Krieg V. Seybold: The Seventh Circuit Adopts A Bright Line In Favor Of Random Drug Testing, Dana E. Lobelle
Krieg V. Seybold: The Seventh Circuit Adopts A Bright Line In Favor Of Random Drug Testing, Dana E. Lobelle
Seventh Circuit Review
In Krieg v. Seybold, Robert Krieg challenged the City of Marion, Indiana’s, policy of random drug testing as it applied to his job as a heavy-equipment operator in the Department of Streets and Sanitation. While the Fourth Amendment normally would require the City to have a reasonable suspicion that Krieg used drugs before it could require him to submit to a drug test, the Supreme Court has created a “safety” exception to this rule. This exception permits government employers to test certain safety-sensitive employees for drugs without suspicion where a characteristic of the workplace makes suspicion-based testing impractical. The …

Probationers, Parolees And Dna Collection: Is This "Justice For All"?, Jessica K. Fender
Seventh Circuit Review
In 1994, the DNA Identification Act permitted the government to establish a national database (CODIS) where it could collect DNA samples from those convicted of certain violent crimes. In the last few years, DNA collection statutes have been repeatedly expanded, to the point where some now require samples upon arrest. Not surprisingly, the federal DNA collection statute has been challenged repeatedly on Fourth Amendment grounds. In the Seventh Circuit, this issue was most recently addressed in United States v. Hook, a case in which a white-collar criminal on supervised release challenged the federal DNA collection statute. The court held …

Ij Bias: The Contamination Theory, Michael Yeong Joon Ko
Seventh Circuit Review
In the case of Apouviepseakoda v. Gonzales, the majority and the dissent of the Seventh Circuit heavily criticized the immigration judge’s behavior during the removal hearing. Yet, the majority seemed to go out of its way to affirm denial of asylum. The majority held that, although the IJ’s behavior during the asylum hearing was inappropriate, it did not amount to reversible error. The majority would reverse only if the IJ’s behavior were so inappropriate that it frazzled the asylum applicant or barred large portions of the applicant’s testimony. What this decision does not account for is the fact that …
The Seventh Circuit’S Approach To Deterring The Trademark Troll: Say Goodbye To Your Registration And Pay The Costs Of Litigation, Anna B. Folgers
The Seventh Circuit’S Approach To Deterring The Trademark Troll: Say Goodbye To Your Registration And Pay The Costs Of Litigation, Anna B. Folgers
Seventh Circuit Review
It is axiomatic that trademark rights are acquired through commercial use and not registration. This requirement, however, has failed to deter the trademark troll, who adopts, registers and warehouses a mark without the intent to use of the trademark himself, but to use his trademark registration to extort licensing fees out of innocent parties who make rightful use of the mark. This practice runs contrary to the statutory mandate of the Lanham Act and the policies that trademark law was designed to serve. Recently, the Seventh Circuit had the opportunity to rule on this issue when one such trademark entrepreneur …

Land Use Regulation: The Weak Link In Environmental Protection, A. Dan Tarlock
All Faculty Scholarship
Professor William Rodgers is one of the handful of legal academics who have shaped and influenced environmental law since it was created out of whole cloth in the late 1960s. The staggering quantity, quality, breadth, and creativity of his scholarship are perhaps unrivaled among his peers. It is easy to criticize the gap between the environmental problems that society faces and the inadequate legal tools and institutions that we have created to confront them. Professor Rodgers has always been able to see both the deep flaws in environmental law and the possibilities for more responsive legal regimes.
Hard Or Soft Pluralism?: Positive, Normative, And Institutional Considerations Of States’ Extraterritorial Powers, Mark D. Rosen
Hard Or Soft Pluralism?: Positive, Normative, And Institutional Considerations Of States’ Extraterritorial Powers, Mark D. Rosen
All Faculty Scholarship
This article is an invited commentary to an extremely thought-provoking address delivered by Richard H. Fallon, Jr., that addressed unexpected consequences that would follow a reversal of Roe v. Wade. The article addresses the question of states’ extraterritorial powers, and asks whether Mary, a citizen of a state that prohibited abortions (let’s say Utah), could be barred from obtaining abortions in a state (let’s say California) in which abortions were legal.
The Article makes seven points in relation to this question. Its observations are relevant not only to the unlikely event of Roe’s demise, but also to a non-trivial class …

The Problem With Unpaid Work, Katharine K. Baker
The Problem With Unpaid Work, Katharine K. Baker
All Faculty Scholarship
This article examines the problems with a social norm that assumes women should shoulder a disproportionate amount of unpaid family work. It evaluates the most recent empirical data which suggests that women continue to do substantially more unpaid work than men, and men continue to do substantially more paid work than women. It then briefly reviews two standard explanations for where this gendered division of work may come from, biological inclination and/or systems of male dominance. It suggests that neither of these traditional explanations have given adequate consideration to the normative question begged by the extant division of labor. Is …

