Using The Dna Profile As The Unique Patient Identifier In The Community Health Information Network: Legal Implications, 15 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 227 (1997), Lisa L. Dahm

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

One of the greatest obstacles to electronic medical record keeping is the absence of a unique patient identifier. With the sharing of patient's information, an increased risk of error exists. Among these risks are the transmission of the wrong patient's records and security of confidential patient information. Implementation of a uniform patient identifier will eliminate the obstacle to cooperation and information-sharing of health data. This article proposes the application of a unique protocol, which utilizes DNA fingerprints as a patient's personal identifier. Since each individual's DNA profile is distinctly different, the fingerprint would act as the patient's personal bar code, …

Right On The Mark: Defining The Nexus Between Trademarks And Internet Domain Names, 15 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 277 (1997), G. Peter Albert Jr.

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

The Internet is a rapidly expanding global network. The Internet provides a virtual marketplace in which many small companies are given the opportunity to have increased leverage to compete with their larger corporate counterparts. Businesses are establishing their presence on the Internet through the creation of a domain name. The domain name is an alphanumeric address that identifies a specific location on the Internet. Each domain name reflects a distinct address that distinguishes it from any other. Similarly, qualification of a word or symbol as a trademark must include the following three elements: (1) "function" to identify and distinguish the …

The Scientological Defenestration Of Choice-Of-Law Doctrines For Publication Torts On The Internet, 15 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 361 (1997), Christopher P. Beall

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

Two major doctrines exist for choosing which state's law applies to an interstate tort: the "lex loci deliciti" (the law of the place of the wrong) approach and the "most significant relationship" approach. In the context of the Internet, the "lex loci deliciti" approach has been criticized for its harshness. For example, it is possible for an e-mail posting to be non-actionable where written, but actionable where read. Likewise, the "most significant relationship" approach has been criticized for its indeterminacy and lack of predictability because the outcome as to the extent of liability for a publication tort on the Internet …

Keeping Business Out Of The Bedroom: Protecting Personal Privacy Interests From The Retail World, 15 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 391 (1997), David J. Klein

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

The federal government as well as private companies maintain personality profile lists containing records of personal information touching on many aspects of an individual's life. Some companies seek to acquire these lists from the federal government or from other businesses in order to increase their profits by targeting those individuals within the lists who appear most likely to buy their products or services. Therefore, personal information that consumers initially disclosed to a business in confidence becomes public knowledge shared among other businesses. As a result, consumers feel that the list creator invaded their privacy. Frustrated consumers attempt to keep such …

An Island In The Net: Domain Naming And English Administrative Law, 15 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 493 (1997), Mark Gould

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

The United Kingdom's system for assigning domain names is privately run and follows some Internet standard for assignments and revocations. However, there are some internal restrictions that reflect the policy of accommodating existing domains and avoiding DNS lock up, which might occur with badly configured domain name servers. Nominet does not easily fit into definitions of a private function since it does have some public characteristics. In addition, no British counterpart to the Internet Service OC exists. The policies followed by Nominet in allocating domain names reflects conventions established prior to its existence. These policies do not appear to take …

We've Got Your Number: An Overview Of Legislation And Decisions To Control The Use Of Social Security Numbers As Personal Identifiers, 16 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 529 (1998), Flavio L. Komuves

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

In the face of technology which allows for the storage and sharing of information on individuals in an unprecedented way, individuals still maintain the right to informational privacy. However, the extensive use of Social Security numbers as universal identifiers is one of the most serious manifestations of privacy concerns in the United States. Numerous private sources, such as financial institutions and blood banks, and governmental sources, such as the Internal Revenue Service and the courts, use these numbers as identifiers either by voluntary choice or as required by law. Inadequate restrictions on these uses have led to serious violations of …

Rating Internet Content And The Spectre Of Government Regulation, 16 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 625 (1998), James V. Dobeus

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

Parents and legislators have become increasingly concerned about access by children to Internet websites. The Communications Decency Act was the first to attempt to address the issue, but it failed to pass a constitutional challenge. Logically, the next step is to rate websites on the Internet. However, mandatory rating legislation will force providers to rate their sites using rating vocabularies such as RSACi, which they might not agree with. A voluntary rating system or old fashioned parental authority seems like a good solution, but both are based on a subjective determination that everyone may not agree with. Society has a …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

Many public libraries provide patrons with free public-access Internet terminals, largely for accessing information available on the World Wide Web. However, public concern exists over the ability of children who browse the Web without adult supervision to view sexually explicit materials and other inappropriate items. This concern has led to the development of various Internet filtering software programs. Some filtering programs operate by blocking access to documents containing certain words or phrases or combinations thereof. However, more common programs permit access only to documents or sites that appear in a pre-selected, "safe" database or that block access to documents that …

Tyrannous Lex, Thomas E. Baker

Faculty Publications

Professor Baker presents a fundamentally unique question. Including all of the legal opinions, statutes and administrative rules, how much law do we have? Is there way to calculate a “Gross Legal Product” for the United States and what effect does this “GLP” have on the U.S. economy? What about all of the secondary legal sources? What do they add, if anything, to our ability to understand all of the law that is constantly being produced? All these and more are the subject of Professor Baker’s article.
