Lujan V. Defenders Of Wildlife: The Court Maintains Its Proper Role In Environmental Issues, Donald W. Hansford

Mercer Law Review

In Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife the United States Supreme Court reversed the Eighth Circuit and denied standing to respondent environmental groups challenging a joint regulation interpreting section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act.

Respondent environmental groups filed suit challenging the Secretary of Interior's interpretation of section 7(a)(2). Respondents sought a declaratory judgment that the joint regulation, promulgated by the Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service on behalf of the Secretary of Interior and the Secretary of Commerce respectively, not applying section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act to actions involving United States funding in foreign …

Statistical Proof Of Discrimination: Beyond "Damned Lies", Kingsley R. Browne

Washington Law Review

Evidence that an employer's work force contains fewer minorities or women than would be expected if selection were random with respect to race and sex has been taken as powerful—and often sufficient—evidence of systematic intentional discrimination. In relying on this kind of statistical evidence, courts have made two fundamental errors. The first error is assuming that statistical analysis can reveal the probability that observed work-force disparities were produced by chance. This error leads courts to exclude chance as a cause when such a conclusion is unwarranted. The second error is assuming that, except for random deviations, the work force of …

Wetlands Preservation In The United States: A Case Of Fragmented Authority, Lettie Mcspadden Wenner

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This article addresses the problems which have been associated with environmental regulation in the context of wetlands preservation. The article begins by reviewing how wetlands protection evolved from the early seventies. The article concentrates on the Clean Water Act Amendments of 1977, especially the nationwide permit system. The article provides a comprehensive discussion of the permitting process. The article concludes that there are many changes that need to be made, especially bringing all actors involved in wetlands regulation together to attempt to remedy the problems inherent in a fragmented regulatory system.

Reforming Welfare Through Social Security, Stephen D. Sugarman

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

In this Article, I first want to illustrate the connection between Social Security and AFDC-to explain the Social Security program and to demonstrate how it contributes to the welfare problem. More importantly, I then want to offer a reform proposal that builds on Social Security as a way to begin to eliminate AFDC and the current welfare problem. Simply put, I propose that Social Security should provide benefits to children with absent parents on the same basic terms on which it now provides benefits to children with deceased, disabled, or retired parents.

Foreword: The Many Contexts Of Welfare Reform, Jeffrey S. Lehman

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

To nourish the ongoing debate, the editors of the University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform have drawn together contributions from four law professors who have substantial expertise concerning the American welfare state. All of the Articles that compose this Symposium are animated by a desire to broaden our frame of reference for evaluating welfare reform. I believe that their shared project is important. Efforts to change AFDC will send ripples through the multiple legal structures that buoy our public systems of income support and wealth redistribution.

A Selective Bibliography On The Endangered Species Act, Kristin Cheney

Faculty Articles

Since its passage in 1973, the Endangered Species Act (ESA) has been the subject of much discussion and numerous publications. This bibliography is not an exhaustive treatment of the topic, but rather concentrates on monographs published from 1980 forward and includes only post-1988 journal articles. To aid the reader in locating relevant references, the journal articles are organized into the subcategories of (1) law and regulations, (2) litigation, and (3) international and extraterritorial.

Whose Genes Are These Anyway?: Familial Conflicts Over Access To Genetic Information, Sonia M. Suter

Michigan Law Review

This Note argues first that courts and legislatures should follow a presumption against mandating disclosure of a person's genetic information to third parties. Second, genetic testing for the benefit of a third party should not, and constitutionally cannot, be compelled. Part I presents an overview of genetics and discusses the special legal and ethical issues genetic testing poses. Part II examines the issue of nonconsensual disclosure to family members, who could potentially use the information from tests that have already been performed. This Part concludes that there should be a presumption against disclosure. Part III examines a related, but different, …
