"With The Intent To Inflict Such Injury": The Courts And The Legislature Create Confusion In California Penal Code Section 12022.7, Michael M. Blazina

San Diego Law Review

This Comment discusses California Penal Code Section 12022.7, which states in relevant part, "any person who, with the intent to inflict such injury, personally inflicts great bodily injury on any person… shall… be punished by an additional term of three years." The Comment addresses whether the specific or the general intent label applies to section 12022.7's mental element and what the mental element of section 12022.7 actually requires.

Controlling Biotech Babies Following The Transfer Of Self-Replicating Inventions, Jeffrey W. Guise

San Diego Law Review

Transgenic animals are animals that are developed by inserting gene coding for a unique characteristic or valuable product into the genome of the animal. The animals can then pass this characteristic on to their progeny through reproduction. These animals can be patented in the United States as long as they meet the requirements of patentability set forth in patent law. This Comment examines the requirement of control that the patentee must exercise over the patented transgenic animals.
