Investigational Drugs And The Law, George F. Archambault

Cleveland State Law Review

Moving directly to the subject "Investigational Drugs and the Law" and being concerned primarily with preventative law, a topic not unlike preventative medicine, what is it that must be known as a lawyer in this specialty field in order to aid physicians and pharmacists involved in clinical research, in clinical pharmacology research, in hospital administration, and in nursing and pharmacy practices to keep them from legal pitfalls? It is necessary to tackle the subject in a two-pronged manner: (1) the federal and state statutes, and (2) case law.

Note, Medical And Dental X-Rays--A Time For Re-Evaluation And State Action, James H. Seckinger

Journal Articles

In 1956, the National Academy of Sciences in a report on "The Biological Effects of Atomic Radiation" warned the public of the serious consequences that may flow from any type of radiation exposure. The report set forth the relationship between low-level exposure, that type of exposure which is present in the medical and dental use of X-rays, and long-range biological effects. Because of the possibility of such long-range effects, the Academy recommended that the medical authorities take prompt action to eliminate all unnecessary radiation in the use of X-rays.

Despite the strong language used by the Academy, and the lapse …

Reason And Passion: The Constitutional Dialectic Of Free Speech And Obscenity, John M. Finnis

Journal Articles

In recent obscenity cases, the Supreme Court has been attempting to define the constitutional meaning of "speech." This is not as banal a statement as it may seem, for there are critics, both on and off the Court, who think that the Court's task is to define "freedom."

Some advocate boundless freedom in this area. For them, obscenity raises no special problems of definition, and is simply an exercise of speech or press presenting dangers which are remote and disputable, rather than clear and present. From this point of view, the only relevant distinction is that between "speech" and "conduct." …

The Japan-United States Salmon Conflict, Ralph W. Johnson

Articles

This article will briefly describe the events that followed the signing of the International Convention for High Seas Fisheries of the North Atlantic Ocean (the Tripartite Treaty) and the recent negotiations attempting to replace or modify that treaty. After describing the current state of negotiations between Japan and the United States, the article will then examine several key issues that form the focal points of the disagreement.

Was Japan coerced into signing the Tripartite Treaty in 1952? What is the meaning of the Protocol and the abstention line at longitude 1750 W.? What is the standing of the abstention principle …

Abortion, The Law And Human Life, Thomas L. Shaffer

Journal Articles

The issue in abortion "reform" is whether existing criminal sanctions against doctors and pregnant women should be abolished or liberalized. From one point of view this is the question presented in any discussion of the criminal law—whether people should be put in jail for doing something. From another viewpoint, it is the question presented in any discussion of existing law—whether the reformers, who presumably have the burden of proof, have made a case. The controversy will be especially interesting to Indiana lawyers, who last winter saw an abortion-reform proposal pass both houses of the General Assembly and then die (abort?) …

Book Reviews, Henry N. Wieman, Jerome Hall

Vanderbilt Law Review

The problem discussed by Professor Stumpf in his book Morality and the Law can be summarized by these questions: Do we have two kinds of prescribed conduct, one prescribed by morality independent of the government, the other prescribed by government independent of morality? Or is prescription by government necessarily moral because government is necessarily moral by reason of being the government? If not, under what conditions, if any, does prescription by government become a moral prescription? Under what conditions, if any, is government, by law, a matter of expedience, not to be confused with morality?

Where Does The Beach Begin, And To What Extent Is This A Federal Question?, Charles E. Corker

Washington Law Review

In Hughes v. State, the Washington Supreme Court decided that the boundary between upland and tideland is the vegetation line as it existed in 1889. Its decision conflicts with an earlier decision of the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit which followed the United States Supreme Court's decision in City of Los Angeles v. Borax Consol., Ltd. The decisions conflict both on criteria for locating the boundary and on its fixed or movable character. Underlying both questions are fundamental issues about the extent to which state or federal law provides the answers. After extensive analysis of these answers, Professor …

Workmen's Compensation For Radiation Injuries In Tennessee, E. Blythe Stason

Vanderbilt Law Review

We lay to one side, so far as this article is concerned, the impact of the atom on general tort liability in Tennessee. Such important aspects of the total subject as strict liability, nuisance actions, third-party liability, and joint and several liability we reserve for another occasion. Hopefully radiation will be so well regulated that the injuries to outsiders will be few and far between. We also lay to one side possible injuries in Tennessee resulting from the extensive operations of the federal government in the nuclear field. Such injuries receive special handling either by federal agencies (e.g.,the Bureau of …

Minimum Age Difference As A Requisite For Adoption, Walter J. Wadlington Iii

Duke Law Journal

Recent incidents of abortive uses of adoption statutes have pointed up the possible need for a healthy change in our adoption laws: the inclusion of a required age difference between adopter and adoptee. The author urges that such a statutory requirement is necessary to more fully effectuate the idea that "adoption imitates nature," a postulate of adoption law originating in Roman jurisprudence and, so the author contends, underlying adoption law in this country. The article raises interesting questions concerning the very nature of adoption, the function which it serves in our society, and the possible policy differences between minor and …

The Maritime Boundaries Of The States, Avrum M. Gross

Michigan Law Review

It has long been recognized that the boundaries of coastal states encompass certain adjoining maritime areas. The settled existence of those boundaries, however, stands in marked contrast to the confusion which has surrounded their location. The geographic extent of the waters to which state jurisdiction extends has remained largely undetermined.

The recent development of refined methods for extracting minerals from offshore areas has translated questions of state jurisdiction into issues of substantial economic significance. In this regard, an increasing number of disputes have arisen between the states and the federal government, primarily over rights to offshore oil deposits. The …
