Natural Laws And Inevitable Infringement, Alan L. Durham Jan 2008

Natural Laws And Inevitable Infringement, Alan L. Durham

Articles

According to wellestablished principles one cannot patent natural laws or phenomena per se but one can patent new and useful applications of those laws and phenomena Justice Breyers opinion in Laboratory Corp v Metabolite Labs Inc applies this distinction to inventions exploiting natural relationships such as a method of diagnosing a vitamin deficiency by observing elevated levels of an amino acid in a patients blood Justice Breyer concludes that patenting a method based on observation and reasoning amounts to patenting the natural relationship itself a result contrary to policy because it denies others a basic tool of research In fact …

Standing As An Article Ii Nondelegation Doctrine, Tara Leigh Grove Jan 2008

Standing As An Article Ii Nondelegation Doctrine, Tara Leigh Grove

Articles

In this Article I consider the following puzzle in standing doctrine the dichotomy between Executive Branch and private party standing Although the Executive Branch has standing to assert the interest in "seeing that the law is obeyed" private parties may not allege such an abstract grievance I argue that this apparent contradiction offers a new explanation for Article III standing doctrine standing enforces an Article II nondelegation principle by curtailing private prosecutorial discretionThe Executive Branch has an Article II duty to take care that the laws are faithfully executed and for that reason has standing to "see that federal law …

Straddling The Civil-Criminal Divide: A Bifurcated Approach To Understanding The Nature Of Immigration Removal Proceedings, Peter L. Markowitz Jan 2008

Straddling The Civil-Criminal Divide: A Bifurcated Approach To Understanding The Nature Of Immigration Removal Proceedings, Peter L. Markowitz

Articles

The article challenges the traditional classification of removal proceedings as civil, arguing that expulsion, particularly for permanent residents, functions similarly to criminal punishment and should therefore be treated as criminal. It proposes a bifurcated approach distinguishing exclusion and expulsion, advocating for criminal protections in expulsion proceedings to align with historical and constitutional principles.

Created Facts And The Flawed Ontology Of Copyright Law, Justin Hughes Nov 2007

Created Facts And The Flawed Ontology Of Copyright Law, Justin Hughes

Articles

It is black letter doctrine that facts are not copyrightable: facts are discovered, not created—so they will always lack the originality needed for copyright protection. As straightforward as this reasoning seems, it is fundamentally flawed. Using the “social facts” theory of philosopher John Searle, this Article explores a variety of “created facts” cases—designation systems, systematic evaluations, and privately written laws—in which original expression from private individuals is adopted by social convention and generates facts in our social reality. In the course of this discussion, the paper places facts in their historical and philosophical context, explores how courts conflate facts with …

The Protean Career: Exemplified By First World Foreign Residents In Western Europe?, Marian Crowley-Henry Oct 2007

The Protean Career: Exemplified By First World Foreign Residents In Western Europe?, Marian Crowley-Henry

Articles

This article presents findings from a qualitative study exploring the career-related motivations and experiences of a sample of 20 expatriates living and working on a permanent basis in the South of France (Sophia Antipolis) and in Germany (Munich). By virtue of their having established local links in the host country, either in having local working contracts or being installed in the area on a permanent basis (home owners; children born/being schooled in the host country), these expatriates could also be termed foreign residents in the host country. The study’s sample of highly educated workers originating from the United States of …

A Review Of Fiscal Measures To Benefit Heritage Conservation, Tracy Pickerill, Rob Pickard Jul 2007

A Review Of Fiscal Measures To Benefit Heritage Conservation, Tracy Pickerill, Rob Pickard

Articles

This research paper explores to use of fiscal incentives for heritage conservation in a range of countries in Western Europe (Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom) and North America (Canada and USA), to see how they are used and how effective they are.

