Washington's Public Law 280, Jurisdiction On Indian Reservations, Allan Baris

Washington Law Review

In April 1977 a Ninth Circuit panel in Yakima I 5 ruled that R.C.W. ch. 37.12 violates the equal protection clause of the fourteenth amendment. The Supreme Court, in accepting review, has instructed the parties to prepare briefs on both the equal protection challenge and the issue of Washington's compliance with PL-280.17 Several Washington tribes have contended that R.C.W. ch. 37.12 fails to comply with PL-280 because (1) Washington failed to amend its constitution in order to remove a disclaimer of jurisdiction on Indian lands 18 and (2) PL-280 does not permit the assumption of partial jurisdiction by a state. …

Fisheries Jurisdiction And The Atlantic Salmon: Fact And Law From A Canadian Point Of View, H. Scott Fairley

Dalhousie Law Journal

Fisheries conservation has become an important if also recent concern of maritime nations with significant economic sectors heavily dependent on ocean harvests. Canada is one of these and the Atlantic salmon is certainly conspicuous among a growing number of endangered fisheries. Grossly depleted salmon runs in the Maritime Provinces once supported a burgeoning estuarial and riparine commercial fishery as well as an immensely profitable tourist industry based on sport fishing. In the past the salmon have suffered from domestic problems, chiefly pollution, for which internal remedies in the form of river clean-ups, pollution abatement and artificial inducements such as fish …

Nlrb Jurisdiction Over Foreign Governments, Dan T. Carter

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

In State Bank of India the National Labor Relations Board reversed its discretionary abstention policy and asserted jurisdiction over the American operations of a foreign government employer. Previously the Board had declined to assert jurisdiction over these employers out of deference to foreign sovereigns, and because of the Supreme Court's admonition against extraterritorial application of the National Labor Relations Act in the absence of "an affirmative intention of the Congress clearly expressed." The Board now believes that neither public policy nor the policies of the NLRA can justify abstention. Although the Board has deemed the recently enacted Foreign Sovereign Immunities …
