Ecology 8 Crime in German East 9 Speak in Germany 10 Objection! 11 Membership List 13 Coming Events FROM THE EDITOR The German American Law Journal is designed to further the exchange of ideas and to discuss issues of interest to the German-American legal community. As further steps toward this objecti- ve, the authors in this issue explore matters that we think will widen the perspectives of a Ger- man-American legal prac- tice. Accordingly, Robert Lud- wig addresses an issue of fundamental concern to German-American com- mercial intercourse. Ex- port controls have been treated by many German companies with a cavalier attitude which justifiably evokes criticism in the United States. They have found hard to accept the fact that export controls travel with U.S.-made products. Since at least 1985, German companies have stated that they will look for other suppliers if U.S. products remain en- cumbered with quite agg- ressive U.S. export con- trols, as sensible as these may seem from a U.S. perspective. I remember vividly the booing I recei- ved as a speaker in Berlin when I explained the effect of U.S. reexport con- trol law on Germany's computer industry in 1988. This case study emerges from that background. An- other facet of that back- ground reflected in the article is that for many years, the Commerce De- partment's administrative law judges appear to have feuded with the Under Se- cretary for Export Admi- nistration over their alle- gedly misguided insisten- ce on the rule of law. Turning to other articles and contributions, litiga- tors and software addicts will want to look at Ge- rald Deck and Andreas Schmidt's evaluation of Objection! Those of you who need to fulfill Cali- fornia CLE requirements can earn credits with this serious, humorous and challenging game. I recommend Objection! to anyone who has become rusty on evidence and is bored with L.A. Law. Andreas Schmidt's report on a seminar dealing with crime in eastern Germany and Robert Ludwig's con- tact service for speakers at meetings in Germany supply the German com- ponents to this issue. Peter Pfund updates us with an interesting and encouraging report on the Hague Convention for the return of children. He reveals a pleasant sur- prise. Heike Gramckow shares insights into new European Community po- licies on the environment. As always, the German American Law Journal remains open to contribu- tors who are considering a forum in which to address fundamental issues in academic style, but the Journal will also provide space for tidbits from our work lives that may in- terest a larger audience.
