Interim Measures in International Commercial Arbitration: Past, Present and Future
Adhipathi, Sandeep
This work is a comparative study of the availability and handling of interim measures in international commercial arbitration in different legal systems. It studies the difference in handling of interim measures and the need for a harmonized structure. It also contains a review of the proposed draft amendment to the UNCITRAL Model Law and further suggests a different version for the amendment.

Google and Beyond: Finding Information Using Search Engines, and Evaluating Your Results
Holmes, Elizabeth Geesey
Searching the World Wide Web can be a daunting task. The Web has expanded at such a rapid pace that nobody knows exactly how large it is, but it is safe to say that there are many billions of Web pages residing on servers all over the world. Add to this scenario the task of evaluating information found on the web and choosing between the hundreds of different search tools available – including directories, search engines, meta-searchers, and specialized search engines – and the situation begins to feel overwhelming. Fortunately, learning a few essential concepts of Web searching and site evaluation, along with mastering a handful of the top-rated search tools, can make the picture much brighter. This paper will discuss the basics of a few search engines and provide examples of advanced searches that can be done to increase your searching efficiency. It will also address the task of assessing the quality of the information you find on the Internet. In addition it will list and describe places to go for more information on improving you Internet searching and evaluating skills.

The Legality of Humanitarian Intervention
Adjei, Eric
Intervention in the domestic affairs of sovereign states by other sovereign state(s) is one of the ‘hot’ issues in international law today. The issue is ‘hot’ because the concept of human rights is on the ascendancy whilst international law had from time immemorial held the concept of sovereignty and its key feature, the principle of non-interference in high esteem. In fact, the concept of sovereignty has long been regarded as the bedrock of international relations. However, the doctrine of unilateral humanitarian intervention allows state(s) to intervene in the domestic affairs of sovereign states in the event of massive human rights violations, usually in the form of mass murders and genocide. The doctrine of humanitarian intervention, therefore, is an affront to one of the core principles of international law, namely, “non-interference” and as such its validity is hotly contested. This paper examines the legality of the doctrine of unilateral humanitarian intervention.

Law in Books, Law in Action and Society
Watson, Alan
I consider myself a comparative legal historian and range widely over time and space. My interest is in private law. My general conclusions, developed over years, on law in society are three and are interconnected and are as follows: 1) Governments are not much interested in developing law especially not private law. They generally leave this to subordinate law makers to whom, however, they do not grant power to make law; 2) Even when famous legislators emerge, they are seldom interested in inserting a particular social message or even certainty into their laws; 3) Borrowing is the name of the legal game and is the most prominent means of legal change.

Class of 2005 Commencement
Olson, Theodore B.
Former U.S. Solicitor General Ted Olson’s address instructed graduates how NOT to succeed in their professional careers. He said, “Success has a very short half-life, so if you want to start down the path toward failure, you don’t have to do much except to let up on the accelerator and start to coast. … It is remarkable how thoroughly an organization can succeed if its members cheer on and help one another. It is equally amazing how swiftly an enterprise can be undermined, demoralized and sabotaged by a few acts of selfishness, envy or back-biting.” In conclusion, he said, “The bad news for virtually all of you who wish to fail is that in your case, you will have to work hard to do so. You are talented, hard-working and resourceful or wouldn’t be here today.”

The Question of Non-trade Issues in the WTO from a Developing Country Perspective
Alzamora, Cecilia
Many developed countries have proposed enlarging the mandate of the WTO to protect the environment and labor rights. The idea was fiercely challenged by third-world countries becoming an unsurpassable obstacle in the negotiations. For supporters of a stronger WTO, the TRIPS Agreement is a good example that underscores the need to back up the trading system to enforce standards. This analysis attempts to demonstrate that there are less controversial alternatives to achieve environmental and social goals. The different nature of IPR and labor rights makes the TRIPS Agreement a weak example to prove the goodness of enforcing standards through the WTO. Moreover, certain gaps in this Agreement provide developing countries wit enough reasons to believe that a broader WTO scope would serve to disguise protectionist measures. Overarching the WTO members with obligations other than those which led their incorporation would be an encroachment of national sovereignty. However, since trade affects other areas of international law grater coherence is necessary.

An Analysis of the Duty to Negotiate in Good Faith: Precontractual Liability and Preliminary Agreement
Arunachalam, Aarti
Good faith is one concept that defies a clear definition and courts have struggled to understand and establish its scope and ambit. This paper just seeks to analyze the scope of the duty of good faith as understood at the stage when actually no contract has been formed. Despite considerable support for the existence of a duty of good faith, courts in US have not been very receptive in recognizing the duty of good faith especially in the precontractual stage, especially when parties enter into preliminary agreement. Courts have relied on the a number of factors to determine the enforceability of such preliminary agreement. However it has been argued in this paper that Courts should do away with this fact specific inquiry and adopt a bright line rule. This would help promote uniformity and predictability in judicial decisions and also clarify the scope of duty of good faith.

