Rethinking Minority Business Development Strategies, Robert E. Suggs Dec 1990

Rethinking Minority Business Development Strategies, Robert E. Suggs

Faculty Scholarship

Minority business set-asides were created as a prophylactic measure to redress discrimination against minority owned business firms. Predominantly minority jurisdictions found them especially attractive because they promised to provide minority firms a share of the procurement dollars expended by these jurisdictions. The Croson decision invalidated Richmond’s ordinance and posed substantial barriers to further enactments. This article proposes an alternative to such set-aides. It argues that the proposed alternative, an Equal Opportunity Rating Agency (EORA), provides a superior business development policy tool and does not have the constitutional vulnerabilities of set-asides. An EORA would operate much like a credit rating agency, …


Rethinking "Original Intent", David B. Lyons Nov 1990

Rethinking "Original Intent", David B. Lyons

Faculty Scholarship

Although Dred Scott v. Sandford is one of the Supreme Court's most controversial decisions, it is not often taught or read. But its approach to constitutional interpretation is by no means outdated, and its historical importance has not diminished. So it seems a good example to consider.


Administrative Failure And Local Democracy: The Politics Of Deshaney, Jack M. Beermann Nov 1990

Administrative Failure And Local Democracy: The Politics Of Deshaney, Jack M. Beermann

Faculty Scholarship

This Essay is an effort to construct a normative basis for a constitutional theory to resist the Supreme Court's recent decision in DeShaney v. Winnebago County Department of Social Services.1 In DeShaney, the Court decided that a local social service worker's failure to prevent child abuse did not violate the due process clause of the fourteenth amendment even though the social worker "had reason to believe" the abuse was occurring. 2 Chief Justice Rehnquist's opinion for the Court held that government inaction cannot violate due process unless the state has custody of the victim, 3 thus settling a controversial …


Rent Appropriation And The Labor Law Doctrine Of Successorship, Keith N. Hylton Nov 1990

Rent Appropriation And The Labor Law Doctrine Of Successorship, Keith N. Hylton

Faculty Scholarship

When there is a change of corporate control in a business enterprise a question arises as to whether the new employer should be bound by the predecessor's collective bargaining relationship with the union representing the predecessor's employees. This is known as the successorship problem in labor law.' Successorship doctrine is complex and controversial. Several commentators have attempted to reconcile Supreme Court decisions and to ascertain the assumptions underlying the Court's opinions in this area.2 This Article does not attempt to do this, although paradoxically, the arguments presented may lead to reconciliation of many of the Supreme Court's decisions relating to …

Professional Decisions And Ethical Values In Medical And Law Students, Robert L. Schwartz, Agnes G. Rezler, Pamela Lambert, S. Scott Obenshain, Joan Mciver Gibson, David A. Bennahum

Faculty Scholarship

The purpose of this project is to evaluate and compare the values used by medical and law students when dealing with ethical dilemmas in the professional practice of law and medicine. It is assumed that conflict between doctors and lawyers often arises out of the different values that members of each profession apply to similar dilemmas.

Conflict Of Laws (1990), Sharon N. Freytag, James P. George, Michelle E. Mccoy Jul 1990

Conflict Of Laws (1990), Sharon N. Freytag, James P. George, Michelle E. Mccoy

Faculty Scholarship

Conflicts of laws occur when foreign elements appear in a lawsuit. Nonresident litigants, incidents in sister states or foreign countries, and lawsuits from other jurisdictions represent foreign elements that may create problems of judicial jurisdiction, choice of law, or recognition of foreign judgments, respectively. This Article reviews Texas conflicts of law during the Survey period from late 1988 through 1989, discussing cases from Texas state and federal courts. The Article excludes cases involving federal-state conflicts, criminal law, intrastate matters such as subject matter jurisdiction and venue, and conflicts in time, such as the applicability of prior or subsequent law within …

Territorial Governments And The Limits Of Formalism, Gary S. Lawson Jul 1990

Territorial Governments And The Limits Of Formalism, Gary S. Lawson

Faculty Scholarship

For much of this nation's history, the governance of American territories, such as the island of Guam, was one of the most significant and oft-litigated problems of American constitutional law. In modern times, however, issues of territorial governance have been reduced to the status of constitutional arcana. Professor Lawson maintains that this frequently neglected problem of territorial governance is an ideal context in which to conduct the resurgent modern debate concerning separation of powers theory. Accordingly, Professor Lawson undertakes a formalist analysis of the principal institutions of American territorial governance, finding all of them incompatible with a formalist understanding of …


The Law And Economics Of Organ Procurement, Keith N. Hylton Jul 1990

The Law And Economics Of Organ Procurement, Keith N. Hylton

Faculty Scholarship

This paper presents an economic analysis of the organ procurement system in the U.S. and examines proposals to alleviate the shortage of transplantable organs. The paper's principal conclusions are: (1) Although non-market solutions deserve the highest priority, demand increases fueled by improvements in transplant technology will probably make some market-based solution necessary in the future. (2) Quality deterioration and coercion will not necessarily be worrisome problems under a market-based procurement system.


Toward A Jurisprudence Of Benefits: The Norms Of Copyright And The Problem Of Private Censorship, Wendy J. Gordon Jul 1990

Toward A Jurisprudence Of Benefits: The Norms Of Copyright And The Problem Of Private Censorship, Wendy J. Gordon

Faculty Scholarship

For many years copyright was a backwater of the law. Perceived as an esoteric and narrow field beset by hypertechnical formalities, the discipline and its practitioners were largely isolated from scholarly and case law developments in other areas. There were exceptions, of course. Well before the explosion of intellectual property litigation in the last twenty years, persons such as Zechariah Chafee, Jr. and Judge Learned Hand brought a wealth of learning and broad perspective to copyright. But by and large copyright looked only to itself for guidance.
