Mexico’s telecommunications sector mirrors other industries in Mexico that have long been subject monopolistic business practices. Telmex, Mexico’s telecommunications monopoly benefited heavily from political corruption and back-room alliances during the rapid growth of the telecom sector in the 1990s. The Mexican government effectively hindered foreign competition from challenging Telmex’s control of incoming and outgoing communications apparatus and transmission lines, which prompted the United States Trade Representative to file a formal complaint before World Trade Organization to force Mexico to open its telecommunications markets to foreign investment and foreign competition. This article examines the United States dispute against Telmex and the international trade agreements that govern the business relationships between multinational corporations, the state, and consumers.

Death qualification is the process by which prospective jurors are questioned at voir dire regarding their attitudes toward the death penalty. Those who indicate they are so opposed to capital punishment that they either (1) would not find the defendant guilty regardless of the evidence, or (2) would not consider death as a possible sentence regardless of the circumstances of the crime, are excused for cause. They are not “death qualified” and may not sit.
Others have pressed for an end to the “disturbing practice” of death qualification because it denies capital defendants their constitutional rights to a jury drawn from a fair cross-section of the community and to an impartial jury. This article offers an understanding of the law of death qualification as it presently exists that ensures that capital defendants are provided the protections to which they are entitled, without requiring a change in the law.

Cynthia Hawkins DeBose and Carla Bradley, Race and Transracial Adoption: The Answer is Neither Simply Black or White nor Right or Wrong, 51 Cath. U. L. Rev. 1227 (2002)Clicking on the button will copy the full recommended citation.
In this article, the authors examine the crisis in the explosion in the number of children in the foster care system in the United States; and in particular, the effects on African American children. The article applies the interdisciplinary tools of law and counseling to analyze current structure and policy of transracial adoption and its implications for African American children.
The authors argue that transracial adoptions and the color-blind approach, which is encouraged and required by federal statute, do not serve the best interests of the majority of African American children in foster care who are awaiting permanent homes. Rather, the two-pronged approach of increased recruitment of African American, non-kin adoptive families in addition to an in-depth focus on kinship care and adoption will more readily decrease the number of children living in foster care.
