The Traveling Warberries?" "No," I patiently corrected a bored young clerk recently at a local books-and-music big box. "Wilburys.

As much recent scholarship points out, the American labor movement has suffered a severe decline in membership and influence over the past three decades. Various reasons are put forward to explain labor's desuetude, and a number of proposals have been suggested as a means to reinvigorate unionism. One of those proposals is advanced by Charles Morris, a well-known legal scholar. Morris contends that the National Labor Relations (Wagner) Act did not mandate exclusive union representation and that unions should attempt to create a "members only" organizing strategy to gain a foothold in companies. The Wagner Act rests on three core principles which support the bargaining system. Those principles are, in order of importance, a ban on company unions, exclusive representation for all members ...

Giving money away for free is not behavior one expects from ordinary, rational Americans. But it's something they do every day in massive numbers - that is if you consider the penny to be money.
At store counters around the country, people will leave pennies for the next customer, something they'd never do with a dime or quarter or any piece of currency they actually value. The poor, pathetic penny has become clutter in the nation's pockets, the irritating detritus of cash transactions that inconveniently don't end in a 5 or 0. Pennies sit in jars around the country, waiting in desuetude until their owners work up the energy to haul them to a bank or to a supermarket with a Coinstar kiosk where they can be exchanged for useful money.

The doctrine of sources has served international law well over the past century, providing structure and coherence during a time when international law was expanding rapidly and dramatically. But the doctrine's explanatory power is increasingly being challenged. Current doctrine tells us that treaties are international law; empirical evidence, however, suggests that treaties are poor predictors of state practice. The expansion of the international community, the rise of human rights, developments in international legal theory, and the international system's need to adapt to changing circumstances have also put pressure on the reified role of "treaty" in identifying rules of international law.
Drawing from a number of theories developed to explain why states comply with international...
