Clash Between The First Amendment And Civil Rights: Public University Nondiscrimination Clauses, The, Richard M. Paul Iii, Derek Rose
Missouri Law Review
Individual rights have become increasingly important in this country in the past few decades. University campuses across the country form part of the current bedrock of this movement. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that public universities,' the closest representative of the government to college students, are the subject of much of the pressure to enact rules protecting the rights, viewpoints, and actions of minority members of society. Universities originally intended that nondiscrimination clauses ensure student groups recognized by the university did not exercise improper prejudices based on gender, nationality, or religious belief. Recently, however, the gay rights movement …
Duty Of Mental Health Care Providers To Restrain Their Patients Or Warn Third Parties, The, Timothy E. Gammon, John K. Hulston
Duty Of Mental Health Care Providers To Restrain Their Patients Or Warn Third Parties, The, Timothy E. Gammon, John K. Hulston
Missouri Law Review
When should liability be imposed upon those who fail to prevent injury or ring the alarm bell? This article addresses two well worn and hotly debated issues from a Missouri perspective. First, should physicians, other mental health care providers, mental health care hospitals, and other facilities be liable for either: (1) the failure to restrain a patient, or (2) the release of a patient who subsequently injures an individual member of the general public? Second, should there be liability for failure to warn specific third persons, members of law enforcement, other officials, or the public generally in such situations?

The Limits Of Quantitative Legal Analyses: Chaos In Legal Scholarship And Fdic V. W.R. Grace & Co., Royce De R. Barondes
Faculty Publications
This Article identifies a few of those techniques by examining a number of quasi-quantitative legal analyses that have addressed a range of legal relationships. The methodology of this Article consists of reviewing the relationship between those legal analyses and their associated non-legal disciplines. The unifying theme of the discussed examples is that a useful, well constructed quantitative analysis or approach has been improperly extended into a legal context.

Remark: Brown V. Board: Revisited, Michael A. Middleton

[T]he Negro needs neither segregated schools nor mixed schools. What he needs is Education. What he must remember is that there is no magic, either in mixed schools or in segregated schools. A mixed school with poor and unsympathetic teachers, with hostile public opinion, and no teaching of truth concerning black folk, is bad. A segregated school with ignorant placeholders, inadequate equipment, poor salaries, and wretched housing, is equally bad. Other things being equal, the mixed school is the broader, more natural basis for the education of all youth. It gives wider contacts; it inspires greater self-confidence; and suppresses the …
Improving America's Health Care: Authorizing Independent Prescriptive Privileges For Advanced Practice Nurses, Mary M. Beck
Improving America's Health Care: Authorizing Independent Prescriptive Privileges For Advanced Practice Nurses, Mary M. Beck
Faculty Publications
Nursing and organized medicine are engaged in a heated and emotional debate over independent prescriptive privileges for advanced practice nurses. Uncontroverted data demonstrates that nurse practitioners provide high quality health care at a reduced cost, while increasing access to health care for under-served populations. It is apparent that advanced practice nurses could improve the delivery of American health care. However, organized medicine is opposed to autonomous advanced nursing practice and lobbies powerfully against it. Currently, the majority of state laws and regulations pertaining to advanced practice nursing do not promote a sound public health policy, do not contemplate liability issues …
Summary Jury Trial - A Caution, Avern Cohn
Summary Jury Trial - A Caution, Avern Cohn
Journal of Dispute Resolution
My experience with summary jury trials as a settlement device, as well as a poll of my colleagues in the Eastern District of Michigan, suggests the drawbacks of summary jury trials outweigh the benefits. Additionally, a decision regarding the worth of summary jury trial as a dispute resolution mechanism, particularly over the objections of a party, should be suspended until the Rand Corporation's Institute for Civil Justice reports to Congress on its evaluation of Civil Justice Reform Act initiatives with regard to alternate dispute resolution procedures in federal district courts.
Federal Arbitration Act And Section 2'S Involving Commerce Requirement: The Final Step Towards Complete Federal Preemption Over State Law And Policy - Allied-Bruce Terminix V. Dobson, The, Isham R. Jones Iii
Journal of Dispute Resolution
In 1609, Lord Coke held agreements to arbitrate revocable at will at any time prior to the issuance of an award.' For three-hundred years following Lord Coke's decision, a similar mindset pervaded the judicial psyche of both England and the United States, requiring legislative action to overcome the dilemma.' Even after the enactment of the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA" or "Act"), passed by Congress to combat judicial hostility to arbitration, courts continued to jealously guard their jurisdiction from non-traditional dispute resolution forums.4 Under Section 2 of the FAA, courts must enforce agreements to arbitrate contained in contracts which evidence a …
Sorting Through The Establishment Clause Tests, Looking Past The Lemon, Stephanie E. Russell
Sorting Through The Establishment Clause Tests, Looking Past The Lemon, Stephanie E. Russell
Missouri Law Review
After the decision in Lemon v. Kurtzman, one three-pronged test controlled all Establishment Clause issues. The Lemon test has guided the court's analysis of a broad range of issues, including governmental speech on religious topics, governmental impositions of burdens and grants of benefits, and governmental delegations of civil power to religious bodies. The Lemon test was not originally intended to provide strict rules, but rather, "helpful signposts." However, the Court began using the Lemon test exclusively to evaluate Establishment Clause issues soon after the decision was rendered.
Health Care Rationing And Disability Rights, Philip G. Peters Jr.
Health Care Rationing And Disability Rights, Philip G. Peters Jr.
Faculty Publications
This article explores the extent to which federal disability rights law limits the use of effectiveness criteria to allocate health care, either alone or as a part of cost-effectiveness analyses. To be more precise, it considers the circumstances in which disability-based classifications by health plans which would otherwise violate the anti-discrimination laws can be legally and ethically defended by proof that the excluded treatments are less effective than those which are provided. Part I introduces the expanding use of effectiveness analysis in health care, explains its discriminatory potential, and reviews the Oregon experience. Part II outlines the current federal law …

