Residency Law Could Stabilize Local Economic Base, Chester Smolski
Residency Law Could Stabilize Local Economic Base, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Should city employees be required to live in the communities which employ them? This is the question which more and more cities are seriously considering as they seek ways to stem the unabated flow of their residents to the suburbs and to raise needed tax dollars."
Decriminalizing The Marijuana User: A Drafter's Guide, Richard J. Bonnie
Decriminalizing The Marijuana User: A Drafter's Guide, Richard J. Bonnie
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
The article does not discuss the arguments in favor of decriminalization, a matter which the author' and others have covered elsewhere. Nor does the article consider the even more difficult questions involved in a legislative decision to legalize the drug and authorize its distribution for nonmedical uses. International obligations, federal law, and current political realities preclude enactment of a regulatory approach toward the availability of marijuana, including any variant of the so-called alcohol model. Although a state conceivably could repeal its laws against cultivation and distribution of marijuana, including only the federal prohibitions in effect, such an overt departure from …

The Proposed "Science Court", James A. Martin
Michigan Law Review
This article discusses the desirability of establishing some kind of science court. Section I examines arguments in favor of the creation of a science court.

Statewide Land Use Plan For R.I., Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The Rhode Island section of the American Institute of Planners has called it "the most significant single item of legistlation in the history of land planning in this state," and yet there is the real possibility that this far reaching measure may not be introduced for enactment in this session of the General Assembly."

G77-346 Land Use Decisions, Duane A. Olsen
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
New challenges associated with scarce energy and the natural environment have focused attention upon the conflict between public and private interests in land. A review of the characteristics of these public and private interests seems useful for the evaluation of present and future land use policies.
Improving Police Discretion: Rationality In Handling Public Inebriates, David Aaronson , C. Dienes, Michael Musheno
Improving Police Discretion: Rationality In Handling Public Inebriates, David Aaronson , C. Dienes, Michael Musheno
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
This two-part article reports on the findings of the "prescriptive" phase of the American University Law School's Project on Public Inebriation.' First, we provide a framework or model designed to contribute to efforts to improve the rationality of police discretion and the quality of discretionary justice. Second, we seek to increase understanding of, and provide the basis for improving, the intake process whereby public inebriates are delivered to designated facilities-jails, detoxification centers, etc.-in criminal and decriminalized jurisdictions. While the article focuses on the discretionary power of police officers to remove street inebriates, it should increase awareness of problems of decriminalizing …
Case Note: Labor Law - Collective Bargaining - Job Security Is A Proper Subject Of Negotiations Between A Public Employer And Public Employee Organization Under The Taylor Law, Joan W. Keenan
Fordham Urban Law Journal
In this case note, Joan W. Keenan analyzes Board of Education v. Yonkers Federation of Teachers, 40 N.Y.2d 268, 353 N.E.2d 569, 386 N.Y.S.2d 657 (1976). In 1975 the city of Yonkers was plagued by a severe financial emergency. As part of an effort to balance its budget, plaintiff Yonkers City Board of Education unilaterally terminated the services of a number of teachers. Defendant Yonkers Federation of Teachers demanded arbitration on this issue under the terms of a job security clause contained in the collective bargaining agreement between the Board and the Federation. Plaintiff then brought a proceeding for a …
