Missouri Law Review
A recent agreement between the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Pork Producers Council puts into place a voluntary inspection program that may lead to reduced fines for pork producers who report and correct Clean Water Act violations This agreement represents the first of its kind between an agriculture group and the Environmental Protection Agency.2 This Article explores the background that led to the agreement.

Common Law Misappropriation In The Digital Era, Dale P. Olson
Common Law Misappropriation In The Digital Era, Dale P. Olson
Missouri Law Review
Information is often valuable and when publicly disclosed may be difficult to protect or control.' Such information, whether in the form of data or a product configuration, unless it can be exploited while keeping it secret,2 is accordingly susceptible to copying by competitors absent legal protection. The law, however, has not provided a framework that supplements the armamentarium of federal intellectual property law3 because the protection authorized by federal constitutional limits also thrust works into the public domain. The evolving technological developments which permit the effectively instantaneous transmission of information, as well as the inexpensive copying of trade values in …
Successive Torts Resulting In A Single, Indivisible Injury: Plaintiffs, Prepare To Prove The Impossible, Michael J. Kleffner
Successive Torts Resulting In A Single, Indivisible Injury: Plaintiffs, Prepare To Prove The Impossible, Michael J. Kleffner
Missouri Law Review
In most lawsuits, plaintiffs' medical experts can accurately allocate plaintiffs' injuries to a specific, causal factor. In some instances, however, two events may combine to cause an injury that is incapable of rational apportionment, even by the most learned medical expert. In such a case, the indivisible injury doctrine may relieve a plaintiff of the difficult burden of proving which tortfeasor caused her injuries. The indivisible injury doctrine, however, does not benefit all plaintiffs who have suffered an injury that cannot be apportioned. As illustrated by the instant case, certain plaintiffs must prove the impossible, namely, which tortfeasor caused their …

Changing Interpretations Of The Establishment Clause: Financial Support Of Religious Schools, Bryan D. Lemoine
Missouri Law Review
In Wolman v. Walter, Justice Stevens voiced concem that the "'high and impregnable' wall between church and state, has been reduced to a 'blurred, indistinct, and variable barrier.' 2 The court had sacrificed predictability for flexibility? While this may be true in some areas of Establishment Clause jurisprudence, it is no longer true in cases involving benefits to religious organizations. If the programs equally benefit both secular and "similarly situated" religious organizations, there is no violation of the Establishment Clause.4 Jackson v. Benson is an expression of this view. The Wisconsin Supreme Court, in upholding a program designed to provide …
Business Records Exception To The Hearsay Rule--New Is Not Necessarily Better, The, Sidney Kwestel
Business Records Exception To The Hearsay Rule--New Is Not Necessarily Better, The, Sidney Kwestel
Missouri Law Review
Among the most significant exceptions to the hearsay rule is the business records exception.' With roots in the common law,2 it is based on the premise that records made in the regular course of business are sufficiently reliable to justify admitting them as proof of the matters asserted in them without the safeguard of cross examination.3 Widespread acceptance of a codified business records exception followed a 1927 study4 that proposed such a statute (the Model Act)' and urged its passage by everyjurisdiction.6 Congress,7 as well as several

Making Disclosure: Ideas And Interests In Canadian Securities Regulation, Christopher C. Nicholis
Making Disclosure: Ideas And Interests In Canadian Securities Regulation, Christopher C. Nicholis
Dalhousie Law Journal
Early in her book, Professor Condon bemoans the general lack of Canadian scholarship in the area of securities regulation. Not only is there very little theoretical work in this field, she notes, but also, "even historically descriptive accounts of the Ontario Securities Commission have been notable by their infrequency" (at 15).'
Annotated Language Laws Of Canada: Constitutional, Federal, Provincial And Territorial Laws, Teresa Scassa
Annotated Language Laws Of Canada: Constitutional, Federal, Provincial And Territorial Laws, Teresa Scassa
Dalhousie Law Journal
Many of Canada's language laws represent an attempt by governments to articulate national or provincial linguistic identities. How fitting, therefore, that Annotated Language Laws of Canada is a work which is itself in search of an identity. There is, in fact, some dissonance between what this book claims to be and what it actually is. Although its cover suggests that it is part of a series of "New Canadian Perspectives," there is little that is new (in the sense of original) in the work, other than the actual compilation. As for perspectives-one of the most striking absences in this work …

Too Much And Too Little: A Bankruptcy Balancing Act, Michael C. Stoffregen
Too Much And Too Little: A Bankruptcy Balancing Act, Michael C. Stoffregen
Missouri Law Review
This is a case of too much and too little. It represents one court's attempt to deal with problems created by too much Congressional guidance in one area of the Bankruptcy Code and too little guidance in another. In 1994, Congress revised 11 U.S.C. § 106, adding a provision declaring that when a state files a claim in a bankruptcy proceeding, it has waived its sovereign immunity as to that claim.2 Two years later, the United States Supreme Court,.in Seminole Tribe v. Florida,3 limited Congress's power to expand Article I judicial powers to the Eleventh Amendment . The In re …

The Lautenberg Amendment: Congress Hit The Mark By Banning Firearms From Domestic Violence Offenders Comment., Polly Mccann Pruneda
The Lautenberg Amendment: Congress Hit The Mark By Banning Firearms From Domestic Violence Offenders Comment., Polly Mccann Pruneda
St. Mary's Law Journal
Immediate action is critical to preserve the goals of the Lautenberg Amendment to protect victims of domestic violence from future abuse and their abusers. Incidents of gun-related domestic violence are not uncommon in the United States. Statistics show that domestic violence takes one life every three days and the combination of guns and domestic violence cause more deaths than incidents which are not associated with guns. In 1996, Congress attempted to find a solution to this problem. The Lautenberg Amendment, enacted pursuant to Congress’ Commerce Clause power, seeks to protect individuals from gun related injury or death occurring within domestic …
