How Money For Legal Scholarship Disadvantages Feminism, Martha T. Mccluskey
How Money For Legal Scholarship Disadvantages Feminism, Martha T. Mccluskey
Journal Articles
A dramatic infusion of outside money has shaped legal theory over the last several decades, largely to the detriment of feminist theory. Nonetheless, the pervasive influence of this funding is largely ignored in scholarly discussions of legal theory. This denial helps reinforce the marginal position of feminist scholarship and of women in legal theory. Conservative activists and funders have understood the central role of developing community culture and institutions, and have helped shift the prevailing framework for discussion of many questions of theory and policy through substantial investments in law-and-economics centers and in the Federalist Society. Comparing the institutional resources …

Reason, The Common Law, And The Living Constitution (Review Of The Living Constitution By David Strauss), Matthew J. Steilen
Reason, The Common Law, And The Living Constitution (Review Of The Living Constitution By David Strauss), Matthew J. Steilen
Book Reviews
This article reviews David Strauss’s recent book, The Living Constitution. The thesis of Strauss’s book is that constitutional law is a kind of common law, based largely on judicial precedent and common-sense judgments about what works and what is fair. Strauss argues constitutional doctrines prohibiting discrimination and protecting free speech have a common law basis, and that the originalist would have to reject them. However, it is unclear that the common law can justify these rights. This review examines Strauss’s account of the common law and shows why it cannot justify our First Amendment protections of subversive advocacy, as Strauss …

Looking At Zoos, Irus Braverman
Journal Articles
Looking at zoos from the perspective of zoo personnel, this article explores the importance of vision in the zoo’s presentation of its animals as well as the major technologies that the zoo uses to intensify such animal visions. On the one end of the spectrum, zoogeography and immersion design are used at the zoo exhibit to enable zoogoers to see animals in their naturalistic settings. On the opposite end of the spectrum, animals are caged and cared for in the highly artificial settings of the zoo’s holding area, with little or no exposure to the public gaze. In between these …
Regulations Of Hydraulic Fracturing Under The Safe Drinking Water Act, Keith B. Hall
Regulations Of Hydraulic Fracturing Under The Safe Drinking Water Act, Keith B. Hall
Buffalo Environmental Law Journal
For more than 20 years after the 1974 enactment of the Safe Drinking Water Act ("SD WA ), the US. Environmental Protection Agency interpreted the SDWA as not applying to hydraulic fracturing. The United States Eleventh Circuit ruled in 1997 that the SDWTA applied to fracturing, but the EPA chose not to consent to that interpretation outside the Eleventh Circuit. Further the EPA continued to take the position that its existing SDWTA regulations did not apply to hydraulic fracturing, and it never promulgated new regulations to cover fracturing. In 2005, the Congress passed legislation that generally is read as applying …
Developing The Marcellus Shale: Legal, Regulatory, And Infrastructure Challenges And Their Effect On Downstream Energy Markets, Aaron Stemplewicz
Developing The Marcellus Shale: Legal, Regulatory, And Infrastructure Challenges And Their Effect On Downstream Energy Markets, Aaron Stemplewicz
Buffalo Environmental Law Journal
The Marcellus Shale natural gas play is largely considered a "game changer" for the US. energy sector as recent technological breakthroughs in drilling techniques and technologies have made natural gas extraction from this massive play commercially viable. This note not only examines the primary driving forces behind the development of this pla, but also how the extent and pace iwith ihich it is developed will affect doinstream energy markets. In particular three categories of factors are evaluated: legal challenges, regulatory controls, and infrastructure development. Tiwo models of growth and their effect on downstream markets are then proposed and analyzed.

