Use Of Government Funding And Taxing Power To Regulate Schools, Carl H. Esbeck, Kline Capps Jan 1985

Use Of Government Funding And Taxing Power To Regulate Schools, Carl H. Esbeck, Kline Capps

Faculty Publications

The past two decades in America have witnessed a resurgence of interest in religious-based schooling. Manifestations of this trend are evident in the increased number of primary and secondary students enrolled in religious schools and the rapidity with which new church-affiliated schools are being opened.

Patients, Agents, And Informed Consent, Joram Graf Haber Jan 1985

Patients, Agents, And Informed Consent, Joram Graf Haber

Journal of Law and Health

In Part II of this article, I develop the "patient" / agent distinction from the vantage point of humanistic ethics. This is the view that the knowledge of man is the basis for establishing norms and values. In Part III, I argue that the "patient" / agent distinction correlates the the Kantian notions of heteronomy / autonomy, and disrespect for autonomy / respect for autonomy. In Part IV, I show that the "patient" / agent distinction also correlates with the standards of disclosure the courts have adopted in deciding informed consent cases. Finally, in Part V, I show how the …


Asbestos: The Private Management Of A Public Problem, Harry H. Wellington Jan 1985

Asbestos: The Private Management Of A Public Problem, Harry H. Wellington

Cleveland State Law Review

Under the existing judicial system in America, asbestos litigation has reached epidemic proportions. It is extravagantly expensive and grotesquely inefficient. Conceivably billions of dollars are at stake in this group effort, and the fair treatment of thousands of very sick people, and thousands more who one day will be ill as a result of asbestos, may turn on the success of this private initiative (the Wellington Group) to design a private agency that will fairly and effectively manage the bulk of asbestos claims and asbestos product liability litigation. Section I provides background information on the asbestos problem: from the material …


When Is A Car A Bicycle And Other Riddles: The Definition Of A Security Under The Federal Securities Laws, M. Thomas Arnold Jan 1985

When Is A Car A Bicycle And Other Riddles: The Definition Of A Security Under The Federal Securities Laws, M. Thomas Arnold

Cleveland State Law Review

In Marine Bank v. Weaver, the United States Supreme Court decided that a certificate of deposit purchased from a federally-regulated bank was not, under the circumstances of the case, a security under federal laws. Several recent federal court cases have considered the question of the status of certificates of deposit under factual circumstances somewhat different from Weaver. Two of these cases provide an interesting study of the uncertainty that continues to surround the definition of a security. And despite the lengthy definitions of "security" found in federal securities laws, much uncertainty remains as to exactly what is included within the …

English Common Law And Islamic Law In The Middle East And South Asia: Religious Influences And Secularization, Herbert Liebesny Jan 1985

English Common Law And Islamic Law In The Middle East And South Asia: Religious Influences And Secularization, Herbert Liebesny

Cleveland State Law Review

In England, during the first half of the seventeenth century a serious conflict having both legal and political implications arose concerning the Royal Prerogative. King James I insisted upon the Royal Prerogative, which placed the King above the law and gave him absolute power. Sir Edward Coke, on his part, argues that the common law was above the King's Prerogative. This led to a violent clash between Coke and the King in November 1608. A general discussion of the further development of common law and of the decisive role of Parliament is beyond the framework of this Article. One aspect, …


Shufcah: Origins And Modern Doctrine, Farhat J. Ziadeh Jan 1985

Shufcah: Origins And Modern Doctrine, Farhat J. Ziadeh

Cleveland State Law Review

Shufah is an excellent example of the continuity of an Islamic institution and of the capacity of that institution for change. Although it is not, strictly speaking, a part of personal status law, which is said to be the only part of Islamic law that is being applied in Islamic countries, it has survived in a recognizable form. Islamic countries, in their attempts at law reform, have effected little change in the traditional law of personal states, only after heated discussions and controversy. On the other hand, profound changes were introduced into the traditional law of preemption with little controversy. …


The Definition Of A Security Under The Federal Securities Law Revisited, M. Thomas Arnold Jan 1985

The Definition Of A Security Under The Federal Securities Law Revisited, M. Thomas Arnold

Cleveland State Law Review

The United States Supreme Court recently decided two cases involving the definition of "security" as used in the federal securities acts. In this brief case comment I will summarize the majority and dissenting opinions in Landreth Timber Co. v. Landreth, and Gould v. Ruefenacht . I will then comment on some of the policy questions raised by the cases, and conclude by evaluating how much guidance the two cases provide on the proper definition of "security".


Western Ideology, Japanese Product Safety Regulation And International Trade, David S. Cohen Jan 1985

Western Ideology, Japanese Product Safety Regulation And International Trade, David S. Cohen

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

For the purposes of this paper, the barriers to an open Japanese market will be divided into two categories: Direct Official Barriers, and Non-Tariff Barriers (NTBs). The first category consists of positive restraints on imports such as tariffs and quotas. In response to Western criticism the Japanese government has, since the early 1960s, undertaken measures to dismantle gradually the aggressive protectionist wall which may have been necessary to revive the Japanese economy after the Second World War. In fact, in terms of quotas and tariffs, many observers presently consider Japan to be less protectionist than many North American and European …


Effective Dispute Resolution In United States-Japan Commercial Transactions Perspectives , Hoken S. Seki Jan 1985

Effective Dispute Resolution In United States-Japan Commercial Transactions Perspectives , Hoken S. Seki

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

This article seeks to acquaint the United States businessman and his legal counsel with the Japanese perspective, providing a greater level of understanding that would permit a more satisfying and effective conclusion to the dispute resolution process. The author's frequent visits to Japan, his years of representing Japanese individuals and corporations and his study of treatises by noted authorities, identified in the footnotes, are sources for the opinions and perspectives presented in this article. It is hoped that this article will be particularly useful in providing an over- view to those who have not had extensive previous contact with Japan, …

Legal Theory And The Pivotal Role Of The Concept Of Coercion, Dale A. Nance Jan 1985

Legal Theory And The Pivotal Role Of The Concept Of Coercion, Dale A. Nance

Faculty Publications

This paper addresses an important problem in modem legal philosophy: the problem of identifying the proper role of the concept of coercion in a general theory of the nature of law. The present state of philosophical art on this topic is the legacy of difficulties arising from a naive positivism - generally thought to have over-emphasized the role of coercive power. The resulting reaction in modem jurisprudence against the focus upon coercion reflects a failure to come to grips fully with the underlying methodological issues of descriptive legal theory.
