Constitutional Limits On Aid To Sectarian Universities, Kent Greenawalt

Faculty Scholarship

Because private colleges and universities have more and more difficulty keeping their heads above water financially, the possibility of government support increasingly is becoming a question of survival. Almost certainly the level of public support for private academic institutions will rise in the future, and any doubts about eligibility for this support are of vital concern for affected universities. The major issue regarding eligibility has been the status of sectarian universities. Given the stringent constitutional limits on government aid to religion, can universities that are connected to churches or are otherwise sectarian receive public assistance?

‘Ernst & Ernst V. Hochfelder’: A Critique And An Evaluation Of Its Impact Upon The Scheme Of The Federal Securities Laws, James D. Cox

Faculty Scholarship

Ernst & Ernst v. Hochfelder presented to the Supreme Court the most perplexing issue yet to arise from the implied right of action under section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule l0b-5: whether the standard of culpability imposed by those provisions includes a duty to exercise reasonable care.

Health Care Cost-Containment Regulation: Prospects And An Alternative, Clark C. Havighurst

Faculty Scholarship

Regulation of the health care system to achieve appropriate containment of overall costs is characterized by Professor Havighurst as requiring public officials to engage, directly or indirectly, in the rationing of medical services. This rationing function is seen by the author as peculiarly difficult for political institutions to perform, given the public's expectations and the symbolic importance of health care. An effort on the part of regulators to shift the rationing burden to providers is detected, as is a trend toward increasingly arbitrary regulation, designed to minimize regulators' confrontations with sensitive issues. Irrationality and ignorance are found to plague regulatory …

The Natural History Of The Workerless Ant Parasite, Formica Talbotae, Mary Talbot

Faculty Scholarship

The ant Formica talhotae Wilson is a workerless social parasite of the microgrna group, which forms mixed colonies with the host ant Formica ohscuripes Fore!. Queens produce males and females only and there is also no worker brood of F. obscuripes in the parasitized colonies. The small alates have a long flight period stretching from mid-June to late September, with flights taking place on every suitable morning when the temperature is above 71° and rising, when the sun is shining, and when there is no appreciable wind. Flights are best between 78° and 83° F. Once up on plants, alates …

Political Censorship: Some Reflections On Its Validity In Israel's Constitutional Law, Pnina Lahav

Faculty Scholarship

On 19 January 1976, the Government of Israel announced its intention to impose censorship on two categories of information:

(1) Information about the existence or content of a document relating to Israel's foreign affairs which is classified “top secret” or similarly classified and which is addressed from Israel to a foreign country or from a foreign country to Israel.

(2) Information relating to a visit by an Israeli official to a foreign country or a visit by a foreign official to Israel, or a meeting between an Israeli and a foreign official—when no diplomatic relations obtain between Israel and that …

Search And Seizure Of The Media: A Statutory, Fourth Amendment And First Amendment Analysis, James S. Liebman

Faculty Scholarship

On the evening of October 10, 1974, police appeared at radio station KPFK-FM in Los Angeles with a warrant authorizing them to search the premises for a New World Liberation Front (NWLF) "communique" that took credit for a recent bombing. The officers conducted an intensive 8-hour search-combing files, listening to tapes, and looking through reporters' notes – finally concluding that the NWLF letter was not at the station. The KPFK search warrant was one of six that California law enforcement officials have executed at press offices since 1972. The circumstances surrounding the incident illustrate the rationale behind the recent development …

Freedom Of The Press And Public Access: Toward A Theory Of Partial Regulation Of The Mass Media, Lee C. Bollinger

Faculty Scholarship

During the past half century there have existed in this country two opposing constitutional traditions regarding the press. On the one hand, the Supreme Court has accorded the print media virtually complete constitutional protection from attempts by government to impose affirmative controls such as access regulation. On the other hand, the Court has held affirmative regulation of the broadcast media to be constitutionally permissible, and has even suggested that it may be constitutionally compelled. In interpreting the first amendment, the Court in one context has insisted on the historical right of the editor to be free from government scrutiny, but …

