An Appraisal of the Labor Chapter of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Remarks Submitted to the Committee on Ways and Means Democra
An Appraisal of the Labor Chapter of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Remarks Submitted to the Committee on Ways and Means Democrats by Steve Charnovitz* January 2016 1. The Labour chapter of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is the most progressive set of labor obligations ever to be negotiated in a free trade agreement. 2. The TPP is an enhanced second-generation worker rights chapter in a free trade agreement (FTA): -- In the first generation of worker rights, US FTAs incorporated the labor principles and labor rights of the International Labour Organization (ILO) Declaration of 1998, yet did so only with a soft obligation.1 The US trading partners were Australia, Bahrain, Central America/Dominican Republic, Chile, Jordan, Morocco, Oman, and Singapore. Those agreements also included an obligation not to fail to enforce domestic labor laws in a manner affecting trade between the parties.2 This obligation grew out of a similar formulation in the labor side accord to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). -- The May 10, 2007 Bipartisan Trade Deal ushered in the second generation of worker rights in FTAs through a hard obligation to "adopt and maintain" in domestic law the fundamental rights enshrined in the ILO Declaration.3 This was the template used in the US FTAs with Colombia, Korea, Panama, and Peru. These FTAs also contain a commitment not to waive or derogate from regulations implementing these international rights. The significance of the second generation of FTA-related worker rights can be understood by looking at what it adds to the underlying regime of international labor law. -

July 2021 Historical Society of the D.C
Newsletter #48 - July 2021 Historical Society of the D.C. Circuit - www.dcchs.org How Linda Ferren Brought Then-Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg's Vision of the Society to Life Linda Ferren, after 30 years of exemplary service as Executive Director of the Historical Society, retired March 31, 2021. Today’s Society is a monument to Linda’s creativity and drive. In 1990, Linda, then-Circuit Executive, received a call from then-Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Judge Ginsburg invited Linda to come to her chambers to discuss an idea – the creation of a historical society for the D.C. Circuit Courts. In particular, Judge Ginsburg wished to facilitate the writing of a history of these Courts. Responding to the request, Linda brought together judicial and bar leaders to establish the Society in 1990. Primary among the Society’s early accomplishments was the publication of Jeffrey Morris’ History of the Courts of the DC Circuit published in 2001. Linda’s vision for the Society went well beyond the book. She brought the Oral History Project into being in 1991 and has managed it ever since. The archive available on the Society’s website now includes 110 lifetime histories of judges, lawyers and court staff. Fifty-two additional histories are in progress. Linda has had a hand in every new activity the Society has undertaken, from the annual Mock Court for DC high schoolers now in its 16th year to the Judge Patricia Wald Programs on Life and Law in the Courts of the DC Circuit. When websites were still considered the domain of spiders, Linda led the Society to create one and publish its work product there. -

Judicial Genealogy (And Mythology) of John Roberts: Clerkships from Gray to Brandeis to Friendly to Roberts
The Judicial Genealogy (and Mythology) of John Roberts: Clerkships from Gray to Brandeis to Friendly to Roberts BRAD SNYDER* During his Supreme Court nomination hearings, John Roberts idealized and mythologized the first judge he clerkedfor, Second Circuit Judge Henry Friendly, as the sophisticated judge-as-umpire. Thus far on the Court, Roberts has found it difficult to live up to his Friendly ideal, particularlyin several high-profile cases. This Article addresses the influence of Friendly on Roberts and judges on law clerks by examining the roots of Roberts's distinguishedyet unrecognized lineage of former clerks: Louis Brandeis 's clerkship with Horace Gray, Friendly's clerkship with Brandeis, and Roberts's clerkships with Friendly and Rehnquist. Labeling this lineage a judicial genealogy, this Article reorients clerkship scholarship away from clerks' influences on judges to judges' influences on clerks. It also shows how Brandeis, Friendly, and Roberts were influenced by their clerkship experiences and how they idealized their judges. By laying the clerkship experiences and career paths of Brandeis, Friendly, and Roberts side-by- side in detailed primary source accounts, this Article argues that judicial influence on clerks is more professional than ideological and that the idealization ofjudges and emergence of clerks hips as must-have credentials contribute to a culture ofjudicial supremacy. * Assistant Professor, University of Wisconsin Law School.

Reporte Sobre La Magistratura En El Mundo
Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación 25 de junio de 2020 Año XVII, no. 3,739 Reporte sobre la Magistratura en el Mundo (Reserva de Derechos: 04-2011-102610220300-102) El Salvador (La Prensa Gráfica): • "Esta Sala no puede devolver una atribución que el Órgano Ejecutivo nunca ha tenido": la respuesta de la Sala a la nota de Bukele. La Sala de lo Constitucional de la Corte Suprema de Justicia (CSJ) publicó la respuesta a la nota que el presidente Nayib Bukele envió hace tres días pidiendo que se le "devuelva sus facultades que expresamente le da la ley y que se le ha quitado vía sentencias". La Sala menciona que dicho escrito contiene, entre otras cosas, "una interpretación particular" de artículos del Código de Salud y de la Ley de Protección Civil, Prevención y Mitigación de Desastres que no han sido declarados inconstitucionales. "En respuesta a su petición, esta Sala le aclara: en primer lugar, que en el sistema constitucional salvadoreño vigente desde 1983 y de acuerdo con la jurisprudencia constante de este Tribunal, el Órgano Ejecutivo nunca ha tenido facultades para limitar por sí mismo los derechos fundamentales de las personas. La reserva de ley formal para restringir derechos de las personas, es decir, la exigencia de una ley aprobada por la Asamblea Legislativa y sancionada por la Presidencia de la República, es una premisa básica y fundamental que no puede soslayarse. En consecuencia, esta Sala no puede "devolver" una atribución que el Órgano Ejecutivo nunca ha tenido en la Constitución vigente", se lee en el documento de ocho páginas dirigido a Bukele.
