The Neurophysiology Of Adr And Process Design: A New Approach To Conflict Prevention And Resolution?, Jeremy Lack, François Bogacz Jan 2012

The Neurophysiology Of Adr And Process Design: A New Approach To Conflict Prevention And Resolution?, Jeremy Lack, François Bogacz

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

Neurobiology seems to be popping up everywhere. It is being taught in leadership conferences, sales and marketing seminars, management meetings, business schools, and increasingly in law schools and bar associations. The cover of the American Bar Association's Summer 2011 Dispute Resolution Magazine was dedicated to the topic of "Neuroscience and Negotiation." In it, Professor Richard Birke observes that "Neuroscience is everywhere." Is it a new fad or a fundamental awakening, providing new insights for the legal profession?

Hot, Crowded, And Legal: A Look At Industrial Agriculture In The United States And Brazil, David N. Cassuto Jan 2012

Hot, Crowded, And Legal: A Look At Industrial Agriculture In The United States And Brazil, David N. Cassuto

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

Over the last sixty years, industrial agriculture has expanded in the United States and throughout the world, including in Brazil. Any benefit this expansion has brought comes at significant environmental and social costs. Industrial agriculture is a leading contributor to global climate change, air and water pollution, deforestation, and dangers in the workplace. This Article discusses the impact of industrial animal agriculture in the U.S. and Brazil. It also examines the laws pertaining to industrial agriculture in both countries and provides a comparative analysis of the two legal regimes. Finally, this Article concludes with the observation that although the price …

The International Labour Organization And International Labor Standards, Roger Blanpain, Susan Bisom-Rapp, William R. Corbett, Hilary K. Josephs, Michael J. Zimmer

Faculty Scholarship

With the forces of globalization as a backdrop, this casebook develops labor and employment law in the context of the national laws of nine countries important to the global economy - the US, Canada, Mexico, UK, Germany, France, China, Japan and India. These national jurisdictions are highlighted by considering international labor standards promulgated by the International Labor Organization as well as the rulings and standards that emerge from two very different regional trade arrangements - the labor side accord to NAFTA and the European Union. Across all these different sources of law, this book considers the law of individual employment, …


Judging Parents, Judging Place: Poverty, Rurality, And Termination Of Parental Rights, Janet L. Wallace, Lisa R. Pruitt Jan 2012

Judging Parents, Judging Place: Poverty, Rurality, And Termination Of Parental Rights, Janet L. Wallace, Lisa R. Pruitt

Missouri Law Review

Parents are judged constantly, by fellow parents and by wider society. But the consequences of judging parents may extend beyond community reputation and social status. One of the harshest potential consequences is the state's termination of parental rights. In such legal contexts, the state assesses parents' merits as parents in relation to a wide array of their characteristics, decisions and actions, including where the parents live. Among those parents judged harshly in relation to geography are impoverished parents who live in rural places. We argue that such judgments are unjust because poor rural parents often do not have ready access …

Lifting The Veil On Rigorous Rational Basis Scrutiny, Miranda Oshige Mcgowan Jan 2012

Lifting The Veil On Rigorous Rational Basis Scrutiny, Miranda Oshige Mcgowan

Marquette Law Review

In many different cases, the Supreme Court and lower courts have used a rigorous form of rational basis scrutiny very different from the ordinary, deferential rational basis scrutiny taught in constitutional law courses. When invoked, this more rigorous form of rational basis scrutiny has proven fatal to statutes and regulations. Many scholars and courts have described how courts apply it and have defended particular cases in which it has been used. No one, however, has explained just why and when courts will or ought to apply it. This gap is troublesome and pressing. Rigorous rational basis scrutiny is an important …


Life After Act 10?: Is There A Future For Collective Representation Of Wisconsin Public Employees?, Martin H. Malin Jan 2012

Life After Act 10?: Is There A Future For Collective Representation Of Wisconsin Public Employees?, Martin H. Malin

Marquette Law Review

In 2011, Wisconsin largely gutted the collective bargaining rights of most public employees in the state. Wisconsin Act 10 largely replaced collective employee voice with unilateral employer control over employees’ wages, hours, and terms and conditions of employment. This article addresses the future of collective employee representation in Wisconsin in the wake of Act 10. It urges employers to continue to engage with their employees through the employees’ unions, demonstrating why such an approach better provides for the public interest than unilateral employer control. It looks to examples from other jurisdictions and presents a range of alternatives for Wisconsin public …

The Drugs Stop Here: A Public Health Framework To Address The Drug Shortage Crisis, Sharona Hoffman Jan 2012

The Drugs Stop Here: A Public Health Framework To Address The Drug Shortage Crisis, Sharona Hoffman

Faculty Publications

Drug shortages are emerging as a major public health threat. Grave concern has been expressed by the medical community and government officials, and the crisis has been highlighted in recent media stories. Nevertheless, little has been written to date in the legal literature about the drug shortage crisis, and this timely article begins to fill this gap. It provides a thorough analysis of the origins and implications of the drug shortage problem and formulates a multi-layered approach to addressing it. The article argues that drug shortages result from a combination of market failures and regulatory constraints. It proposes a blend …
