Employment-At-Will—Is The Model Act The Answer?, Theodore J. St. Antoine
Employment-At-Will—Is The Model Act The Answer?, Theodore J. St. Antoine
Articles
Over the last quarter century, the most significant development in the field of labor and employment law has been a nationwide movement toward a revision of the at-will employment doctrine. Courts in over forty-five jurisdictions have used one or more of three main theories to carve out exceptions to the previously allpervasive principle. Unfortunately, though one can applaud the values embodied in these decisions, there are serious deficiencies in the common law modifications. The purpose of this Article is to outline those defects and to demonstrate that the interests of employees and employers alike would be better served by new …
State Responses To Task Force Reports On Race And Ethnic Bias In The Courts, Suellyn Scarnecchia
State Responses To Task Force Reports On Race And Ethnic Bias In The Courts, Suellyn Scarnecchia
Articles
While several states have embarked on studies of race and ethnic bias in their courts, Minnesota is only the sixth to publish its report to date. As Minnesota joins the ranks of states with published reports, it is worthwhile to assess the impact of the five earlier published reports from other states. Final reports have been published in Michigan (1989), Washington (1990), New York (1991), Florida (1991) and New Jersey (1992). The published reports make findings and provide several specific recommendations for change. This article will review the published findings and recommendations of the task forces and will discuss the …
Cornerstones Of The Judicial Process, Jerold H. Israel
Cornerstones Of The Judicial Process, Jerold H. Israel
Articles
Under our federated system of government, each state and the federal government have their own criminal justice processes. The federal system must comply with the constitutional prerequisites set forth in the Bill of Rights, and the state systems must comply with those Bill of Rights' provisions made applicable to the states by the Fourteenth Amendment,1 but those constitutional prerequisites allow considerable room for variation from one jurisdiction to another. In many respects, the fifty states and the federal government have used that leeway to produce considerable diversity in their respective criminal justice processes. At the same time, however, one can …
The Law And Arbitration: The Model Employment Termination Act, Theodore J. St. Antoine
The Law And Arbitration: The Model Employment Termination Act, Theodore J. St. Antoine
Articles
The Model Employment Termination Act(META), which the Uniform Law Commissioners have recommended for adoption by all state legislatures, could provide the most significant legal change of this quarter century in the American workplace. In addition, if the annual case load of grievance arbitrations in this country now stands at somewhere around 65,000, the Act holds the potential for at least quadrupling that figure. Our colleague Jack Stieber has calculated that there are 60 million U.S. employees who are not protected by union contracts or civil service laws, and are thus subject to the employment-at-will doctrine. They can be fired for …

Annual Report Of The Committee On Libraries, Legal Research And Publications, 1992-1993, Margaret A. Leary

James Madison And Public Choice At Gucci Gulch: A Procedural Defense Of Tax Expenditures And Tax Institutions, Edward A. Zelinsky
James Madison And Public Choice At Gucci Gulch: A Procedural Defense Of Tax Expenditures And Tax Institutions, Edward A. Zelinsky
Articles
Few academic doctrines can claim the intellectual and political success of tax expenditure analysis. In roughly a generation's time, Professor Surrey's procedural and substantive critique of tax subsidies has become entrenched in the law school curriculum and in legal scholarship. More impressively, the tax expenditure concept has been enshrined in federal law and become part of the daily discourse of the national budget process.

The 1991 Supreme Court Term: Review And Outlook, John O. Mcginnis
The 1991 Supreme Court Term: Review And Outlook, John O. Mcginnis
Articles
The 1991 Supreme Court Term was the first during which justices originally appointed by Presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush-Sandra Day O'Connor, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, David Souter, and Clarence Thomas-constituted a majority. The term's main surprise, however, was that this majority of five-indeed, a majority of six when Chief Justice William Rehnquist, elevated to that position by President Reagan precisely because of his judicial philosophy, is included-did not forge a consistent jurisprudential majority characterized by the strict interpretative approach favored by their sponsoring presidents. While, generally speaking, the Court's decisions certainly continued to represent a departure from the expansive …
Delaware Fiduciary Duty Law After Qvc And Technicolor: A Unified Standard (And The End Of Revlon Duties?), Lawrence A. Cunningham, Charles M. Yablon
Delaware Fiduciary Duty Law After Qvc And Technicolor: A Unified Standard (And The End Of Revlon Duties?), Lawrence A. Cunningham, Charles M. Yablon
Articles
The Delaware Supreme Court's decisions in QVC and Technicolor have redefined the analysis of directors' fiduciary duties in takeover situations by rejecting the fragmented approach of separate duties under Revlon, Unocal, and MacMillan. Instead, these rulings establish a unified standard that combines the duties of care and loyalty under a single obligation of good faith and fair dealing, requiring directors to make reasonably informed judgments. This approach applies enhanced scrutiny to decisions involving sales of control, defensive tactics, and other extraordinary events, ensuring that directors act in the best interests of shareholders while allowing flexibility in their decision-making processes.

