The Health Care Proxy And The Narrative Of Death, Steven I. Friedland Jan 1995

The Health Care Proxy And The Narrative Of Death, Steven I. Friedland

Journal of Law and Health

This article is divided into three sections. After this introduction, section II features a brief history of the narrative of death, explores the role of heroism in the death narrative, described the "miracles" of modern medicine, and analyzes some of the resulting adverse transformations wrought by the advances. The transformations include the unrealistic expectations of longevity and obsession with youthfulness, the removal of death from the personal realm, and the change in the nature of death. Section III examines the legal apparatus erected to meet the issues created by the medical advances, including the redefinition of death, and Constitutional, common …


U.S. Government Control Over The Export Of Scientific Research And Other Technical Data: Holes In The Sieve, Robert Greenspoon Jan 1995

U.S. Government Control Over The Export Of Scientific Research And Other Technical Data: Holes In The Sieve, Robert Greenspoon

Michigan Journal of International Law

In Part I, I establish the backdrop for answering the question by describing the kinds of scientific data that might be subject to security classification and export licensing. In Part II, I outline briefly who chooses what should be restricted and who enforces these restrictions. In Part III, I describe several situations in which the federal government has vigorously enforced controls over the dissemination of scientific information. I also analyze two recent cases involving computer software that I believe analogize directly to the scientific endeavor. Finally, in Part IV, I explain why First Amendment barriers, the growth of the Internet …

Policy In Wake Of The Incident, Gerald Mccarthy, W. Tayloe Murphy, Gerald Winegrad, Joel B. Eisen Jan 1995

Policy In Wake Of The Incident, Gerald Mccarthy, W. Tayloe Murphy, Gerald Winegrad, Joel B. Eisen

University of Richmond Law Review

The goal of this panel was to examine the policies formed in the wake of the Kepone incident: the environmental laws, the regulations and policies that are designed to safeguard our natural resources to ensure that incidents such as the Kepone incident do not reoccur and if they do, to hold those responsible for environmental damage accountable for their actions.


Deception, Self-Deception, And Myth: Evaluating Long-Term Environmental Settlements, William H. Rodgers Jr. Jan 1995

Deception, Self-Deception, And Myth: Evaluating Long-Term Environmental Settlements, William H. Rodgers Jr.

University of Richmond Law Review

This paper draws upon six famous settlements that are known in various degrees to students of environmental law. Three are a matter of deep history: the 1970 Environmental Defense Fund settlement that led the last manufacturer of DDT in the U.S. to cease discharges into the Los Angeles sewer system and thence into Santa Monica Bay, the Kepone settlement of the mid-70s that followed in the wake of Judge Merhige's initial assessment of a record-breaking criminal fine of $13.24 million, and the Hudson River settlement of the early 1980s in which environmentalists gave up demands for cooling towers on several …


Federal Minimums: Insufficient To Save The Bay, Roy A. Hoagland, Jean G. Watts Jan 1995

Federal Minimums: Insufficient To Save The Bay, Roy A. Hoagland, Jean G. Watts

University of Richmond Law Review

In this era of deregulation, streamlining, and government reform, the voices of state government often ring out the philosophy of "no stricter than federal law" when discussing environmental initiatives. The argument that federal minimums can serve as a minimalistic, one-size-fits-all framework for environmental protection not only contradicts the same voices' arguments for flexibility and site-specific solutions, but also ignores the reality that federal minimums alone simply cannot and will not restore our waters, conserve our land, or protect our air.

From Kepone To Exxon Valdez Oil And Beyond: An Overview Of Natural Resource Damage Assessment, Danielle Marie Stager Jan 1995

From Kepone To Exxon Valdez Oil And Beyond: An Overview Of Natural Resource Damage Assessment, Danielle Marie Stager

University of Richmond Law Review

In July 1975, officials from the Virginia State Department of Health learned that employees of the Life Science Product Company ("Life Science"), in Hopewell, Virginia, had been poisoned by a toxic chemical known as Kepone. Life Science had produced Kepone under contract for Allied Chemical Corporation ("Allied Chemical"), the original developer and manufacturer. Shortly thereafter, state officials discovered that both Life Science and Allied Chemical had unlawfully discharged Kepone into freshwater tributaries of the James River. In addition to poisoning their own employees, Life Science and Allied Chemical had also contaminated Virginia's atmosphere, soil, and wa- terways with Kepone.