September 2003 saw trade talks pursuing the Doha Development Agenda at the Cancún WTO Ministerial Meeting collapse, primarily over the disagreements between rich and developing countries regarding agriculture. Despite the great pessimism that ensued, on August 1, 2004, WTO negotiators from 147 countries announced a breakthrough in negotiations to liberalize trade in agricultural products. The most striking aspect of this new framework agreement is the proposed elimination of agricultural subsidies by rich countries in return for developing countries opening up their markets to more imports. At the same time, WTO dispute resolution panels have delivered stunning decisions against the U.S. cotton subsidy program and the European Union's sugar subsidies. Clearly agriculture trade policy will be a pivotal issue determining the failure or success of the Doha round. This conference featured noted experts from senior levels of government, the private sector, and the legal profession addressing current developments in multilateral negotiations and the WTO cases on agriculture and analyzing their impact on the future of the world agricultural market. It was presented on November 16, 2004, at the University of Georgia School of Law by the Dean Rusk Center–International, Comparative, and Graduate Legal Studies and the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.

Minority Shareholders and Oppression in Close Corporations: Contracting as an Effective Protection Device
Carneiro, Marcella Machado
Minority shareholders have been facing problems generated by oppressive behavior of majority shareholders since people started to incorporate. Due to unique characteristics of close corporations, those problems acquire a different dimension when this kind of enterprise is involved. The absence of market for its shares, the nature of the relationship among its partners, and the expectations of the participants on the business create an environment in which oppression develops extremely easily. Along with the help courts and legislators have been providing through increasingly flexible decisions and statutes, practice has shown that there is much to be done by the minority shareholders themselves. Indeed, by making use of proper contractual devices (what may be easily achieved with the help of impartial and diligent lawyers), shareholders can reach rather satisfactory levels of protection against oppression.

Multinational Corporations Facing the Varying Concepts of Jurisdiction : "forum non-conveniens", Contrasts between the Anglo-American and the European Law Systems
Buttin, Sandrine
This thesis compares the rules of jurisdiction applicable to multinational corporations within two legal systems. The Anglo-American system favors forum non conveniens, whereas, the European applies European Regulation (EC) No. 44/2001. The difference between the two approaches permits litigants to practice forum shopping. The focus of the paper is to give an overview of the two approaches and to contrast them.

Endangered Species Protection: A Proposal to Modify the Legislation in Colombia
Campuzano, Adriana
The Convention of International Trade of Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (“CITES”) is praised as a successful international treaty in protecting and preserving endangered species. However, the effectiveness of CITES is reliant upon member States enforcing and implementing CITES provisions. Colombia has enacted laws implementing CITES but has experienced an increase in the number of endangered species despite these laws. On the other hand, the United States’ implementation of CITES through the Endangered Species Act (“ESA”) is viewed as a sophisticated and successful CITES implementation programs. This thesis makes an attempt to offer viable proposals to help improve the current endangered species protection system in Colombia. To achieve this goal, the existing U.S. and Colombian legal frameworks are compared and contrasted. Finally, a series of recommendations are offered to the Colombia’s species protection in view of the ESA.

Protection of Children from Exploitation in West Africa: Illusion or Reality?
Brown-Eyeson, Afua
This thesis analyses the implementation of the main international and regional conventions, which guarantees the protection of children s rights and their effectiveness in combating the issue of child trafficking in West Africa. This paper examines both internal and external child trafficking and some of the causes of this menace. The thesis argues that the international and regional conventions, regardless of their efforts to protect the rights of the children, have failed to achieve their purpose especially in the subregion. In summary, this paper concludes that unless the issue of poverty, which is the underlying factor in the exploitation of children, is tackled head on, the implementation of these conventions would be ineffective in the subregion

Blawgs, Podcasts, Wikis? Deciphering the Lingo and Evaluating Current Awareness Tools
Watson, Carol A.
Methods and technology for keeping track of current legal news range from simple to advanced. Simple methods such as becoming familiar with legal news web sites and visiting them regularly are still highly effective. More advanced technologies such as blogs and podcasts offer more diverse methods of delivering information by using sound and video (as opposed to reading plain text). Armed with basic knowledge about these new tools, you can make informed decisions about which technologies can increase your current awareness knowledge.

David vs. Goliath (2001): An Analysis of the OECD Harmful Tax Competition Policy
Butler, Truman
The OECD or Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development has produced a report titled Harmful Tax Competition An Emerging Global Issue. The report is the single largest threat to the offshore finance industry. Further, the sweeping recommendations made by the report would at worst potentially discourage foreign investment in some of the more established offshore financial centers. This thesis represents an analytical view of the report and further gives some highlights to the anomalies found in the tax regimes of the major industrialized countries. It is clear that the actions of the OECD does create in effect a tax cartel. This thesis then discusses the smaller offshore financial centers appear helpless in the midst of the tremendous onslaught by the OECD and its member states. Finally, the thesis presents alternative measures that may be taken globally in order to combat harmful preferential tax regimes in all countries.

