Legal And Political Considerations Of The United States' Ratification Of The Genocide Convention, Jay Rosenthal Mar 1985

Legal And Political Considerations Of The United States' Ratification Of The Genocide Convention, Jay Rosenthal

Antioch Law Journal

On December 11, 1948, the United States officially signed the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (hereinafter the Convention).1 The Convention was sent to the Senate as part of the ratification process for the advice and consent of two-thirds of the Senators present and voting. 2 But the Senate declined to give advice and consent to the Convention, and has maintained that position for over thirty-six years. Ninety-six countries have now deposited their instruments of ratification with the United Nations, making them parties to the Convention. The United States is not a party. …


Equal Protection For Illegitimate Children: The Supreme Court's Standard For Discrimination, Martha T. Zingo Mar 1985

Equal Protection For Illegitimate Children: The Supreme Court's Standard For Discrimination, Martha T. Zingo

Antioch Law Journal

Between 1968 and 1980 the Supreme Court decided twenty cases' involving statutory classifications based on illegitimacy. The Court's decisions have determined whether discrimination against those individuals deemed illegitimate by law2 constitutes a denial of equal protection. When these decisions are analyzed it seems apparent that the Court was experiencing some difficulty in determining the appropriate constitutional test to apply to illegitimacy statutes. It is not surprising that the Court's various rulings appear inconsistent. The purpose of this article is to examine the Supreme Court's inconsistent decisions in its equal protection analysis of laws affecting illegitimate children. To accomplish this goal, …


Confronting Uncertainty In Child Abuse Adjudication: A Contextual Analysis Of Theories Of The Judical Role In A Changing Society, Lawrence W. Cohen Mar 1985

Confronting Uncertainty In Child Abuse Adjudication: A Contextual Analysis Of Theories Of The Judical Role In A Changing Society, Lawrence W. Cohen

Antioch Law Journal

Throughout history scholars have attempted to defend myriad conceptions of the judicial role. For instance, Corwin believed that law, embodied in nature, was to be discovered by judges.1 Cardozo also envisioned an active judiciary, responsible for keeping law consistent with the mores of the day.2 Wigmore, on the other hand, felt that personalizing justice through judicial discretion is the "antithesis of the Anglo-Saxon conception of justice."' 3 Rather, justice, if attainable at all, must be achieved through strict rule application. 4 Whereas 19th-century scholarship focused on formal rules, recent authorities have turned to contemplating how legal decisions are made and …

Tax Policy For Post-Liberal Society: A Flat-Tax-Inspired Redefinition Of The Purpose And Ideal Structure Of A Progressive Income Tax, Charles R.T. O'Kelley Mar 1985

Tax Policy For Post-Liberal Society: A Flat-Tax-Inspired Redefinition Of The Purpose And Ideal Structure Of A Progressive Income Tax, Charles R.T. O'Kelley

Scholarly Works

A flat rate comprehensive federal income tax could be achieved by replacing graduated rates with a single rate that applies to all taxpayers, eliminating many currently available deductions and credits, and treating as taxable income types of economic gain presently excluded from the tax base. The fact that Congress is seriously considering such radical changes makes it appropriate for tax scholars to reconsider longheld beliefs about the ideal structure of an income tax. This Article analyzes the characteristics and underlying rationale of a progressive flat rate comprehensive income tax and reconsiders the nature and purpose of a progressive income tax. …

Uncertainty In Law And Its Negation: Reflections, Gordon A. Christenson Jan 1985

Uncertainty In Law And Its Negation: Reflections, Gordon A. Christenson

Faculty Articles and Other Publications

For this issue of the Review, the editors invited me to reflection. In response, I wish to consider some aspects of a problem that has bothered me over the past quarter-century. This problem arises from radical subjectivism and its effect on the legal order. I believe that something is radically subjective in law when one norm is considered as valid as any other, or when one perception of facts is thought as valid as any other, for the reason that any objective principles for determining validity are either inadequate or considered meaningless tautologies, masking the subjective preference of those with …


Whither Jurisprudence?, Anthony D'Amato Jan 1985

Whither Jurisprudence?, Anthony D'Amato

Faculty Working Papers

After considering the side road of critical legal studies, I shall try to indicate the major signposts to a more complete jurisprudence. These signposts take the form of questions or anomalies in our present understanding of law. I will conclude that only by following these signposts, by exploring these questions and anomalies, will we begin to uncover the nature of law and justice.


U.S./Japanese Fishery Relations: Reflections On The Past And The Unsettled Future, Matthew Axel Jan 1985

U.S./Japanese Fishery Relations: Reflections On The Past And The Unsettled Future, Matthew Axel

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

U.S.-Japan fisheries history spans over a half-century of controversy. A variety of developments have taken place over this period from past to present illustrating this point. This paper will present this subject in three parts, corresponding to the historical developments that have taken place. The saga begins with U.S. post-World War II aid in rebuilding the Japanese tuna, whaling and salmon fleets. Round two examines the rapid expansion of the Japanese utilization of Alaska pollock and the development of the surimi trawlers in the early 1960s. Finally, round three, which will encompass the majority of the subject matter discussed, begins …


Interstate Fisheries Management Problems: The Case Of Striped Bass, Richard Randall Schneider Jan 1985

Interstate Fisheries Management Problems: The Case Of Striped Bass, Richard Randall Schneider

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

The striped bass (Morone saxatilis), or rockfish, fishery has been important both commercially and recreationally for decades along the Atlantic seaboard. In recent years, though, the fishery has undergone a serious decline and, as a result, has elicited considerable public concern. Although specific reasons for the decline have not been pinpointed, it is clear that inconsistent management practices within the range of striped bass have done little to help the fishery's condition. An anadromous species, striped bass spawn in the fresh water reaches of estuaries, after which many of the individuals return to the coastal ocean. In the Atlantic, the …

Deliberate Environmental Releases Of Genetically Modified Organisms: A Comparative Analysis Of British And United States Regulations, Michael V. Fancher Jan 1985

Deliberate Environmental Releases Of Genetically Modified Organisms: A Comparative Analysis Of British And United States Regulations, Michael V. Fancher

UC Law SF International Law Review

Today genetically engineered products are being designed for uses outside the contained environment of the laboratory. Because of fears over the possible consequences of releasing new organisms into the environment, both the United States and Great Britain are taking steps to try to ensure that such releases will be safe. This Note examines the regulatory schemes of those two countries and concludes that additional changes must still be made if comprehensive oversight of the field is to be achieved.
