Law at the End of the Day

Larry Catá Backer's comments on current issues in transnational law and policy. These essays focus on the constitution of regulatory communities (political, economic, and religious) as they manage their constituencies and the conflicts between them. The context is globalization. This is an academic field-free zone: expect to travel "without documents" through the sometimes strongly guarded boundaries of international relations, constitutional, international, comparative, and corporate law.

Just Published: Papers Delivered at the International Law Symposium: "Critical Global Business Issues: When Theory Meets Practice"

(Pix (c) Larry Catá Backer 2015)

It was my great pleasure to have participated in the 2015 Symposium sponsored by the Center for Global Law and Policy and the Journal of International Law at Santa Clara University School of Law. The symposium brought together a strong and diverse group of people to speak to issues around the symposium theme: "Critical Global Business Issues: When Theory Meets Practice" (discussed HERE).

The Santa Clara Journal of International Law has just published the papers produced for that Symposium. They are quite interesting and worth a read, especially for those working on issues of business "regulation" beyond the state or those interested in the ways in which international standards may be seeping into the once well protected fortress of domestic corporate law.

The articles with links for easy access are set out below.

About this Site:

At the end of the day, law?

. . . . Emperors and kings

Are but obeyed in their several provinces,

Nor can they raise the wind or rend the clouds;

But his domain that exceeds in this

Stretcheth as far as doth the mind of man.

A sound magician is a mighty god.

* * *

Cut is the branch that might have grown full straight,

And burned is Apollo's laurel bough,

That sometimes grew within this learned man.

Faustus is gone; regard his hellish fall,

Whose fiendful fortune may exhort the wise

Only to wonder at unlawful things,

Whose deepness doth entice such forward wits

To practise more than heavenly power permits.

Christopher Marlowe, "Dr. Faustus" (before 1593)
