The Renewed Concern Over Soil Erosion: The Current Federal Programs And Proposals, Linda A. Malone
The Renewed Concern Over Soil Erosion: The Current Federal Programs And Proposals, Linda A. Malone
Faculty Publications
Because soil erosion affects the quantity and quality of farmland, it is a matter of great concern for both the government and the farm industry. Whereas in the past concern was over the potential damage to productivity, concern is now being voiced over off-site damage and water pollution. There are numerous federal programs set up to fight soil erosion, but they are all voluntary, thereby making it difficult for the government to target funds. The author reviews the seriousness of the problem, looks at the numerous government programs, and then analyzes the Food Security Act of 1985—the first act to …

Commentary On 'Multiemployer Bargaining Rules': The Limitations Of A Strictly Economic Analysis, Theodore J. St. Antoine
Commentary On 'Multiemployer Bargaining Rules': The Limitations Of A Strictly Economic Analysis, Theodore J. St. Antoine
Articles
Labor law bulks large on the docket of the United States Supreme Court. Yet never would I have included Charles D. Bonanno Linen Service, Inc. v. NLRB, dealing with the seemingly mundane issue of an employer's right to withdraw from multiemployer bargaining, in the select company of cases addressing such pulse-quickening subjects as affirmative action, picketing as free speech, and union antitrust liability. Professor Douglas Leslie's elegant and provocative article shows just how wrong I was--or at least just how far imaginative analysis can go toward seeing a world in a grain of sand. I lay no claim to expertise …
Copyright Legislation And Technological Change, Jessica D. Litman
Copyright Legislation And Technological Change, Jessica D. Litman
Articles
Throughout its history, copyright law has had difficulty accommodating technological change. Although the substance of copyright legislation in this century has evolved from meetings among industry representatives whose avowed purpose was to draft legislation that provided for the future,6 the resulting statutes have done so poorly. The language of copyright statutes has been phrased in fact-specific language that has grown obsolete as new modes and mediums of copyrightable expression have developed. Whatever copyright statute has been on the books has been routinely, and justifiably, criticized as outmoded.7 In this Article, I suggest that the nature of the legislative process we …
Within The Best Interests Of The Child: The Factor Of Parental Status In Custody Disputes Arising From Surrogacy, Irma S. Russell
Within The Best Interests Of The Child: The Factor Of Parental Status In Custody Disputes Arising From Surrogacy, Irma S. Russell
Faculty Law Review Articles
This article explores the significance of parental status in the determination of custody and the question of whether the legal relationship of parent and child is also subject to public policy limitations. Part II outlines the essential elements of surrogacy. Part III examines the relationship of the best interests test and its preference for custody with a parent. Part IV discusses the surrogacy contract and the contracting parties. Part V briefly discusses the various constitutional arguments necessary to determine whether parental status is properly viewed as an issue of public policy. Part VI presents public policy considerations that states will …
Secular Cases In The Church Courts: A Historical Survey, Robert E. Rodes
Secular Cases In The Church Courts: A Historical Survey, Robert E. Rodes
Journal Articles
When students of legal history think of church courts, they may conjure up thoughts of some odd and obsolete tribunal about which Dickens wrote, while students of popular history may think of the people who burned Joan of Arc. In contrast, when Roman Catholics think of Church courts, they may think of tribunals which do no more than grant marriage annulments, while American Protestants may think of nothing at all. Church courts encompass the whole range of institutions used by different churches, including Jewish communities, for authoritative intervention into affairs of individual church members. Institutions of this kind have had …
Terrorism, Law, And Our Constitutional Order, Christopher L. Blakesley
Terrorism, Law, And Our Constitutional Order, Christopher L. Blakesley
Scholarly Works
We have all suffered moments of vicarious terror over the past few years as we watched news accounts of terrorist incidents, such as the downing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. There, some institution, government, or group used innocent children, women, and men as fodder for their “war.” Some have claimed that the pusillanimous carnage was in retaliation for the slaughter of equivalent innocents aboard the Iranian Air Bus, similarly destroyed by American forces during the summer of 1988. Others suggested that it was committed by those interested in thwarting prospects of peace in the Middle East.

Scholarly Works
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 constitutes this country’s first serious commitment to eradicating the enormous economic disadvantages caused by hundreds of years of racial and gender-related prejudice. But there is also cause for concern. While members of once excluded groups have entered the mid-level workforce, most have not progressed to top-level positions. Perhaps not surprisingly, the elimination of barriers to mid-level employment has spotlighted the unique barriers to equal employment in top-level jobs. Title VII’s capacity to deal effectively with these barriers will be its major challenge for the next quarter-century. Its success will depend, in …
Proposals To Strengthen The Inter-American System Of Protection Of Human Rights, Claudio Grossman
Proposals To Strengthen The Inter-American System Of Protection Of Human Rights, Claudio Grossman
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
Mass and gross violations of human rights have been common in the Americas. Rebellion against poverty, the inability of some political systems to allow peaceful change, and the influence of anti-democratic ideologies have resulted in widespread repression. As constitutional governments collapse and politics are militarized, adequate protection of human rights by domestic law becomes illusory. The international law of human rights, by creating norms and procedures beyond the domestic realm offers, or should offer, an additional "layer" of legal protection.International law is a weak instrument in a system in which state sovereignty remains a strong foundation. However, for those who …