The main incentives are:

  • Income tax deductions and credits for costs incurred in heritage conservation activity;
  • Income tax credits for the provision of social housing in heritage buildings;
  • Property tax exemption, abatement or freeze for heritage buildings;
  • Value added (sales) tax concessions or rebates relating to heritage conservation activity;
  • Use of …


Key Skills Framework: Enhancing Employability Within A Lifelong Learning Paradigm, Aidan Kenny, Ray English, Dave Kilmartin Jun 2007

Key Skills Framework: Enhancing Employability Within A Lifelong Learning Paradigm, Aidan Kenny, Ray English, Dave Kilmartin

Articles

Employability has become an area of interest among the general public and policy makers alike, with an increasing number of reports in the general media regarding the need for workers in certain sectors to up-skill due to the possible threat of job ‘displacement’. In addition, there has been an increase in education and training policy documents emphasising that citizens should pursue Lifelong Learning /Life Wide Learning to address the increased job-related uncertainty attributed to the globalisation process and the concomitant competitive threats. Academics such as Barnett (2005) claim that we are living in an era of ‘super complexity' and rapid …

Evaluation Of The Idi-Mrsa Assay On The Smartcycler Real-Time Pcr Platform For Rapid Detection Of Mrsa From Screening Specimens, Celine Herra, A. S. Rossney, M. Fitzgibbon, P. Morgan, B. O’Connell

Articles

Rapid accurate detection is a prerequisite for the successful control of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The IDI-MRSA real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was designed to provide rapid results from nasal specimens collected in Stuart’s liquid transport medium. This study has evaluated the IDI-MRSA kit for use in a clinical laboratory by investigating the following parameters: (1) limits of detection (LoD), (2) performance with Amies’ gel-based transport medium, (3) ability to detect strains of MRSA in a collection representative of MRSA in Ireland since 1974 (n 113) and (4) performance in a clinical trial with swabs from nose, throat and …


Using The Technology Of The Confessional As An Analytical Resource: Four Analytical Stances Towards Research Interviews In Discourse Analysis, Brendan O'Rourke, Martyn Pitt May 2007

Using The Technology Of The Confessional As An Analytical Resource: Four Analytical Stances Towards Research Interviews In Discourse Analysis, Brendan O'Rourke, Martyn Pitt

Articles

Among the various approaches that have developed from FOUCAULT's work is an Anglophone discourse analysis that has attempted to combine FOUCAULTian insights with the techniques of Conversation Analysis. An important current methodological issue in this discourse analytical approach is its theoretical preference for "naturally occurring" rather than research interview data. A FOUCAULTian perspective on the interview as a research instrument, questions the idea of "naturally-occurring discourse". The "technology of the confessional" operates, not only within research interviews, but permeates other interactions as well. Drawing on FOUCAULT does not dismiss the problems of the interview as research instrument rather it shows …

The Internationalization Of Lay Legal Decision-Making: Jury Resurgence And Jury Research, Richard O. Lempert Apr 2007

The Internationalization Of Lay Legal Decision-Making: Jury Resurgence And Jury Research, Richard O. Lempert

Articles

When I first began to study the jury more than thirty years ago, the topic of this Journal issue, jury systems around the world, was unthinkable. The use of juries, especially in civil litigation, had long been in decline, to the point of near extinction in England, the land of their birth, and the live question was whether the jury system would endure in the United States. It seemed clear that juries would not continue in their classic form, as many U.S. states, with the Supreme Court's eventual approval, mandated juries of less than twelve people and allowed verdicts to …

On Logic In The Law: Something, But Not All, Susan Haack Mar 2007

On Logic In The Law: Something, But Not All, Susan Haack

Articles

In 1880, when Oliver Wendell Holmes (later to be a Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court) criticized the "logical theology" of law articulated by Christopher Columbus Langdell (the first Dean of Harvard Law School), neither Holmes nor Langdell was aware of the revolution in logic that had begun, the year before, with Frege's Begriffsschrift. But there is an important element of truth in Holmes's insistence that a legal system cannot be adequately understood as a system of "axioms and corollaries"; and this element of truth is not obviated by the more powerful logical techniques that are now available.
