The Washington Environmental Policy Act, William H. Rodgers, Jr.

Articles

As the Washington State Environmental Policy Act of 1971 (SEPA)'approaches its fourteenth birthday, the time is ripe for an assessment of its recent history and foreseeable future. Several SEPA milestones have come and gone in the last several months, and a period of stability is in order. Reported Washington decisions citing SEPA now number close to one hundred; more than fifty of these are decisions of the Washington Supreme Court.

The books are closed on the two-year efforts of the Washington Commission on Environmental Policy (the SEPA Commission), whose work culminated in a report to the 1983 Legislature. There was …

Biological Monitoring: The Employer's Dilemma, Frances H. Miller

Faculty Scholarship

The industrial workplace contains many potential health hazards that not only can cause great harm to workers, but also can destroy the employers’ economic stability. Often these hazards are documented and dealt with, but frequently they are unknown. When health-conscious employers monitor the physical well-being of their employees in an effort to avoid the terrible personal and economic costs these hazards can produce, they may be supplying their employees with the documentation necessary to recover financially for their industrial illnesses.

This Article analyzes this dilemma confronting employers. It describes the many factors employers must consider when deciding whether to institute …

Amniocentesis, Coercion, And Privacy, Charles E. Rice

Journal Articles

The 1973 abortion decisions of the Supreme Court were based on a right of reproductive privacy which the Court in 1965 had discovered in certain elusive "penumbras formed by emanations from the Bill of Rights." This fictional right of privacy was used by the Court to declare unconstitutional virtually all state restrictions on abortion; according to the Court's rulings, the states have no effective power to prohibit abortion at any stage of pregnancy. Even in the third trimester, the state may not prohibit abortion where it is necessary "in appropriate medical judgment for the preservation of the life or health …

Federal Supervision Of State Water Quality Standards Under The Clean Water Act, Jeffrey M. Gaba

Vanderbilt Law Review

Renewed interest in an expanded role for water quality standards in the regulatory scheme has developed recently. This inter-est is due in part to the perception that the use of water quality standards is a particularly "cost-effective" approach to pollution control. At least in theory, water quality standards are set no higher than necessary to achieve the desired environmental goal.Further, as more and more industrial facilities achieve compliance with technology based requirements, attention has begun to focus on additional techniques including water quality standards, for imposing more stringent limitations." Finally, since states set water quality standards a regulatory scheme centered …

The Acquisition Of National Parkland: A Challenge For The Future, Rosemary E. Nation

Dalhousie Law Journal

Since the inception of a national park system in Canada, land acquisition for national parks has been sporadic and is now at a virtual standstill. In 1930, when legislation was introduced to designate national parks and govern their use, fourteen parks areas had been established.' Four parks were set up between 1930 and 1968, and seven parks and three national park reserves were established between 1968 and 1982. With the exception of the establishment of Grasslands National Park in Saskatchewan in 1982, there has been no further expansion to date. Thus, there are currently twenty-six national parks and three national …

Home Rule For Women: Power-Sharing Between Men And Women, Christine Boyle

Dalhousie Law Journal

This paper is about the Canadian electoral system and the need for reform of its constituent units. Canadian politics have been remarkable for the comparative lack of interest that has been displayed in this aspect of the system, an aspect that is of great importance in any democratic society. In 1949, a speaker at the annual meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association in Halifax summed up the situation as follows: The basic units of representation . . . the constituencies, are thus conceived in the darkness of a legislative committee, and born to blush unseen on an electoral map …

Directing The Development Of A University Centre Of Criminology, John Li. J. Edwards

Dalhousie Law Journal

The original sod out of which the University of Toronto's Centre of Criminology grew was a proposal that I drew up while teaching a course in criminology as part of the LL.B. curriculum in the Faculty of Law at Dalhousie University in 1958-59.1 The proposal reviewed the extent of criminological teaching and research in Canada, and drew particular attention to the lack of implementation of the recommendations of the Fauteux Committee - a committee established in 1956 by the Canadian federal government to study the country's penal system and to make recommendations for change and improvement. 2 In its report, …
