Dreams Of Gold is a pretty good movie. I think some people would like to think that Mel Fisher was just a heartless mercenery S.O.B. but you have to admire the lifestyle and the gall to go out and try and get what your after. Anyhow, interesting read here, I’m not at all too familiar with a lot of the legal stuff that’s going on out there.

Hi,

I was fascinated to learn of this law as well, particularly since I am now living in Norway. So I looked up some information on Norwegian websites and found out that the law was changed in 2003. My blog about it is here: http://www.zoeselina.com/2008/apple-marmalade-not-in-norway-baby/

Comment on Should Living Human Beings Ever Be Cultural Property? by Robb Shecter

Hi,

I’m a 1L at Lewis & Clark Law School and also fluent in German. This is a great article — thanks for the summary, and the debunking of the anti-social-multiculturalism.

I pulled up the German statute you linked to. It’s apparently the equivalent of a slip law — the document itself contains several newly enacted laws that were decided at the same time, but have otherwise nothing to do with each other.

The second one is the item of interest: “Gesetz zur Verbesserung…” Here’s a first pass at translation and some commentary. I’m going to take the quick route — translating at the lower word for word level, not so much idiom for idiom. Won’t be idiomatic English, but the meaning will be clear.

Title: “Law for the Improvement of the civil protections against acts of violence, and transfer of possession of a house in time of divorce, and other updates.”

Article 1 – Domestic Violence
sec. 1 – Sets out the measures a court may take against the Defendant — your typical restraining order stuff. Can also be enforced for mere threats. Also enforceable if the D has been drinking, or similar.
sec. 2 – The court can force a temporary transfer of possession of a shared domicile from the D to the P after there’s been violence.

The other articles seem to simply be enumerating tiny insertions and deletions into some other existing code.

Hope this helps!

I thought you might this interesting too – “Court orders parents to change baby’s name from Friday to Gregory”

Friday Germano is now Gregory Germano. The change came after an Italian court ordered the 1-year-old boy’s parents to rename him because his birth name, Venerdi, was “ridiculous or shameful.”

Venerdi means Friday in Italian. It was also the name of a character in Robinson Crusoe.

“They thought that it recalled the figure of a savage, thus creating a sense of inferiority and failing to guarantee the boy the necessary decorum,” the family’s lawyer, Paola Rossi, tells the Associated Press.