Remedying Trade Remedies, Sungjoon Cho
All Faculty Scholarship
Although competition has been an ideological beacon of economic governance ever since the birth of the Union, it has largely been an internal affair. External competition from foreign producers has failed to be factored into antitrust scrutiny. On the contrary, the government, through its trade policies such as antidumping remedies, has often hampered foreign competition to protect domestic producers at the expense of all the benefits that foreign competition might bring to the economy. Antidumping remedies tend to create a legal cartel: they fix the import prices and generate non-price predation by petitioners. However, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)'s potential …

Of The World Trade Court's Burden, Sungjoon Cho
All Faculty Scholarship
Decisions of the WTO tribunal (Court) on sensitive disputes, such as those concerning human health, have often caused resentment from some groups, besides losing parties. Beneath this disapproval against the Court lies an image of a Dworkinian Hercules which capriciously renders its own answers on risks and science. In judging which party should win the case, this Hercules assesses parties' arguments and evidence on risks and regulatory responses through a technical rule labeled the “burden of proof” (BOP). Yet, the BOP is more of the Court's burden than of parties' burden (who to prove) in that the final outcome of …
Toward An Identity Theory Of International Organizations, Sungjoon Cho
Toward An Identity Theory Of International Organizations, Sungjoon Cho
All Faculty Scholarship
Conventional international relations (IR) theorists, such as realists, neo-functionalists or regime theorists, view international organizations (IOs) as passive tools with which to achieve certain goals. Although an IO may facilitate inter-state cooperation and reduce transaction costs, it does not have a life of its own. Therefore, conventional IR theorists focus mostly on the creation of an IO and inter-state cooperation leading up to the creation. As a result, an IO's institutional change remains rather an “under-studied” and “under-theorized” issue in the conventional international relations (IR) framework.
Granted, conventional IR theories may provide useful insights on an inter-national dynamic among creators …

The Protection Of Databases, Daniel J. Gervais
Chicago-Kent Law Review
In Parts I and II of this Paper, the author analyzes the legal protection of databases first in international treaties, in particular the Berne Convention and the WTO TRIPS Agreement, and second under national and regional copyright, sui generis, or other (e.g., tort) law in Europe (both the European Directive on the legal protection of databases of 1996, which was under review, and a number of relevant national laws), the United States, and a number of foreign jurisdictions (Australia, Canada, China, Nigeria, Russia, and Singapore). In Part III, the author provides a critical analysis of the effort to expand the …

Technological Change And The Design Of Plant Variety Protection Regimes, Mark D. Janis, Stephen Smith
Chicago-Kent Law Review
In this paper, we examine the potential for plant variety protection ("PVP") regimes—that is, sui generis, industry-specific intellectual property regimes—to become compromised as a result of technological change. In particular, we analyze the shift in plant breeding from phenotypic selection to genotypic selection, and consider the impact of that shift on existing plant variety protection. We also lay out an alternative structure for plant intellectual property protection based on unfair competition, a model that differs radically in some respects from current PVP schemes. We offer our model as a starting point for debate on adaptations that might improve PVP …

Copyright, Translations, And Relations Between Britain And India In The Nineteenth And Early Twentieth Centuries, Lionel Bently
Chicago-Kent Law Review
This paper examines the tension between trade and development, and its handling in multiple layers of law-making through an historical case study concerning copyright in India in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century. The paper explains the emergence of views in the Government of India of what copyright law should cover that reflected longstanding but not unproblematic assumptions about India's need for European knowledge and learning. The belief that India needed access to European knowledge informed resistance to the desires of British publishers that copyright owners should be able to control the making of translations of their works. These divergences between …
Quibbling Siblings: Conflicts Between Trademarks And Geographical Indications, Dev Gangjee
Quibbling Siblings: Conflicts Between Trademarks And Geographical Indications, Dev Gangjee
Chicago-Kent Law Review
The relationship between trademarks and geographical indications ("GIs") has historically been tempestuous. Each of these quibbling siblings, members of the broader family of unfair competition law, entitles registrants to the exclusive use of a sign. So what happens when a GI collective and a trademark proprietor lay claim to the same sign within a single jurisdiction? As part of the renewed interest in TRIPs flexibilities and attempts at accommodating or reconciling differences between national laws, this paper explores a newly emerging space that may just be big enough for the both of them. The analysis draws on a recent World …
