Huntington, New York's Sex Offender Policy And The Intrastate Right To Travel, James Tierney

The three cases concerned patients injured by drugs, smokers misled by false advertising, and borrowers victimized by predatory lending practices. These cases represent the latest battle in the ongoing war between consumer advocates and business entities over whether federal laws should be interpreted to erect barriers against state consumer protection laws.

Wyeth v. Levine raised the issue of whether approval of a drug by the F.D.A. preempts a state tort claim based on failure to warn. Altria …

Against Mushy Balancing Tests In Blight Condemnation Jurisprudence, Roderick M. Hills Jan 2012

Against Mushy Balancing Tests In Blight Condemnation Jurisprudence, Roderick M. Hills
