Fine-Labor: The Symbiosis Between Monetary And Work Sanctions, Martin H. Pritikin Jan 2010

Fine-Labor: The Symbiosis Between Monetary And Work Sanctions, Martin H. Pritikin

University of Colorado Law Review

Monetary sanctions (fines and restitution) and work sanctions are theoretically superior to incarceration: they can deliver deterrence more cheaply, benefit victims tangibly, and promote offender rehabilitation. Yet incarceration remains the dominant punishment in America, even where incapacitation concerns are secondary. This is due in large part to practical drawbacks to the alternatives: monetary sanctions are difficult to enforce and do not seem punitive enough, and unions have successfully lobbied against the competitive threat of convict labor. In a hybrid "fine-labor" system, in which offenders are made to work to pay fines and restitution, the work component could remedy the flaws …


Climate Change Under Nepa: Avoiding Cursory Consideration Of Greenhouse Gases, Amy L. Stein Jan 2010

Climate Change Under Nepa: Avoiding Cursory Consideration Of Greenhouse Gases, Amy L. Stein

University of Colorado Law Review

Neither the National Environmental Policy Act ("NEPA') nor its implementing regulations require consideration of climate change in NEPA documentation. Yet an evergrowing body of NEPA case law related to climate change is making it increasingly difficult for a federal agency to avoid discussing the impacts of those emissions under NEPA in its Environmental Impact Statements ("EISs'). Although consideration of climate change in NEPA documents sounds right in theory, within the current legal framework, the NEPA documents provide only lip service to the goals of NEPA without any meaningful consideration of climate change. An empirical evaluation of two years of selected …


Courts' Struggle With Infertility: The Impact Of Hall V. Nalco On Infertility-Related Employment Discrimination, Kerry Van Der Burch Jan 2010

Courts' Struggle With Infertility: The Impact Of Hall V. Nalco On Infertility-Related Employment Discrimination, Kerry Van Der Burch

University of Colorado Law Review

This Note focuses on a recent Seventh Circuit case of first impression, Hall v. Nalco, which held that Title VII prohibits an employer from firing an employee for absenteeism related to infertility treatments. Because Hall is the first circuit court decision to rule that fertility-treatment discrimination can be a form of sex discrimination under Title VII, it represents a victory for infertile employees suffering from workplace discrimination. Yet Hall tells a tale of missed opportunities. This Note highlights how both the Seventh Circuit and the plaintiff, Cheryl Hall, missed opportunities to expand legal protection for employees undergoing infertility treatments. First, …


Siting Transmission Lines In A Changed Milieu: Evolving Notions Of The "Public Interest" In Balancing State And Regional Considerations, Ashley C. Brown, Jim Rossi Jan 2010

Siting Transmission Lines In A Changed Milieu: Evolving Notions Of The "Public Interest" In Balancing State And Regional Considerations, Ashley C. Brown, Jim Rossi

University of Colorado Law Review

This Article discusses how state public utility law presents a barrier to the siting of new high-voltage transmission lines to serve renewable resources, and how states can approach the law's evolution in order to preserve a role for state regulators in a new energy economy in which renewable energy will play a significant role. The traditional approach to determining the "public interest" in siting transmission lines is well on its way to obsolescence. Two developments over the past fifteen years have begun to challenge this paradigm. First, policies at the federal level and in many states have encouraged increased competition …


In Theory, In Practice: Judging State Jurisdiction In Indian Country, Carole Goldberg Jan 2010

In Theory, In Practice: Judging State Jurisdiction In Indian Country, Carole Goldberg

University of Colorado Law Review

International relations theory suggests some new ways of thinking about the conflict between states and tribes over jurisdiction in Indian country. Realists portray the struggle as a clash of self-interested political actors, with the most powerful prevailing. Norms-driven theory suggests that perceptions of which legal system satisfies widely accepted standards for fair and effective justice will determine which entity is allowed jurisdiction. Since norms-driven analysis seems more prevalent in Supreme Court decisions, this Article pursues its implications for tribal-state jurisdictional conflicts, finding that federal courts and other decisionmakers seem to favor state over tribal jurisdiction because state jurisdiction is perceived …