The Regulation Of Hazardous Substances In Mexican Law, Carl E. Koller Lucio Jan 1995

The Regulation Of Hazardous Substances In Mexican Law, Carl E. Koller Lucio

Duke Environmental Law & Policy Forum

Introduction Unlike U.S. environmental legislation, which governs different environmental media and was instituted through various congressional Acts, 1 the current Mexican environmental legislation, implemented in 1988, covers the principal environmental media in one law. 2 This one law contains most of the implementation and enforcement mechanisms including the regulation of hazardous substances. There has been much debate and concern on both sides of the United States-Mexican border regarding Mexico's ability to strictly enforce its hazardous substance regulations. Furthermore, the North American Free Trade Agreement, which established an international Commission on Environmental Quality, will influence future use of trade laws to …


Political And Social Construction Of Families Through Pedagogy In Family Law Classrooms, Lundy Langston Jan 1995

Political And Social Construction Of Families Through Pedagogy In Family Law Classrooms, Lundy Langston

Journal Publications

Most family law materials available today fail to reflect the diversity' of family arrangements in modem society. Traditionally, family law is taught as a rules-based area of law. Students learn the requirements of marriage and the grounds for and consequences of divorce. Currently, there are efforts to expand the codification of family law through such things as support guidelines, uniform acts, and legislation listing specific factors to be considered in custody and property distribution cases. Many of these efforts stem from the underlying assumption that there is a uniform methodology describing and defining doctrine appropriate for resolution of family related …

Professionalism Paradigm Shift: Why Discarding Professional Ideology Will Improve The Conduct And Reputation Of The Bar, The, Russell G. Pearce Jan 1995

Professionalism Paradigm Shift: Why Discarding Professional Ideology Will Improve The Conduct And Reputation Of The Bar, The, Russell G. Pearce

Faculty Scholarship

The Article explains how the Professionalism Paradigm distinguishes between self-interested businesspersons and altruistic professionals who place the public good above their own interests and those of their clients. The legal profession has used this Business-Profession dichotomy to obtain control of the delivery legal services, including a legislative monopoly on the practice of law. Today, the Professionalism Paradigm faces a crisis as leading lawyers, judges, and scholars complain that law has become a business and is no longer a profession. The Article “identifies this shift as a time for hope rather than as a cause for despair. Applying Thomas S. Kuhn's …

The Inter-American Convention On The Law Applicable To International Contracts: Another Piece Of The Puzzle Of The Law Applicable To International Contracts, Susie A. Malloy

Fordham International Law Journal

This Note argues that the United States should not adopt the ICLAIC in its present form because doing so will compromise the existing U.S. framework for U.S. contract law. Part I discusses the current legal framework of contracts for the sale of goods in the United States, including: the major provisions of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Part II discusses the three principal objectives of the ICLAIC by analyzing its Preamble and illustrating the provisions intended to accomplish these goals. Part III recognizes the theoretical …


The Law Of The Non-Navigational Uses Of International Watercourses: Dilemma For Lower Riparians, Reaz Rahman Jan 1995

The Law Of The Non-Navigational Uses Of International Watercourses: Dilemma For Lower Riparians, Reaz Rahman

Fordham International Law Journal

Today, three factors relating to fresh water sources are universally recognized: first, fresh water is a finite and shrinking resource, essential to sustain life, development, and the environment; second, the effective development and management of fresh water resources requires the participation and cooperation of all users, planners, and policy makers; and third, fresh water has an economic value in all its compelling uses and should, therefore, be recognized as an economic good. More than two decades ago, recognizing that many nations share international watercourses, members of the international community felt that an agreement was needed to codify the rules regulating …
