Terrorism As An International Crime: Questions Of Responsibility And Complicity, Sompong Sucharitkul
Terrorism As An International Crime: Questions Of Responsibility And Complicity, Sompong Sucharitkul
Publications
Terrorism is a phenomenon in the contemporary world which occupies the attention of the international community. Terrorism as an international crime is readily more comprehensible and susceptible of clearer definition than sheer acts of terrorism by whomsoever performed. This paper is confined to questions of responsibility and complicity in connection with terrorism as an international crime, whatever the definition is ultimately adopted of "terrorism," and whatever the meaning to be ascribed to an "international crime."

Michigan V. Chesternut And Investigative Pursuits: Is There No End To The War Between The Constitution And Common Sense?, Rachel A. Van Cleave
Publications
Section I of this Comment examines Terry v. Ohio, in which the Supreme Court decided that certain on-the-street encounters between police officers and citizens come within fourth amendment scrutiny. Section II traces the development of standards for determining when a seizure has occurred, that is, when a reasonable person would believe he was not "at liberty to ignore the police presence and go about his business."' In section III, this Comment argues that, when the police chase a citizen, their conduct constitutes a seizure because the citizen is aware of the police's attempt to apprehend him and is therefore …

Review Of Judging Credentials: Nonlawyer Judges And The Politics Of Professionalism By Doris Marie Provine, William T. Gallagher
Review Of Judging Credentials: Nonlawyer Judges And The Politics Of Professionalism By Doris Marie Provine, William T. Gallagher
Publications
Doris Marie Provine's Judging Credentials is a provocative work that draws on and furthers the critical approach to the study of professions. The book is a study of judges in lower courts of limited jurisdiction who are not lawyers, a group of considerable size. There are over 13,000 of them in the United States. In this work Provine examines the legal profession's assertion that these judges are inferior to judges who are lawyers. Contrary to both professional claims and popular belief, Provine argues that lay judges in America's lower courts perform as well as their lawyer counterparts. Her conclusions derive …
The Uncertain Status Of Post-Employment Non-Compete Covenants In Texas, Jon H. Sylvester
The Uncertain Status Of Post-Employment Non-Compete Covenants In Texas, Jon H. Sylvester
Publications
A post-employment non-compete covenant is an agreement by an employee that, after termination of employment he or she will not compete with his or her former employer-usually within a specified geographic area and for a specified period of time. Such covenants are standard parts of many employment contracts.
Under the long standing common law of contracts, non-compete covenants are generally suspect as restraints of trade. Post-employment non-compete covenants also bear a strong presumption of unfairness because of the superior bargaining power almost invariably wielded by the employer. Nevertheless most jurisdictions, including Texas, have traditionally enforced post-employment non-compete covenants within the …
Who Regulates The Disposal Of Low-Level Radioactive Waste Under The Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Act?, Deborah M. Mostaghel
Who Regulates The Disposal Of Low-Level Radioactive Waste Under The Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Act?, Deborah M. Mostaghel
Publications
This Comment will discuss the question of who regulates low-level radioactive waste disposal facilities by examining the following: the constitutional doctrines safeguarding federal government authority; areas of state authority; grants of specific authority delegations under the AEA and subsequent acts dealing with nuclear energy, especially the LLRWPA and its amendment; and finally, potential problems that may arise depending on whether ultimate regulatory authority is deemed to rest with single states, regional compacts, or the federal government.

Safeguarding Employment For U.S. Workers: Do Undocumenteds Take Away Jobs?, Stephen A. Rosenbaum
Publications
For more than five years, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (hereinafter, INS) has been stymied in its efforts to implement a rule prohibiting aliens from working while out on bond pending deportation or exclusion. Like defendants awaiting trial in the criminal justice system, aliens charged with violating U.S. immigration laws are typically allowed to post bond pending a hearing on the merits. The U.S. Attorney General has the authority to prescribe conditions governing an alien's release under bond, a period that could take a year or more. From 1973 to 1983, INS regulations authorized District Directors, with approval from the …

Economic Union As A Constitutional Value, Richard B. Collins
Economic Union As A Constitutional Value, Richard B. Collins
Publications
Professor Collins presents an in-depth defense of the dormant commerce power doctrine. He maintains that the text of the commerce clause, the original intent behind it, and a century of congressional acquiescence to broad judicial enforcement of the dormant commerce power lend sufficient legitimacy to the doctrine to support its continued existence. After examining the textual and historical bases for the doctrine, Professor Collins concludes that the primary purpose behind the commerce clause is the promotion of economic integration and interstate harmony. Based upon his discussion of the doctrine's origins and development, he contends that critics of the doctrine who …
