Why Law Now Needs To Control Rather Than Follow Neo-Classical Economics, 2016 University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School
Why Law Now Needs To Control Rather Than Follow Neo-Classical Economics, John William Draper
Librarian Scholarship at Penn Law
Selfish utilitarianism, neo-classical economics, the directive of short-term income maximization, and the decision tool of cost-benefit analysis fail to protect our species from the significant risks of too much consumption, pollution, or population. For a longer-term survival, humanity needs to employ more than cost-justified precaution.
This article argues that, at the global level, and by extension at all levels of government, we need to replace neo-classical economics with filters for safety and feasibility to regulate against significant risk. For significant risks, especially those that are irreversible, we need decision tools that will protect humanity at all scales. This article describes …
High Prices In The U.S. For Life-Saving Drugs: Collective Bargaining Through Tort Law?, 2016 Marquette University Law School
High Prices In The U.S. For Life-Saving Drugs: Collective Bargaining Through Tort Law?, Paul J. Zwier
Marquette Benefits and Social Welfare Law Review
Sudden exorbitant price hikes to patients who have long taken life-saving drugs are more and more common in today’s pharmaceutical market. The anxiety caused to patients who have been prescribed these drugs by their doctors is predictable and severe. Even when initially covered by insurance or through government programs, patients and their families can soon be made destitute by the high copays or caps on payments. This Essay argues that those who buy up life-saving drugs and decide to raise their prices, despite their knowledge of the consequences to patients, are committing the torts of intentional infliction of emotional distress …
Essay: Understanding Employment Discrimination Litigation In China Through The Notion Of "Rights Apathy", 2016 Marquette University Law School
Essay: Understanding Employment Discrimination Litigation In China Through The Notion Of "Rights Apathy", Sheera Chan, Mimi Zou
Marquette Benefits and Social Welfare Law Review
The psycho-legal concept of “rights apathy” is developed in
this Essay as an underlying factor of the very low rate of
incidence of workplace discrimination lawsuits filed in China,
despite an increasingly elaborate legal framework “on paper”
and workers’ rising awareness of their legal rights under
anti-discrimination laws. “Rights apathy” is underpinned by the
notions of “frustration” and “learned helplessness,” depicting the
indifference of workers in exercising their legal rights before a
tribunal or court. A number of institutional problems, namely
defects in existing anti-discrimination provisions, judicial
practices, and contradictions in other laws, policies, and
practices, can contribute to the …
Protective Plan Provisions For Employer-Sponsored Employee Benefit Plans, 2016 Marquette University Law School
Protective Plan Provisions For Employer-Sponsored Employee Benefit Plans, Kathryn J. Kennedy
Marquette Benefits and Social Welfare Law Review
Federal case law has provided plan sponsors of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA)
covered plans with the ability to insert plan provisions that are
more favorable to the plan sponsor rather than the plan
participant or beneficiary (so-called “protective plan provisions”).
This Article first examines what is the “plan document” for
purposes of ERISA and what protective plan provisions should
be considered for insertion into the plan document and its
related “instruments.”
Allowing States To Help Workers Safe For Retirement: Department Of Labor's Proposed Rulemaking That Provides A Safe Harbor For State Savings Programs Under Erisa, 2016 Marquette University Law School
Allowing States To Help Workers Safe For Retirement: Department Of Labor's Proposed Rulemaking That Provides A Safe Harbor For State Savings Programs Under Erisa, William A. Nelson
Marquette Benefits and Social Welfare Law Review
There is a “retirement crisis” in America. Contributing to
this crisis is the fact that millions of Americans do not have
access to a retirement savings plan through their employers.
States, concerned with the economic stability of their citizens,
have created laws that require private sector employers to
implement state-administered payroll deduction IRA programs
in their workplaces. Even though many states are currently
debating whether to adopt state payroll deduction programs,
this Article will focus on Oregon, Illinois, and California, which
have enacted laws along those lines.
One obstruction to wider adoption of such state measures
has been uncertainty about …

UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship
On many accounts, it is a tale of two cities. The headlines and marketing machines tout to the world that “The Big Easy is Back.” But beyond the celebrations and parades, the story for poor Katrina survivors is very different. While many residents and businesses are enjoying a resurgence a decade after Katrina stormed through, others in post-Katrina New Orleans have a different experience. More than ten years after Hurricane Katrina, the city still struggles with systemic failures. These problem areas include housing, health care, mental health treatment, employment, education, and the criminal justice system. All of these challenges are …