Finding The Indian Child Welfare Act In Unexpected Places: Applicability In Private Non-Parent Custody Actions, Jill E. Tompkins Jan 2010

Finding The Indian Child Welfare Act In Unexpected Places: Applicability In Private Non-Parent Custody Actions, Jill E. Tompkins

University of Colorado Law Review

In recent years, as an increasing number of Indian parents struggle with substance abuse and addiction, the number of abused and neglected Indian children is on the rise. Consequently, state child welfare agencies are overwhelmed, and caseworkers are only able to intervene in the most egregious situations. This understaffing of state agencies forces other family members and non-relatives to step in and care for these children. The federal Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 ("ICWA") was enacted by the United States Congress to stem the removal, often unwarranted, of an alarmingly high percentage of Indian children from their families through …


Tribal Civil Judicial Jurisdiction Over Nonmembers: A Practical Guide For Judges, Sarah Krakoff Jan 2010

Tribal Civil Judicial Jurisdiction Over Nonmembers: A Practical Guide For Judges, Sarah Krakoff

University of Colorado Law Review

This Article provides a summary of the law of tribal civil jurisdiction over persons who are not members of the governing tribe ("nonmembers'), followed by an analysis of trends in the lower courts. It was written to respond to a consensus view at the University of Colorado Law Review Symposium: "The Next Great Generation of American Indian Law Judges," in January 2010, that a concise, practical, yet indepth treatment of this subject would be useful to the judiciary as well as practitioners. The Article traces the development of the Supreme Court's common law of tribal civil judicial jurisdiction from 1959 …


Federalism At The Cathedral: Property Rules, Liability Rules, And Inalienability Rules In Tenth Amendment Infrastructure, Erin Ryan Jan 2010

Federalism At The Cathedral: Property Rules, Liability Rules, And Inalienability Rules In Tenth Amendment Infrastructure, Erin Ryan

University of Colorado Law Review

This Article explores the consequences for good governance of poorly constructed legal infrastructure in the Tenth Amendment context, and recommends a simple jurisprudential fix: exchanging a property rule for the inalienability remedy rule that the Supreme Court used to protect the anticommandeering entitlement in New York v. United States. Grounded in a values-based theory of American federalism, it shows how the New York inalienability rule unnecessarily removes tools for resolving interjurisdictional quagmiresexemplified by the radioactive waste capacity problem at the heart of the New York litigation-by prohibiting novel forms of state-federal bargaining. In New York, the Court held that Congress …


The Invisible Woman: Availability And Culpability In Reproductive Health Jurisprudence, Beth A. Burkstrand-Reid Jan 2010

The Invisible Woman: Availability And Culpability In Reproductive Health Jurisprudence, Beth A. Burkstrand-Reid

University of Colorado Law Review

Women's health is widely assumed to be a significant consideration in reproductive rights cases. Court decisions relating to contraception, abortion, and childbirth demonstrate that while this assumption may have historical validity, consideration of women's health is often truncated in recent reproductive rights jurisprudence. This occurs, in part, through the application of one or both of two recurring tools. First, judges regularly-and often inaccurately-cite the theoretical availability of alternative reproductive health services as proof that women's health will not suffer even if a law curtailing reproductive rights is upheld. I label this the "availability tool." Second, when alternatives are not available, …


An Unfortunate "Tail": Reconsidering Risk Management Incentives After The Financial Crisis Of 2007-2009, Douglas O. Edwards Jan 2010

An Unfortunate "Tail": Reconsidering Risk Management Incentives After The Financial Crisis Of 2007-2009, Douglas O. Edwards

University of Colorado Law Review

In recent months, the legal academic community has taken a greater interest in the practice of risk management. Doubtless a response to the recent financial crisis, many have concluded that our current market structure allows for uninhibited risk taking and the pooling of systemic risk. Accordingly, most have suggested a regulatory response is necessary. This Comment, in unreserved agreement with these writers, attempts to contribute to this literature in two ways. First, this Comment explains the development of quantitative risk management to fill in the gaps in the existing legal research. Though I present nothing groundbreaking, my purpose is to …
