A New Look At Actual Minimum Job Requirements And Experience In Similar Occupations And With The Same Employer: Balca's 20 C.F.R. Section 656.21 (B)(6), Lorna Rogers Burgess

San Diego Law Review

In this Article, Ms. Burgess discusses the Board of Alien Labor Certification Appeals (BALCA) which was created by an amendment to 20 C.F.R. § 656.26 and § 656.27. Ms. Burgess asserts that the creation of BALCA has significantly improved the system of adjudication of Applications for Alien Employment Certification. Though BALCA has exerted viable standards, these standards are far from providing analytically sound and practical guidance to practitioners and Certifying Officers. The author suggests that good lawyering in the future may improve BALCA's jurisprudence.

Chip And Medicaid Outreach And Enrollment: A Hands-On Look At Marketing And Applications, Judith D. Moore

National Health Policy Forum

The State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP or CHIP), enacted as part of the Balanced Budget Act (BBA) in 1997, has enrolled eligible low-income children in innovative ways and tackled a variety of challenges to make sure that families know about the new program. This issue brief describes the outreach, application, and enrollment process for both SCHIP and Medicaid, analyzing the difficulty in simplifying applications, and noting problems that states must solve around systems design, immigration issues, and the stigma sometimes associated with government programs.

The Effective Use Of Volunteers: Best Practices For The Public Sector, Jeffrey L. Brudney

Law and Contemporary Problems

Brudney posits a relationship between the best practices and the benefits realized from volunteer involvement. A volunteer program in the public sector is sponsored by a government agency and, thus, occurs in an organizational context; remuneration is not provided for volunteers' contributions, but reimbursement for their expenses is permitted; the time is given freely, yet volunteers may certainly benefit as well, and the work fulfills ongoing responsibilities of the host agency.

Government As God: An Update On Federal Intervention In The Treatment Of Critically Ill Newborns, Dionne L. Koller

All Faculty Scholarship

Whether a severely impaired or critically ill infant should receive lifesaving, and sometimes extraordinary, medical treatment, or be allowed to die, is hotly debated. The issue initially garnered public attention in 1982, when an infant who was born with Down's Syndrome, “Baby Doe,” was allowed to die from a correctable birth defect. Following this, the federal government took a lead role in determining the fate of critically ill newborns. In the meantime, doctors, philosophers, and others have debated whether federal interference in this area is appropriate.

This essay will bring the reader up to date on the “Baby Doe” issue …

A Chicken (Nugget?) In Every Pot: What's At Stake In The Budget Debate, Karl Polzer

National Health Policy Forum

The tax bill, which would provide about $400 billion in tax relief, is also discussed; special attention is given to the health care provisions of this legislation.

Preserving Farmland, Creating Farms, And Feeding Communities: Opportunities To Link Farmland Protection And Community Food Security, Neil D. Hamilton

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This essay was prepared for the Northern Illinois University College of Law's eighth annual symposium on land use entitled Building Cooperation Across Communities. The essay initially identifies three premises, specifically, farmland preservation, the structural changes in farm organization, and the changes in society's relation to food and agriculture. The essay then goes on to consider how the goals and values involved in each of these three areas overlap, and the resulting policy issues and questions that arise from the interplay of these issues.

Managed Care Regulation: Can We Learn From Others? The Chilean Experience, Timothy Stoltzfus Jost

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Because the United States relies on private insurance for financing health care to a much greater degree than do other nations, and because managed care as a form of private insurance is further developed in the United States than elsewhere, it is arguable that we have little to learn from other nations about managed care regulation. This Article tests this hypothesis with respect to Chile, a country where private insurance is widespread and managed care is emerging. It concludes that by studying the experience of other nations we might gain a larger perspective on the context of our concerns in …
