Judicial Responses To The Eeoc's Failure To Attempt Conciliation, Michigan Law Review
Judicial Responses To The Eeoc's Failure To Attempt Conciliation, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This Note suggests that a court faced with inadequate conciliation efforts by the EEOC should dismiss the action without prejudice. Part I argues that dismissal better serves the remedial purpose of the statute than summary judgment. Part II then demonstrates that dismissal satisfies the policy concerns of courts that dispose of inadequately conciliated suits. Although dismissal may not promote judicial efficiency as well as summary judgment, courts and the Commission can handle the dismissal to minimize duplication. Part III advances dismissal for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted as the appropriate procedural vehicle for disposing …
Eis Supplements For Improperly Completed Projects: A Logical Extension Of Judicial Review Under Nepa, Michigan Law Review
Eis Supplements For Improperly Completed Projects: A Logical Extension Of Judicial Review Under Nepa, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This Note argues that the private cause of action under NEPA retains its utility despite the completion of the project sued upon. Part I describes the procedural implementation of the policy concerns underlying NEPA through the EIS process for proposed actions, and the EIS supplementation process for project changes made after the original EIS has been prepared. Part II examines current law applicable to projects completed in violation of NEPA and concludes that the denial of post-completion relief conflicts with the underlying goals of NEPA. Part III analyzes extension of relief to completed projects, and proposes court-ordered EIS supplementation for …
Deducting The Cost Of Smoking Cessation Programs Under Internal Revenue Code Section 213, Michigan Law Review
Deducting The Cost Of Smoking Cessation Programs Under Internal Revenue Code Section 213, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This Note argues that enrollment fees for a smoking cessation program should be classified as deductible medical expenses. Part I defends this conclusion without questioning the accepted interpretation of section 213(e). Recent medical evidence indicates that the nicotine addiction that cessation program patients seek to break is itself a disease. And even prior to the onset of more serious health consequences, sustained cigarette smoking significantly impairs the functioning of the lungs and heart. Under this analysis, enrollment fees should be deductible as expenses for the treatment of an existing disease or defect, and as "amounts paid . . . for …
Federal Agency Access To Grand Jury Transcripts Under Rule 6 (E), Michigan Law Review
Federal Agency Access To Grand Jury Transcripts Under Rule 6 (E), Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Part I examines the courts' current certainty-based perspective, and rejects this approach because it sacrifices important interests in civil law enforcement and judicial consistency for speculative and coincidental reductions in grand jury abuse. Part II defends the proposed standard by arguing that it comports with the language and intent of the rule while more effectively advancing the policy interests in civil law enforcement and grand jury secrecy.
Interest Representation And The Federal Land Policy And Management Act, Michigan Law Review
Interest Representation And The Federal Land Policy And Management Act, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
The role of the BLM under the FLPMA, this Note argues, is accurately captured in the "interest representation" model of administrative law; judicial review under this model serves to vindicate the "participation rights" of parties interested in public lands management. Part I places the FLPMA in the context of other recent congressional reform efforts and attempts to justify heightened judicial scrutiny of the BLM's activities. To protect citizens' participation rights, it concludes, courts should recognize a limited right to initiate the planning and management provisions of the FLPMA. The Act, in other words, should be interpreted to comprehend "agenda forcing" …

Protecting Individual Liberties In The Context Of Screening For Child Abuse, Donald N. Duquette
Protecting Individual Liberties In The Context Of Screening For Child Abuse, Donald N. Duquette
Book Chapters
A central role of the law in our society is to act as buffer between individual citizens and society at large. When personal freedom or liberty is at stake, the law acts as arbiter between individuals and government and allows liberty to be abrogated only after "due process of law." Due process is an attempt to insure fair treatment of all concerned-a quest for fairness. In what follows due process will be discussed further together with some examples of the due process model as applied to the child protection system. Certain risks to personal freedom are inherent in child protection. …
