To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.1 I.

This paper studies the concept of "establishment," the minimum threshold for a U.S. bankruptcy court to recognize a foreign bankruptcy proceeding.

I compare these three manifestations of establishment in order to come to a more accurate understanding of the concept than the current rule of thumb: "place of business." Specifically, I dissect the shared definition of establishment into separate elements that must be met in order to satisfy the test. I then analyze each element in the context of hypothetical examples. Finally, I argue that mere registration of a company in a jurisdiction will not suffice to meet the definition of establishment.

House leaders are likely to hold a test vote on issues related to homosexual "marriage" to show where House members stand before they push ahead with an actual constitutional amendment. Options under discussion for a House vote, Republican aides said, include legislation that would strip federal courts of their jurisdiction to hear cases regarding the definition of marriage, and a measure that would define marriage in the District of Columbia as being between a man and a woman.
