A Chemical View Of The Most Ancient Metazoa – Biomarker Chemotaxonomy Of Hexactinellid Sponges., Volker Thiel, Martin Blumenberg, Jens Hefter, Thomas Pape, Shirley A. Pomponi, John K. Reed, Joachim Reitner, Gert Worheide, Walter Michaelis
A Chemical View Of The Most Ancient Metazoa – Biomarker Chemotaxonomy Of Hexactinellid Sponges., Volker Thiel, Martin Blumenberg, Jens Hefter, Thomas Pape, Shirley A. Pomponi, John K. Reed, Joachim Reitner, Gert Worheide, Walter Michaelis
Faculty Scholarship
Hexactinellid sponges are often considered to be the most ancient metazoans. Lipid biomarkers from 23 species were studied for information on their phylogenetic properties, particularly their disputed relation to the two other sponge classes (Demospongiae, Calcarea). The most prominent lipid compounds in the Hexactinellida comprise C28 to C32 polyenoic fatty acids. Their structures parallel the unique patterns found in demosponge membrane fatty acids (‘demospongic acids’) and strongly support a close phylogenetic association of the Demospongiae and the Hexactinellida. Both taxa also show unusual mid-chain methylated fatty acids (C15–C25) and irregular C25- and C40-isoprenoid hydrocarbons, tracers for specific eubacteria and Archaea, …

Availability Of Works Cited In Recent Law Review Articles On Lexis, Westlaw, The Internet, And Other Databases, Simon Canick
Faculty Scholarship
In this study, a group of recent law articles was examined to determine the proportion of cited resources that are easily findeable online. Searches were conducted in databases such as LEXIS and Westlaw, and on the Internet, for full-text versions of every source cited in seven articles. The results have been broken down into 13 categories, including: federal cases, books, foreign law, and legal periodicals pre-1990. Not surprisingly coverage differs widely between the categories. Overall the study found that 77% of the 1,984 citations in the articles reviewed are available online. This article concludes with a general discussion of why …

Copyright Infringement And Peer-To-Peer Technology, Niels Schaumann
Faculty Scholarship
In this article, I will analyze the activities of peer-to-peer ("P2P") users to determine more precisely which, if any, of their actions infringe copyright. In Part II, I will describe the process of copyright lawmaking and the recent evolution of copyright law in response to technology. This discussion will include a brief description of conventional and P2P network technology. A copyright analysis of user activities on P2P networks follows in Part III, where I argue that the nature of copyright legislation requires courts to be especially careful and precise in determining the contours of infringing noncommercial conduct by members of …
A Brief History Of Chicana/O School Segregation: One Rationale For Affirmative Action, Margaret E. Montoya
A Brief History Of Chicana/O School Segregation: One Rationale For Affirmative Action, Margaret E. Montoya
Faculty Scholarship
This article uses Critical Race Theory methodologies, such as autobiographical narratives, and analytical approaches, such as revising the history of the civil rights struggle, especially as it applies to the Chicano-Latino communities. This paper represents a student-faculty collaboration in that the students organized the conference at which some of this analysis was first proposed. This was the conference at which now Justice Sonia Sotomayor made her now iconic comments about being a "wise Latina." People can't get to be judges without first going to law school, and Latinas/as can't get to law school, at least in significant numbers, without affirmative …
Teaching A Professional Responsibility Course: Lessons Learned From The Clinic, Antoinette M. Sedillo Lopez
Teaching A Professional Responsibility Course: Lessons Learned From The Clinic, Antoinette M. Sedillo Lopez
Faculty Scholarship
In teaching Ethics or Professional Responsibility, I want to do more than teach students the law of the course. While it is important that students become familiar with and able to navigate the rules of professional responsibility, my clinical teaching has helped me develop additional educational objectives that I believe will affect their lives as future lawyers. I categorize my objectives in a three-credit classroom professional responsibility course as three-fold: 1) teaching the law of lawyering; 2) exploring professionalism issues;20 and 3) critically examining the profession. I will discuss a few of my experiences teaching in the clinic and how …
Farmworkers As An Environmental Justice Issue: Similarities And Differences, Eileen Gauna
Farmworkers As An Environmental Justice Issue: Similarities And Differences, Eileen Gauna
Faculty Scholarship
This paper endeavors to situate farmworker issues within a broader context of issues in environmental regulation. Environmental regulation is itself a subset of a broader universe of environmental justice concerns. In approaching the issue this way, the author highlights some of the similarities farmworker issues share with other regulatory environmental justice issues. The author highlights the dramatic differences as well. Leaving to others the task of describing the dire conditions of the farmworker, the author takes two important examples of regulatory mechanisms designed to protect farmworkers and describe some of the commonalities. The two sites of regulatory activity used are …

Explorations In The Classroom: A Book Review Of Secured Credit: A Systems Approach, Nathalie Martin
Faculty Scholarship
Part I of this book review discusses and summarizes two prior reviews of this book. Part II discusses how the book successfully provides context and relevance to its highly technical subject matter, through the use of pop culture, helpful ordering of the materials, and realistic problem sets. Part III describes some of the many ways this book can be used to provide flexibility in the classroom, from teaching different learning styles to creating additional components to the course grade. Part IV concludes that any teacher of Secured Transactions should strongly consider trying this text.