Internet Research Methodology
Watson, Carol A.
Certainly the Internet has revolutionized our perception of information and information access. Information is everywhere on the Internet, existing in large quantities and continuously being created and revised. Finding information on the Internet has been described as drinking from a fire hose. As lawyers, how can we assess how much and what type of reliable information is available on the Internet for legal research? One of the most important tasks of this Internet Legal Research CLE is to inform you of exactly what types of major legal resources you can expect to find on the Internet and to equip you with the skills to evaluate the information that you do find on the Internet.

Upgrading Your Internet Connection
Watson, Carol A.
You can never be too thin, too rich or have too much Internet access speed! To connect to the Internet, you need a computer, modem, perhaps a phone line or cable connection, communication software and an Internet Service Provider. Any one of these components might slow down your Internet activities, including the age and speed of your PC, your Internet Service Provider's equipment, your software settings, and the quality of your telephone line.

From Attorney to Detective: Using the Web as an Investigative Tool
Burnett, Anne E.
The web is a handy investigative tool, allowing a researcher to obtain some kinds of information previously requiring the services of a private detective. One can find a subject's email address, home address, telephone number, criminal records, property records, vital statistics information, and more. Much of the information is free, but considerably more is available for a fee. Most of the sites providing free information heavily promote paid services that provide more extensive information. The vast number of sites providing access to information about persons, property and things makes it impossible to provide an inclusive list; therefore, this chapter strives only to provide a sampling of representative sites.

Many legal news web sites offer the option for visitors to sign up for e-mail alerts that can provide up-to-the-minute news delivered to your e-mail inbox. It is also possible to use a combination of web resources and e-mail to monitor court dockets. If you need in-depth information about a topic, you might consider joining a legal listserv or e-mail discussion list. Finally a recent strategy for staying on top of current legal topics is to become acquainted with legal blogs and how to access them. The latest expansion of blogging that is useful for obtaining current information is podcasting or sending soundfiles via the Internet. It’s important to note that in today’s wired world that many people report being overwhelmed by information especially in electronic format. Rather than try to regularly use all of the methods and resources described below, my suggestion is that you sample them and try to figure out which ones best suit your needs. You should probably limit yourself to a few current awareness resources daily. Don’t forget to take time to contemplate the implications of the news you discover and try not to allow your attention to get too fragmented.

Web in a Whirlwind: 30 Sites in 30 Minutes
Burnett, Anne E.
Most of the sites listed within are law-related; however, the usefulness for legal professionals of a few non-legal sites warrants their inclusion. In addition, a couple of the list sites address hot topics and are included for that reason. Finally, since everybody deserves a little relaxation and humor, the list contains a couple of fun sites.

Georgia Legal Resources on the Internet
Burnett, Anne E.
With the establishment of the GeorgiaNet Authority in 1990, the Georgia Legislature laid the groundwork for an impressive Georgia presence on the Internet. Pursuant to O.C.G.A. 50-25-1 et seq., GeorgiaNet and its successor agency, the Georgia Technology Authority (GTA), have increased public access online to a wealth of public state information, including items valuable in legal research. For example, the states official portal at http://www.georgia.gov provides links to important primary sources at no cost, such as the Official Code of Georgia linked from http://www.legis.state.ga.us/htdig/search.htm Other entities are also providing access to Georgia legal information via the Internet. This paper discusses several of these resources. The material is arranged by information type.

Around the World in Twenty Minutes: International Legal Research on the Web
Burnett, Anne E.
A researcher in “international law” may need to locate primary sources such as international treaties, decisions of international and domestic tribunals, and foreign laws while also seeking secondary sources such as treatises and articles. The Internet has improved access to foreign and international materials immeasurably in the past few years. Items that formerly were not available in a published format might now be available with a click of the mouse. Many international organizations and countries are now placing primary legal materials on the Web, although not always in English and usually only for recent years. Like other areas of the Web, finding these materials is not always easy. The rapid growth of electronic materials in this area makes maintaining an accurate set of links impossible. However, many resources exist to help the researcher find relevant foreign and international information in this vast web of resources.

