Liabilities Of The Innocent Current Owner Of Toxic Property Under Cercla, Diana L. Mcdavid

University of Richmond Law Review

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 ("CERCLA") was enacted to facilitate prompt cleanup of property contaminated by hazardous wastes. CERCLA seeks to accomplish its goal in part by placing the financial burden of cleanup on those parties who are responsible for the problem and who benefited from the hazardous waste activity. Because environmental cleanup is a national priority and the cost of cleaning up toxic waste sites is staggering, the scope of liability under CERCLA is broad. A clean environment is a laudable goal and compelling responsible parties to bear the cost of cleanup is fair, …

Constitutional Challenges To Washington's Limit On Noneconomic Damages In Cases Of Personal Injury And Death, Marco De Sa E Silva

Washington Law Review

This Comment considers the constitutionality of the Washington cap on noneconomic damages. The Comment briefly reviews the recent legislation of medical malpractice and tort reform damages ceilings and judicial decisions on the constitutionality of such ceilings. The Comment then analyzes the constitutionality of the Washington limit under the substantive due process and equal protection guarantees of the federal and state constitutions. Because under the federal constitution a court should give the statute only minimal scrutiny, the statute probably does not offend fourteenth amendment protections. Under the Washington Constitution, however, a court should give the statute intermediate scrutiny. Under intermediate scrutiny …

Water Quality Control: Integrating Beneficial Use and Environmental Protection (Summer Conference, June 1-3)

Conference organizers and/or faculty included University of Colorado School of Law professors David H. Getches, Lawrence J. MacDonnell and Charles F. Wilkinson.

Protecting water quality is essential to preserve the many beneficial uses of western water resources. This conference addresses the dominant federal requirements in the Clean Water Act, including the important major revisions enacted by Congress in 1987, with special attention to western problems regarding nonpoint source pollution. Developments in groundwater quality regulation are considered, as are selected issues concerning the implications of state and federal water quality regulation for the traditional exercise of water rights.

The Exclusive Economic Zone Of The Northwestern Hawaiian Islands: When Do Uninhabited Islands Generate An Eez, Jon M. Van Dyke, Joseph Morgan, Jonathan Gurish

San Diego Law Review

Hawaii is the only state in the United Stats that consists solely of islands. These islands are unique among the states in climate and life style, and they present unique problems to those who would define their jurisdiction over the adjacent ocean areas. The eight main inhabited Hawaiian islands are entitled to territorial seas, contiguous zones, exclusive economic zones, and continental shelves, which are measured in the same way that similar zones are delineated outward from continental land territories. To the northwest of these main islands is a chain of smaller insular outcroppings that are a wildlife preserve for sea …

Onshore Oil And Gas Leasing On Public Lands: At What Point Does Nepa Require The Preparation Of An Environmental Impact Statement, Thomas D. Mauriello

San Diego Law Review

The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) has become the major legal instrument for monitoring and litigating conflicts between oil and gas development, and other resource values on federal public lands. Courts have differed over whether the issuance of oil and gas leases triggers NEPA's environmental impact statement requirement. This Comment suggests that, while NEPA has some inherent limitations as a land use planning statute, courts can and should provide aggressive review of agency leasing decisions in order to effectuate NEPA's policies.

Les Sciences Jurisdiques À L'Université Du Québec À Montréal: Fifteen Years Later, Robert D. Bureau, Carol Jobin

Dalhousie Law Journal

The experiment of the Law Department as a new approach to legal education has been going on now for 15 years. It has directly involved more than 1,500 people as students, instructors (professors and sessional lecturers) and support staff (administrative and library personnel, etc.). This experiment has a unique identity, indeed a distinctive image, which has given rise to a certain amount of controversy in the Quebec legal milieu. Especially since the debates stemming from the publication of the Law and Learning Report, it seems that the experiment has also aroused a certain amount of curiosity in the Canadian legal …
