Is Unified Global Law System Possible?

Dear Readers, it has been on my mind for some time now to share this opinion with everyone. Our world has witnessed so many changes from the past ages to the present dispensation of time we all live in. Globalization has become the order of the day and corruption and lawless is taking a hold on almost everyone. The third-world and poorer country are becoming the subject and victims of authoritarian rule of the world's most powerful countries. Different organisations like the United Nations is just becoming a farce because it dances to the tune of the world' most celebrated countries who have enriched themselves from the devastation they caused upon other countries.

There has been a movement to have a unified global economy that will use a unified monetary system and the many arrangements to achieve this goal is presently going on. Refer to the links below for the unified currency:

My concern and what I want every law-conscious fellow to deliberate upon is "can we have a unified law?". A law that will be applicable to every mankind no matter which country you come from or which tribe you belong; a law that will supersede all other laws of every land; a law system that will promote no prejudice and respect no one above other; a law system that will maintain the highest law and order. Can u just imagine if all these are possible or does it mean that I am only fantasizing?

Well if it is possible, the next question would be:

• where is the international most supreme court house going to be located? - USA, Switzerland, Russia etc?


• who will be the most supreme judge?


• how is the system be organised to cater for all countries?


• which constitution, statutes and acts shall be drafted?


• will the world power agree to this?

As a matter of fact, I would opine that it would be the world most difficult project ever because of the complexity of human nature. But sincerely, it is achievable if hearts are set on it; therefore, all world's injustice can be brought to book.

Let me have you comment on this issue. Thanks and have a good day.

E-Commerce Law: Plaintiff Will Not Get Her “Days Inn” Court

On March 26, 2010, the California Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal of a slip-and-fall case filed by Xuan T. James, who was injured at a Minnesota Days Inn in which she reserved a room online. James v. T .H. Continental Ltd., 2010 WL 1170977 (Cal. App. 1 Dist. March 26, 2010). James brought suit in California against T.H. Continental, the operator of the hotel in Minnesota, because she made her hotel reservation from California on an interactive website operated by Days Inn.

T.H. Continental does not conduct business or own property in California. It is a franchisee of Days Inn Worldwide, Inc., and manages the Minnesota Days Inn where James was injured. Despite the lack of direct contacts with California, James contended that T.H. Continental had sufficient minimum contacts with California to establish personal jurisdiction based on three theories: (1) T.H. Continental purposefully availed itself of the privilege of doing business in California by operating an interactive website that allows California residents to make room reservations; (2) she entered into a contract with T.H. Continental in California when she reserved a room over the internet; and, (3) the franchise relationship between T.H. Continental and Days Inn Worldwide is sufficient to establish jurisdiction."