United States Human Rights Policy In The 21st Century In An Age Of Multilateralism Respondent, Catherine Powell
Faculty Scholarship
Professor Harold Koh's thoughtful article, A United States Human Rights Policy for the 21st Century, 46 ST. Louis U. L.J. 293 (2002), ends with the observation that "globalization has both sinister and constructive faces."' Indeed, we live in a world that is increasingly interdependent. Even some of those opposed to the project of globalization ironically depend on the tools of globalization to undermine it. Consider the terrorists who hijacked airplanes on September 11, 2001 and flew them into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, killing thousands of innocent civilians from many different nations. The terrorists used the Internet and …
Don't Believe Everything You Think: Cognitive Bias In Legal Decision Making, Ian Weinstein
Don't Believe Everything You Think: Cognitive Bias In Legal Decision Making, Ian Weinstein
Faculty Scholarship
This article discusses the role of cognitive bias in legal decision making. Drawing on research in cognitive science and law, it explores the impact of cognitive bias on both lawyers and clients. These often subtle mental biases can lead to pervasive errors in decision making by causing us to ignore important information and make inaccurate predictions. They may lead a client to underestimate the risk of litigation. They may also lead a lawyer to miscategorize a client's value choice as a misjudgement of fact. The article offers illustrative stories of the impact of bias on both client and lawyer and …
A Glance At The New Article 9 Secured Transaction, Nathalie Martin, Frederick M. Hart
A Glance At The New Article 9 Secured Transaction, Nathalie Martin, Frederick M. Hart
Faculty Scholarship
Those of us who teach a course on Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (Secured Transactions) dreaded the approach of July I, 2001. On that day, a revised version of Article 9 became effective in New Mexico and most other states. The old notes had to be discarded. New materials had to be prepared, or at least the old ones had to be revised. Perhaps there would be some excitement in learning what the drafters had done, but more obvious was the effort needed to learn something new. Maybe it was time to retire. We have now taught the …

From Harlem To Havana: Sustainable Urban Development Symposium - Environmental Law And Sustainable Development , Sheila R. Foster
Faculty Scholarship
Consider two remarkable places: Harlem, New York and Old Havana, Cuba. These are two different neighborhoods, cities, countries, political systems, economies, and cultures. Yet these two neighborhoods are bound together by a common phenomenon unlimited by geography or differences in political and economic systems. The global prosperity of the last two decades has created historic opportunities to usher in development and revitalization efforts in neglected urban areas across the world! Governments, along with the private sector, have moved capital back to cities or neighborhoods that became endangered from years of disinvestment, lack of economic opportunities, and inadequate access to essential …

It is an honor for me to be invited to address you at this Annual Luncheon. You have worked hard to bring opportunities to members of the minority community. You have made possible the realization of many aspirations while continuing the struggle toward equal opportunity for all people.* Thirty-nine years ago, Martin Luther King, Jr., spoke to the soul of the nation, sharing his vision of an America that would "one day...rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed-'We hold these truths to be self evident, that all [persons] are created equal." His idea and the opportunity …

Comparison Of Deep-Water Coral Banks And Lithoherms Off Southeastern U.S.A., John K. Reed
Faculty Scholarship
Two types of deep-water coral bioherms occur off the coast of southeastern United States: Oculina and Lophelia/ Enallopsammia. The deep-water Oculina bioherms form an extensive reef system at depths of 70–100 m along the shelf edge off central eastern Florida. These reefs are comprised of numerous pinnacles and ridges, 3–35 m in height. Each pinnacle is a bank of unconsolidated sediment and coral debris that is capped on the slopes and crest with living and dead colonies of Oculina varicosa, the ivory tree coral. In comparison, deep-water reefs of Lophelia pertusa and Enallopsammia profunda corals occur at depths …

Maccrate's Missed Opportunity: The Maccrate Report's Failure To Advance Professional Values Symposium, Russell G. Pearce
Faculty Scholarship
The 1992 Report of the Task Force on Law Schools and the Profession: Narrowing the Gap (the "Task Force"), Legal Education Professional Development - An Educational Continuum, popularly known as the MacCrate Report (the "Report"), was the most ambitious effort to reform legal education in the past generation. Some commentators have described the Report as "the greatest proposed paradigm shift in legal education since Langdell envisioned legal education as the pursuit of legal science through the case method in the late 19th century.” Although the Report sought to promote education in both lawyering skills and values, its major influence has …

Lawyers, Non-Lawyers And Mediation: Rethinking The Professional Monopoly From A Problem-Solving Perspective , Jacqueline Nolan-Haley
Lawyers, Non-Lawyers And Mediation: Rethinking The Professional Monopoly From A Problem-Solving Perspective , Jacqueline Nolan-Haley
Faculty Scholarship
Mediation is a big business today that is practiced by lawyers and non-lawyers, and is closely related to the business of law. Lawyers have a long-standing monopoly on the law business and do not look favorably on sharing their power with nonlawyers. This phenomenon is odd because it occurs at the same time that the legal profession is beginning to embrace a new ethic of problem-solving that honors the values of collaboration and power-sharing among professionals in multiple disciplines. Lawyers protect their professional monopoly through the unauthorized practice of law ("UPL") doctrine that limits the practice of law to licensed …
Privacy Wrongs In Search Of Remedies, Joel R. Reidenberg
Privacy Wrongs In Search Of Remedies, Joel R. Reidenberg
Faculty Scholarship
The American legal system has generally rejected legal rights for data privacy and relies instead on market self-regulation and the litigation process to establish norms of appropriate behavior in society. Information privacy is protected only through an amalgam of narrowly targeted rules. The aggregation of these specific rights leaves many significant gaps and fewer clear remedies for violations of fair information practices. With an absence of well-established legal rights, privacy wrongs are currently in search of remedies. This Article first describes privacy rights and wrongs that frame the search for remedies in the United States. It explores public enforcement of, …