Rusk Center Briefings (Vol. 1, 1981)
Dean Rusk Center, The
From the inside front cover:
The Dean Rusk Center was established in 1977 to foster interdisciplinary research, service and education concerning institutions and processes basic to efficient intercourse among nations. U.S. fiscal and monetary policy has separate emphasis, due to its increasing impact upon international commerce. U.S. trade and investment in a world environment remains the primary focus of its study and policy recommendations sponsored by state and federal entities. The Center also recognizes that internal dynamics of nations remain the major determinant of international relations and that domestic concerns about the quality of life, stability and efficiency will continue to vie for dominance in determining a nation's posture in world affairs. Thus, much of the Center's data collection and analysis dwells on domestic events of nations and diverse disciplinary explanations of their presence and evolution.
Admittedly, the interactions of fiscal and monetary policy, international arrangements and domestic events cannot fully be analyzed in a specific geographic or subject context. Nevertheless, many of the Center's policy development activities concentrate on the North American region and related subjects of agriculture, national development, business-government relations and public governance. These bi-weekly briefings reflect the convergence of the Center's diverse activities and interests.
Facts and details of events addressed in Briefings are gathered through a scanning of major daily newspapers and weekly periodicals, which are cited throughout each article. Sources of related policy and disciplinary material appear in a listing following each article. The purpose is to link facts with policy implications and academic points of view in order to present an integrated and in-depth approach to current issues.

State Severance Taxes
Hellerstein, Walter
Testimony to consider Senate Bill 463, the Severance Tax Equity Act, to limit the rate of state severance taxes on oil, natural gas, and coal to allow recovery of only directly involved production costs. This bill was intended to protect consumers in energy-poor states from paying higher energy prices due to severance taxes.

Technological Advances Leading to the Diminishing of Privacy Rights
D'Souza, Anabelle Maria
The Purpose of this thesis is to bring about the awareness of the importance of privacy in our lives. Privacy is an essential element of a free society without which individuals would lose the ability to interact with one another in private. With the advancement in police surveillance technology there is a clash between an individuals right to keep a secret and the State’s power to penetrate that secret. State of the art technologies such as the financial crimes enforcement network, wearable computing and surveillance cameras are some of the latest devices invading privacy. These technological advances have become so deep rooted that some of the privacy invasion predicted for the future are alarming. In order to curb privacy invasions we require stricter laws regulating the government’s power to interfere with our privacy rights. The shape of our future depends on how we deal with the present issues.

Private Party Participation in the World Trade Organizations
Im, Taehyung
This paper discusses private party participation in the WTO dispute resolution system. Notwithstanding the rule-oriented reform of the WTO, there are many improvements that can be made to the WTO dispute resolution system. The lack of standing for private parties to raise a claim before the WTO dispute resolution system means there are many potential international trade dispute claims that are never resolved. Private counsel representation and submission of amicus brief by private parties acknowledge that WTO are realizing the efficacy of private interests in international trade matters. These changes, however, are not sufficient for private parties to protect their interests unless the ability to initiate dispute before the WTO is granted to them without the aid of a member state. Standing should be strictly limited to those parties that have suffered actual harm to reduce the number of frivolous suits.

The Application of EC Competition Law to Non-European (U.S.) Corporations
Cavicchioli, Federico
The present thesis deals with the application of European Community (EC)1 Competition Law by the competent Communitarian institutions, namely the Commission, the Court of First Instance and the European Court of Justice. Because the discussion will concern its application to non-European legal entities, one explanatory remark is necessary. Dealing with the application of Competition Law with regard to non-European corporations is not meant to suggest that any form of discrimination based on nationality exists. As former Commissioner Sir Leon Brittan commented with regard to one of the early cases involving non-EC companies, “the location of a party’s incorporation or headquarters is immaterial for Competition Law” ,2 which must focus on impact on markets. One necessary goal of this thesis then will be the assessment of the EC’s treatment of these cases. A legal entity’s non-European nationality must not be confused with the lack of links to the EC, as the presence of an established (not necessarily incorporated) branch or subsidiary within the EC will suffice to determine the ordinary - that is territorial - application of EC law. Instead, the focus will be on cases that would require extraterritorial application of the law: As it will be discussed, the Court of Justice has never formally endorsed the principle of extraterritorial jurisdiction,3 so that it will be necessary to discover how the EC deals with cases that have no links that could trigger the territoriality principle. Another purpose of this thesis will be to search into the ramifications of the transnational structure of certain corporations. In fact, while these may be affected by the peculiarities of EC Competition Law, they may be able to affect a market in Europe through their dominance of another market elsewhere. Based on the assumption that the legal standards cannot and will not vary simply depending on the nationality of the entities that are subject to the EC’s sovereignty, a case-oriented analysis will be made to uncover the general orientations, if any, followed by the Communitarian institutions in the application of Competition Law to non-EC firms. However, while Mr. Brittan’s argument can be said to hold true, it must also be noted that EC law is no exception to one basic principle, that is the territorial nature of the law. The law is the expression of one sovereign power which has territorially limited extension and its application to entities or situations that have no territorial links to its territory deserves special treatment.

