The University of New Hampshire Law Review
[Excerpt] "The skies, soil, and water of every state are polluted every day.

Appellate Conflicts In Local Government Law: The Disagreements Of A Decade, R. Perry Sentell Jr.
Appellate Conflicts In Local Government Law: The Disagreements Of A Decade, R. Perry Sentell Jr.
Mercer Law Review
In awesome solemnity, Chief Justice John Marshall thundered in 1803, "[i]t is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is." Marshall's historic declaration has borne both lavish praise and unstinting criticism, and it serves as the commonly understood sentiment underlying the legal order of our country. At both federal and state levels, the "judicial department" rules our daily lives by virtue of saying "what the law is."
At the state level, constitutions and statutes typically establish a judicial branch of government and populate that branch with all manner of courts-local, trial, and appellate. …

"My city was desirous of suing the county for violating the city's zoning ordinance .... As City Attorney, I was requested to research the matter and give an opinion to the Mayor and Council .... After giving my opinion that a suit against the county would be contrary to law and might subject the city (and its lawyer) to attorney's fees, the [Mlayor and [Clouncil voted unanimously to sue the county. The local newspaper's headlines read, 'City Votes Unanimously To Sue County Against Advice of City Attorney!' One of the Council members was quoted as saying, 'regardless of the law, …

Providing Access To Generic Antiretroviral Drugs To People Living With Hiv/Aids In Developing Countries: An Examination Of Legal Obligations, Cheluchi Onyemelukwe
Providing Access To Generic Antiretroviral Drugs To People Living With Hiv/Aids In Developing Countries: An Examination Of Legal Obligations, Cheluchi Onyemelukwe
LLM Theses
The HIV/AIDS epidemic is a devastating medical, social and economic problem in many developing countries. Presently, the only therapeutic remedies for the disease are antiretroviral drugs, which do not cure HIV/AIDS but are effective in restoring the health of people living with HIV/AIDS. Unfortunately, these drugs are unavailable to many people living with the disease in developing countries. This has been attributed to the exorbitant prices resulting from the patent rights of multinational pharmaceutical companies over the drugs. Legal literature has therefore focused principally on intellectual property rights as obstacles to access to antiretroviral drugs in developing countries. This thesis, …
Public Nuisance Claims Against Gun Sellers: New Insights And Challenges, Jean Macchiaroli Eggen, John G. Culhane
Public Nuisance Claims Against Gun Sellers: New Insights And Challenges, Jean Macchiaroli Eggen, John G. Culhane
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Gun violence continues unabated. Regulation of these deadly instruments is woefully inadequate, and legislatures are compounding the problem by barring or restricting access to the courts for the death and injuries that guns cause. In short, Congress and state legislators have repeatedly acquiesced to the demands of the gun lobby.
During the past several years, cities have struck back by filing public nuisance claims against those gun sellers whose practices pose a risk to the public's health and safety. After a slow start, public nuisance claims have recently gained traction in state appellate courts, which are increasingly coming to realize …
Terminating Calder: "Effects" Based Jurisdiction In The Ninth Circuit After Schwarzenegger V. Fred Martin Motor Co., A. Benjamin Spencer
Terminating Calder: "Effects" Based Jurisdiction In The Ninth Circuit After Schwarzenegger V. Fred Martin Motor Co., A. Benjamin Spencer
Faculty Publications
In Calder v. Jones, the Supreme Court clearly and succinctly determined that personal jurisdiction is appropriate over a defendant whose only contact with the forum state is its intentional actions aimed at and having harmful "effects" in the forum state. Illustrating the extent to which the law of personal jurisdiction had been relaxed from the time of Pennoyer v. Neff and International Shoe Co. v. Washington, Calder also extended the reach of state courts by permitting jurisdiction over out-of-state defendants on the strength of the plaintiffs' connections with the forum state. Although Calder provided a welcome and much …

Balancing Security And Access In The Nation's Capital: Managing Federal Security-Related Street Closures And Traffic Restrictions In The District Of Columbia, D.C. Appleseed Center For Law And Justice
University of the District of Columbia Law Review
This report was prepared in December 2003 in order to stimulate a dialogue on the role the District of Columbia government should play with the federal government in attempting to achieve an appropriate balance between physical security and open access to public space when deciding on traffic restrictions around or near federal buildings or federal sites in the District of Columbia. A summary of this report was presented at the UDC/DCSL Law Review November 2003 symposium "In the Aftermath of September 11: Defending Civil liberties in the Nation's Capital." Since this report was prepared there has been an ebb and …
The Police Power Revisited: Phantom Incorporation And The Roots Of The Takings Muddle, Bradley C. Karkkainen
The Police Power Revisited: Phantom Incorporation And The Roots Of The Takings Muddle, Bradley C. Karkkainen
ExpressO
This article traces the roots of the current muddle in the Supreme Court’s regulatory takings jurisprudence to an ill-considered “phantom incorporation” holding in Penn Central v. New York (1978), the seminal case of the modern regulatory takings era. The Penn Central Court anachronistically misread a long line of Fourteenth Amendment Substantive Due Process cases as Fifth Amendment Takings Clause cases, misattributing to Chicago Burlington & Quincy v. Chicago (1897) (“Chicago B & Q”) the crucial holding that the Fifth Amendment Takings Clause applied to the states. Like other cases of its era, Chicago B & Q was decided strictly on …

Community Determinants Of Volunteer Participation: The Case Of Japan, Mary Alice Haddad
Community Determinants Of Volunteer Participation: The Case Of Japan, Mary Alice Haddad
Mary Alice Haddad
Why are some communities more civically engaged than others? Why do some communities provide services with volunteer labor whereas others rely primarily on government provision? When communities provide both volunteer and paid labor for the same service, how do they motivate and organize those volunteers? This article addresses these questions through quantitative tests of prevailing explanations for levels of civic engagement (e.g., education, TV viewing, urbanization) and qualitative analyses of case studies of three medium-sized cities in Japan, focusing particularly on the service areas of firefighting and elder care. The statistical analyses demonstrate that current explanations that rely on individual …

Finding Immunity: Manders V. Lee And The Erosion Of § 1983 Liability, Thomas B. Ward
Finding Immunity: Manders V. Lee And The Erosion Of § 1983 Liability, Thomas B. Ward
Mercer Law Review
In Manders v. Lee, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit held that a Georgia county sheriff is an arm of the state when acting in his official capacity in implementing and enforcing use-of-force guidelines and, thus, is immune from suit in federal court under the Eleventh Amendment.' This decision creates considerable uncertainty in the area of government-entity liability under 42 U.S.C. § 19833 because of the potentially broad impact of this newly established analytical approach.
