The Mandatory Use Of National Language In Indonesia And Belgium: An Obstacle To International Contracting?, Priskila Pratita Penasthika
Indonesia Law Review
Law Number 24 of 2009 on National Flag, Language, Emblem, and Anthem of Indonesia requires that any contract involving an Indonesian party must be drafted in Indonesian. In applying this law, the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia, in Nine AM v. PT Bangun Karya Pratama Lestari judgment, annulled a loan agreement because it was considered to violate the language requirement. Although claiming to strengthen the use of Indonesian language in a contract, this judgment underscores a potential risk of voidance a foreign party face in entering into an agreement drafted in a foreign language when contracting with an …

Institutional Death: Effects Of Carceral State And Education Institution On Black Men, Shontoria D. Pratt
African American Studies - All Scholarship
African American men have been dying at an alarming rate for many years. Issues such as violence, prison, education success rates, and health related issues, as well as institutional injustice, have been significant factors in these physical and mental deaths of African American men. The purpose of this research is to investigate the correlation, if any, between the quality of life of African American men in urban cities and their level of Afrocentric knowledge. To what extent does the exposure of Afrocentric knowledge affect the views or help African American men avoid these deaths? This research will present preliminary ideas …

The Impact Of H.B. 214: A Critical Analysis Of The Texas "Rape Insurance" Bill, Lucie Arvallo
St. Mary's Law Journal
Texas House Bill 214 (H.B. 214) is subject to challenge under the Supreme Court precedent protecting a woman’s right to choose. Passed in 2017, H.B. 214 regulates Texas insurance markets by prohibiting coverage for an elective abortion unless a woman affirmatively opts into such coverage through a separate contract and pays a separate premium. Similar restrictions on insurance coverage for elective abortion in other states have been met with mixed results in the courts. What sets H.B. 214 apart from other regulations of insurance coverage for abortion is that it does not include any exceptions for abortions in cases of …

Marijuana Business Attorneys And The Professional Deference Standard, Andrew Dixon
Arkansas Law Review
Imagine that you practice as an attorney in the State of Arkansas. A client solicits your advice about opening a marijuana dispensary or cultivation center. The client might want you to assist him in filing a dispensary application with the State. On the other hand, she might want you to negotiate a commercial lease or to provide services to ensure compliance with municipal zoning laws. Although Arkansas voters approved a constitutional amendment permitting medical marijuana sales, you provide a clear warning to your client: possessing, manufacturing, selling, and distributing marijuana remains a federal crime. After these precautions, however, you proceed …

Suffocate Or Innovate: An Observation Of California's Regulatory Framework For Cryptocurrency, Jane Kim
Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review
Transactions involving cryptocurrency are rapidly gaining traction in the United States, prompting the need for regulation. Hence, California legislators proposed the cryptocurrency regulation Assembly Bill 1123. However, based upon the outcome of a virtually identical regulation in New York, this proposed bill is theoretically projected to stifle business growth and potential innovation. This Article focuses on one approach to remedy this by advocating for reform at the federal level and recommending the utilization of the regulatory sandbox as a framework for future regulation.

Legal Jurisdiction And Virtual Social Life, Paul Schiff Berman
Catholic University Journal of Law and Technology
Social lives are increasingly unmoored from physical location. 21st century developments in social media, virtual worlds, augmented reality, electronic financial transactions, drones, robotics, and artificial intelligence allow human beings to interact in more and more robust ways at a physical remove from their location. Meanwhile, the ubiquity of multinational corporations, global supply chains, and cloud-based data all mean that our lives are more likely to be affected by activity that is spatially distant. Virtual effects often replace direct territorial effects.
Three important consequences flow from this ubiquitous technology-enabled, data-driven virtual global societal activity. First, the territorial location of data …

Recognition By Any Other Name: Article 3 Of The Singapore Convention On Mediation, Timothy Schnabel
Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution
The heart of the Singapore Convention is contained in its third article. Other parts of the treaty's text, such as Article 1 (addressing the scope of the Convention), consumed more hours of the negotiations, and Article 5 (addressing grounds for refusal) will likely be the focus of most of the eventual litigation regarding the Convention's application to particular disputes. Moreover, most of the Convention's fifteen other articles are longer and more detailed than Article 3. Yet only Article 3 imposes affirmative obligations on Parties to the Convention. All other articles merely play supporting roles, such as placing boundaries on the …

Singapore Convention Defences Based On Mediator's Misconduct: Articles 5.1(E) & (F), Michel Kallipetis
Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution
At the February 2019 ICC Mediation Competition in Paris, Damien Cote from Canada and David Lewis from New York moderated a "debate" on the Singapore Convention. One of the panellists launched into a full-scale attack on the Convention, in which he dismissed it on the basis that the "whole document resembled the New York Convention and was redolent of arbitration rather than mediation." The speaker focused on Article 5 and the Grounds for Refusing Relief, and he was particularly critical of Articles 5.1(e) and (f). He expressed his view that these articles were apposite to the setting aside of an …
