Changing Tides: An Adaptable Prosecution Approach To Piracy’S Shifting Problem, Jessica Piquet

Although piracy off the coast of Somalia has captured worldwide attention, attacks in this region are decreasing while other regions are experiencing increases in pirate activity. This Note expands upon prior research into prosecution models for combatting piracy off the coast of Somalia to determine the adaptability and sustainability of these methods as applied to piracy in other regions. In examining the three most common prosecution models currently used and proposed (prosecution by domestic courts in regional states, prosecution by the capturing state or by a state with a significant nexus to the attack, and prosecution by a specialized piracy …

The Doha Development Dysfunction: Problems Of The Wto Multilateral Trading System, Erik M. Dickinson 2013 Cleveland State University

The Doha Development Dysfunction: Problems Of The Wto Multilateral Trading System, Erik M. Dickinson

Global Business Law Review

This Note argues that WTO member nations should use bilateral and regional trade agreements to solve key issues facing the Doha Round negotiations in order to lower trade barriers and foster a climate of free trade necessary to resurrect the stalled Doha Round. Several problems including the WTO’s lack of authority to enforce DSU decisions, protectionist trade measures, and the single undertaking have threatened the long term stability of the WTO’s multilateral trading system. However, if bilateral and regional trade agreements were used to solve key issues, much like they were used by the United States in the 1970s, WTO …


The Mighty Work Of Making Nations Happy: A Response To James Davison Hunter, Patrick McKinley Brennan 2013 1567

The Mighty Work Of Making Nations Happy: A Response To James Davison Hunter, Patrick Mckinley Brennan

Working Paper Series

This article is an invited response to James Davison Hunter’s much-discussed book To Change the World: The Irony, Tragedy, and Possibility of Christianity in the Late Modern World (Oxford University Press, 2010). Hunter, a sociologist at UVA and a believing Protestant, claims that law’s capacity to contribute to social change is “mostly illusory” and that Christians, therefore, should practice “faithful presence” in the public square rather than seek to influence law directly. My response is that it is, in fact, law’s stunning ability to alter and limit available choices that makes it an object of deservedly fierce contest. The wild …


Judicial Review For Enemy Fighters: The Court's Fateful Turn In "Ex Parte Quirin", The Nazi Saboteur Case, Andrew Kent 2013 Vanderbilt University Law School

Judicial Review For Enemy Fighters: The Court's Fateful Turn In "Ex Parte Quirin", The Nazi Saboteur Case, Andrew Kent

Vanderbilt Law Review

The last decade has seen intense disputes about whether alleged terrorists captured during the nontraditional post- 9/11 conflict with al Qaeda and affiliated groups may use habeas corpus to challenge their military detention or military trials. It is time to take a step back from 9/11 and begin to evaluate the enemy combatant legal regime on a broader, more systemic basis, and to understand its application to future conflicts. A leading precedent ripe for reconsideration is Ex parte Quirin, a World War II-era case in which the Supreme Court held that saboteurs admittedly employed by an enemy nation's military had …


U.S. Preservation Requirements And Eu Data Protection: Headed For Collision, Tania Abbas 2013 UC Law SF

U.S. Preservation Requirements And Eu Data Protection: Headed For Collision, Tania Abbas

UC Law SF International Law Review

Large, multinational corporations today preserve vast quantities of electronic data out of fear that they will suffer sanctions under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for destroying evidence that could be relevant to ongoing or pending litigation. But, as U.S. companies hoard data, European regulators are stepping up enforcement of privacy laws that require the systematic elimination of data that identifies individuals without their consent. These laws, such as EU Directive 95/46, on the Protection of Individuals with Regard to the Processing of Personal Data and on the Free Movement of Such Data, are arguably far-reaching and may affect data …


Administrative Procedure And Foreign Antibribery Enforcement: Restoring Balance Through Procedural Transparency, Daniel R. Wilson 2013 UC Law SF

Administrative Procedure And Foreign Antibribery Enforcement: Restoring Balance Through Procedural Transparency, Daniel R. Wilson

UC Law SF International Law Review

The Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission aggressively pursue and punish individuals and companies who bribe or attempt to bribe foreign officials in other countries pursuant to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (FCPA). However, the FCPA as it is currently interpreted by the Department of Justice has been the object of growing criticism. The United States Chamber of Commerce has argued that good faith efforts to comply with the law are often unsuccessful and that statutory amendments are necessary to "secure clarity" with respect to enforcement policy. A year ago, the Department of Justice responded …
