N-Methylbenzothiazole-2(3H)-Selone, C8H7Nsse, Steinar Husebye, Sergey V. Lindeman, Martin D. Rudd

Chemistry Faculty Research and Publications

The crystal structure of N-methyl1,3-benzothiazole-2(3H)-selone, (mbts) has been studied to estimate the changes in the molecular geometry of the mbts ligand upon coordination. Hypervalent complexes of mbts with Te^II and I^I have been studied by us previously. A significant elongation of the Se=C bond [from 1.817 (7) in mbts to 1.85-1.88 Å in the complexes] was found, but there were no significant changes in the other geometric parameters of the ligand. The only other bond-length decrease of note was for SeC-NMe [from 1.35 (1) in mbts to 1.32-1.34 Å in the complexes]. Thus, only the …

Common Ground: Perspectives On Latino-Latina Diversity, Ediberto Román

Faculty Publications

In academic circles, when one speaks of scholarship, one speaks of scholarly legal publications. While such writing is obviously important for reform as well as for professional self-preservation,, I would take the term scholarship a step further. As true students of the law, we have a status in society that gives us a forum, and as Latinos/as we have an obligation to use our status to affect our communities. I, therefore, strongly support becoming more active by getting our voices heard beyond traditional modes of legal discourse. There are scores of communication mediums, such as newspapers and non-legal journals whose …

Campbell Law Review

This Note examines the liability of landowners to police officers who enter upon the land in the execution of their public duties and are injured as a consequence of a coincident hazardous condition on the land. Section II presents the relevant facts of Newton v. New Hanover County Board of Education and the conclusions of the North Carolina Court of Appeals and Supreme Court. Section III reviews the traditional common law in the United States related to the duty of care owed by landowners to invitees, licensees, and to a limited extent, trespassers. It also examines the modern trend that …

The Use Of Race In The Admissions Programs Of Higher Educational Institutions - A Violation Of The Equal Protection Clause?, Kevin Joyner

Campbell Law Review

This Note examines the burden placed on educational institutions to justify race-conscious admissions programs in light of the Equal Protection Clause. First, this note reviews the facts of the case and the decision in Hopwood. Next, this note provides a background of the law applicable to race-conscious programs by examining: (1) University of California v. Bakke; (2) the underlying theories of interpreting the Fourteenth Amendment; (3) the strict scrutiny standard of review; and (4) the Fourth Circuit's 1994 decision to invalidate a university's race-conscious scholarship program in Podberesky v. Kirwan. Finally, this note analyzes the decision by the Fifth Circuit. …

Fraudulent, Negligent, And Innocent Misrepresentation In The Employment Context: The Deceitful, Careless, And Thoughtless Employer, Frank J. Cavico

Campbell Law Review

This article strives to sort through the sundry ramifications of the law of misrepresentation. Accordingly, the three major classifications of misrepresentation - fraudulent, negligent, and innocent - will be differentiated clearly and then examined extensively. The elements constituting each category of misrepresentation action will be explained and illustrated. The article will focus upon the nature and extent of the tort action available to an aggrieved party who was induced to enter into a transaction or relationship by the misrepresentation of another. This tort analysis will include not only the traditional cause of action of deceit, but also the emerging tort …

North Carolina Hospitals' Dilemma: The Inherent Conflict Between Carolina Access And The Emergency Medical Treatment And Active Labor Act, Benjamin D. Overby

Campbell Law Review

This comment will show that Carolina ACCESS' Emergency Room Policy forces hospitals into a difficult situation. On one hand, the EMTALA binds emergency departments to appropriately screen all persons who enter its doors. On the other hand, Carolina ACCESS tells a hospital that it will pay for only certain services leaving the hospital to make a choice: lower its exam standards thus risking liability under EMTALA, or conduct an appropriate exam and then suffer the economic loss when the patient's condition is deemed non-emergent.

Second, this Note will discuss the significance of wetlands and the Clean Water Act.