Are Laws Against Assisted Suicide Unconstitutional?, Yale Kamisar
Are Laws Against Assisted Suicide Unconstitutional?, Yale Kamisar
Articles
On 15 February of this year, shortly after the number of people Dr. Jack Kevorkian had helped to commit suicide swelled to fifteen, the Michigan legislature passed a law, effective that very day, making assisted suicide a felony punishable by up to four years in prison. The law, which is automatically repealed six months after a newly established commission on death and dying recommends permanent legislation, prohibits anyone with knowledge that another person intends to commit suicide from "intentionally providing the physical means" by which the other person does so or from "intentionally participat[ing] in a physical act" by which …
Limiting The Role Of Patents In Technology Transfer, Rebecca Sue Eisenberg
Limiting The Role Of Patents In Technology Transfer, Rebecca Sue Eisenberg
Articles
Federal policy since 1980 has reflected an increasingly confident presumption that patenting discoveries made in the course of government-sponsored research is the most effective way to promote technology transfer and commercial development of those discoveries in the private sector. Whereas policymakers in the past may have thought that the best way to achieve widespread use of government-sponsored research was to make the results freely available to the public, the new propatent policy stresses the need for exclusive rights as an incentive for industry to undertake the further investment to bring new products to market. Although this propatent policy may make …
The Romance Of Revenge: Capital Punishment In America, Samuel R. Gross
The Romance Of Revenge: Capital Punishment In America, Samuel R. Gross
Articles
On February 17, 1992, Jeffrey Dahmer was sentenced to 15 consecutive terms of life imprisonment for killing and dismembering 15 young men and boys (Associated Press 1992a). Dahmer had been arrested six months earlier, on July 22, 1991. On January 13 he pled guilty to the fifteen murder counts against him, leaving open only the issue of his sanity. Jury selection began two weeks later, and the trial proper started on January 30. The jury heard two weeks of testimony about murder, mutilation and necrophilia; they deliberated for 5 hours before finding that Dahmer was sane when he committed these …

The Scholar As Advocate, Rebecca S. Eisenberg
Articles
Academic freedom in this country has been so closely identified with faculty autonomy that the two terms are often used interchangeably, especially by faculty members who are resisting restraints on their freedom to do as they please. While there may be some dispute as to whether or how far academic freedom protects the autonomy of universities or of students, the autonomy of faculty members seems to lie close to the core of the traditional American conception of academic freedom. As elaborated by the American Association of University Professors, this conception of academic freedom calls for protecting individual faculty members from …
The Case Of The Disappearing Briefs: A Study In Preservation Strategy, Margaret A. Leary
The Case Of The Disappearing Briefs: A Study In Preservation Strategy, Margaret A. Leary
Articles
Federal appellate court records and briefs are significant to researchers in many disciplines, but academic law libraries are discarding them. Ms. Leary chronicles the demise of paper holdings in law libraries, the rise of microforms, and the contents and usage of the National Archives and Records Administration's files. She then derives principles for preservation strategies that may apply to other categories of legal material.
Response To Wayne P. Kelley, Margaret A. Leary
Response To Wayne P. Kelley, Margaret A. Leary
Articles
I appreciate Mr. Kelley's comments and his concern about the "fundamental legal responsibility of federal depository libraries to provide free and unrestricted access to depository materials to the general public," or, as stated in 44 U.S.C. § 1911, "Depository libraries shall make Government publications available for the free use of the general public." I write to respond to the statements that "It is impossible to determine exactly what sort of access to depository materials is allowed at the University of Michigan Law Library from the [Snow] article," and "It appears that the ... policy does not meet our requirements."

Wayne R. Lafave: Search And Seizure Commentator At Work And Play, Yale Kamisar, Jerold H. Israel
Articles
Starting in 1969,1 we have had the honor and pleasure of co-authoring a goodly number of casebooks, texts, treatises, pocket parts, and annual supplements (more than twenty) with Wayne LaFave.2 On each occasion we have been impressed by the quality of his mind and the judiciousness of his temperament, and impressed as well (and sometimes amazed) by his speed and efficiency.
Harry Edward's Nostalgia, Paul D. Reingold
Harry Edward's Nostalgia, Paul D. Reingold
Articles
Until fairly recently, the work of people who thought and wrote about the law in its broadest cultural sense, and the work of those who thought and wrote about the law as it was practiced, did not intersect very much. The broad cultural issues tended to be the province of philosophers or political theorists or other academic social critics, while traditional legal scholarship - as it appeared in law school journals - remained firmly rooted in lawyers' questions. This is not to suggest that legal academics wrote nothing but practice manuals, but it is true that until the last twenty …
Revising Article 9 To Reduce Wasteful Litigation, James J. White
Revising Article 9 To Reduce Wasteful Litigation, James J. White
Articles
For reasons that are unclear to me, the committees reviewing the articles of the Uniform Commercial Code and drafting revisions are congenitally conservative. Perhaps these committees take their charge too seriously, namely, to revise, not to revolutionize. Perhaps their intimate knowledge of the subject matter exaggerates the importance of each section and consequently magnifies the apparent size of every change. In any case, my own experience with two such committees tells me that the members quickly become focused on revisions and amendments that any outsider would describe as modest. To the extent that the revision of any of the articles …
Active V. Passive Euthanasia: Why Keep The Distinction?, Yale Kamisar
Active V. Passive Euthanasia: Why Keep The Distinction?, Yale Kamisar
Articles
In the past two decades, we have witnessed a "sea change in public, medical, and legislative judgments" about "letting die" and the "right to die." But it is no less true today than it was 35 years ago, when I first wrote about this subject, that in Anglo-American jurisprudence active euthanasia (what used to be called "mercy killing") is murder.
