Impacts Of The Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning And Conservation Act On The Development Of Energy Resources In The Pacific Northwest: An Analysis Of The Resource Acquisition Priority Scheme, Preston Michie

Seattle University Law Review

This article discusses how the Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act may affect the region's choice of resources to construct. Potential choices range from conventional resources such as coal and nuclear to renewable resources such as geothermal, biomass, wave, tidal, solar, and wind. In addition, conservation and cogeneration are now viable energy alternatives. This discussion focuses on PNEPPCA's resource acquisition priority scheme and provides an overview of the incentives and disincentives which may influence the resource selection process. Rather than predicting which resources the region's utilities may ultimately construct, this article analyzes the legal barriers proponents of particular …

The Public Broadcasting Act: The Licensee Editorializing Ban And The First Amendment, John C. Grabow

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This article contends that the public is deprived of an important source of information on public affairs issues as a result of the section 399(a) prohibition on editorializing. After an examination of the legislative history of Section 399(a), and the heritage of broadcast regulation in the United States, the article concludes that the prohibition on editorializing is an improper restriction on free expression in violation of the First Amendment.

The Federal Strip Mining Act: Environmental Protection Comes To The Coalfields Of Virginia, Edward Shawn Grandis

University of Richmond Law Review

Strip mining, for those of us who are touched by it, either as residents of areas affected by the mining or as professionals or bureaucrats concerned with the legal or technical issues involved, conjours up vivid images of land devastation, offsite property damage and high profits with little risk involved for the operator.

Legislative Notes: The Economic Impact Disclosure Act, William F. Flynn

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

While the traditional concern with agency discretion is that agency decision-making will be biased in favor of the regulated industries, agencies are also criticized for failing to investigate the impact of their policies on the regulated client and the resulting cost to consumers. This failure prevents the agency from responding adequately to the legitimate interests of either the business community or consumers. This note examines a recently developed procedure designed to improve the agency decisionmaking process by requiring economic prediction of the effect which agency activities will have prior to agency action.

In particular, this note examines three issues. Part …

Objectivity And Habeas Corpus: Should Federal District Court Judges Be Permitted To Rule Upon The Validity Of Their Own Criminal Trial Conduct?, Marilyn L. Kelley

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

It has already been suggested that one of the main purposes of section 2255 was to provide a convenient forum in which the trial judge might testify, if necessary. That purpose is, obviously, contrary to the interpretation rendered in Carvell.

Beyond this inconsistency, Carvell suggests two significant issues: first, that it is highly desirable that the motions be passed upon by the judge who is familiar with the facts; and second, that the criminal trial judge is not likely to be misled by allegations in the 2255 petition as to what had occurred. The first issue raises the question …

No-Fault Auto Reparation In Florida: An Empirical Examination Of Some Of Its Effects, Joseph W. Little

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This article discusses certain aspects of reparations systems that can be described by statistical parameters, but it does not attempt to evaluate whether or not pervasive sociological changes may result from legal modifications of the concept of fault. It may be that any erosion of fault as a legal concept will result in a decline in individual responsibility. The fact that some members of the bar and some members of the medical profession allegedly regularly engage in conspiracies to defeat the $1,000 medical expense threshold of the Florida statute could be cited as evidence of such deterioration. Nevertheless, this writer …
