Faculty Scholarship
The purpose of this project is to evaluate and compare the values used by medical and law students when dealing with ethical dilemmas in the professional practice of law and medicine.

Intercollegiate Athletics And The Assignment Of Legal Rights, Alfred Dennis Mathewson
Faculty Scholarship
This Article arose out of my curiosity about the precise assignment of legal rights6 among colleges and students in the production, sale, and delivery of intercollegiate athletics. What rights might student athletes possess that give rise to legal accountability? Although a system that permits universities, coaches, concessionaires, television networks, and advertisers to reap the wealth sown by student athletes while precluding the latter from contemporaneous enjoyment of pecuniary profit seems patently unfair, my review of the cases uncovered a legal order that does not assign legal rights to student athletes consistent with my view.

Despite this divestiture, shareholders voluntarily step into these associations in the hope of obtaining a share in the enterprise's profits.

A Critical Assessment Of Reid's Work For Hire Framework And Its Potential Impact On The Marketplace For Scholarly Works, Sherri L. Burr
Faculty Scholarship
This article focuses on the marketplace for copyrighted works produced by academics. Academics are hired by universities with the understanding that in addition to teaching, they will conduct research, analyze their research, and publish the results of their analysis. The custom has been at many universities that academics retain the copyright in their scholarly publications and in their lectures when they are reduced to tangible form. This article examines Community for Creative Non-Violence v. James Earl Reid's construction of the "work made for hire" definition in the 1976 Copyright Act and assesses its potential impact on academics. Part I provides …