Comparison of New Zealand and United States Securities Markets through the Looking Glass of the Efficient Market Hypothesis
Gargiulo, Carla Natalia
In the United States the Efficient Market Hypothesis has dictated academic debate on securities law, particularly in the consideration of the regulatory system of mandatory disclosure under the Securities Exchange Act 1934.1 In New Zealand the Efficient Market Hypothesis has rarely been cited by the legal fraternity, the courts or by politicians. However, capital market ideas are entrenched in the Efficient Market Hypothesis,2 and because New Zealand has been at the forefront of deregulation since the early 1980s it has a regulatory system of mandatory disclosure which reflects, at least in part, the principles of the Efficient Market Hypothesis Chapter 1 of this thesis reviews the literature concerning the Efficient Market Hypothesis. Chapter 2 provides a general description of the characteristics of the New Zealand and United States financial environments, and then focuses on the legal and regulatory systems of mandatory disclosure within which those countries operate. Chapter 3 discussed applying the Efficient Market Hypothesis to the environments described in Chapter 2. It considers whether the New Zealand and United States financial markets can be considered efficient markets under the accepted definition. It then examines some examples of existing mandatory disclosure laws, both in the United States and New Zealand, which seem to rely on notions that are supported by the Efficient Market Hypothesis, whether or not these notions are expressed as such. Finally, Chapter 4 discusses the relationship between efficient markets and mandatory disclosure laws, and then summarises how this relationship has been reflected in New Zealand and the United States. The conclusion is that there are many aspects of Efficient Market Disclosure apparent in the legal and regulatory systems in the United States and New Zealand.

Comparative Law: Alcohol, Drug Abuse & Jurisprudence from the United States to Korea
Cho, Hyun J.
Human beings have struggled against alcohol and drug addiction since the beginning of history. All kinds of possible ways have been used to treat addicts effectively, such as segregation, whipping, sterilization, or execution. Like the ancient methods used to treat the disabled, these methods used to treat alcoholic and drug addicts stemmed mainly from ignorance and prejudice. Through trial and error, a fresh approach of treating alcoholism and drug addiction as a disease has emerged. This new perspective has created drug courts and a movement called Alcoholics Anonymous that have shown successful results, in helping create greater protection under the ADA. Therefore, these programs are indeed enough inspiration to other nations like Korea, which has labored long with outdated methods like discrimination and strong punishment.

Pre-contractual Obligations in France and the United States
Caterini, Florence
This thesis compares the pre-contractual obligations in France and the United States. The focus of this study is to analyze how both legal systems deal with these pre-contractual obligations. It focuses on the possibilities given to the parties to protect themselves during the negotiation process. In event of breach of negotiations, the law gives legal remedies to the parties. French and American laws have a different analysis of the problem but they reach similar result: liability under contract law when a contract has been formed or a tentative agreement, or under tort law when no agreement whatsoever has been reached.

Reservations, Human Rights Treaties in the 21st century: from Universality to Integrity
Devidal, Pierrick
This thesis is a study of the question of the legality of reservations to international human rights treaties. The evolution of reservations law demonstrates that the system seek to promote universal adherence to multilateral treaties through flexible rules that reflects the superiority of national sovereignty in the international society. However, the flexibility of reservation law as codified in the Vienna Convention of the Law of Treaties has facilitated wide acceptance of multilateral treaties at the cost of their integrity. In the case of human rights treaties, this issue is of paramount importance considering the essentiality of a balance between integrity and universality for human rights norms. There is an urgent necessity to promote adequate reforms of the Vienna Convention system and rely on human rights treaty bodies’ competence and jurisdiction to review the validity of reservations and ensure that universality and integrity are equally respected.

Foreign Direct Investment in Colombia
Gomez, Juliana
After decisions 220/88 and 291/91 of the Andean Pact, Colombia enacted law 9 of 1991. Law 9/91 empowered the National Economic and Social Policy Council (COMPES), a private government consulting agency, to promulgate rules on foreign investment. In the same year, the COMPES promulgated resolution 51 which is the base of the foreign investment regulation in Colombia. The purpose of this study is to analyze the legal aspects of foreign investment of Colombia and compare them with the international standards in order to determine whether the Colombian regulation acts in accordance to those standards or even exceeds them. The standards that will be considered are those established by the World Bank Guidelines of 1992. Finally, If the standards are not met, I will give some recommendations that could be useful for the country. Despite of the fact that political and economic aspects are extremely important for foreign investors select a country to make an investment, these aspects are not going to be considered in this thesis because of its complexity.