Gob Gas: A Synthesis Of The Literature And An Empirical Model., Lloyd M. English

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

The major source of methane influx into deep coal mining operations today is the subsided and broken material behind the active longwall face, the gob, not the coal seam being mined itself. This region is complex and currently beyond the capabilities of traditional reservoir models, as clearly demonstrated by other researchers. An empirically-based approach could provide a useable tool for active mining operations. A complete history and technical background of coalbed methane emissions, methane control technology development, and the differences between international and domestic approaches to the problem is presented to provide the basis for understanding the problem and the …

A Case Of Misplaced Priorities: A Proposed Solution To Resolve The Apparent Conflict Between Sections 507 And 1113 Of The Bankruptcy Code, Steven Kropp

Cardozo Law Review

A single corporate bankruptcy is like a pebble thrown into a pond: the ripples keep extending out. Every bankruptcy filing has negative consequences for the corporation's creditors, including its workers. Indeed, a corporate bankruptcy may push many small creditors over the financial brink and even force some of them to file for bankruptcy.

Patenting Medical Procedures: A Search For A Compromise Between Ethics And Economics, Beata Gocyk-Farber

Cardozo Law Review

When doctor Samuel Pallin, an Arizona ophthalmologist, brought an infringement suit for his patent covering the "stitchless" incision in cataract surgery, he probably did not expect that he would provoke one of the most emotional patent debates in history. Physicians across the country expressed condemnation of medical process patents, calling such patents "horrendous" and warning that Dr. Pallin's victory may have "profoundly devastating and mind-boggling consequences" for medical science. The resonance in the medical community was so strong that the American Medical Association House of Delegates passed a resolution "vigorously" condemning the patenting of medical and surgical procedures and promising …

Ensuring Meaningful Jailhouse Legal Assistance: The Need For A Jailhouse Lawyer-Inmate Privilege, Julie B. Nobel

Cardozo Law Review

Imagine Jeff, a state prison inmate who is serving a twentyfive year sentence for armed robbery. During this time, he is ordered to appear before a prison disciplinary committee to face charges that he murdered another prisoner during a riot. Although Jeff is entitled to present his defense at this disciplinary hearing, he finds it difficult to prepare his case adequately because he does not know how to read or write. Since he cannot afford an attorney, Jeff seeks the help of a fellow inmate who has a reputation for being skilled in the law. This "jailhouse lawyer" counsels Jeff …

Legal Ordering Of Family Values: The Case Of Gay And Lesbian Families, Craig W. Christensen

Cardozo Law Review

In the ordinary course of events, an adoption proceeding in the New York County Surrogate's Court is an unlikely candidate for attention in the editorial pages of the New York Times. But In re the Adoption of a Child Whose First Name is Evan was not an everyday proceeding, as Times columnist Anna Quindlen observed.

Toward A Healthier Environment And A Stronger Economy: How To Achieve Common Ground, Murray L. Weidenbaum, Christopher Douglass, Michael Orlando

Murray Weidenbaum Publications

Economic and environmental interests are typically opponents in the public arena. Most efforts to bridge intellectual differences involve economists trying to get environmentalists to develop an "economic way of thinking" while conversely, ecologists attempt to sway economists toward kinder environmental values. It is time for a new approach to public policy that takes advantage of the middle ground between these two ideologies. This study presents six specific reforms that make both sound economic and environmental sense. These reforms occur within selected government spending programs, special federal tax provisions, and particular regulatory requirements.

Capture Theory And The Courts: 1967-1983, Thomas W. Merrill

Faculty Scholarship

The Administrative Procedure Act ("APA") is a framework statute, not a complete code. Its central provisions are rather spare, and a number of important questions are not covered at all. It comes as no surprise, therefore, that the judicial gloss on the APA has taken on a large significance over time. It should also come as no surprise that this interpretative mantle has assumed a different shape with different generations of judges. In this respect, our experience with the APA parallels that with the Constitution. Occasionally there is a feint in the direction of enforcing the "original understanding" of the …
