Law Firms On The Big Board?: A Proposal For Nonlawyer Investment In Law Firms, Edward S. Adams, John H. Matheson Jan 1998

Law Firms On The Big Board?: A Proposal For Nonlawyer Investment In Law Firms, Edward S. Adams, John H. Matheson

Articles

Every state has a rule proscribing nonlawyer investment in law firms. This sixty-plus-year-old prohibition has created an inefficient legal services market. Firms cannot access capital markets, limiting their opportunities for expansion, curtailing investments in technology and training, and hindering competition. Furthermore, every jurisdiction except the District of Columbia prohibits lawyers from entering into a business association with nonlawyers as partners or directors if the business provides legal services. These prohibitions against nonlawyer investment and participation in law firms have long hindered the legal profession with no signs of change. This Article advocates that these prohibitions be lifted. It discusses the …

Employee Beware: The Irreparable Damage Of The Inevitable Disclosure Doctrine, John H. Matheson Jan 1998

Employee Beware: The Irreparable Damage Of The Inevitable Disclosure Doctrine, John H. Matheson

Articles

For most of us, employment is our most significant consumer activity. People shop for employment just as they shop for goods and services. Generally, the at-will employment doctrine gives workers the freedom to leave one company for another whenever they determine that the alternative employer is offering the worker (a “consumer” of employment opportunities) a more attractive employment package or opportunity. Workers compare wage rates, benefits, skills required, and restrictions in determining which job package to “purchase” with their labor. As a society we also recognize employment as a consumer activity. Consumer protection laws regulate workplace safety and health conditions, …

Third-Party Defenses To Mortgages, Ann Burkhart Jan 1998

Third-Party Defenses To Mortgages, Ann Burkhart

Articles

When the holder of a note and mortgage 1 asserts its rights, well-established law delineates what defenses are available to those who are liable for the debt. However, in some cases a person who is not liable for the debt-a "third party" to the loan transaction-may have a defense against the holder's action. Although the third party is not liable for the debt, it may have an interest in the mortgaged land or in the mortgage itself. Unfortunately, the law is not nearly as clear in this situation. The confusion arises in large part because the laws concerning notes and …

Demystifying Federal Labor And Employment Law Preemption, Stephen F. Befort Jan 1998

Demystifying Federal Labor And Employment Law Preemption, Stephen F. Befort

Articles

Federal preemption is an increasingly important area of expertise for labor and employment lawyers. As the sheer volume of laws and cases governing the workplace continues to multiply, so does the need to accommodate the respective spheres of federal and state regulation. For both employee and employer representatives, an understanding of federal preemption law is crucial for navigating the current maze of multiple claims and forums.

The Value Of Having A Public Transit Travel Choice, Xuehao Chu, Steven E. Polzin Jan 1998

The Value Of Having A Public Transit Travel Choice, Xuehao Chu, Steven E. Polzin

Journal of Public Transportation

The value of having a public transit travel choice is occasionally acknowledged by planners but never quantified; this paper provides a methodology to quantify it. This value of having a public transit choice is in addition to public transits benefits to users and non-users as a result of the improved performance of other modes in the transportation system resulting from the public transit investment. The value of choice accrues to the total population that has access to public transit, not just those who chose to use it or those who benefit because others have chosen it. This paper develops a …

Evaluation Of The Role Of Fructosamine As An Indicator Of Diabetic Control, Katherine Hooley Jan 1998

Evaluation Of The Role Of Fructosamine As An Indicator Of Diabetic Control, Katherine Hooley

Theses

Diabetes mellitus, a common metabolic disease, is characterised by excess circulating glucose concentrations. Such a hyperglycaemic status provides the stimulus for irreversible glycation (non-enzymatically post-translational) of structural and functional proteins. Protein glycation, although a cause of complication (neuropathy, micro/macrovascular disease), provides a time-averaged index of diabetes status and control. In particular, glycated plasma proteins analysis, i.e., the fructosamine assay, has received favourable response due to its speed, simplicity, low cost, and ease of automation. However, lack of standardisation and a universally-accepted calibrant has limited technical and subsequent clinical confidence in fructosamine analysis. In response, a comprehensive technical evaluation (including novel …

Now & Then: The Appalachian Magazine

Now & Then: The Appalachian Magazine, Volume 15, Issue 03, published in 1998. The theme of this issue is Transportation in Appalachia. The issue explores transportation in Appalachia as a force shaping history, culture, and daily life, tracing developments from Indigenous pathways and early railroads to modern highways and emerging technologies. It reflects on transportation's role in personal experience, regional growth and upheaval, and changing ideas of place, identity, and connection across the Appalachian landscape.
