Police Discretion And Traffic Enforcement: A Government Of Men, Illya Lichtenberg
Cleveland State Law Review
Police across the nation have long been accused of using the broad discretion afforded to them in traffic enforcement as a pretext for criminal investigation. Despite this widely held belief, there is little evidence to suggest that courts have put forth any effort, or have even considered remedying or reducing the wide spread abuse of police discretion in traffic stops, with the exception of racial profiling. This Article addresses the apparent gap in the legal and social science literature concerning the unequal enforcement of traffic laws. How extensive do the police abuse the discretionary powers they are afforded in enforcing …

Rules Of The Road On Private Land, Margaret Mazza
Cleveland State Law Review
As the number of automobiles increases, and as a main attraction to retail merchandising becomes the amount of parking facilities available to customers, courts will be confronted more often with traffic accidents on private property. Whether the common law rules of negligence are used, or whether the statutory regulations are applied initially or indirectly by analogy, the courts will find it more and more important to settle this legal problem uniformly and realistically.

Heart Attacks As A Defense In Negligence Actions, Jerry B. Kraig
Cleveland State Law Review
The general rule in the United States today is that an unforeseen heart attack which leads to loss of consciousness, or to inability to maintain control of a motor vehicle, is not negligence. When an operator of an automobile is suddenly stricken by a heart attack, and as a consequence there is an injury to a person or damage to property, a defense based upon the fact of a heart attack will preclude recovery by an injured plaintiff.

Saving America's Automobile Industry: The Bailouts Of 1979 And 2009, An Overview Of The Economic Conditions, Factors For Failure, Government Interventions And Public Reactions, Taylor A. Wall
CMC Senior Theses
This paper will discuss the bankruptcies experienced by U.S. automakers in both 1979 and 2009. The main factors which led the automakers into financial ruin was the uncontrolled power of labor unions, the severe financial impact of oil embargos, the aggressive imposition of federal regulations and the increasing dominance of Japanese imports. After discussing these important factors, the paper will describe the specifics of Chrysler’s bailout experience in 1979 with the positive public acceptance of the government loans, largely due to the character of Lee Iacocca. After delving into Chrysler, this paper will explain the specifics of the government’s bailout …

Boilerplate And Economic Power In Auto-Manufacturing Contracts, Omri Ben-Shahar, James J. White
Book Chapters
This chapter examines the boilerplate contracts used by auto makers to procure parts from suppliers. It identifies drafting and negotiation techniques that are used to secure advantageous terms. It also explores some prominent specific arrangements as evidence that firms with bargaining power are exploiting their position to dictate self-serving but inefficient terms. Finally, it shows how standard contractual clauses solve the problem of ex-post hold-up by suppliers.

Off The Roads & Out Of The Courts: Enter A Technology Fix For Drunk Driving, Nora J. Pasman-Green
Journal of Law and Health
For years, scholars, scientists, policymakers, and public advocacy groups have been exploring and debating whether AIIDs (alcohol ignition interlock devices) would effectively prevent someone from driving drunk. AIIDs measure blood alcohol content (BAC), which is the underlying scientific evidence of driving impairment. Indeed, the technology supporting AIIDs has steadily improved. Progress toward a consensus that identifies and ranks the potential goals that can be achieved with the AIID technology is slowly crystallizing. AIIDs have their found into way into legislation, both nationally and internationally, particularly legislation aimed at repeat offenders. And, installing AIIDs as standard equipment on vehicles has, indeed, …
