Invoking the Doctrine of Forum Non Conveniens: A Comparison of Defensive Tactics and a Practical Assessment
Aaron L. Levenstadt

Volume 3, Issue 2, Spring 2005

A rejuvenated debate over the legal doctrine of forum non conveniens (FNC) is attributed to an increase in international trade and the rise of multinational corporations. The global activity of these companies renders them potentially amenable to legal proceedings in several countries. The FNC doctrine is a tool to help select the most appropriate host nation. This paper focuses on the application of the FNC in cases involving the Alien Tort and Claims Act (ATCA), the oldest American law still in force. Two classes of ATCA cases are analyzed: those that have been dismissed to foreign forums on FNC grounds and those that have resisted the motions to dismiss. The reasons why certain cases are dismissed while others are retained are detailed. Finally, following this analysis I argue that the significant deference awarded to American plaintiffs relative to non-Americans is discriminatory and contrary to the goals of the FNC doctrine.

CHINESE ENDANGERED SPECIES AT THE BRINK OF EXTINCTION: A CRITICAL LOOK AT THE CURRENT LAW AND POLICY IN CHINA

Volume 11, 2005 p.215

The People’s Republic of China harbors a vast number of plant and animal species, but those species have long been threatened by a thriving illegal trade. China became a signatory to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species in 1981 and has since passed a number of wildlife protection laws and regulations in an effort to curb the illegal trade and begin revitalizing some of its nearly-extinct animal populations. This article critically examines China’s legislation and judicial decisions, concluding that much work remains to be done to protect endangered species in China.

[ARTICLES] 150 Years of Patent Office Practice
Lerner, J.
American Law and Economics Review
Volume 7, Issue 1, Spring 2005

This article examines the administrative practices of the patent offices in 60 countries over a 150-year period, a little explored arena where government bodies and private firms interact. Larger and wealthier countries where international trade is more important give patent applicants more options. In these nations, patent office administrators’ flexibility is often restricted and the responsibility for determining patentability divided between the patent office and the courts. Civil law nations tend to rely solely on the courts to determine patent validity and restrict the discretion of patent office administrators. They also tend to offer patent applicants more options.
