportionate Impact Of Legal Deserts: A Policy Proposal To Address The Legal Needs Of Rural Nevadans, Madelyn Wold

Undergraduate Theses, Capstones, and Recitals

Despite the large number of attorneys in the United States, the disproportionate concentration of attorneys in urban areas leaves rural residents to navigate the complex legal system on their own. This uneven distribution creates ‘legal deserts’, or areas where residents lack access to attorneys. The Southwestern United States has especially dire legal deserts, and Nevada is no exception. While defendants in criminal matters are guaranteed legal representation, parties in civil legal issues are not granted the same right to representation. Civil legal issues largely impact vulnerable populations and can have profound impacts on individuals’ family, economic circumstances, and physical wellbeing. …


International Commitments Of Japan’S Prefectures With Foreign States: Empirical Patterns, Authority, And Legal Nature, Yuhei Matsuyama 2026 Brooklyn Law School

International Commitments Of Japan’S Prefectures With Foreign States: Empirical Patterns, Authority, And Legal Nature, Yuhei Matsuyama

Brooklyn Journal of International Law

Under international law, sovereign states are the primary subjects of rights and obligations and possess the authority to conclude treaties. Domestic constitutions typically allocate foreign affairs powers to national governments. Nonetheless, subnational governments—including prefectures—regularly engage in international activities. In some federal systems, constituent units are expressly authorized by their constitutions to conclude international agreements. By contrast, the Constitution of Japan vests foreign affairs authority exclusively in the national executive and is silent on the authority of prefectural governments. This Article uncovers and analyzes approximately 180 previously unexamined international commitments concluded by Japanese prefectural governments with foreign states, identified through information …