Between Huntley And Salem: The Current State Of Municipal Authority In Pennsylvania To Affect Gas Drilling Through Zoning, Dan Raichel
Buffalo Environmental Law Journal
This article examines the scope of Pennsylvania is preemption of municipal authority to zone natural gas drilling activities in light of two relatively recent Pennsylvania Supreme Court decisions interpreting the Pennsylvania Oil and Gas Act and its local ordinance preemption provision. Although these cases define outer boundaries of permissible municipal regulation along the spectrum uf/possible zoning controls - i.e. what types ofordinance provisions would be either definitively permitted or preempted - substantial questions remain as to what extent a municipality may use traditional zoning power to zone gas drilling activities. This paper explores those grey areas, and attempts to assess …

The Interpretation Of Surface Easements In Severance Deeds As A Limit On Hydraulic Fracturing Practices, Rachel Heron, Justin S. Duclos, Shaun A. Goho
Buffalo Environmental Law Journal
Hydraulic fracturing has driven a boom in natural gas production in the Marcellus Shale. While providing a growing source of domestic energy, this boom also raises signicant environmental concerns. Many of the impacts of hy draulic fracturing predominantly affect the inhabitants of the property where the drilling occurs. Yet when those inhabitants own only the surface estate, they have relatively little influence over whether and how the drilling occurs and will not profit from the gas extraction. This article provides a jurisdictional case stud4 set in West Virginia to assist in understanding the nuances relevant to an interpretation of the …
Reconsidering The Use Of Forced Pooling For Shale Gas Development, Lindsey Trachtenberg
Reconsidering The Use Of Forced Pooling For Shale Gas Development, Lindsey Trachtenberg
Buffalo Environmental Law Journal
Hydrocarbons can be produced more efficiently ihen neighboring landowners work in cooperation, rather than in competition. Yet market failures often make it difficult for landovners and the well operators iwith whi om they contract to reach agreements for the cooperative development of hy drocarbon reservoirs. Therefore, some states have enacted forced pooling provisions, vhich allow states to compel cooperative development under certain criteria. While forced pooling is generally acceptable for traditional oil and gas resources, state legislatures and regulators should reassess their forced pooling provisions as they are applied to shale gas resources. Based on the unique characteristics of shale …

The Rise Of Hydraulic Fracturing: A Behavioral Analysis Of Landowner Decision-Making, Jared B. Fish
Buffalo Environmental Law Journal
High volume "slickivater" horizontal hydraulic fracturing ("hydrofracking" or 'fracking") is an innovative technology nov widely used to extract natural gas from shale rock. Proponents hail fracking as a way to promote energy independence, bring jobs to economically distressed communities, and mitigate climate change by switching from oil and coal to natural gas. Yet the process has come under increased public scrutiny in recent years as thousands qf reports surfaced linking hydrofracking to groundwater contamination, air pollution, and various maladies. Despite an explosion qf media reports on the potential risks associated with fracking, landowners continue to lease their mineral rights to …

Property, Liberty, And The Rights Of The Community: Lessons From Munn V. Illinois, Paul Kens
Buffalo Public Interest Law Journal
When considering the extent to which the United States Constitution places a limit on government regulation of business, today's historians and constitutional theorists treat the question as a matter of balancing economic liberty or property rights against government power. Moreover, modem scholars commonly maintain that this balancing formula represents the predominant tradition in constitutional history. Tracing it back to the tenants of Jacksonian democracy that emphasized distrust of government, they imply that constitutional history has developed as a straight line: always with an emphasis on individual liberty and always with a presumption that entrepreneurial liberty should be favored over governments' …

Actionable Acts: "Severe" Conduct In Hostile Work Environment Sexual Harassment Cases, James Concannon
Actionable Acts: "Severe" Conduct In Hostile Work Environment Sexual Harassment Cases, James Concannon
Buffalo Journal of Gender, Law & Social Policy
This paper examines the significant weight that courts accord proof of especially "severe" conduct in hostile work environment sexual harassment cases. Such conduct is often found by courts to satisfy the "severe or pervasive" test established by the Supreme Court in Harris v. Forklift Systems, Inc., even if the plaintiff does not present proof that the harassing conduct occurred with great frequency.' Part I provides an introduction to the Supreme Court's hostile work environment jurisprudence and the origins of the severe or pervasive test. Part II begins the exploration into the disjunctive nature of the severe or pervasive test. …
