Iannucci, Samantha

Then, this Comment will discuss the rights of the victim and the perpetrator in the context of each of those institutions. Finally, this Comment will discuss potential legislation and policy changes made at the University of Oregon, which will illustrate why the institution of higher education and the criminal justice system must each maintain their autonomy.

Though originally intended to ensure judicial recognition of arbitration, the FAA has since become a particularly contentious topic, splitting the opinions of pundits, legal scholars, and the Supreme Court. This Comment summarizes the FAA’s long and divisive jurisprudence, culminating in a critical review of the National Consumer Law Center's (NCLC) Model Act.

Specifically, this Comment will examine the goal of increasing female workforce participation and its implications for gender equality in Japan, as well as its conformity with the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), to which Japan is a signatory country.
