Wrongful Discharge: The Use Of Federal Law As A Source Of Public Policy, Nancy M. Modesitt
Wrongful Discharge: The Use Of Federal Law As A Source Of Public Policy, Nancy M. Modesitt
All Faculty Scholarship
Wrongful discharge in violation of public policy circumscribes the employment at-will doctrine by prohibiting employers from firing employees who engage in conduct that is deemed to be protected by state or federal public policy. While much has been written about the pros and cons of such wrongful discharge claims, to date no scholarship has focused on the problems that arise when the source of public policy is a federal rather than state statute. This article analyzes the historical and current approaches to the use of federal statutes as a source of public policy to protect employees against discharge, concluding that …

Legal Indeterminacy Made In America: American Legal Methods And The Rule Of Law, James Maxeiner
All Faculty Scholarship
The thesis of this Article is that the indeterminacy that plagues American law is "Made in America." It is not inherent in law. Rather, it is a product of specific choices of legal methods and of legal structures made in the American legal system.
Who Fits The Profile?: Thoughts On Race, Class, Clusters And Redevelopment, Audrey Mcfarlane
Who Fits The Profile?: Thoughts On Race, Class, Clusters And Redevelopment, Audrey Mcfarlane
All Faculty Scholarship
This essay shifts the discussion of gentrification and redevelopment to consider the mechanics of exclusion in the formulation and operation of today's commercial retail shopping venues typically included in today's urban redevelopment projects. In particular the essay discusses the exclusionary implications of geo-demographic cluster classification systems that use race and class to construct profiles of desirable customers for urban redevelopment schemes.
The New Inner-City: Class Transformation, Concentrated Affluence And The Obligations Of The Police Power, Audrey Mcfarlane
The New Inner-City: Class Transformation, Concentrated Affluence And The Obligations Of The Police Power, Audrey Mcfarlane
All Faculty Scholarship
This article examines the role of local government in the process of urban spatial restructuring (gentrification). In light of the disparate needs and competing interests of different racial and socioeconomic groups seeking a place in the city, there are limits to local government's ability to facilitate redevelopment projects that deliberately aim to accomplish class transformation and exclusively reconfigure the inner city for the affluent. These limits exist by virtue of implied obligations of the police power.
Redevelopment And The Four Dimensions Of Class In Land Use, Audrey Mcfarlane
Redevelopment And The Four Dimensions Of Class In Land Use, Audrey Mcfarlane
All Faculty Scholarship
This essay begins with the proposition that the battle over the exercise of eminent domain as a question of the extent to which we accept local economic development as a proper exercise of local governmental authority. In light of the reality that economic development seeks to accomplish redevelopment to meet the social needs and consumption tastes of the affluent, the issue of local governments' autonomy to engage in redevelopment for economic development purposes is suffused with socioeconomic class struggles over land use. Therefore, the changes wrought by redevelopment challenge us to think and talk about class in ways for which …

Preemption In The Rehnquist Court: A Preliminary Empirical Assessment, Michael S. Greve, Jonathan Klick
Preemption In The Rehnquist Court: A Preliminary Empirical Assessment, Michael S. Greve, Jonathan Klick
All Faculty Scholarship
The federal preemption of state law has emerged as a prominent field of study for legal scholars and political scientists. This rise to prominence of a technical and often dull field of jurisprudence is due to a number of developments-increasingly frequent federal statutory preemptions; the states' unprecedented aggressiveness in regulating business transactions, the expansion of corporate liability under state common law and the increased resort of corporate defendants to federal preemption defenses; and, not least, the Rehnquist Court's discovery of federalism and states' rights.
Unfortunately, the preemption debate has been marred by misperceptions and a lack of reliable data. Extravagant …
