Extractions: The Congressional-Executive Commission on China held another in its series of staff-led Issues Roundtables, entitled "Intellectual Property Protection as Economic Policy: Will China Ever Enforce its IP Laws?" on Monday, May 16, from 2:00 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. in Room 192 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building. The health of U.S. IP industries as well as the development of IP industries in China may depend on whether China continues its role as the largest producer of pirated products in the world or joins the ranks of nations protecting IP. This Roundtable examined the current crisis resulting from the lack of IP enforcement in China. Looking beyond the simple question of how much piracy and counterfeiting occur, we hoped to examine the policies that have created the current problems and assess whether they are likely to continue in the future. The witnesses explained the scope of the problem, analyzed its source, and assessed which strategies will advance IP protection in China.

Title I of the Act substantially amends federal habeas corpus law as it applies to both state and federal prisoners whether on death row or imprisoned for a term of years by providing: a bar on federal habeas reconsideration of legal and factual issues ruled upon by state courts in most instances; creation of a general 1 year statute of limitations ; creation of a 6 month statute of limitation in death penalty cases; encouragement for states to appoint counsel for indigent state death row inmates during state habeas or unitary appellate proceedings; and a requirement of appellate court approval for repetitious habeas petitions.

Extractions: Second-year law student Chetema Lucas, right, and third-year law student Mary Lifson present a guardian ad litem report to St. Louis City Family Court Judge Thomas Frawley as part of the School of Law's Civil Justice Clinic. Immersing themselves in contested child custody cases, adult and child orders of protection and child support hearings, students in the School of Law's Civil Justice Clinic learn effective lawyering skills and make a difference in the lives of neglected children and adult domestic abuse victims. "The clinic exposes students to people who are living in incredibly dire circumstances," said Jane H. Aiken, J.D., professor of law, who has taught the clinic the last two years. "The students become aware of the role that they as lawyers can have in rectifying those situations getting an order of protection to get the woman away from the man who is abusing her, helping her get into a shelter, giving her that lift so that she can focus beyond the day-to-day and find a way to change her life and the lives of her children." Working in small teams, the law students tackle six to 10 cases apiece throughout the semester. Each student spends a minimum of 24 hours a week in client-related work, from conducting fact investigation to interviewing and counseling clients to drafting pleadings. They also gain first-hand experience with pretrial and trial procedure, as they identify and interview witnesses, subpoena documents, conduct direct and cross examinations and negotiate settlements in the St. Louis City and County Family Courts.

Extractions: By Professor Michael P. Scharf On December 21, 1988, a bomb exploded in the cargo hold of Pan Am Flight 103, killing all 259 passengers and crew, as well as eleven residents of the town of Lockerbie where the wreckage of the Boeing 747 crashed 31,000 feet below. After years of negotiations and diplomatic maneuvering, in April 1999, Libya surrendered the two Libyan officials accused of the bombing (Abdelbasset Ali Ahmed Al-Megrahi and Ali Amin Khalifa Fhimah) for trial in the Netherlands before a panel of Scottish judges at a former U.S. military base known as Camp Zeist. The trial is set to begin on May 3, 2000. It scheduled to last a year, with as many as 1,000 witnesses testifying. Events Leading to the Trial Though neither country had an extradition treaty with Libya, the United States and United Kingdom both demanded that Libya immediately surrender Al-Meghrahi and Fhimah to them for trial. Citing the "lynch mob atmosphere" prevailing in the United States and United Kingdom concerning this case, as well as its right to undertake its own prosecution of the accused under the Montreal Aircraft Sabotage Convention of 1971, Libya refused to comply with the United States and United Kingdom demands. In 1992, the UN Security Council responded to Libya's refusal by adopting Resolution 748, which imposes sanctions on Libya until it hands over the two accused for trial, makes compensation to the victims' families, and demonstrates with concrete actions its renunciation of terrorism. As expanded in 1993 with the adoption of Security Council Resolution 883, the sanctions required the members of the United Nations to freeze Libyan government funds in their banks, impose an embargo on military and oil production equipment on Libya, and prohibit flights arriving from or destined for Libya.

Extractions: Basic legal concepts of interest to the general business/industrial setting are examined for their relevance to the engineering profession. From this foundation, the specific areas of consumer, commercial and environmental law will be studied from the viewpoint of their effect on the practicing engineer, both as a corporate employee and as a professional in private practice. The case study method will be utilized and students will engage in supervised research projects dealing with current legal issues in specific areas of interest. Prerequisite: junior standing or permission of instructor. The interaction of law and technology is considered in several areas: the environment, safety and health, product liability and patents and trade secrets. The public policy which emerges as law in these areas arises from forums such as public hearings or courts of law. The focus of the course is twofold: (1) understanding present law in these areas, and (2) using the data from prior public hearings in at least two of these areas to evaluate critically the nature and validity of the technological input used in reaching the public policy decision. Prerequisite: 19-319 (Law and the Engineer) or 70-361 (Foundations of Law).

Uses the conflict as a microcosm to examine the legal regulation of the initiation of coercion and the conduct of military operations as well as issues of U.S. constitutional law such as the role of Congress in the use of military force and the 1973 War Powers Resolution. A study of antitrust and trade regulation law as encountered by practicing lawyers, both in litigation and in counseling. The seminar is team taught to enable a diverse antitrust practice to be explored, and covers problems involved in private antitrust lawsuits, and in dealing with government antitrust proceedings, including mergers. There is emphasis on advising clients on distribution, pricing and other aspects of their day-to-day decisions. Explores the interplay between new concepts in substantive and procedural criminal law and traditional doctrines. The last two decades have seen a dramatic change in federal criminal law, with the power of prosecutors growing far beyond the boundaries formerly thought to be imposed by the Constitution, by statute, and by common law. Using case law and legislative materials, as well as real world scenarios such as pre-trial restraints, indictments, forfeitures, and parallel civil actions, the course examines the relationship between new devices and old concepts.
