How Should We Talk About Corporations? The Languages Of Economics And Of Citizenship, James Boyd White Jan 1985

How Should We Talk About Corporations? The Languages Of Economics And Of Citizenship, James Boyd White

Articles

My immediate subject in this Comment is section 2.01 of the American Law Institute's proposed Principles of Corporate Governance (Tentative Draft No. 2), which defines in general terms the proper objectives and conduct of a business corporation. My larger subject has to do with the adequacy and inadequacy of various languages in which corporate pur­poses and limits might be expressed, and especially with the limits of the economic language used in the ALI Draft.


Thoughts On Teaching, Christina B. Whitman Jan 1985

Thoughts On Teaching, Christina B. Whitman

Articles

I teach in classrooms where, ten years ago, I sat as a student. People who were my teachers are now my colleagues. People who were my students are still my friends. The difference between teacher and student, it seems to me, is more appropriately described as progression through a life than as distinct positions in a hierarchy.


Bistabiity By Induced Waveguiding In Coupled Semiconductor Lasers, Daniel Heffernan, J. Mcinerney, L. Reekie, D. Bradley Jan 1985

Bistabiity By Induced Waveguiding In Coupled Semiconductor Lasers, Daniel Heffernan, J. Mcinerney, L. Reekie, D. Bradley

Articles

Recently, McInerney, Reekie, and Bradley observed bistability in twin diode GaAs/GaAlAs injection lasers in an external cavity when both diodes were above threshold. We show that this bistability may be explained by a form of self-focusing which is produced by induced waveguiding in the wide stripe lasers. A detailed analysis is performed on a standard model of these diodes in an external cavity. We have found very good agreement between theory and experiment.

Articles

A description of how to modify a SLR camera for action infrared photography and how to adjust a regular light meter for more dependable IR exposure determinations.


Travelers Checks, James J. White Jan 1985

Travelers Checks, James J. White

Articles

A. Travelers Checks Defined 1. Courts have variously described travelers checks as certificates of deposit, negotiable instruments, securities, cash, and cashier's checks. 2. The most persuasive analysis seems to treat travelers checks as cashier's checks on which the issuer is both the drawer and the drawee, the purchaser once he has countersigned is the payee, and both the purchaser and the next recipient are indorsers.


The Wagner Act: Labor Law's Signal Event, Theodore J. St. Antoine Jan 1985

The Wagner Act: Labor Law's Signal Event, Theodore J. St. Antoine

Articles

There's no fun in stating the obvious. Sophisticated professionals bestow few kudos on those who declaim the conventional wisdom. Even so, one would have to be far more perverse than I, in this fiftieth anniversary year of the National Labor Relations Act, to suggest that the Wagner Act, wasn't the most important (and at the time of it- passage the most controversial) development in the last half-century of labor law.


Future Nonadvance Obligations Under Article 9 Of The Ucc: Legitimate Priority Or Unwarranted Squeeze-Out?, Jeanne L. Schroeder, David G. Carlson Jan 1985

Future Nonadvance Obligations Under Article 9 Of The Ucc: Legitimate Priority Or Unwarranted Squeeze-Out?, Jeanne L. Schroeder, David G. Carlson

Articles

The article critiques the Second Circuit's decision in Dick Warner Cargo Handling Corp. v. Aetna Business Credit, Inc., arguing that it unfairly prioritizes revolving credit financiers over lien creditors by reviving the unitary theory of security interests under Article 9 of the UCC. The authors defend the multiple theory, asserting that security interests for advances and nonadvance obligations should be treated separately, and that the court's ruling undermines the balance intended by the 1972 UCC amendments.

Protection Of Biodiversity Under The Public Trust Doctrine, Ralph W. Johnson, William C. Galloway Nov 1984

Protection Of Biodiversity Under The Public Trust Doctrine, Ralph W. Johnson, William C. Galloway

Articles

The public trust doctrine is an ancient Roman legal doctrine that has been applied in both England and the Umted States. The doctrine traditionally addressed questions of public access to and use of commercially navigable waters for navigation, fisheries and various other uses of the underlying seabeds, lake bottoms, and riverbeds. In recent years, the public trust doctrine has been invoked to protect birds and other wildlife, water quality, ecological and environmental values, and different types of recreation. Although no public trust case has applied the doctrine to protect biodiversity per se, it seems clear by analogy to existing case …


Pollution Control By Effluent Charges: It Works In The Federal Republic Of Germany, Why Not In The U.S., Gardner M. Brown Jr., Ralph W. Johnson Oct 1984

