The Case For Integrated Pollution Control, Lakshman Guruswamy

Checks And Balance: Limitations On The Power Of Congressional Oversight, Steven Shimberg
Checks And Balance: Limitations On The Power Of Congressional Oversight, Steven Shimberg
Law and Contemporary Problems
An examination by Lazarus (1991) of the adversarial effects of congressional oversight on the EPA is erroneous in its premise that congressional oversight is a powerful tool that can make or break the EPA and unduly influence the implementation of federal environmental policy. A review of the seven "disadvantages" of congressional oversight of the EPA cited by Lazarus is presented.
The Internal Structure Of Epa Rulemaking, Thomas O. Mcgarity
The Internal Structure Of Epa Rulemaking, Thomas O. Mcgarity
Law and Contemporary Problems
The EPA's evolving internal decisionmaking structures as they relate to the agency's primary function of promulgating rules and regulations are examined. As an agency addressing complex scientific, economic and technological issues, the EPA must draw upon many different kinds of expertise and has developed a unique version of "bureaucratic pluralism" as manifested in the "team" model that dominates the EPA's institutional thought process.
The Tragedy Of Distrust In The Implementation Of Federal Environmental Law, Richard J. Lazarus
The Tragedy Of Distrust In The Implementation Of Federal Environmental Law, Richard J. Lazarus
Law and Contemporary Problems
The relationship between the EPA and Congress Since the founding of the EPA in 1970 has been marked by congressional oversight that has seriously frustrated the development and implementation of federal environmental protection policy. A destructive cycle has emerged: agency distrust has led to the failure of its policies, creating further distrust and further failure.

Limitations Of Sovereign Immunity Under The Clean Water Act: Empowering States To Confront Federal Polluters, Corinne Beckwith Yates
Limitations Of Sovereign Immunity Under The Clean Water Act: Empowering States To Confront Federal Polluters, Corinne Beckwith Yates
Michigan Law Review
This Note considers whether civil penalties that states impose on federal agencies for violations of NPDES permits arise under federal law and thus are covered by the Clean Water Act's waiver of sovereign immunity - an issue the Supreme Court is scheduled to address during the 1991 term. Part I outlines the history of the Clean Water Act, discussing Supreme Court decisions and statutory amendments that affect the sovereign immunity provision. Part II explains the mechanics of the NPDES state permit process and examines, through analysis of statutory provisions, the degree of control retained by the EPA over individual states …

The Effects Of Fee Shifting On The Settlement Rate: Theoretical Observations On Costs, Conflicts, And Contingency Fees, John J. Donohue Iii

Comment On Donohue, Danny Boggs
Law and Contemporary Problems
A comment on John J. Donohue III's article on the effects of fee-shifting rules on the rate of settlements in lawsuits is presented. The article bears out the idea that something may work fine in practice but it remains to be proven if it will work in theory.

Agenda: Innovation In Western Water Law And Management, University Of Colorado Boulder. Natural Resources Law Center

Conference organizers and/or faculty included University of Colorado School of Law professors Lawrence J. MacDonnell, David H. Getches, Charles F. Wilkinson and Richard B. Collins.
Pressures of population, drought, and changing water use have provided the impetus for numerous innovations in water law and management in recent years. The Center's annual conference June 5-7, 1991, will look at innovation and change in five areas--water planning, special water management areas, negotiated settlements of tribal water rights, conjunctive use of ground and surface water, and public values in water decision making. Each session will begin with talks by experts from several western …

Defining "Green": Toward Regulation Of Environmental Marketing Claims, Roger D. Wynne
Defining "Green": Toward Regulation Of Environmental Marketing Claims, Roger D. Wynne
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Note joins a rising chorus calling for government regulation of green marketing claims. It attempts to encourage and add a sense of urgency to a burgeoning regulatory movement by highlighting some of the legal issues that such regulation entails. Part I identifies a gap in the law: the inability of current truth-in-advertising laws to clarify the legality of green marketing claims. Part II urges bridging that gap quickly; it examines the costs of continued nonregulation and describes some of the forms regulation is taking. Part III attempts to allay any fears that such regulations might be challenged on first …
Review Essay: Sunstein, Statutes, And The Common Law--Reconciling Markets, The Communal Impulse, And The Mammoth State, Peter L. Strauss
Review Essay: Sunstein, Statutes, And The Common Law--Reconciling Markets, The Communal Impulse, And The Mammoth State, Peter L. Strauss
Michigan Law Review
The following pages principally address Professor Sunstein's basic argument for building on, rather than defending against, legislative judgments, and so virtually ignore the details of his proposals for statutory interpretation. Part I outlines Sunstein's case for some regulation - the necessary failures of market ordering and the consequent need for a mixed economy in which government regulation intervenes in important ways. Part II addresses Sunstein's decision to tie his analysis to the public law innovations of the New Deal, and suggests ways in which the analysis might be strengthened by attention to earlier struggles and changes - changes in common …
The Commodity Exchange Monopoly – Reform Is Needed, Jerry W. Markham
The Commodity Exchange Monopoly – Reform Is Needed, Jerry W. Markham
Faculty Publications
In theory, the commodity futures markets are the essence of competition. All orders are required to be exposed to trading pits where traders vie competitively and aggressively to assure the best possible execution price. On the surface, as observed from the exchange galleries or on television, the exchanges do appear to be highly competitive, particularly when one views hundreds of traders screaming and gesticulating wildly for orders. The now famous sting operations on the Chicago exchanges in 1989, however, have provided dramatic evidence that a dangerous symbiotic relationship has developed among traders on the floor that is undermining competition and …

The Development Of The Equal Treatment Principle In The International Debt Crisis, Carsten Thomas Ebenroth, Rüdiger Woggon
The Development Of The Equal Treatment Principle In The International Debt Crisis, Carsten Thomas Ebenroth, Rüdiger Woggon
Michigan Journal of International Law
Since the outbreak of the international debt crisis at the beginning of the 1980s, debtor countries have reached a series of agreements with private creditor banks, with the aim of reducing the financial strain on the debtor countries and enabling them to service their debts. Long-term extensions of maturities are a central aspect of many of these arrangements. Included in the restructurings are all the medium- and long-term claims of the creditor banks, often short-term trade credits and interbank lines, and, in individual cases such as the restructuring of the debts of Poland, Yugoslavia, Costa Rica, and some African States, …

Authority And Responsibility: The Jurisprudence Of Deference, Joseph Vining
Authority And Responsibility: The Jurisprudence Of Deference, Joseph Vining
Articles
he connection between authority and responsibility is such that the one cannot be thought of without the other. In legal method, close reading and rereading of a text marks it as an authoritative text; the presupposition of mind which is necessary to close reading is presupposition of a responsible mind. In the working of institutions that embody authority, the disposition to follow the decisions and statements of a person responsible for a matter inevitably rests upon a presupposition that the decisions and statements followed are those of the responsible person. As that presupposition fades with bureaucratization of decision and writing, …
