"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.

Due to this difficulty, the author recommends that the legislature modify the language of section 12022.7's intent …

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

Zarin V. Commissioner: The Continuing Validity Of Case Law Exceptions To Discharge Of Indebtedness Income, Jon D. Rigney
San Diego Law Review
This Casenote examines Zarin v. Commissioner, decided by the United States Court of Appeal for the Third Circuit in 1990.

This Casenote argues that the court's reasoning in Zarin v. Commissioner assures that its decision will have implications well beyond the facts of the case. The author also suggests that these exceptions are both reinforced and expanded by this case. He concludes that the result of this case is …
