  • The Anglo-American Revolution in Tort Choice of Law Principles: Paradigm Shift Or Pandora’S Box?
    THE ANGLO-AMERICAN REVOLUTION IN TORT CHOICE OF LAW PRINCIPLES: PARADIGM SHIFT OR PANDORA’S BOX? Alan Reed* I. INTRODUCTION Gallons of ink spill across the law review pages as the conflicts revolution engages a counter-revolution in a rhubarb as esoteric and perplexing as anything American law has ever known.1 The landscape of American conflicts law has undergone a fundamental reorientation.2 The altered canvas is most vivid in the choice of law arena, particularly in relation to governing principles in tort.3 After decades of experimentation, we are left with dominant greys and innumerable shades: a bewildering chiaroscuro effect that confuses academicians, practitioners and 4 judges. The prevailing American methodology has recently infected the scepter’d isle. The result is the recognition that the legal system should put certain constructs to rest because their utility is long-gone and their specters confound our thinking. Accordingly, recent and radical changes in the English tort choice of law rules now supplement century-old laws. These alterations in * Alan Reed graduated from Trinity College, Cambridge University in 1988 with a first class honours degree in law (B.A 1988 and M.A. 1991), and was awarded the Herbert Smith prize for private international law attaining the highest examination grade in that subject. Cambridge University also granted him a full Holland Scholarship to facilitate study in the U.S. and he obtained an LL.M. Masters of Law (comparative law) at the University of Virginia in 1990. On his return to England, he spent two years in practice with Theodore Goddard in London, whilst additionally teaching law at Trinity College, Cambridge.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-76255-7 - Corporate Lawyers and Corporate Governance Joan Loughrey Frontmatter More information CORPORATE LAWYERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE This assessment of the corporate governance role of corporate lawyers in the United Kingdom analyses the extent to which lawyers can and should act as gatekeepers, counsellors and reputational intermediaries. Focusing on external and in-house lawyers’ roles in both dispersed share-ownership and owner-managed companies, Joan Loughrey highlights the conflicts of interest that are endemic in corporate representation and examines how lawyers should respond when corporate agents provide instructions con- trary to the company client’s interests. She also considers the legitimacy of ‘creative compliance’,the ethical arguments for and against lawyers pri- oritising the public interest over their clients’ interests, and their exposure to liability if they fail to perform a corporate governance role. Finally, she considers whether the reforms to the legal profession will promote the lawyer’s corporate governance role and advances suggestions for reform. joan loughrey is currently the Director of the Centre for Business Law and Practice at the School of Law, University of Leeds, where her research interests include corporate law, corporate governance, and ethics and the legal profession. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-76255-7 - Corporate Lawyers and Corporate Governance Joan Loughrey Frontmatter More information international corporate law and financial market regulation Recent years have seen an upsurge of change and reform in corporate law and financial market regulation internationally as the corporate and institutional investor sector increasingly turns to the international financial markets.

TRANSNATIONAL LAW PRACTICE Richard L. Abelt T RANSNATIONAL law practice has grown dramatically in recent years, but scholarship has not kept pace. This Article fills the void in three different, yet related, ways. The first section seeks to explain the patterns of transnational law practice that have emerged in recent decades. The second describes the constraints on transnational practice, especially those imposed by national and supranational regulation. I conclude with proposals about how lawyers, professional organizations, and governments should regulate transnational law practice. Since there is no comprehensive account of the growth of transnational law practice, I have appended one, drawn from a wide variety of sources, including Martindale-Hubbell, the International Financial Law Review, and Business Lawyer,' as well as a dozen interviews with lawyers in t Professor, U.C.L.A.

  • Poverty: Rights, Social Citizenship, and Legal Activism (Vancouver: UBC Press, 2007), 389 Pp
    REVIEW OF POVERTY RIGHTS, SOCIAL CITIZENSHIP, AND LEGAL ACTIVISM EDITED BY MARGOT YOUNG, SUSAN B. BOYD, GWEN BRODSKY AND SHELAGH DAY Margo Louise Foster* Margot Young, Susan B. Boyd, Gwen Brodsky & Shelagh Day, eds., Poverty: Rights, Social Citizenship, and Legal Activism (Vancouver: UBC Press, 2007), 389 pp. Louise Arbour has likened the present state of human rights in the inter- national context to a pillar of glass: these rights are invisible, decorative, and support nothing.1 Her sharp metaphor seems equally applicable to the treat- ment of human rights - in particular, social and economic rights - on the domestic front. Many Canadians take pride in the fundamental rights and freedoms entrenched in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms,2 but as the essays in Poverty: Rights, Social Citizenship, and Legal Activism3 show, many fail to see how those rights are infringed by the existence of poverty. This failure to see can also be observed in Canadian courts: for example, Gosselin v. Quebec (Attorney General),4 the very case that instigated Poverty, illustrates how the courts have resisted using the Charterto protect economic and social rights or to hold governments accountable for policies that per- petuate poverty. Within Canadian society, one can easily observe a divide * B.A. Hons. (UBC), M.A. (SFU), L.L.B. (UVIC 2009).

    MCH Regulatory Review TVNZ Submission April 2008 Contents • PART 1: Executive Summary 2 • PART 2: Terminology 7 • PART 3: Context – Value of Public Service Broadcasting 10 – The Need for Marketplace Rules 24 • PART 4: Regulatory Review – Approach 36 – Environment 38 – Cross-Value Chain Issues 43 – Content Issues 51 – Distribution Issues 58 – Network Issues 65 TVNZ Submission: MCH Regulatory Review April 2008 2 Executive Summary • Public service broadcasting is important in order to ensure: the continued visibility and impact of local and public service content; plurality of voices in the media; and independence in an increasingly globalised world. TVNZ has a specific role to play as the Public Service Broadcaster to deliver Charter content and bring New Zealand to New Zealanders • New Zealanders value the principles of public service broadcasting as set out in TVNZ’s Charter. However, public service broadcasting in New Zealand does not receive stable, long-term funding • New Zealand has paid little attention to the broadcasting and media competitive environment. The lack of marketplace rules is not working for the existing broadcasting market, let alone converging markets • The lack of marketplace rules means that SKY has had the freedom to develop a business model in New Zealand not seen in other countries. SKY has been able to develop a vertically integrated business with the potential to exert considerable market power. That lack of marketplace rules and dominance by one player could lead to a lack of media diversity in New Zealand • Significant change is required across a number of areas identified by MCH. Marketplace rules are required in order to create a fair and level playing field for all participants.