Freedom of Speech, Cinema and Censorship: a Comparative Analysis of Issues of Freedom of Speech Violations as a Result of the Rating Regulation Authorities in the Motion Picture Industry in France and the United States
Grenier, Stephanie
Motion pictures may be the single greatest cultural influence on the collective psyche, along with television. The silver screen has become a reflection of France (where it was first invented) and the United States (where cinema is a major art form) as nations. With, arguably, [sic] is the national character of these countries at stake; one would expect the government to assert a substantial interest in monitoring this powerful cultural instrument. They do so in France, the industry in charge of it in the United States. Therefore, the success of the motion picture industry has come at the expense of many silenced artistic visions and to the detriment of both of their cultural identities. However, alternatives to the present rating systems do exist and should be used in order to prevent censorship. Indeed, with some modifications, these systems as designed can work and protect creativity.

Accountability of Transnational Corporations under International Standards
Hanakova, Lea
Due to the process of globalization and rapid economic evolution in the last several years, transnational corporations have become extremely powerful. There is an evident disproportion between the numerous rights enjoyed by transnational corporations and the scarce obligations undertaken by them. Given their transnational nature, transnational corporations have been successfully avoiding national regulations of both their home and host states, and they are seeking to operate in countries with the lowest standards so as to increase their profits. This has resulted in the violation of basic human rights. Therefore, there is an increasing need for the creation of international instruments addressed to transnational corporations with express and clear obligations aimed at the respect of human rights. This study will analyze the nature and scope, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the most important current instruments regulating transnational corporate conduct at the international level.

Commercial Speech in the United States and Europe
Gassy-Wright, Oxana Valeryevna
his research focuses on the protection of the commercial speech in the United States and Europe. The protection of commercial speech is regarded as one of the most controversial issues in both European and American free speech jurisprudence. The purpose of this work is to compare different approaches to the protection of the commercial speech in the American and European countries through an analysis of the decisions of the United States Supreme Court, the European Court of Human Rights and the European Court of Justice of the European Union. This analysis demonstrates that the U.S. Supreme Court gives commercial speech intermediate level of protection. In contrast, while the European Court of Human Rights and European Court of Justice declared commercial speech to be protected, in practice both Courts deny the protection by refusing to overrule limitations on commercial speech. Moreover, both European Courts leave much discretion to Member States to decide whether or not the commercial speech should be restricted.

Issues Regarding the Most Effective Tool of U.S. Bankruptcy Law
Kera, Zeenat
This thesis addresses three areas in which there have been important developments concerning the automatic stay of the U.S. Bankruptcy law, provided by 11 U.S.C. § 362. The first part of the thesis addresses and analyses the question whether state courts have jurisdiction to determine their own jurisdiction when the automatic stay is at issue. The consensus, however, now seems to favor the traditional and correct view, that while bankruptcy courts alone have jurisdiction to lift or modify the stay, state courts, have jurisdiction to determine whether the stay does or does not cut off its jurisdiction to reach the merits of a case. The second topic is whether a state court has jurisdiction to impose sanctions for an alleged violation of the stay. The analysis, with the help of case laws will show that even if a state court or another federal court has jurisdiction to determine whether the stay applies, only the bankruptcy court where the case is pending has jurisdiction to impose sanctions for violating the stay. The third part of the thesis explains and analyses issues concerning repossession of property by a creditor before the filing of a bankruptcy petition.

International Corporate Governance Practices and Their Implications on Investors
Hamanyanga, Namwandi
Corporate governance has become a bonafide subset of company’s law that is concerned with who directs the company and for whose benefit. Its application varies in countries found in the main legal jurisdictions of common and civil law. This thesis identifies these differences by highlighting national corporate governance systems existing in Germany, Japan, United Kingdom and United States. Together, these countries represent systems adopted by several countries located on all continents. Increased cross border investment in this era of globalization has been significantly affected by these governance systems. The thesis shows the reasons why investors, multinational corporations and nations have put corporate governance on their agenda’s. The thesis also discusses the theory of convergence, which predicts that competition will eventually cause the various national governance systems to converge into a single model. Finally, the attempt to create this single model by the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development is explored.

Effective Internet Search Strategies: Internet Search Engines, Meta-Indexes and Web Directories
Moore, Wendy E.
Searching the World Wide Web can be a daunting task. The Web has expanded at such a rapid pace that nobody knows exactly how large it is, but it is safe to say that there are many billions of web pages residing on servers all over the world. Add to this scenario the hundreds of different search tools available to choose among – including directories, search engines, meta-searchers, and specialized search engines – and the situation begins to feel overwhelming. Fortunately, learning a few essential concepts of Web searching, along with mastering a handful of the top-rated search tools, can make the picture much brighter. Simply knowing how to choose the right tool for your information need can make all the difference. This paper will first discuss basic concepts and terms you must know to be an effective searcher. Next, it will in turn examine each of the major categories of search tools, and recommend the best search engines and directories currently available

Beyond the Internet - What Technologies are on the Horizon?
Watson, Carol A.
There are conflicting perceptions about the use of technology by lawyers. One view is that lawyers are traditional individuals who are slow to adopt cutting edge technology. The opposing view is that lawyers are technology leaders. I subscribe to the latter view. Lawyers were the first to fully utilize full-text databases. Lawyers were searching Lexis-Nexis during the late 70's and early 80's. Lawyers quickly adopted fax machines, e-mail and Internet services as soon as they were available. Consequently, I think lawyers are technology leaders. In order to remain technology leaders, we must be informed about the latest technology developments. The purpose of this segment of the CLE program is to gaze into the crystal ball and to offer some predictions for the future of technology. In a few simple words, the future of technology will be faster, smaller, more integrated and wireless. Will these predictions be accurate? Only time will tell.

