Federal Transfer Taxes: The Possibility Of Repeal And The Post Repeal World , Joel C. Dobris
Federal Transfer Taxes: The Possibility Of Repeal And The Post Repeal World , Joel C. Dobris
Cleveland State Law Review
I do want to focus you on what I now see as the crucial social policy behind transfer taxes in America. And, today I would say, that the death tax, if amended, can vindicate that crucial policy. Rightly or wrongly, I think we do not focus on the key purpose of death taxation in this country. I believe knowing the "secret" makes it easier to explain why the environment is so pro-repeal and it makes it easier for me to prescribe for the future. For better or worse, I believe the crucial purpose of the tax is to assert the …
Sexual Misconduct And The Government: Time To Take A Stand , Andrea B. Daloia
Sexual Misconduct And The Government: Time To Take A Stand , Andrea B. Daloia
Cleveland State Law Review
This Note analyzes law enforcement's use of one particularly troublesome tactic-the use of sexual acts or romantic promises to encourage a defendant to participate in illegal activities or to obtain information that can be used against the defendant at trial. The first part of this Note gives a brief history of the outrageous government conduct defense, including its distinction from entrapment, its origin and its lack of success in the courts. Although the entrapment defense and the outrageous conduct defense have some similarities, they are in fact quite different. The second section of this Note discusses the perception of sex …
Anything Goes: Examining The State's Interest In Protecting Children From Controversial Speech, Catherine J. Ross
Anything Goes: Examining The State's Interest In Protecting Children From Controversial Speech, Catherine J. Ross
GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works
Despite doctrinal requirements that the state establish a compelling interest to justify content-based regulations on speech, Professor Ross argues that courts have routinely taken the government's interest at face value when it argues that it inhibits speech to protect children. The Article examines the Supreme Court's test which requires the state to establish a compelling interest by articulating the precise harm it wishes to address, demonstrating a nexus between that identified harm and the regulated speech, and showing that restriction of the speech will alleviate the harm. The author seeks to reframe the discussion surrounding controversial speech and children by …
Subsidiarity And Self-Interest: Federalism At The European Court Of Justice, Edward T. Swaine
Subsidiarity And Self-Interest: Federalism At The European Court Of Justice, Edward T. Swaine
GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works
Subsidiarity is the principle which the European Community has begun applying to consider whether federal legislation is necessary, or whether action by the Member States will suffice. This article considers whether subsidiarity should constrain the Court of Justice's jurisprudence as well. It begins by analyzing the federalism problems posed by the Court's case law concerning remedies for the violation of Community law, in particular the doctrine holding Member States liable in damages for failing properly to implement Community directives. After concluding that the Court is required to review this jurisprudence for consistency with the subsidiarity principle, and that the Court's …
Review Of The Expanding Role Of State And Local Governments In U.S. Foreign Affairs, Edward T. Swaine
Review Of The Expanding Role Of State And Local Governments In U.S. Foreign Affairs, Edward T. Swaine
GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works
This Article reviews The Expanding Role of State and Local Governments in U.S. Foreign Affairs by Earl H. Fry, a book accounting how states and localities are devoting increasing resources to developing their own foreign policy. Fry description is useful and timely, but his allusions to the constitutional basis for a federal monopoly on foreign policy are too summary. As a policy matter, his suggestion for a consensus-driven solution to reconcile competing state and national interests depends on the ability of stakeholders to reach agreements in an increasingly politicized environment, and downplays the importance of foreign actors in these decisions. …
Cyberspace And The State Action Debate: The Cultural Value Of Applying Constitutional Norms To 'Private' Regulation, Paul Schiff Berman
Cyberspace And The State Action Debate: The Cultural Value Of Applying Constitutional Norms To 'Private' Regulation, Paul Schiff Berman
GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works
Regulation in cyberspace does not consist only of laws issued and enforced by sovereigns. Instead, private parties and standard-setting bodies, employing the technology of online interaction, will increasingly be able to regulate activity, which might potentially upset many of the provisional balances we as a society have struck in areas such as free speech, privacy, and intellectual property. The question then becomes: how do we evaluate this "private" regulation? Are constitutional norms applicable? Answering such questions requires a reinvestigation of legal doctrine and theory concerning the distinction between "state action" (which is generally subject to constitutional constraints) and "private ordering" …

