Fracking, Water Quality and Public Health: Examining Current Laws and Regulations (March 20)

Improved technology developments in directional drilling and hydraulic fracturing, more commonly known as "fracking," have resulted in an oil and gas production boom nationwide. Fracking involves pumping pressurized water, sand, and chemicals down wells to crack bedrock, freeing petroleum and natural gas. Wastewater discharges, hydraulic fracturing fluid releases, and other accidental spills pose potential water quality risks, sparking concern for public health.

This webinar will examine the laws and regulations governing water quality issues related to fracking, recent state court decisions affecting regulations, and implications for public health.

Fourth Circuit Publication Practices, Carl W. Tobias

Law Faculty Publications

Certain publication practices, especially dependence on issuing unpublished opinions, are one major response of federal courts to the increasing number of appeals. Few observers have assessed how specific tribunals employ these practices, although a recent study elucidates them. The Commission on Structural Alternatives for the Federal Courts of Appeals (Commission) gathered much useful data, which have remained strikingly constant, on each court. Because Fourth Circuit's publication practices and reliance on unpublished decisions allow the court to manage a large docket and suggest that it may not enunciate the common law, this Article scrutinizes those practices.

The Article first describes the …

Transactions Of The Supreme Court Of The Territory Of Michigan: A Review, Francis S. Philbrick

Michigan Law Review

Of the colonial documents that record the legal origins of our original states, those of Maryland have been published in relatively generous but still inadequate number, while collections for other states are still scantier. A sampling is all that a multiplicity of destructive agents have left us as a possibility. The hope, however, has recently become permissible that an awakened interest among lawyers may secure us, for publication, an expert sampling in place of that made by fire, vermin, mould, and official neglect in leaving us the records still surviving, and that lawyers may also give us proper editions of …
