10 incredibly ironic flaws you can find in our constitution
1. The Philippine Constitution contains loopholes that have allowed political dynasties to continue and have prevented citizens from initiating constitutional amendments directly. There are no enabling laws to implement anti-dynasty provisions or laws governing citizens' initiative.
2. The Constitution vaguely defines Congress's power to amend it and does not specify if votes should be joint or separate. It also does not address if Congress should convene as a constituent assembly. This has prevented constitutional amendments.
3. Other loopholes include provisions allowing presidents to be "reelected" by running again after resigning, limitations that have made the Commission on Human Rights a "lame duck" agency, and impeachment processes that can be abused through weak complaints.
Chapter 3 - The U.S. Supreme Court: The Final Word
The Supreme Court is the highest court in the US and its decisions cannot be overturned by any other body. It has the power of judicial review to determine the constitutionality of laws. Cases reach the Court through appeals or in its original jurisdiction over disputes between states. The 9 Justices are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate, holding lifetime appointments. Their decisions depend on whether the Court's composition is considered more liberal or conservative at the time.
Revamping the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act
This document summarizes an article that argues the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) has failed in its goal of regulating computer crime. It claims most CFAA provisions duplicate existing criminal laws, while provisions regarding unauthorized access and damages lack proper definition, leading to court confusion. The article examines which computer crimes require new laws and concludes only unauthorized access and damages were necessary additions. However, Congress failed to adequately define these terms, resulting in overbroad application and prosecution abuse. An alternative approach of delegating rulemaking to an administrative agency is proposed.

Ch.01 private and public international law
This document outlines the distinction between private international law and public international law.

The document then discusses the Yahoo incorporation case, where French groups sued Yahoo for allowing auctions of Nazi memorabilia on its site, which was accessible in France and violated French law. The court ordered Yahoo to block French users from accessing these auctions. Finally, the document notes that a rule of private international law can become public international law if incorporated into a treaty or established as international custom through decisions of international tribunals.
Statutory Interpretation 3
This document discusses statutory interpretation and two approaches: the mischief rule and purposive approach. The mischief rule examines what problem an act was meant to address by considering prior common law, the reasons for the act, and remedies proposed.

Wrotham Park, and Royal College of Nursing v. DHSS. It also notes advantages, disadvantages, and limitations of the mischief rule.
Is there more damage than remedy in reforming patent law
This document provides an overview and analysis of patent infringement damages calculations in the United States and proposed reforms. It discusses the current statutory framework for calculating damages, including reasonable royalties and entire market value rule. The document also examines proposed damages calculation reforms in the Patent Reform Acts of 2007 and 2009, which seek to modify the entire market value rule and require apportionment of damages to the inventive contribution over prior art. The reforms face opposition related to proposed changes to the damages calculation methodology.
Self Executing
The document discusses how treaties are ratified under US law and whether the Rome Statute is self-executing. It explains that for a treaty to have effect as domestic law, it must be self-executing or require no further legislation. While the Rome Statute does not explicitly require implementing legislation, the US would need to modify extradition laws to fully comply. However, complementarity under the Rome Statute does not require the US to adopt the same crimes into domestic law to claim jurisdiction.

Section 1983 Litigation by Karen Blum - 136 pages
This chapter discusses the "under color of law" element of a Section 1983 claim. It explains that this element is typically met when government employees are performing their official duties. However, when private actors are involved, courts examine whether there was joint action between public and private parties, an intertwined relationship, state encouragement of the private conduct, or a public function was performed. The chapter provides that when suing a government entity, such as a city or county, the "under color of law" requirement is met because the entity was created by state law. Government employees generally act "under color of law" when performing their job duties, even if contrary to state law or when exercising professional discretion.
