Brief 4: Lessons From The Multilateral Trading System For Reforming The Architecture Of The International Environmental Regime, 2012 University of Berne
Brief 4: Lessons From The Multilateral Trading System For Reforming The Architecture Of The International Environmental Regime, Thomas Cottier, Manfred Elsig, Judith Wehrli
Governance and Sustainability Issue Brief Series
Recent studies on environmental regimes suggest that important lessons and policy recommendations may be drawn from the functioning of the multilateral trading regime. This brief compares the needs and goals of the trade and environment regimes, and discusses how insights from over sixty years of experience of the multilateral trading system might provide ideas for redesigning the architecture of the international environmental regime. It further calls for a better dialogue and improved complementarities between the two fields in order to enhance coherence within international law.

Pace International Law Review Online Companion
The main hypothesis of this article is that the Vienna Convention on the International Sale of Goods has the potential to act as a catalyst for the economy of the UK on its way out of the recession and, therefore, should be ratified, as it will strongly affect the development of the SME sector. This hypothesis will be questioned and evaluated throughout the article.
In Part II of the article, the importance of the SMEs for the current economy of the UK will be assessed. Together with Part I, Part II will form the prism through which the remainder of …

Canada And Israel: Cultivating Fairness Of Use, 2012 Simon Fraser University
Canada And Israel: Cultivating Fairness Of Use, Meera Nair
Joint PIJIP/TLS Research Paper Series
Despite global trends to expand the ambit of copyright, Canada and Israel both show promise in cultivating the principal of fairness when exercising exceptions to copyright. Their journeys were led by their highest courts; each sought to shift the dialogue of exceptions from stringent allowance to robust application. Both countries began from the rigidity of fair dealing and considered expansion into the realm of fair use. This exploration is intriguing given that both countries show an uncanny similarity in terms of the manner by which their nation states came into being, their ensuing diversity of population, the mixture of common …

The Morning After: Trips-Plus, Ftas And Wikileaks - Fresh Insights On The Implementation And Enforcement Of Ip Protection In Developing Countries, Mohammed El Said
Joint PIJIP/TLS Research Paper Series
Leaked diplomatic cables related to the United States’ foreign policy implementing and enforcing intellectual property in developing countries draw a bleak picture. U.S. interest groups and local agents collaborate to achieve higher levels of intellectual property protection without taking into consideration the public interest and consumer rights of local communities. This "act of state-sponsored violence," as some have proclaimed it, jeopardizes the lives of millions of citizens across the globe. It also undermines the foundations of the global multilateral trading regime and its institutions, particularly the World Trade Organization (WTO), which was created by the global community in 1995 in …
Positive Proposals For Treatment Of Online Intermediaries, 2012 Yale Law School
Positive Proposals For Treatment Of Online Intermediaries, Margot E. Kaminski
Joint PIJIP/TLS Research Paper Series
In the past several years of free trade agreement negotiations, a number of proposals for establishing an international standard of liability for copyright infringement by online intermediaries have emerged. These proposals consistently lack consideration of their implications for Internet users. Building off a public stakeholder presentation given by the author at the ninth round of negotiations of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Agreement, held in Lima, Peru, this paper aims to identify both general principles and specific user-protecting provisions that should be considered when discussing proposals for intermediary liability.

Transfer Pricing: Data Dumps And Comparability - Us, Uk, Canadian, And Australian Case Studies, 2012 Boston University School of Law
Transfer Pricing: Data Dumps And Comparability - Us, Uk, Canadian, And Australian Case Studies, Richard Thompson Ainsworth, Andrew Shact
Faculty Scholarship
Comparability is the heart of transfer pricing. The OECD, U.K., Canadian, Australian, and U.S. transfer pricing rules all echo one another on how critically important the comparability analysis is. Performing this analysis and proving comparability, however, is a demanding exercise.
What makes proving comparability so difficult is that the analysis is two sided. Both controlled and uncontrolled transactions must be thoroughly analyzed. Just as much effort needs to be applied to determine the functions, contract terms, risks and the economic conditions for the unrelated party comparables as is spent on analyzing the related parties (taxpayers).
But there is more to …

Training Law Students To Be International Transactional Lawyers-Using An Extended Simulation To Educate Law Students About Business Transactions, Daniel D. Bradlow, Jay Gary Finkelstein
The Journal of Business, Entrepreneurship & the Law
The article describes an innovative approach to educating law students about the legal issues and the role of lawyers in negotiating international business transactions. It is based on our experiences in developing and teaching a course that is built around a semester-long simulation exercise and taught in counterpart classes at two law schools. The students in these classes represent the opposing parties and negotiate a cross-border business transaction involving a joint venture agreement, a licensing agreement and a long-term supply contract. The students, who attend either the American University Washington College of Law or the Centre for Energy Mineral and …

Infuturia Global Ltd. V. Sequus Pharmaceuticals, Inc.: The Breadth Of Removal Jurisdiction Under 9 U.S.C. § 205, Conor Burden Leonard
Golden Gate University Law Review
In Infuturia Global Ltd. v. Sequus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit analyzed the scope of federal removal jurisdiction over matters related to certain international arbitration agreements and awards. In doing so, the Ninth Circuit articulated a broad standard to determine whether a federal court is an appropriate forum to hear a dispute related to a foreign arbitration agreement or award. The Ninth Circuit interpreted the key language of the relevant provision to permit removal whenever there is an arbitral award or agreement that “could conceivably affect the outcome of the plaintiff’s suit.”
The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act: Taking A Bite Out Of Bribery In International Business Transactions, 2012 Fordham Law School
The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act: Taking A Bite Out Of Bribery In International Business Transactions, Carl Pacini
Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law
Enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) has reached an all-time high. FCPA violations can result in many significant costs, both monetary and non-monetary. FCPA compliance has become a top corporate governance issue and has triggered shareholder litigation, tax investigations, and money laundering probes. While many corporate managers, financial officers, board members, internal and external auditors, and forensic accountants are aware of the FCPA’s basic objectives and mandates, many may not do an adequate job of protecting their firms and/or clients from the dangerous consequences that can result from FCPA non-compliance. The purposes of this paper are to: (1) …
