Maneuvering Modernity: Family Law As A Battle Field In Colonial Taiwan (1895-1945), Yun-Ru Chen 2013 Harvard University

Maneuvering Modernity: Family Law As A Battle Field In Colonial Taiwan (1895-1945), Yun-Ru Chen

2013 New England Association for Asian Studies Conference

Twenty five years after launching its own legal modernization in response to Western imperialism, Japan imposed a modern legal system upon its first colony, Taiwan. In accordance with the “respecting old custom” colonial policy, the Japanese created a system called Taiwanese customary law, a mixture of imperial Chinese laws, local customs and European legal concepts, and gradually implemented its newly adopted European-style Meiji Civil Code (1898). However, even since the late 1910s when the colonial policy changed into “full-flag assimilation,” family law remained an exception to the transplantation of Japanese laws. That did not, however, mean that family law was …


Administrative Restructuring And Renewable Energy: Best Legal Practices In Developing Economies, Steven Ferrey 2013 Suffolk University Law School

Administrative Restructuring And Renewable Energy: Best Legal Practices In Developing Economies, Steven Ferrey

Suffolk University Law School Faculty Works

In the next decade, there will be unprecedented, extensive investment in electrification in developing nations. Once installed, those generation facilities will remain in place for 40 years or longer. The Kyoto Clean Development Mechanism (“CDM”) is primarily encouraging CDM projects outside the electric sector, which raises questions about their longevity of impact on CO2 reduction. With extensive commitments now to the new Green Climate Fund, more attention to best legal practices for green electrification options becomes more important. Since the power industry is a regulated industry in every country, legislative and regulatory initiatives that incorporate “best practices” for encouraging renewable …

The Liberty Of The Church: Source, Scope And Scandal, Patrick McKinley Brennan 2013 1567

The Liberty Of The Church: Source, Scope And Scandal, Patrick Mckinley Brennan

Working Paper Series

This article was presented at a conference, and is part of a symposium, on "The Freedom of the Church in the Modern Era." The article argues that the liberty of the Church, libertas Ecclesiae, is not a mere metaphor, pace the views of some other contributions to the conference and symposium and of the mentality mostly prevailing over the last five hundred years. The argument is that the Church and her directly God-given rights are ontologically irreducible in a way that the rights of, say, the state of California or even of the United States are not. Based on a …

Constitutional Borrowing As Jurisprudential And Political Doctrine In Shri D.K. Basu V. State Of West Bengal, Sam F. Halabi 2013 University of Tulsa College of Law

Constitutional Borrowing As Jurisprudential And Political Doctrine In Shri D.K. Basu V. State Of West Bengal, Sam F. Halabi

Notre Dame Journal of International & Comparative Law

The discipline of comparative constitutional law today is focused in significant part on the study of how and why judges use foreign precedent. Scholars debate the propriety of using foreign precedent as “authority,” circumstances under which such use is consistent with democracy (or a product of democratization), and which constitutional traditions may derive the greatest benefit from comparison. While comparative law theorists have long reflected on, and struggled with, a standard disciplinary vocabulary to describe what judges do when they engage in “comparative constitutional law,” the existing scholarship generally distributes judges’ use of foreign precedent into one of three modes …