You Have The Right To Criticize This Casenote: Protecting Negative Reviews Within The Law Of Defamation And The First Amendment, David C. Vogel
Missouri Law Review
In Moldea v. New York Times Co., the District of Columbia Court of Appeals attempted to determine under what circumstances a statement labeled as opinion may be the basis for a defamation suit. The court approached the topic with some difficulty, as the United States Supreme Court's 1990 decision in Milkovich v. Lorain Journal Co. had created confusion in lower courts over not only the validity of several traditional tests used to distinguish between fact and opinion, but also as to whether placing statements in an opinion context provides them with blanket protection from liability, regardless of their content. The …

Playing "21" With Narcotics Enforcement: A Response To Professor Carrington (Symposium, Regulatory Future Of Contingent Employment), Frank O. Bowman Iii
Faculty Publications
Although I have fundamental disagreements with Professor Carrington even when his argument is reduced to its core, my purpose here is neither to defend every jot and tittle of national drug policy, nor to propose any sweeping personal vision of the place of recreational drugs in America. My ambitions are more modest. I suggest three premises: (1) Intelligent discussion of drug policy requires that we shed the image of law enforcement as warfare. (2) Instead, criminal narcotics prohibitions, penalties, and enforcement methods should be analyzed by the same standards which *939 govern any other type of crime. (3) If antinarcotics …

The employment patterns of “nontraditional” workers in the United States show two conflicting characteristics. On the one hand, researchers have observed a continuing increase in the rate of participation of nontraditional workers at multiple levels in the work force. For example, the proportion of women white collar workers increased from twenty-two percent in the late 1960s to forty-six percent in 1992. Similarly, the average job tenure for nontraditional workers has also increased. For example, although males in the thirty-five to forty-four year old age group have experienced a small decline in job tenure, women in the same group have seen …
Mediation Privilege's Transition From Theory To Implementation: Designing A Mediation Privilege Standard To Protect Mediation Participants, The Process And The Public Interest, The, Alan Kirtley
Journal of Dispute Resolution
This article will analyze the developing law of the mediation privilege. To begin with, the attributes and uses of the mediation process and the function of confidentiality in mediation will be examined. The existing legal means to protect mediation confidentiality, short of a privilege, will also be reviewed. Then an analysis of policy considerations underlying evidentiary privileges generally will be followed by an assessment of the theoretical underpinnings for a mediation privilege. Finally, a critique of the various forms taken by new mediation privilege statutes and rules will be undertaken. The State of Washington's mediation privilege statute 2 will serve …

Journal of Dispute Resolution
The Alternative Dispute Resolution Section of the Association of American Law Schools presented a program, at a 1995 AALS Conference, on current ethical issues that arise in mediation and how these issues should be addressed by the standards of professional conduct. The panel for the program was composed of leading mediation scholars and practitioners from throughout the country. The program was organized by Professor Edward Sherman who also acted as the panel moderator and provided the following introduction

Exemplary Awards In Securities Arbitration: Short-Circuited Rights To Punitive Damages - Mastrobuono V. Shearson Lehman Hutton, Inc., Isham R. Jones Iii
Journal of Dispute Resolution
Despite some residual image problems, arbitration is far from a modem day phenomenon.2 Aristotle himself was a fan of arbitration, "for the arbitrator keeps equity in view, whereas the judge looks only to the law."3 However, inconsistency among federal courts regarding the award of punitive damages by arbitrators has only furthered the image problem.4 Discord among courts arises when parties sign a contract agreeing to be bound by the law of a state which prohibits arbitral awards of punitive damages along with contract language which seems to express intent to allow punitive damages.5 Under the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"), federal …
