Walking In Their Shoes: Paying Respect To Incompetent Patients, D. Don Welch

Vanderbilt Law Review

One of the great games that judges play is to act as if their decisions are based on objective standards. For understandable reasons,judges prefer that their decrees be seen as resting on accepted principles of law rather than on a judicial choice between two competing,plausible opinions. One such accepted principle has been that decisions giving consent for medical treatment of incompetent patients should be made to serve the "best interests" of the patients.' In recent years,courts increasingly have used a new, seemingly less objective standard called "substituted judgment" to replace the best interests standard in certain situations. Under this new …

Law, Medicine, And Social Justice, Todd D. Volker

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This review examines the recent book by Larry L. Palmer, Vice President for Academic Programs and Professor of Law at Cornell University. The book itself, an analysis of the interplay between law and medicine in light of contemporary advances in health care, offers a social, "institutional" approach for dealing with the problems presented by recent medical developments. According to Volker, Palmer's work makes great strides toward practical answers to some of the more pressing moral questions of our time.

Copyright Protection For Asic Gate Configurations: Plds, Custom And Semicustom Chips, Glynn S. Lunney Jr

Faculty Scholarship

Conventional wisdom holds that computer software and computer hardware require two different species of intellectual property protection. Software is thought best protected by copyright law, while hardware is thought best protected by patent law, trade secret law or the Semiconductor Chip Protection Act of 1984. Recent technological and legal developments blur software-hardware distinctions, as courts have extended copyright protection to object code, firmware and microcode, and patent protection to software. This note argues that the standard industry conceptions of hardware and software are inadequate to answer the legal question of what is copyrightable as a computer program. Furthermore, it considers …

The Clean Water Act: When Dumping Dead Fish Is Not The Discharge Of A Pollutant—National Wildlife Federation V. Consumers Power Co., 862 F.2d 580 (6th Cir. 1988), Cheri Y. Cornell

Washington Law Review

The Clean Water Act defines "discharge of a pollutant" as "any addition of any pollutant to navigable waters from a point source." This Note examines National Wildlife Federation v. Consumers Power Co., in which the court held that an addition occurs only when a pollutant is introduced into water from the outside world. The Note argues that legislative history and the structure of the Clean Water Act demand an interpretation of "addition" which includes causing a pollutant to appear in water.

The Cognitive Dimension Of The Agon Between Legal Power And Narrative Meaning, Steven L. Winter

Michigan Law Review

In Part II, I first provide a brief description of what we are learning about the grounded and imaginative nature of the cognitive process. I then elaborate the cognitive structure of the concept narrative and consider the manner in which we employ that concept in recognizing, understanding, and constructing narratives of all types - from folktales like the midrash to avant-garde literature like Waiting for Godot. In Part III, I employ this information about the cognitive and narrative processes to explore the secondary role of narrative in the institutionalization of legal and social meaning. I will identify the cognitive …