Legal News and Periodicals
Moore, Wendy E.
There are a growing number of legal periodicals and news sources that are freely available via the Internet, but sometimes tracking down a specific topic or article can be a lot of work. For example, what if you are interested in following news on a certain legal topic or identifying some current articles published in a certain legal field, such as immigration? No matter how good a searcher you are, it is nearly impossible to put "recent Immigration Law News" into Google and get back a concise, usable list of articles. Instead, the best searching method to follow is making use of specialized legal websites which assist in finding legal news and periodicals on the Internet. This paper contains a few of these sites that will make the task of searching out legal news and periodicals easier and more time-efficient.

Keeping Current Using Internet Services and Sites

The question today about news and current awareness on the Internet is not can you find what you need; but, rather, how do you prefer to access the information you seek. News of all kinds is definitely available on the Web. And now your means of getting to the news you need or want can be tailored exactly to meet your schedule, your energy level, and your filtering and organizing ability.

The Problem of Social Cost in a Genetically Modified Age
Heald, Paul J.
Smith, James C.
In Part I of this Article, we apply the Coase Theorem and its most useful corollary to the problem of pollen drift. We conclude that the liability of pollen polluters should be governed by balancing rules against nuisance law, to be applied on a case-by-case basis, rather than by a blanket liability or immunity rule. We also conclude that truly bystanding non-GMO farmers should have a viable defense to patent infringement because liability would result in the application of a reverse Pigovian tax that cannot be justified under accepted economic theory. Only a contextual approach can account for the wide variety of costs that must be identified before determining whether liability for genetic pollution is socially desirable. "In the rest of this Article, we demonstrate that existing legal doctrines support the adoption of the framework we advocate. In order to do that more effectively, we briefly provide the background science of genetically modified plants and how their patented characteristics can be adventitiously transferred, and we also highlight the consequences of pollen drift by canvassing the multi-billion dollar market for non-GMO crops. Then, we discuss the common law nuisance and trespass doctrines that may provide farmers with an affirmative cause of action when pollen drift causes a reduction in the value of a planted crop. Finally, we discuss patent law defenses that may be available to patent infringement defendants who characterize themselves as victims of pollen drift (bystanding farmers). We find significant opportunities for true bystanding farmers to rebut patent infringement claims in the voluntary act doctrine and in the doctrines of patent misuse, unclean hands, and volenti non fit injuria. In the spirit of truly descriptive law and economics analysis, we conclude that applicable common law and equitable doctrines appear to be efficient.

Pondering the Future of Classification While Living in the Present
Holmes, Elizabeth Geesey
We have certainly been living in exciting times lately as catalogers: LC’s announcement that it will no longer create series authority records, rumors that the Library of Congress Subject Headings would be eliminated next; RLG’s merger with OCLC; Karen Calhoun’s report for LC on the nature of the catalog; and OCLC finally implementing code i for integrating resources. It’s been hard to keep up with all the e-mail discussions. All of the above has led me to thinking about the practice of Classification and its future. I assume all of us are assigning classification numbers to most physical materials which cross our desks for cataloging. We want these items to be placed on the shelf in a logical and browseable order so that our patrons can retrieve them easily. But what about electronic/virtual materials which are not on a shelf and don’t need a classification number to be retrieved? Do we assign classification numbers to them? When the majority of materials at LC are online and all their stacks are closed (in other words not browseable by patrons) will LC cease assigning LC classification numbers and maintaining the schedules?

The Problem of Refugees (classifying works on them, that is)
Holmes, Elizabeth Geesey
This past Summer I was able to attend the Advanced Cataloging Institute before the AALL Annual Meeting in Seattle. One of the sessions, presented by Jolande Goldberg of the Library of Congress and author of many of the K schedules, was on LC Classification. Ms. Goldberg addressed classification questions she had been given before the session. These questions were on various parts of the K schedule which even advanced catalogers have difficulty with. One question posed was “the Refugee question.” In a project re-classing JX4292.R4, Refugees, the question is – where do these books go?

Classification K: Where does one find information on law classification?
Holmes, Elizabeth Geesey
Where does one find information on law classification? I don’t know about you, but even though I took both Basic and Advanced Cataloging in Library school, I found myself ill-prepared for the rigors of the K classification schedules. So where should one turn for this information?

