Stories Out Of School: Teaching The Case Of Brown V. Voss, Elizabeth Samuels
Stories Out Of School: Teaching The Case Of Brown V. Voss, Elizabeth Samuels
All Faculty Scholarship
As a law teacher, I have observed these benefits of the case method, particularly with conducive appellate opinions and a skillfully assembled text. But I have also experienced, as I suspect most law teachers have, instances in which a case that lacks a sufficiently revealing narrative seems to mystify more than elucidate. One example is the case of Brown v. Voss, which appears in a number of property law casebooks, including the widely used Property by Jesse Dukeminier and James E. Krier. In Brown v. Voss the State of Washington Supreme Court departs, in a somewhat disingenuous way, from an …
An Economic Analysis Of Trade Measures To Protect The Global Environment, Howard F. Chang
An Economic Analysis Of Trade Measures To Protect The Global Environment, Howard F. Chang
All Faculty Scholarship
In this article, Professor Howard Chang addresses the role of trade restrictions in supporting policies to protect the global environment and proposes a more liberal treatment of these environmental trade measures than that adopted by dispute-settlement panels of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). The GATT Secretariat has recommended that countries like the United States rely on "carrots" rather than "sticks" in order to induce the participation of other countries in multilateral environmental agreements. Professor Chang defends the use of sticks on the ground that they encourage more restrained exploitation of the environment pending a multilateral agreement. First, …
Social Justice And The Myth Of Fairness: A Communal Defense Of Affirmative Action, Phillip J. Closius
Social Justice And The Myth Of Fairness: A Communal Defense Of Affirmative Action, Phillip J. Closius
All Faculty Scholarship
This Article shall examine the characteristics of the current analytical framework by first examining some harmful effects resulting from the prioritization of fairness: excessive generalization, formalism and superficiality, and materialism. The Article will then examine in detail the Supreme Court's resolution of modern affirmative action issues. The Court has generated confusion and discord by applying simplistic concepts to complex problems and by adhering to the primacy of fairness in a context in which all interested parties claim that fairness favors their result. Finally, this Article will critique the Court's inability to provide a consistent doctrinal basis for discussing affirmative action …

Congressional Control Over Agency Rulemaking: The Nutrition Labeling And Education Act's Hammer Provisions, Elizabeth Magill
All Faculty Scholarship
On November 8, 1990, President Bush signed into law the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (NLEA). The law embodied an aggressive agenda, dictating a comprehensive overhaul of food labels. The law clarified and enhanced the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) authority to require nutrition labels on foods, and established circumstances under which health claims could be made about the nutritional composition or value of foods. Culminating two years of activity on Capitol Hill, the consideration and passage of the bill coincided with a major initiative at the FDA to overhaul food labeling requirements.
The provision of the NLEA …