A Garland Of Reflections On Three International Copyright Topics, Peter Jaszi
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
The United States is a party to many copyright treaties, including a network of bilateral arrangements with other countries and one regional agreement. I will concentrate on the two major multilateral agreements to which the United States is a party, the Universal Copyright Convention ("UCC") and the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works ("Berne Convention").
Retirement Security And Tax Policies: A Reply, Michael J. Graetz
Retirement Security And Tax Policies: A Reply, Michael J. Graetz
Faculty Scholarship
In an Article published in the April 1987 issue of the University of Pennsylvania Law Review, I urged that the three major components of this nation's retirement income system – Social Security, and income tax preferences for both employer-sponsored pension plans and individual retirement savings – be analyzed as a comprehensive national retirement income security program. I demonstrated that such an integrated view of this tripartite retirement security system reveals serious problems both with Social Security and with the generally applauded "tax expenditure" provisions for private pensions and individual savings. Viewing the three elements as a unified retirement security arrangement …

The Development Of The Nineteenth-Century Consensus Theory Of Contract, Philip A. Hamburger
The Development Of The Nineteenth-Century Consensus Theory Of Contract, Philip A. Hamburger
Faculty Scholarship
The consensus theory is well known. According to consensus theory, contract is the product of the consensus or "meeting of the minds" of contracting parties; if there is no consensus, there is no contract. Today, even after repeated challenges, consensus theory continues to be important and even essential in many approaches to contract.
The role of the parties' consensus was not always apparent in case law. Until well into the nineteenth century, the most important remedy for breach of contract in both England and America was the action for breach of promise known as "assumpsit." As a result, lawyers typically …

Aids And Divorce, Andrew Schepard
Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship
AIDS is the greatest public health challenge of the late twentieth century. It is a frightening disease, inevitably fatal to its victims. We do not know who among us carries the virus that causes AIDS; symptoms may not become visible for years after infection. Yet, we do know that the numbers of people potentially afflicted are staggering. There is no cure, no miracle vaccine, in sight.
Inevitably, some people infected with the AIDS virus, will be married, parents, and involved in disintegrating relationships with their spouses. AIDS-related problems will be a focal point of their divorces. Indeed, such cases are …
The Meaning Of Morality, George P. Fletcher
The Meaning Of Morality, George P. Fletcher
Faculty Scholarship
Many lawyers, both inside and outside the law schools, suffer from insecurity about our discipline. Instead of thinking of ourselves as the curators of a grand tradition in Western thought, many of us think of the law as a collection of doctrinal formulas and rules imposed on us by legislatures and the highest courts. We are always looking elsewhere to find a source of wisdom that will give the law coherence and meaning. At various times in this century we have looked to sociology, anthropology, psychoanalysis and, of course, economics in an effort to ground our ideas in firmer soil. …

Judges Against Juries—Appellate Review Of Federal Civil Jury Verdicts, Eric Schnapper
Articles
This Article seeks to assess the treatment of civil jury verdicts by the federal courts of appeals during the two decades in which the Supreme Court has refused to scrutinize the actions of the circuit courts. Part I summarizes the manner in which the Supreme Court, prior to 1968, aggressively enforced the seventh amendment. Part II, focusing on a one-year period between the fall of 1984 and the fall of 1985, describes the actions of the courts of appeals in resolving the 208 reported cases in which a party challenged the sufficiency of the evidence to support a jury verdict. …
Statutory Damage Caps Are An Incomplete Reform: A Proposal For Attorney Fee Shifting In Tort Actions, Gregory A. Hicks
Statutory Damage Caps Are An Incomplete Reform: A Proposal For Attorney Fee Shifting In Tort Actions, Gregory A. Hicks
Articles
The premise of this article is that the currently unsettled status of noneconomic damage awards offers an opportunity to reexamine the function of such awards, and to move tort law in the direction of more stable and rational remedies, something that could not be achieved either under recently adopted damage cap statutes or through the reinstatement of unrestricted compensation of noneconomic losses.
This article has two parts. In the first part, the ambiguous role of noneconomic damages, that is, their function as makeweight compensation for noncompensable litigation expenses and as compensation for real intangible injuries, is described. This ambiguity has …

The purpose of parole is to integrate prisoners into society by allowing them to serve a portion of their sentences outside prison. While on parole, the parolee is subject to the continuing supervision of a parole or probation officer and to the conditions and rules imposed. These conditions may significantly restrain the parolee's freedom. If a parolee violates a parole condition, the parole may be revoked and the parolee reincarcerated.

Welcome To The Funhouse: The Incredible Maze Of Modern Divorce Taxation, Beverly I. Moran
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
Using legislative histories the article shows how the incidence of taxation began to fall more heavily on women in the context of divorce as women's social and political status rose during World War II and that this trend continued through several sets of divorce tax reform.
