Climate Change Comes To The Clean Water Act: Now What?, Robin Kundis Craig Mar 2010

Climate Change Comes To The Clean Water Act: Now What?, Robin Kundis Craig

Washington and Lee Journal of Energy, Climate, and the Environment

In January 2009, the EPA agreed to respond to the Center for Biological Diversity’s (CBD’s) petition requesting it to modify its marine pH water quality criteria to reflect ocean acidification. Ocean acidification, however, is a by-product of increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Thus, climate change has come to the Clean Water Act—and in May 2009, the CBD filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Washington to bring this point home. The question, of course, is what the Clean Water Act can actually contribute to efforts to deal with climate change. After reviewing the …


Using National Border Climate Adjustment Schemes To Facilitate Global Greenhouse Gas Management In Industrial Production, Alexandra Khrebtukova Mar 2010

Using National Border Climate Adjustment Schemes To Facilitate Global Greenhouse Gas Management In Industrial Production, Alexandra Khrebtukova

Washington and Lee Journal of Energy, Climate, and the Environment

I argue that an appropriately conceived and well-designed border climate adjustment scheme, as a policy mechanism potentially utilizable by many States party to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, may lead to desirable consequences for the development of comprehensive global greenhouse gas management in furtherance of the Framework Convention’s objectives. By creating the conditions for a healthy experimentalism and regulatory competition among the regulating bodies of diverse national markets, the use of origin-neutral border climate adjustment schemes, equivalent to the climate regulatory costs imposed on like domestic products as a condition of market access, may lead to a …

Washington and Lee Law Review

He brings this judgment to the defendant's state in the United States to collect from her bank account. The defendant 's state's court could not have entered the plaint /ffs judgment because offirst-Amendment doctrines that stem from New York Times v. Sullivan.

Invoking the First Amendment under a public-policy exception to comity, U.S. courts have rejectedforeign-nation defamation judgments. State …

Climate Change, Scale, And Devaluation: The Challenge Of Our Built Environment, Nathan F. Sayre Mar 2010

Climate Change, Scale, And Devaluation: The Challenge Of Our Built Environment, Nathan F. Sayre

Washington and Lee Journal of Energy, Climate, and the Environment

Climate debate and policy proposals in the United States have yet to grasp the gravity and magnitude of the challenges posed by global warming. This paper develops three arguments to redress this situation. First, the spatial and temporal scale of the processes linking greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to climate change is unprecedented in human experience, challenging our abilities to comprehend, let alone act. An adequate understanding of the scale of global warming leads to an unequivocal starting point for all discussions: we must leave as much fossil fuel in the ground as possible, for as long as possible. Second, a …

Stare Decisis As Judicial Doctrine, Randy J. Kozel Mar 2010

Stare Decisis As Judicial Doctrine, Randy J. Kozel

Washington and Lee Law Review

Stare decisis has been called many things, among them "~a principle of policy, " "a series ofprudential and pragmatic considerations, " and simply "the preferred course. " Often overlooked is the fact that stare decisis is also a judicial doctrine, an analytical system used to guide the rules of decision for resolving concrete disputes that come before the courts. This Article examines stare decisis as applied by the U.S. Supreme Cour~, our nation 's highest doctrinal authority. A review of the Court 'sjurisprudence yields two principal lessons about the modern doctrine of stare decisis. First, the doctrine is comprised largely …


The Story Of Us: Resolving The Face-Off Between Autobiographical Speech And Information Privacy, Sonja R. West Mar 2010

The Story Of Us: Resolving The Face-Off Between Autobiographical Speech And Information Privacy, Sonja R. West

Washington and Lee Law Review

Increasingly more "ordinary"A mericans are choosing to share their life experiences with a public audience. In doing so, however, they are revealing more than their own personal stories; they are exposing private information about others as well. The faceoff between autobiographical speech and information privacy is coming to a head, and our legal system is not prepared to handle it. In a prior article, I established that autobiographicals peech is a unique and important category of speech that is at risk of being undervalued under current Law. This Article builds on my earlier work by addressing the emerging conflict between …

A Dark Descent Into Reality: Making The Case For An Objective Definition Of Torture, Michael W. Lewis Jan 2010

A Dark Descent Into Reality: Making The Case For An Objective Definition Of Torture, Michael W. Lewis

Washington and Lee Law Review

The definition of torture is broken. The malleability of the term "severe pain or suffering" at the heart of the definition has created a situation in which the world agrees on the words but cannot agree on their meaning. The "V know it when I see it" nature of the discussion of torture makes it clear that the definition is largely left to the eye of the beholder. This is particularly problematic when international Law's reliance on self-enforcement is considered After discussing current misconceptions about intelligence gathering and coercion that are common to all sides of the torture debate, this …


The Company Of Scoundrels, Ronald J. Bacigal Jan 2010

The Company Of Scoundrels, Ronald J. Bacigal

Washington and Lee Law Review

My initial reaction to Brett Shockley's Note, Protecting Due Process from the PROTECT Act: The Problems with Increasing Periods of Supervised Release for Sexual Offenders, was to admire his courage. Not many people would undertake a discussion of possible injustice to child pornographers, who surely rank with terrorists and drug dealers as the most reviled and least sympathetic claimants for fair treatment. Shockley puts aside the moral condemnation these people deserve, and focuses on the morality of Procedure-the rule of Law if you will-divorced from the worthiness, or lack thereof, of particular defendants. As students of criminal Procedure come to …
