  • Report of the Judges of the Court on Managing Transitions in the Judiciary
    30 January 2020 Report of the judges of the Court on Managing Transitions in the Judiciary I. Introduction 1. “Transitions”, for purposes of this memorandum, means the process of bringing the service of judges to a close upon the statutory end of their term; as the replacement judges commence their service. 2. A key challenge in the management of transitions in the judiciary is that posed by the end of mandate of one-third of the Court’s judges every three years. This necessitates proper management of the circumstances resulting in the continuation in office of a judge who remains at the Court to complete a trial or appeal in accordance with article 36(10) of the Rome Statute, even though her or his mandate has expired.1 To date, 10 judges have had extensions of mandate under this provision, the duration of which has ranged from several months2 to several years (i.e. between approximately 1.5 – 4 years).3 The present report focuses on this issue. It is an issue the current Presidency has taken up on its own to try and resolve – long before its resonance in aspects of the Draft Non-Paper produced by the Bureau of the ASP. By way of the latter, States Parties have identified the possible need to ‘[d]evelop and implement clear and firm procedures for managing transitions in the judiciary, such as the use of alternate judges, handover strategies etc’.4 1 Article 36(10) provides: ‘Notwithstanding paragraph 9, a judge assigned to a Trial or Appeals Chamber in accordance with article 39 shall continue in office to complete any trial or appeal the hearing of which has already commenced before that Chamber’.

    On Tax—Alyson Lawrence of Johnson & Johnson Len Teti: Welcome to On Tax – A Cravath Podcast. I’m Len Teti, a partner in the Tax Department of Cravath, Swaine & Moore, a premier U.S. law firm based in New York City. On each episode of On Tax, I talk to professionals in the Cravath network about their life and work in the world of tax. We focus on the human side of tax law, highlighting the people, connections and stories that make the space such a fascinating and dynamic area of practice. I hope you enjoy this episode. On this episode, we’ll talk to Alyson Lawrence of Johnson & Johnson. Alyson will tell us how she’s the third- generation tax professional in her family. She’ll also tell us about her family’s 50-year history of holding season tickets for the Philadelphia Eagles, and she’ll tell us where she was in 2018, when the Eagles won Super Bowl LII. Alyson, welcome to the podcast and thank you for joining us. Alyson Lawrence: Thanks for having me, Len. Len: You’re welcome. So, Alyson, tell us about how you came to the tax world. Tell us about your background in tax. Alyson: Yeah. I think it’s interesting—I’m probably an atypical tax person in that I think I was born to be a tax lawyer, and that’s a very strange thing to be. I am a third-generation CPA. I was an accounting major undergrad, and when I was in college, I took a tax class as part of my accounting major, and I definitely knew from that moment that I was interested in tax and not traditional audit path.

  • Constitution of the Puntland State of Somalia
    CONSTITUTION OF THE PUNTLAND STATE OF SOMALIA December 2009 English Translation November 2011 .• Puntland State was created in 1998 through a consultative agreement among the different regions that constitute Puntland. The creation of Puntland State emerged from Somalia's failure to re-establish an inclusive national government for eight years. The people of Puntland realized they could not continue without a government. It was then decided in the constitutional conference of 1998 that Punt land would become a state that would be part of a federal Somalia. A charter was approved in that same 1998 conference and later replaced with a provisional constitution that was approved by members of the House of Representatives in 200 l. A referendum on the constitution was to have taken place in 2004, although this was not accomplished. Since it was not possible to hold a referendum on the constitution it was decided that the constitution would continue in force while undergoing review. The constitutional review process began in May 2007 and continued until June 2009. In the review process, meaningful opinions were contributed from different sectors of Puntland society, such as Somali lawyers and foreign lawyers. Therefore, the new constitution was drafted to become the law of the people of Puntland and was based on the Islamic shari'a and, at the same time, the constitution guides the system of governance, and thus brings collaboration and order among the different government institutions of the state. It is important to mention that this constitution will have an impact on the life of every Puntlander, because no nation may exist without laws, and therefore this constitution brings order among citizens and moreover entrenches their human rights and responsibilities so that they may attain social and economic development.

  • FOJ Experience #33–Vhito Decapria, Penn Football
    Headline: The miracle of Vhito DeCapria and the Penn football team By Michael J. Lewis On April 9, 2014, 2-year-old Vhito DeCapria‟s parents were told by doctors he had two weeks to live. On April 23, 2015, Vhito DeCapria‟s parents were told he was cancer-free. There are a million other ways we could start the story of this real-life miracle; there have been twists and turns and happiness and sadness and thrilling moments and dashed hopes and every emotion you could conjure up that even the creators of the Pixar movie “Inside Out” couldn‟t have imagined. But the most important thing, the thing you need to know from the start, is the facts that were given to Ashley and Nick DeCapria on those two days, just a year apart. “We‟ve had producers reach out to us and tell us this should all be a Hollywood movie,” Ashley DeCapria says. “To us, it‟s just been an incredible ordeal.” Before we get into how Vhito, now 4, and his brother Vinnie, now 6, became best pals with the University of Pennsylvania football team (and maybe became their good-luck charm) through a Friends of Jaclyn adoption, a little medical history is in order. It‟s an emotional tale told by Ashley, who even now gets understandably teary talking about it. Starting in July, 2013, when Vhito woke up and couldn‟t move his right arm, the DeCapria‟s went to 12 different doctors over the next nine months, and none could find anything definitively, seriously wrong with Vhito.
