Understanding Historical Slavery, Its Legacies, and Its Lessons for Combating Modern-Day Slavery and Human Trafficking
The Brazilian Legal Profession in the Age of Globalization
This book provides the first comprehensive analysis of globalization's impact on the Brazilian legal profession. Employing original data from nine empirical studies, the book details how Brazil's need to restructure its economy and manage its global relationships contributed to the emergence of a new 'corporate legal sector' - a sector marked by increasingly large and sophisticated law firms and in-house legal departments. This corporate legal se…

Brazilian Legal Profession in the Age of Globalization
Transformative Justice, Reparations and Transatlantic Slavery
This article considers lessons recent debates concerning transitional and transformative justice, and surrounding transformative reparations, could offer to discussions regarding reparations for transatlantic slavery. Even transitional justice programmes aiming to provide transformative reparations in the form of development programmes (such as healthcare, education and housing provision) have enabled governments to avoid addressing structural ca…
The Integration of Law into Global Business Solutions
Using a unique data set comprised of original research of both the corporate Web sites of the Big Four—PwC, Deloitte, KPMG, and EY—and their affiliated law firms, as well as archival material from the legal and accountancy press, this article documents the rise and transformation of the Big Four legal service lines since the enactment of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. Moreover, it demonstrates that there are good reasons to believe that these so…
History, Truth Telling and the Legacies of Slavery in South Africa
If South Africa is to overcome its legacies of apartheid, it needs to address the deeper historical foundations of the country's present-day inequalities and strained social relations. In particular, how Cape slavery helped establish patterns of socioeconomic and racial inequality from which apartheid later emerged. Since 1994, new museum galleries and a revised national curriculum have sought to do this. However, Cape slavery's links to aparthei…

Les traités signés entre les Premières nations et le gouvernement canadien sont formellement inscrits dans la Constitution du pays et sont en cela la loi suprême du Canada. Les droits des autochtones et ceux découlant des traités qu’ils ont signés furent reconnus et confirmés par l’article 35 de la Loi constitutionnelle canadienne de 1982. Les traités numérotés furent signés avec les Premières nations entre 1871 et 1921. Au Manitoba, sept traités…
Mapping the Ecology of China's Corporate Legal Sector
Globalization is rapidly changing the landscape of law practice in China, especially its corporate legal sector. This article reports on the preliminary findings of the China research of the Globalization, Lawyers, and Emerging Economies (GLEE) Project-a comparative study that examines how globalization is reshaping the market for legal services in important emerging economies and how these developments are contributing to the transformation of t…

How are relationships between corporate clients and law firms evolving? Drawing on interview and survey data from 166 chief legal officers of S&P 500 companies from 2006–2007, we find that—contrary to standard depictions of corporate client-provider relationships—(1) large companies have relationships with ten to twenty preferred providers; (2) these relationships continue to be enduring; and (3) clients focus not only on law firm platforms and l…
Class Not Race in Legal Ethics
Susan Carle has given us a fascinating, thoroughly researched, and well-argued examination of the early history of the modern civil rights movement. She frames her inquiry of this rarely investigated period in terms of the tension between the NAACP's litigation tactics during the early part of the twentieth century and the professed ethics of the establishment lawyers who authored and approved these controversial measures. How, she asks, could le…
Rollin'On the River
Lempert, Chambers, and Adams's superb new study of the careers of minority and white graduates of the University of Michigan Law School will come as welcome news to those who value diversity on this nation's college and professional school campuses. Alongside the Bowen-Box study (1998), to which the authors link their work, the Michigan data provide powerful evidence of the many benefits of affirmative action for both minority and majority studen…

Two Paths to the Mountaintop? The Role of Legal Education in Shaping the Values of Black Corporate Lawyers
Who's in Charge of U.S. Indian Policy? Congress and the Supreme Court at Loggerheads over American Indian Religious Freedom
Our interest in Indian self-government today is not the interest of sentimentalists or antiquarians. We have a vital concern with Indian self-government because the Indian is to America what the Jew was to the Russian Czars and Hitler's Germany. For us, the Indian tribe is the miner's canary and when it flutters and droops we know that the poison gasses of intolerance threaten all other minorities in our land. And who of us is not a member of som…
