    The Lani Guinier Memorial Team members (Petitioner):
    Daniel Ergas ’23, Gillian Hannahs ’23, Emily Hatch ’23, Samantha Neal ’23*, Sierra Polston ’23*, and Natalie Tsang ’23.

    The Ames Moot Court Competition is one of the most prestigious competitions for appellate brief writing and advocacy in the country. The students participating in the Final Round started the competition in fall of their 2L year. Two teams progressed to the Final Round through their strong research abilities and excellent written and oral advocacy.

    Conflict of laws case :the situs choice of law is usually (the aggregate of ) the totality of the contacts. Place of incorporation, physical location of the origin of the alleged harm, and site of the injury. Diversity of citizenship effects choice of forum , federal or state jurisdiction . Lots of old cases like Worldwide Volkswagen are similar , Interstate vs intrastate commerce . Thorny issues of standing ,jurisdiction, tort , and causality. As usual in moot court competitions one side had the better argument on standing jurisdiction , the other on substantive ( tort ) law. But, did the judges render an advisory opinion?

    The problem of the oil company and global warming does not concern one American state with another, but concerns the world and all human beings on all parts of the globe, and I believe the solution
    Instead of imposing a tax or compensation on it, every oil company in the whole world
    That the oil companies be required to designate a financial fund to start using modern technology in reducing the risk of emissions that affect the climate and health

    • @hassansalih3661
      @hassansalih3661 Před rokem +1

      Opinion The real problem is that, as the first speaker said, there is no evidence or way to measure harm. That is redundant
      Because the damage is measured by the direct causal relationship by technicians with specialization from climate change scientists and statisticians, and when the case is transferred to them, the opinion of the court almost ends, and the opinion of the court remains formal, and the opinion and decision of the court are the decision of the technicians in the phenomenon of global warming
      For artists, the damage is clear, and repeating the crime of climate pollution is an ongoing crime

    • @hassansalih3661
      @hassansalih3661 Před rokem

      My dear, if you go back to my first comment and suggest that every oil company be required to create a financial fund in order to use modern technology in order to stop the phenomenon of pollution, and this is possible, not taxes, because taxes solve an immediate crisis and do not solve the crisis at the future level
      He stressed that the crime of pollution is a crime that transcends borders and falls within the law of varicose veins, and because the law of varicose veins is different, this crisis remains from one year to the next.
      And the question that arises, does the crisis have a solution? Yes, it is found by means of modern technology, for example, the gas associated with oil is burned and bliss.
      And thank you for the harsh words that she said (you do not understand) and he confirmed that I understand you