Classification K
Holmes, Elizabeth Geesey
By now most of us have been using Classification Web for some time, but if you are like me you could use some reminders about its features and capabilities. First, if you have not already done so you should sign up for at least the Class Web Announcement electronic list which is a low traffic list used to keep you informed about the site, and probably also for the Users Group discussion list which allows you to communicate with fellow users. Information on these lists and how to sign up for them can be found by clicking on the link labeled User Group near the bottom of the main menu screen in Classification Web.

Employment/labor contracts: Contracts or Labor Law?
Holmes, Elizabeth Geesey
Whited, Marie
Recently there was a question on the Autocat electronic discussion list on classifying the title Drafting employment contracts by Gillian Howard with the main subject heading of Labor contract – Great Britain. Her item included model clauses, draft letters and contracts, part-time work, fixed-term contracts and changing terms and conditions. Similar works are classed in two different numbers: KD1634: Law of England and Wales--Contracts--Particular contracts—Contract of service. Master and servant, and KD3096: Law of England and Wales--Social legislation--Labor law—Labor standards--Employment and dismissal. The cataloger asking the question liked KD1634 more than KD3096 because it is under contracts – however she noted that she was confused about what master and servant meant.

Why Pay for it Twice? How to Access Federal Materials in the Public Domain
Donovan, James M
The U.S. federal government is one of, if not the world’s largest publisher. Because that material has been produced using tax dollars, it has in an important sense already been “bought” by the citizen consumer. While many commercial aggregators greatly ease access to these documents by collecting them or their links into one easy location, they typically charge a sizeable fee for the convenience, and often overlook the more obscure items. The user, having already purchased the documents, may wish to exert the effort learning how to access these items from the original providers. The links within offer a variety of means to access these public domain titles.

Repraesentatio in Classical Latin
Watson, Alan
The Romans knew well the twin concepts of representation and representatives in law suits and in the relationships between father and son, and owner and slave. But for these concepts they did not use the terms repraesentare or any cognate.
To Tertullian, it seems, goes the credit of first using repraesentare and repraesentator in their modern senses of <> and <>. That his context is theological probably should not surprise since he is, above all, a theologian.
Thus he uses repraesentare to mean that the one larger and more important may represent the many and less important. This usage had a long and successful future.
More importantly perhaps, he claims that he made manifest the conjunction of two persons, that the Son would be the representative of the Father, and that the Father is in the Son and the Son is in the Father. They are one being. It is no doubt fanciful to see here a reminiscence of the Roman patria potestas but we must remember that Tertullian somehow had some legal knowledge.
Lastly, the Better God does not reject the good works of God the Creator including those by which he nourishes his people, <>, a clear reference to transubstantiation.

Rusk Center Briefings (Vol. 2, 1982)
Huszagh, Fredrick W.
Davison, Fred C.
Bertsch, Gary K.
Phillips, Walter Ray
Trotter, Robert T.
Meeks, Phillip
Danielsen, Albert
Hillenbrand, Martin J.
Rusk, Dean
Davis, Samuel M.
From the inside front cover:
The Dean Rusk Center was established in 1977 to foster interdisciplinary research, service and education concerning institutions and processes basic to efficient intercourse among nations. U.S. fiscal and monetary policy has separate emphasis, due to its increasing impact upon international commerce. U.S. trade and investment in a world environment remains the primary focus of its study and policy recommendations sponsored by state and federal entities. The Center also recognizes that internal dynamics of nations remain the major determinant of international relations and that domestic concerns about the quality of life, stability and efficiency will continue to vie for dominance in determining a nation's posture in world affairs. Thus, much of the Center's data collection and analysis dwells on domestic events of nations and diverse disciplinary explanations of their presence and evolution.
Admittedly, the interactions of fiscal and monetary policy, international arrangements and domestic events cannot fully be analyzed in a specific geographic or subject context. Nevertheless, many of the Center's policy development activities concentrate on the North American region and related subjects of agriculture, national development, business-government relations and public governance. These bi-weekly briefings reflect the convergence of the Center's diverse activities and interests.
Facts and details of events addressed in Briefings are gathered through a scanning of major daily newspapers and weekly periodicals, which are cited throughout each article. Sources of related policy and disciplinary material appear in a listing following each article. The purpose is to link facts with policy implications and academic points of view in order to present an integrated and in-depth approach to current issues.

Imperfect Gifts as Declarations of Trust: An Unapologetic Anomaly
Love, Sarajane N.
This article will address circumstances under which 'gifts' of personalty, made without legal supervision by lay people, should be construed as declarations of trust in order to carry out the wishes of the property owner. The declaration of trust doctrine may salvage some attempted gift transactions because the property which is the subject of the trust need not be delivered to the trust beneficiary.