An Observation And A Strange But True 'Tale': What Might The Historical Trials Of Animals Tell Us About The Transformative Potential Of Law In American Culture?, Paul Schiff Berman
GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works
Few would dispute that law and legal procedures lie at the core of American self-identity and are woven deeply into the fabric of our culture. Indeed, our nation's faith in law has frequently been the subject of criticism. Most recently, self-proclaimed "communitarian" commentators have warned that our insistence on legal solutions is encouraging us to become a society of litigants whose attachment to "rights talk" and legal battles is thwarting our ability to reach consensus on social issues or instill shared values in our communities. While there are many possible responses to such a critique, this Essay offers one that …
Policing Women: Moral Arguments And The Dilemmas Of Criminalization., Naomi R. Cahn
Policing Women: Moral Arguments And The Dilemmas Of Criminalization., Naomi R. Cahn
GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works
This essay concerns the peculiar dilemmas of criminalization for women. I explain the ways in which women are policed, ranging from the monitoring of motherhood to the criminalization of prostitution. This policing may be through the criminal law, civil law, or more subtly, through cultural attitudes that devalue women's work yet simultaneously encourage women to do that work. Hence, I argue that in order to sensitize, reform, and change the criminal justice system, it is critical to consider women's needs.
This essay also pays special attention to the impact of the criminal justice system on children. Specifically, I examine the …
A Grace Period And European Patent Law: It's Time For Change, Martin J. Adelman
A Grace Period And European Patent Law: It's Time For Change, Martin J. Adelman
GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works
This article begins by discussing the first-to-file and first-to-invent approaches to inventions. Next, the article describes how each of the two systems defines “prior art” and argues that employing the first-to-invent approach has two problems: a lack of incentive to file early and difficulty in advising an inventor about what qualifies as prior art. In the United States, something counts as prior art “[i]f the publication date is more than one year before the actual filing date.” The article concludes that Europe would benefit from adding a grace period because it would make the system fairer and create more similarity …

Davis V. Monroe County Board Of Education: The Unresolved Questions,, Joan E. Schaffner
GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works
This article focuses on the recent trend of permitting liability of schools when students are sexually harassed, which the Supreme Court has only recognized for twenty years. I examine the majority and dissenting opinions of the Court’s most recent decision about this topic, Davis v. Monroe County Board of Education and analyze three questions brought to light by Davis and Gebser v. Lago Vista Independent School District. These questions are: (1) what qualifies as “actionable” sexual harassment, (2) who must receive notice, and (3) what satisfies the “deliberate indifference” standard from Davis. The answers to these questions are just …
Facilitating Scientific Research: Intellectual Property Rights And The Norms Of Science - A Response To Rai And Eisenberg, F. Scott Kieff
Facilitating Scientific Research: Intellectual Property Rights And The Norms Of Science - A Response To Rai And Eisenberg, F. Scott Kieff
GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works
Arti Rai's article in the Fall 1999 issue of the Northwestern University Law Review explores the proper use of both legal rules and prescriptive norms to shape behavior in the basic biological research community. Rai's article builds upon the extensive work in this area by Rebecca Eisenberg, which first attained prominence through Eisenberg's article in the December 1987 issue of the Yale Law Journal. Eisenberg concludes that the use of patents in the area of basic biological research may frustrate central norms of the community. Rai prescribes concerted public and private action as the best tools for avoiding patents and …
En Banc Revisited, Michael B. Abramowicz
En Banc Revisited, Michael B. Abramowicz
GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works
Legal commentators have proposed a variety of solutions to the perceived problems of the U.S. courts of appeals, from splitting large circuits to assuring partisan balance in panel decisions. They have always assumed, however, that judges a particular appellate court should have sole responsibility for creating the law of that circuit, except when caseload pressures make it necessary to borrow visiting judges. In this Essay, Professor Abramowicz proposes using visiting judges in a more important role: en banc decision-making. Under this proposal, en banc decisions for one circuit would be made entirely by courts of appeals judges randomly selected from …

Revision And Recodification Of The Texas Rules Of Civil Procedure Concerning The Jury Charge, William V. Dorsaneo Iii
Revision And Recodification Of The Texas Rules Of Civil Procedure Concerning The Jury Charge, William V. Dorsaneo Iii
Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters
The primary purpose of this article is to discuss and explain why the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure concerning the trial court's charge to the jury should be replaced by a new set of procedural rules initially developed by a Jury Charge Task Force appointed by the Texas Supreme Court in 1991. As seminared, amended, and recommended for adoption to the Texas Supreme Court by the Supreme Court Advisory Committee in 1996, these proposed rules, or comparable ones,should be promulgated by the Texas Supreme Court. Revision of the jury charge rules is desirable because the procedures for preserving complaints about …

A Comprehensive Wealth Tax, David Shakow, Reed Shuldiner
A Comprehensive Wealth Tax, David Shakow, Reed Shuldiner
All Faculty Scholarship
Income, consumption, and wealth are all possible bases for a tax system in the United States. Scholars have specified the structure of income tax and consumption taxes, but no one has attempted to describe in detail a comprehensive wealth tax for the United States. In this paper, we begin to develop such a structure. In particular, we hypothesize that the combination of a flat rate tax on networth and a flat rate tax on earned income along with an appropriate level of exemptions, could be an attractive tax base. In order to explore the structure of a wealth tax, we …
