The Regulation Of Green Advertising: The State, The Market And The Environmental Good, David S. Cohen Jan 1991

The Regulation Of Green Advertising: The State, The Market And The Environmental Good, David S. Cohen

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

In this paper I explore this most recent development in regulatory policy and, in particular, the role government plays when it chooses to use private markets (consumer, institutional and corporate) as regulatory instruments to produce and allocate environmental benefits. The privatization of environmental regulation by employing markets to deliver environmental benefits does not involve the implementation of public policy through executive or legislative action. Rather, it is achieved through a public choice to privatize the delivery of environmental regulation by permitting or encouraging decentralized economic power to respond to consumer demands for environmental quality.


Love Makes A Family--Nothing More, Nothing Less: How The Judicial System Has Refused To Protect Nonlegal Parents In Alternative Families, Barbara Cox Jan 1991

Love Makes A Family--Nothing More, Nothing Less: How The Judicial System Has Refused To Protect Nonlegal Parents In Alternative Families, Barbara Cox

Faculty Scholarship

Part I of this article discusses the legal system's recognition of parental rights and enumerates the possible constitutional, statutory, and equitable theories available for protecting the parental rights of nonlegal parents. Part II considers the cases that have rejected the attempts by members of alternative families to use these theories to obtain this protection. Part III discusses the barriers to political power that will make it extremely difficult and time-consuming to achieve legislative change in these areas, and argues that the courts should use the means available to them currently to protect these nonlegal parents and their children while the …

Taking Responsibility For Transboundary Environmental Effects, Sanford E. Gaines Jan 1991

Taking Responsibility For Transboundary Environmental Effects, Sanford E. Gaines

UC Law SF International Law Review

There are recent encouraging examples of cooperation in international environmental affairs. However, nations have made only disappointing progress in developing international law to assign liability among nations for environmental injury. One positive step was taken when the U.N.-sponsored World Commission on Environment and Development appointed an Experts Group on Environmental Law. This Article describes and critiques the report of the Experts Group, taking some guidance from its principles, but finding many conclusions that should be changed. The Article proposes that international law should include expanded strict liability concepts applied to actual damages from environmental injury.


The World Bank's Environmental Assessment Policy, R.J.A. Goodland Jan 1991

The World Bank's Environmental Assessment Policy, R.J.A. Goodland

UC Law SF International Law Review

Environmental assessment (EA) became mandatory in all World Bank-assisted projects in October 1989. The purpose of EA is to ensure that the development options under consideration are environmentally sound and sustainable, and that any environmental consequences are recognized early in the project cycle and taken into account in EA policy. This Article outlines the World Bank's EA policy and the most common type of EA, project-specific EAs. Annexed to this Article is a checklist of potential issues of an EA, a description of the categories of EA, a sample outline of a project-specific EA, and a source list of EA …

UC Law SF International Law Review

This Article also discusses the collateral consequences of oil development which include massive road building and colonization of the rain forest. The author explains the deficiencies in existing environmental regulations in the Oriente, and suggests the need for extensive study of the environmental impact of oil development and the need …


Protection Of Endangered Gorillas And Chimpanzees In International Trade: Can Cites Help, Valerie Karno Jan 1991

Protection Of Endangered Gorillas And Chimpanzees In International Trade: Can Cites Help, Valerie Karno

UC Law SF International Law Review

Anyone who is concerned about animals is inevitably outraged and frustrated by the atrocities committed in the international community by poachers and those who deal in the illegal trade of primates. This Note focuses on the widespread trade in endangered chimpanzees and gorillas, primates who are humans' closest living relatives on the planet. This Note gives explicit examples of the worldwide abuses committed by a host of First and Third World countries, exploring the systems by which Third World poachers export animals to First World agents under a guise of legitimacy. The Note then considers the governing international wildlife law, …


Comparison Of Foresty Laws In The United States And Brazil As They Promote Deforestation In Southeastern Alaska And The Amazon Basin, Julia Levin Jan 1991

Comparison Of Foresty Laws In The United States And Brazil As They Promote Deforestation In Southeastern Alaska And The Amazon Basin, Julia Levin

UC Law SF International Law Review

While the world condemns the destruction of the Amazonian rain forest in Brazil, the United States government allows non-sustainable timber harvesting in the world's largest nontropical rain forest, the Tongass National Forest, in southeastern Alaska. Both United States and Brazilian forest policies developed primarily to create jobs and provide economic stability. The two governments' subsidies and tax incentives have resulted, instead, in powerful private industries and expansive bureaucracies, whose budgets depend in part on continued forest destruction. Although both the United States and Brazil have recently reformed their forest policies, neither country's reforms are broad enough to protect the countries' …

The Developing Countries In The Evolution Of An International Environmental Law, John Ntambirweki Jan 1991

The Developing Countries In The Evolution Of An International Environmental Law, John Ntambirweki

UC Law SF International Law Review

Until the global community began to recognize the damage wrought by uninhibited economic development throughout most of this century, the developing countries of the Third World foresaw and aspired to a similar unimpeded advance toward economic prosperity. Instead, in an effort to establish international economic order and environmental conservation, the developed countries asked the developing countries to join them in championing environmental conservation at the expense of economic development. Despite the fundamental incompatibility between developmental and environmental goals, the developing countries reluctantly joined the environmental cause, hoping to secure a role for themselves as the creators of new international environmental …


The European Community's Regulation And Control Of Waste And The Adoption Of Civil Liability, Patrick E. Thieffry, Peter E. Nahmias Jan 1991

The European Community's Regulation And Control Of Waste And The Adoption Of Civil Liability, Patrick E. Thieffry, Peter E. Nahmias

UC Law SF International Law Review

The European Community has primarily been concerned with economic integration among its member states. However, along with economic integration comes the need for uniform environmental policies. This Article discusses the current regulatory structure of waste management in the European Community and outlines the recently proposed directive calling for strict liability for injury or environmental damages caused by wastes. The proposed directive is intentionally broad in scope, and imposes joint and several civil liability upon the responsible parties. This Article discusses the pros and cons of the proposed directive in terms of the development of centralized and uniform European Community environmental …

This Note discusses the nature, history, and effect of DNA profiling and supports the Pennington court's holding as the correct approach. Although the court adopted the majority view, and most likely the correct view, this area of law still remains in a state of confusion.

Feminist Jurisprudence, Christina B. Whitman Jan 1991

Feminist Jurisprudence, Christina B. Whitman

Book Chapters

In the 1970s feminist legal theory furthered feminist legal practice. Feminist lawyers saw themselves as advocates of ''women's rights," interested in winning legal victories in particular cases. Because their attention was focused on reform through legislation or litigation, the theory they developed was deliberately, if uncritically, grounded in what would be persuasive to those who held power in government institutions. They built directly upon the precedent made in race cases, precedent which assumed that the appropriate goal for social change was equality and defined equality as the similar treatment of similarly situated individuals. The key to the early legal victories …

The Moral Responsibilities Of Universities, Terrance Sandalow Jan 1991

The Moral Responsibilities Of Universities, Terrance Sandalow

Book Chapters

IN THE YEARS SINCE the Second World War, "higher education" has emerged as one of the major influences in American life. Well over 50 percent of the age cohort now in its teens or early twenties will attend a college or university, more than a five-fold increase from the prewar period. Moreover, colleges and universities now engage in so broad a range of activities that the appellation "higher education" no longer seems entirely appropriate to describe the institutions. Community colleges, but also four-year colleges and universities, play a major role in training individuals for skilled and semiskilled occupations. Universities are …