Congressional Papers And Judicial Subpoenas And The Constitution, David H. Kaye

Faculty Scholarship

Some contemporary Congresses have lost sight of the original scope of their predecessors' assertions of privilege and now claim an absolute privilege to withhold both the originals and copies of subpoenaed papers. A few judicial opinions suggest as much or more. It is possible that even cursorily documented, ill-considered dicta can take root and flourish, and to prevent that, this article This article charts the constitutional boundaries of Congress' privilege to withhold its internal papers from judicial subpoena. It surveys the privileges expressly given Congress in the text of the Constitution as well as the privileges that might be implied …

International Trade And Finance, Jagdish N. Bhagwati

Faculty Scholarship

Professor Tinbergen must hold a record in the number of Festschriften that have been written for him. His students and colleagues have reprinted his essays, as an interesting variation on the usual form of felicitation; and a volume of essays was presented by Bos in 1969. Now, Willy Sellekaerts has produced three volumes towards the same end! In a world of increasing output and diminishing time to read it, it is doubtful whether this Wicksellian phenomenon of exploding Festschriften for a single scientist should be applauded, regarded with amusement, or deplored! Does not the law of diminishing marginal utility apply …

Class Actions, Richard Briffault

Faculty Scholarship

In 1966, the Supreme Court promulgated an amended rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, replacing a rule that had remained unchanged since 1938. The 1938 rule, which was understood to reflect Professor Moore's famous distinctions among "true," "hybrid," and "spurious" class suits, proved to be a source of confusion almost from its date of promulgation, and by i966 courts were having great difficulty applying the concepts of joint and several rights the rule relied upon to define cases appropriate for class treatment. Commentators ignored the terms of the rule and sought justification for conclusive adjudication of absentee …

The Senegal Valley Authority: A Unique Experiment In International River Basin Planning, Theodore Parnall, Albert E. Utton

Faculty Scholarship

The OMVS (l'Organisation Pour la Mise en Valeur du Fleuve Senegal) is a unique exception to this assessment. The three West African governments of Mali, Mauretania, and Senegal (the "Member States") are engaged in an experiment in international organization that is not only following the most advanced concepts of integrated river basin development,, but which may also afford a lesson in cooperation on a broad scale. This article is intended as a description of the organizational history and structure of the OMVS and a comparison with those of other international river commissions with similar goals.

Juris: Legal Information In The Department Of Justice, James E. Hambleton

Faculty Scholarship

JURIS is the computerized legal information system being developed by the Department of Justice for use by its attorneys. The system has been devised not only to help in statutory and case law research, but to provide access to memoranda, briefs, and other work products generated in daily departmental activity. From modest beginnings, JURIS has grown in use and in data-base capabilities. JURIS search strategy, which involves building up sets of data into a search "tree" has proven to be effective for its users. After a year-long evaluation project was completed in May 1975, the results indicated enough user acceptance …

On Justifying Enforced Requirements: A Reply To Baier, David B. Lyons

Faculty Scholarship

There are limits to the possible subjects of justification. Typically, it concerns human behavior and things that human intervention can affect. Failing special circumstances, it makes no sense to speak of justifying the weather. There may be other limits to the class of possible subjects for justification; for example, it is sometimes said that a thing cannot be justified unless it has been indicted, though it is not clear how this claim should be taken. For there simply may be no point in bothering to justify something that is not suspect in some way, and the relevant condition can generally …

Law And Medicine: Myths And Realities In The Medical School Classroom, George J. Annas

Faculty Scholarship

The goal of legal education in a nutshell is to get the student to "think like a lawyer." The goal of medicolegal courses in medical schools, on the other hand, has often seemed to be to get the medical student to think bad things about lawyers. While the total solution to the legendary distrust between these two professions may not be an understanding of methodology, this article will suggest that one way to increase cooperation between the professions is to teach law in medical schools in a way that emphasizes methods of approaching problems and which seeks to dispel the …
