The Safety Risks Of Proposed Fuel Economy Legislation, John D. Graham

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

Based on, e.g., a comprehensive assessment of what is known of factors influencing automobile safety, previous industry responses to requirements for fuel economy and prior success of regulators in reducing injuries, Professor Graham concludes that pending fuel economy bills are apt to add 1650 fatalities and 8500 serious accidents to the annual highway toll. He also presents several short-term and long-term strategies for simultaneously saving fuel and lives.


An Economic And Political Look At Federalism In Taxation, Daniel Shaviro Mar 1992

An Economic And Political Look At Federalism In Taxation, Daniel Shaviro

Michigan Law Review

Part I of this article examines the reasons for preferring locationally neutral taxes and explains the basic tension between locational neutrality and state and local autonomy in taxation. Part II examines the federal judicial check on state and local taxation, which often relies on a principle barring discrimination against outsiders or interstate commerce. Part III explores the need for a broad federal judicial check by examining state and local governments' reasons for imposing (or avoiding) locationally distortive taxes, the countervailing benefits of allowing such governments broad autonomy in taxation, and Congress' willingness to strike down locationally distortive taxes under its …

Contemporary Piracy And Maritime Terrorism: Towards An Effective International Legal Response, David L. Scott Jan 1992

Contemporary Piracy And Maritime Terrorism: Towards An Effective International Legal Response, David L. Scott

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

Piracy at sea has been a threat which has plagued the mariner since the earliest trading vessels took to the sea more than two thousand years ago. to those outside of the maritime community, the notion of piracy likely conjures up visions of Captain Kidd and Blackbeard, the sort of lifestyle, popularized in the Errol Flynn movies of the 1930x, which has long since passed into history. In reality, violence and robbery at sea is alive and well in certain geographic locations around the globe. In the past decade, the problem of pirate attack upon merchant vessels has become especially …

The Origin And Future Of Exclusion Representation In American Labor Law, Richard R. Carlson Jan 1992

The Origin And Future Of Exclusion Representation In American Labor Law, Richard R. Carlson

Duquesne Law Review

One of the distinguishing characteristics of American labor law is the doctrine of exclusive representation, which permits a single union to represent all employees in a localized "bargaining unit" on the basis of majority rule. This method of employee representation is unusual among collective bargaining systems in the rest of the industrialized world. Undoubtedly, it has served as a unique source of strength for American unions when they have achieved majority status, but over the long run their dependence on exclusive representation and need for majority status have contributed to the decline of collective representation in the United States. This …

Foreign Investment Promotion: Thailand As A Model For Economic Development In Vietnam, Camellia Ngo Jan 1992

Foreign Investment Promotion: Thailand As A Model For Economic Development In Vietnam, Camellia Ngo

UC Law SF International Law Review

The investment promotion strategy of any nation, as set forth in its investment promotion laws, plays a crucial role in its economic development. Vietnam, rumored to be Southeast Asia's "next Asian Tiger," currently maintains one of the most liberal foreign investment codes of any developing nation. Vietnam currently looks to Thailand as a model for economic development. This note discusses the 1987 Law on Foreign Investment in Vietnam (1987 FIL) and the Investment Promotion Act of Thailand and contrasts the two countries' strategies for developing their economies through enactment of foreign investment promotion legislation. This note concludes that Vietnam's 1987 …

Future Of Fishery Management And Its Impact On The Seafood Industry: A Comparison Of United States And Canadian Fishery Management Policies After Unclos Iii, Ferdinand J. Iii Gallo Jan 1992

Future Of Fishery Management And Its Impact On The Seafood Industry: A Comparison Of United States And Canadian Fishery Management Policies After Unclos Iii, Ferdinand J. Iii Gallo

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

The United States and Canadian fishery management regimes each professes to fulfill the goals of conservation enumerated under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 1982 (UNCLOS III). These goals include conservation of scarce fish stocks and "optimum utilization" of those limited resources. The Canadian regime of centralized authority, informality and flexibility, however, actually comes closest to fulfilling these goals. While the United States may adopt some of the key elements of the Canadian regime, several barriers exist to such reforms.Another method for reconciling the differences between U.S. and Canadian policies would include the implementation of …

God Is Dead: Killed By Fifty Years Of Establishment Clause Jurisprudence., Raul M. Rodriguez Jan 1992

God Is Dead: Killed By Fifty Years Of Establishment Clause Jurisprudence., Raul M. Rodriguez

St. Mary's Law Journal

In 1980, the Supreme Court in Stone v. Graham addressed the issue of whether a statute requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in all public school classrooms was an unconstitutional establishment of religion. Applying the Lemon test the Court found the statute’s purpose to be religious and ruled it unconstitutional. Yet, had the state required the placement of the following “secular commandments” in every classroom, it is unlikely the Court would have found an Establishment Clause violation. Stone illustrates what the Supreme Court’s Establishment Clause jurisprudence has become. The Court has misconstrued the meaning of the “establishment of religion” …
