So Long Sweetheart - State Farm Fire & (And) Casualty Co. V. Gandy Swings The Pendulum Further To The Right As The Latest In A Line Of Setbacks For Texas Plaintiffs., Timothy D. Howell Jan 1997

So Long Sweetheart - State Farm Fire & (And) Casualty Co. V. Gandy Swings The Pendulum Further To The Right As The Latest In A Line Of Setbacks For Texas Plaintiffs., Timothy D. Howell

St. Mary's Law Journal

Some legal commentators would analogize the description of the prisoner of The Pit and the Pendulum to modern tort law and policy. Like a pendulum, tort law is always in motion, swinging between two ideologies: those being the plaintiff-oriented rights of the 1970s-80s, and the tort-reforms which began in the mid-80s. This trend continued until the 1990s and the decision of State Farm Fire & Casualty Co. v. Gandy where Texas plaintiffs began experiencing setbacks. The Gandy decision likely curtails the use of the “sweetheart deal” a practice, in which an insured defendant first settles with the plaintiff, then assigns …

Transit Subsidies In New York And Chicago: Local, State, And Federal Assistance In A Historical Context, Eric Petersen Jan 1997

Transit Subsidies In New York And Chicago: Local, State, And Federal Assistance In A Historical Context, Eric Petersen

Journal of Public Transportation

Nearly all studies of the impact of government subsidies on the transit industry have excluded systems with rail transit. Thus, previous findings cannot simply be extended to transit systems in major metropolitan areas. As a preliminary step in addressing the issue of subsidies and large transit systems, this paper presents historical information on the financial state of the two largest transit systems in the U.S. – Chicago’s CTA and New York's NYCT. In addition, the subsidies to each system are broken down by level of government-federal, state, and local. The patterns for the two systems are quite differellf. The CTA …

The Race To The Bottom And Federal Environmental Regulation: A Response To Critics, Richard L. Revesz Jan 1997

The Race To The Bottom And Federal Environmental Regulation: A Response To Critics, Richard L. Revesz

Faculty Articles

Five years ago, I challenged the race-to-the-bottom rationale for allocating to the federal government responsibility over environmental regulation. Last year, I criticized the manner in which the federal environmental statutes have dealt with the problem of interstate externalities. In two more recent works, I have further extended my analysis of federalism and environmental regulation. In the past few months, articles by Kirsten Engel, Daniel Esty, Joshua Sarnoff, and Peter Swire have taken issue with my work in this area, particularly with my indictment of the race-to-the-bottom rationale for federal environmental regulation. In this essay, I respond to these critics, hoping …

The Frequency, Form, And Perceived Benefits Of Service Learning In Speech Communication Departments, Timothy L. Sellnow, Laura K. Oster Jan 1997

The Frequency, Form, And Perceived Benefits Of Service Learning In Speech Communication Departments, Timothy L. Sellnow, Laura K. Oster

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article focuses on the frequency, form and perceived benefits of service learning in speech communication departments. The widespread availability of service learning opportunities for students in speech communication departments reflects the national trend, across disciplines, to emphasize service learning on college and university campuses. Service learning provides yet another benefit in that it can substitute for traditional internships when such opportunities are lacking. Phelps and Timmis (1984) explain that the availability of traditional internships with profit-seeking corporations is often limited. Increasing participation by speech communication students in service learning, however, may be restricted by a lack of resources. Most …

Pathology, East Africa

Insecticide-treated mosquito nets have an impact on mortality and morbidity in young children under controlled conditions. When integrated into larger control programs, there is the danger that rates of regular retreatment of the nets with insecticide will drop, greatly limiting their effectiveness as a public health intervention. In Bagamoyo District, Tanzania, rates of retreatment dropped significantly when payment for the insecticide was introduced. A series of neighbourhood (hamlet) meetings were held in all study villages to discuss people's concerns about the insecticide and ways to increase rates of retreatment. Although changes were made in the procedure for retreatment, rates of …

International Human Rights Standards On Sexual Violence Against Women As They Apply To Pornography, Claudia Giunta Jan 1997

International Human Rights Standards On Sexual Violence Against Women As They Apply To Pornography, Claudia Giunta

LLM Theses and Essays

The United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women was held in Beijing in September 1995, and represented an important step towards the achievement of equality for women. At the Conference, the progress made towards equality was acknowledged, but it was also acknowledged that many goals have not been achieved yet, and that cultural changes of fundamental importance remain to be made. Indeed, in many countries the cultural approach to violence and discrimination against women is quite fatalistic; they believe violence against women cannot be solved by laws. However, this approach overlooks the role played by societies in tolerating practices of …

The Dispute Settlement Systems Of Wto And Nafta - Analysis And Comparison, Patrick Specht Jan 1997

The Dispute Settlement Systems Of Wto And Nafta - Analysis And Comparison, Patrick Specht

LLM Theses and Essays

The aim of this thesis is to determine whether the dispute settlement institutions of the WTO and the NAFTA meet the standard, to compare the two systems, and to evaluate them. An issue that should be dealt with first is the question of comparability. Is it possible to compare the WTO and the NAFTA regarding their conflict resolution procedures? Or are they too different because one agreement works on the global level and the other on a regional one? Their institutions and their scope may differ, but they are still conducive to comparison because the underlying structure of these two …

Double Taxation - Treatment Of Corporate Earnings Under American And German Law, Roland Schmidt Jan 1997

Double Taxation - Treatment Of Corporate Earnings Under American And German Law, Roland Schmidt

LLM Theses and Essays

This thesis is going to describe the different ways the United States and Germany deal with the problem of double taxation in the legal context of corporate distributions to its shareholders in the form of dividends. Tax law is particularly one of the areas of laws that are subject to frequent and often substantial changes. This is true for the German as well as for the U.S. tax laws. Since some of the issues being discussed in the United States today in connection with the corporate tax law are similar if not identical to the issues discussed in Germany before …
