Federal Regulation Of Agricultural Biotechnologies, Thomas O. Mcgarity

Foreign Farm Workers In The U.S.: The Impact Of The Immigration Reform And Control Act Of 1986, Stephen W. Yale-Loehr

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

The enactment of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 ("IRCA"), popularly known as the Simpson-Rodino Act, was in large part spurred by Congressional desire to exercise more effective control over the influx of foreign farm workers in this country. This is not a new issue; the U.S. has admitted temporary foreign agricultural workers since 1917, and their entry has always been the subject of heated debate. Between 1942 and 1964 the "bracero" program allowed Mexicans to work temporarily in U.S. agriculture, but this program resulted in massive civil rights and labor violations and depressed wages in the Southwest. …

Mediation In Debtor/Creditor Relationships, Edward A. Morse

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Two states that have substantial interests in agricultural debtor/creditor relationships have attempted to limit the social and economic costs of prematurely terminating the debtor/creditor relationship. Iowa and Minnesota have adopted a statutory requirement that the creditor offer to submit to mediation prior to taking any debt collection action against an agricultural borrower. This Note argues that requiring creditors to offer mediation as a statutory prerequisite to debt collection is an effective means of reducing the social and economic costs of the premature termination of a debtor/creditor relationship in business contexts. Part I examines the conceptual foundations of the mediation process …
