When I was thinking of going to law school, I went to speak with a law
professor at the university where I had done my PhD. 'Well, Mr. Rosen,'
he said, 'the thing about law school is it will teach you how to think.'
I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop: think about law, think like
a lawyer. No, he meant think – period. With all due humility, I was at
that time coming from the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton,
NJ, and should like to imagine that I had actually learned a few things
while doing my doctorate at his own university. In the forty years since,
while serving as an adjunct professor of law and visiting professor at
several such institutions, I have also encountered the occasional law
scholar who, in a moment of academic noblesse oblige, has regarded my
anthropology credentials as quaint but insufficient evidence that one
has the tough-minded capacity that flows from a legal education. The
lawyers may pay some attention to a few other disciplines, but, even
though they may have given in to the allure of economics and bolstered
their intellectual self-image with the odd philosopher or historian, the
question remains why the law schools still tend to regard anthropology
as almost entirely irrelevant.

der artikel untersucht die innenpolitischen beweggründe und interessenlagen eines landes, das ein internationales abkommen unterzeichnet und sich damit den regeln und bestimmungen dieses abkommens unterwirft. insbesondere wird der frage nachgegangen, warum ein land wie die vereinigten staaten einer außenwirtschaftlichen vereinbarung zustimmt,bei der die vorteile mehr auf seiten des schwächeren vertragspartners liegen. empirisch nachvollzogen werden diese überlegungen anhand der streitschlichtungsinstitutionen bzw. -mechanismen der nafta bzw. des freihandelsabkommens zwischen den vereinigten staaten und kanada von 1988.

Federal Diversity Jurisdiction--Citizenship for Unincorporated Associations In 1889 the United States Supreme Court ruled in Chapman v.Barney' that a New York joint stock company was not to be considered a "citizen" for purposes of federal diversity jurisdiction. This decision provided the basis for the rule that unincorporated associations are not considered juridical persons, and that the citizenship of their individual members is determinative of federal diversity. ======================================= Protecting the Client When His Lawyer Dies The problems which arise when a practicing attorney suddenly diestake many shapes. Those which face the law firm are of both an ethical nature, involving the continuance or disposition of the lawyer's practice, and a legal nature, concerning the re-organization of the law firm or the termination of the attorney-client relationship.' The extent to which a client's interests are affected when his attorney dies depends upon two basic factors: whether he had notice of his lawyer's death; and whether he had time, after receiving notice, to take the necessary steps to protect his interests.

Competition law damages actions are often characterized by the uncertainty of the causal connection between the infringement and the harm. The damage consists in a pure economic loss flowing from an anticompetitive conduct. In such cases, the complexity of the markets structures, combined with the interdependence of individuals' assets, fuel this causal uncertainty. In this work, Claudio Lombardi elucidates the concept of causation in competition law damages actions and outlines its practical implications in competition litigation through the comparative analysis of the relevant statutory and case law, primarily in the European Union. This book should be read by practitioners, scholars, and graduate students with experience in competition law, as well as those interested in analyzing economic torts and causation in general.

The straightforward guide to surviving and thriving in law schoolEvery year more than 40,000 students enter law school and at any given moment there are over 125,000 law school students in the United States. Law school's highly pressurized, super-competitive atmosphere often leaves students stressed out and confused, especially in their first year. Balancing life and schoolwork, passing the bar, and landing a job are challenges that students often need help facing. In Law School For Dummies, former law school student Rebecca Fae Greene uses straight talk, sound advice, and gentle humor to help students sort through the swamp of coursework and focus on what's important–all while maintaining a life. She also offers rare insight on the law school experience for women, minorities, non-traditional, and non-Ivy League students. Rebecca Greene, JD, is a May 2003 graduate of Indiana University School of Law—Bloomington. A contributor to the American Bar Association’s Student Lawyer magazine, she also wrote for Peterson’s Law Schools.

International audience This article positions itself beyond the tension between copyright enforcement to preserve business models vs users' rights to access knowledge which are required to enjoy the opportunities provided by the disruptive technology. Instead of only applying law to peer-to-peer in order to control networks, and without implying that because a law is currently unenforceable, it should not exist, I propose to consider another angle of the relationship between law and technology, by applying peer-to-peer to the law, to introduce the argument of the distribution of law itself. Peer-to-peer technologies disrupting established economic models and legal categories could also inspire an evolution of the law as a regulatory system in order to integrate some of their technical features. This will lead to another kind of relationship between law and technology: after the control of technology by the law, which absorbs the new technology by expanding its scope of application, and in addition to the scholarship on regulation by code or of code (Lessig 2006; Brown & Marsden 2013) the law itself can try to integrate the technology. It might do so by reconfiguring its internal 'operating system' and shuffling the categories a bit more, instead of simply inflating them by adding an exception to the existing system.
