RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

Dr. Trauth presents a content analysis of 40 years of coverage of a major local source of air pollution by a Pittsburgh newspaper.

Acceptable Risk: A Conceptual Proposal, Baruch Fischhoff

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

Challenging the "de minimis risk" concept, Dr. Fischhoff argues that risks ought not to be considered apart from a particular technology's benefits. He argues, too, that the acceptability of particular kinds of risks should not be determined without considering the views of all persons who may be exposed. Finally, building upon the "reasonable person" construct, he suggests ways those goals might be achieved.

The Community Reinvestment Act: A Preliminary Empirical Analysis, Leonard Bierman, Donald R. Fraser, Asghar Zardkoohi

UC Law Journal

The purpose of the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) is to encourage financial institutions "to help meet the credit needs of the local communities in which they are chartered consistent with the safe and sound operation of such institutions." Recent scholarly criticism of the CRA has argued that the standards it imposes are extremely vague and subjective, frequently force banks to make bad loans, and penalize banks that have conservative lending policies or hold assets in the form of marketable securities.

In their Article, Professors Bierman, Fraser, and Zardkoohi have undertaken a preliminary empirical analysis of the CRA. They have collected …

The State Interest In The Good Citizen: Constitutional Balance Between The Citizen And The Perfectionist State, Steve Sheppard

UC Law Journal

While many commentators have disputed the merits of the balancing approach to constitutional interpretation, as opposed to the more formalistic categorical approach, Professor Sheppard argues in this Article that the two approaches are not mutually exclusive. Rather, he argues that both approaches involve a reduction of the arguments of each party to a description of an interest. As a result, the Court's adjudication of arguments between individuals and government turns not so much upon the method of comparison as upon the means by which those arguments are reduced to interests.

With this in mind, Professor Sheppard examines the method by …

That's Funny, You Don't Look Like You Control The Government: The Sixth Circuit's Narrative On Jewish Power, Steven Lubet

UC Law Journal

For centuries, anti-semitic belief has centered around the myth that Jews surreptitiously control government and finance. This ancient misconception has not completely faded and often surfaces in contemporary society. Most recently, Khalid Abdul Mohammad, a former spokesperson for the Nation of Islam, angered Jews and many others with his strident rhetoric that warned of secret Jewish control over the United States government. However, the influence of the ancient myth of Jewish control may often be expressed more subtly.

In his Essay, Professor Lubet argues that the subtle influences of ingrained anti-semitic belief were revealed in the Sixth Circuit's decision in …

Coming Into Being: Law, Ethics, And The Practice Of Prenatal Genetic Screening, Michael J. Malinowski

UC Law Journal

The scientific community stands on the brink of knowing and potentially controlling our genetic makeup. The ability to isolate the genes responsible for a variety of diseases and character traits is expanding exponentially. Prospective parents are being given access to this technology through the willingness of research laboratories to perform prenatal genetic testing. The practice of prenatal genetic screening has already become widespread and promises to increase dramatically as the reliability of genetic testing improves. A society in which prospective parents have the ability to control the genetic makeup of their children is becoming a reality.

This expansion in scientific …

Mandatory Hiv Testing And Prostitution: The World's Oldest Profession And The World's Newest Deadly Disease, James Grant Snell

UC Law Journal

In the face of the AIDS crisis, state legislatures are taking steps to curtail the spread of the disease. One strategy is legislation requiring mandatory HIV testing of both convicted and arrested prostitutes. This Note explores the Fourth Amendment issues involved in mandatory testing.

This Note traces the development of the Fourth Amendment "special needs" doctrine, under which mandatory testing of convicted prostitutes has been upheld. The Note applies the Fourth Amendment analysis to mandatory testing in the case of arrested prostitutes and concludes that it is unconstitutional. The Note suggests that in order to constitutionally test prostitutes for HIV …

Tragedy, Irony, And Protectionism After Bcci: A Three-Act Play Starring Maharajah Bank, Raj Bhala

Faculty Publications

Post-BCCI legal developments regarding the regulation of foreign banks raise serious concerns of protectionism. The Foreign Bank Supervision Enhancement Act of 1991 and revisions to Federal Reserve Regulation K impose significant new legal burdens on foreign banks seeking to establish a physical presence in the U.S. The new legal regime reflects a tragic sacrifice of the principle of free trade in banking services in order to placate a fear of "bad" foreign banks. Ironically, the sacrifice of this principle by Congress and the Federal Reserve is incongruous with efforts of the United States Trade Representative (USTR). The USTR has negotiated …

Exploding Myths: An Empirical And Economic Reassessment Of The Rise Of Employment At-Will, Andrew P. Morriss

Faculty Scholarship

Like many other types of contracts, employment contracts are frequently incomplete, with important terms missing or unclear. Courts have created a variety of rules to assist in filling these gaps. One of these rules, the employment at-will rule, specifies a default rule which governs in cases where the parties to an employment contract fail to explicitly state the contract's duration. The at-will rule is straightforward, providing that where the term of the contract is indefinite, both the employer and employee are free to terminate the contract without liability at any time. An employee with an at-will contract who is fired …