Pollution Control By Effluent Charges: It Works In The Federal Republic Of Germany, Why Not In The U.S., Gardner M. Brown Jr., Ralph W. Johnson

Articles

This article describes the recent Federal Republic of Germany effluent charge law and the political and legal background that permitted this law to be enacted. The impact of that law is assessed, although the assessment is necessarily tentative in view of the short experience with the law to date. The economic and legal implications of enacting an effluent charge law in the United States also are analyzed. Included in this discussion are the advantages and disadvantages of state vs. federal enactment, the constitutional objections that might be raised to such a law, and how it might be coordinated with existing …


Introduction, Terrance Sandalow Oct 1984

Introduction, Terrance Sandalow

Articles

The articles that follow, initially presented in 1983 as the thirty-second series of Thomas M. Cooley Lectures, address a subject that has deep roots in the United States' history. Assurances that there would be constitutional protection of what are now called human rights-in the United States, they have more frequently been referred to as civil liberties and civil rights or individual rights and liberties-was a practical condition for the adoption of the Constitution. The belief that such guarantees are of vital importance in maintaining a society that is both free and just has over time become even more deeply embedded …

Introduction: Trends And Developments With Respect To That Amendment 'Central To Enjoyment Of Other Guarantees Of The Bill Of Rights', Yale Kamisar Apr 1984

Introduction: Trends And Developments With Respect To That Amendment 'Central To Enjoyment Of Other Guarantees Of The Bill Of Rights', Yale Kamisar

Articles

Seventy years ago, in the famous Weeks case,' the Supreme Court evoked a storm of controversy by promulgating the federal exclusionary rule. When, a half-century later, in the landmark Mapp case,2 the Court extended the Weeks rule to state criminal proceedings, at least one experienced observer assumed that the controversy "today finds its end." 3 But as we all know now, Mapp only intensified the controversy. Indeed, in recent years spirited debates over proposals to modify the exclusionary rule or to scrap it entirely have filled the air - and the law reviews.'


The Quest For Silence: Faulkner's Lawyer In A Comparative Setting, Richard H. Weisberg Apr 1984

The Quest For Silence: Faulkner's Lawyer In A Comparative Setting, Richard H. Weisberg

Articles

The article explores William Faulkner's portrayal of Gavin Stevens, a fictional lawyer, highlighting his evolution as a character and his unique place within the tradition of literary lawyer figures. The analysis focuses on Gavin's development in The Town, where he learns the value of silence and observation, distinguishing him from other lawyers in literature who often remain static in their personal growth. The article situates Gavin within a broader literary context, comparing him to characters from works by authors like Dickens and Twain, and argues for his significance as a complex and sympathetic character.


Human Rights, Stability, And Development In Africa: Some Observations On Concept And Reality, Minasse Haile Apr 1984

Human Rights, Stability, And Development In Africa: Some Observations On Concept And Reality, Minasse Haile

Articles

The article examines the challenges of implementing international human rights standards in sub-Saharan Africa, highlighting the tension between human rights and economic development. It argues that while human rights are essential, their realization is impeded by factors such as authoritarian governance, economic disparities, and the legacy of colonialism. The author advocates for a balanced approach that considers these challenges while promoting human rights, emphasizing the need to support pragmatic governance to gradually improve human rights conditions.

The Nonprobate Revolution And The Future Of The Law Of Succession, John H. Langbein Mar 1984

The Nonprobate Revolution And The Future Of The Law Of Succession, John H. Langbein

Articles

The popular demand for probate avoidance has coincided with a fundamental change in the nature of wealth. Mogt property now takes the form of claims on financial intermediaries, who can easily transfer account balances on death, without court proceedings. Further, creditors have developed a variety of techniques for collecting decedents' debts without probate. Professor Langbein sees in these developments the basis for legitimating the main will substitutes as "nonprobate wills" and for unifying the constructional law of wills and will substitutes.


The Mythical Meritocracy Of Law School Admissions, James C. Hathaway Mar 1984

The Mythical Meritocracy Of Law School Admissions, James C. Hathaway

Articles

Because more people apply to law schools than can be accepted, the admissions procedure at most faculties has been designed to select the best qualified persons from the applicant pool. Selection criteria are adopted to enable law school administrators to determine fairly and objectively which applicants are most likely to succeed in legal studies. Even with the advent of admissions policies designed to increase opportunities for members of various minority groups to study law, specific admissions decisions within each preferred category are generally made with a view to choosing the candidates judged most able to do well at law school. …
