Reduced Discretion In Corporate Governance As Applied To The Pharmaceutical Industry In Nevada, Timothy Koval

Nevada Law Journal

This Note focuses on an education-based alternative to promote effective interactions between pharmaceutical corporations and physicians that benefit patients while allowing these corporations to exercise business discretion. Specifically, educational programs that teach physicians how to interact with pharmaceutical corporations most effectively may maximize the benefits for all parties involved. Although many of the arguments presented may be extended to corporations that sell or market medical devices or appliances, their application in that context is beyond the scope of this Note. In Part II, this Note discusses the background of corporate decision-making and its application in the pharmaceutical industry in Nevada. …

When The Governor Legislates: Post-Enactment Budget Changes And The Separation Of Powers In Nevada, Joanna M. Myers

Nevada Law Journal

This Note addresses two key questions. First, it addresses whether Governor Gibbons's attempt to unilaterally cut the budget violates Nevada law and the Nevada Constitution. Second, it addresses whether the Governor's continued spending of federal stimulus money pursuant to allegedly delegated authority also violates Nevada law and the presentment requirements of the Nevada Constitution. Alternatively, would a Nevada statute granting the Governor power to unilaterally increase, reduce, or withhold the budget of state agencies constitute an excessive and unconstitutional delegation of legislative power to the Governor?

This Note attempts to answer this question through a multi-faceted and detailed discussion examining …

Nevada Law Journal

This article examines the initiative process. Currently, twenty-four states utilize the initiative process in one form or another as a popular way for their citizens to directly voice their opinion on what laws they want passed. Unfortunately, the process is somewhat prone to fraud. A petition’s proponents usually pay circulators for each signature they obtain, whether or not the Secretary of State ultimately validates it.

In Part II, this Note looks at the history of the initiative process, the initiative process in Nevada, in particular, and the National Conference of State Legislature’s recommendations. Part III analyzes which recommendations Nevada has …
