Australia And The Convention For The Regulation Of Antarctic Mineral Resource Activities (Cramra), Sam Blay, Ben M. Tsamenyi

Professor Ben M Tsamenyi

Australia, a leading Antarctic state that played a key role in negotiating the Convention for the Regulation of Antarctic Mineral Resource Activities, in May 1989 announced its opposition to the Convention and adoption instead of a World Park or Wilderness Reserve concept for Antarctica. This article examines possible environmental and economic reasons for Australia's attitude, which is likely to have significant implications for the future of the Convention and for the Antarctic Treaty System as a whole. -Authors

Preserving A Balanced Ocean: Regulating Climate Change Mitigation Activities In Marine Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction, Robin M. Warner

Robin Warner

The damaging effects of anthropogenically induced climate change on both the terrestrial and marine environments have been acknowledged by a succession of expert reports commissioned by global and national bodies. This recognition has spawned heightened levels of activity by scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change. Multiple schemes have been suggested to ameliorate the adverse effects of climate change on the environment caused by the burning of fossil fuels and other greenhouse gas emissions including enhanced schemes to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The ability of the ocean to absorb rising levels of carbon …

Climate Change Mitigation Activities In The Ocean: Turning Up The Regulatory Heat, Rosemary Rayfuse, Robin Warner

Faculty of Law - Papers (Archive)

The adverse impacts of anthropogenically induced climate change on the terrestrial and marine environments have been acknowledged by a succession of expert reports commissioned by global and national bodies (IPCC 2007; Preston and Jones 2006; Stern et al. 2006). The threats posed by climate change to the global environment have fostered heightened scientific and commercial interest in a range of CO2 sequestration methods that either involve the ocean or affect the marine environment. The most developed proposals to date relate to offshore carbon capture and storage (OCCS), which seeks to capture carbon dioxide from point sources of emissions and sequester …

Deepening The Discourse Using The Legal Mind’S Eye: Lessons From Neuroscience And Psychology That Optimize Law School Learning, Hillary Burgess

Hillary Burgess

Research demonstrates that incorporating visual aids and exercises into learning environments improves learning with higher-order cognitive skills such as “thinking like a lawyer.” This article argues that because law school learning focuses on the highest order cognitive skills, professors optimize the learning environment by including visual aids and visual exercises.

This article begins by defining what higher order cognitive skills are by mapping common law school learning tasks onto a leading taxonomy of learning objectives. This article argues that the legal curriculum engages all six levels of learning by traditionally teaching the lowest four levels of learning and by traditionally …

Negligence And Insufficient Activity: The Missing Paradigm In Torts, David Gilo, Ehud Guttel

Michigan Law Review

Conventional wisdom in tort law maintains that the prevention of undesirable risks mandates restriction of harmful conduct. Against this widely held conviction, this Article shows that undesirable risks often stem from insufficient, rather than excessive, activity. Because negligence requires investments in only cost-justified care, parties might deliberately limit their activity so that the size of the ensuing risk would be lower than the cost of welfare-enhancing precautions. Parties' incentives to strategically restrict their activity levels have striking implications for the inducement of efficient harm prevention. The overlooked paradigm of insufficient activity calls for the imposition of a new form of …

Boundaries, Biodiversity, Resources, And Increasing Maritime Activities: Emerging Oceans Governance Challenges For Canada In The Arctic Ocean, Clive H. Schofield, Ian Townsend-Gault, Tavis Potts

Faculty of Law - Papers (Archive)

The Arctic region is undergoing rapid environmental and socioeconomic change. As one of the most rapidly warming places on the planet, the Arctic is experiencing dramatic climate change-related impacts, such as a severe downward trend in sea ice cover. The scientific community projects that this trend could result in a sea ice-free summer by as early as 2020. As conditions warm, the retreat of sea ice is driving an expansion of political and economic activity. Recent world media attention has been focused on the Arctic to an unprecedented extent. Much of the discourse has been devoted to a perceived Arctic …

The Regime Of The Exclusive Economic Zone: Military Activities And The Need For Compromise?, Sam Bateman

Faculty of Law - Papers (Archive)

Military activities in the an exclusive economic zone (EEZ) were a controversial issue at the Third UN Conference on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS III) and remain so in State practice. Some coastal States claim that other States cannot carry out military activities, including naval exercises and military surveying, in their EEZ without their consent, and have sought to apply restrictions on navigation and overflight in this zone. This “thickening” of jurisdiction over activities in the EEZ is strongly opposed by other States, particularly the major maritime powers. This contribution addresses some of the practical considerations associated with this …

Intellectual Property In The Era Of The Creative Computer Program, Ralph D. Clifford

Faculty Publications

Computer scientists, using artificial intelligence techniques such as neural networks, are enabling computers to independently create works that appear to qualify for federal intellectual property protection. In at least one case, the creator of this kind of program has registered its output, a series of musical compositions, under his name as author with United States Copyright Office. Whether the output of the computer satisfies the statutory and constitutional requisites for protection is questionable, however. The author of this Article argues that the output of an autonomously creative computer program cannot be protected under the current copyright and patent laws. Further, …
